RANANA PREFERS NICE

Dear Corner Friends: Many persons who like bananas but can not eat them without feeling distressed can digest them without feeling distressed can digest them easily in the form of fritters:
 My rule is to mix and sift l cuDful flour. 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 table spoon powdered sugar, one-fourth tea spoon salt; beat an egg till very light add one-fourth cup milk, and when well stirred into the dry mixture add a table spoonful of lemon juice. Flavor to taste Slice three bananas into the bat ter drop the mixture into hot fat; some prefer the patent mixture-but have it hot enough to brown crumb of bread in 50 seconds.
 Any other fruit may be used instead of the bananas but as noted, this is a good way 10 be sure of making this fruit digestible for delicate stomachs.

coon PoULTRY RESULTS

Dear Corner Writers: Last spring Sweet Lavendar inquired in regard to the poultry business. but l do not think anyone responded.
 Perhaps grain being so high many have disposed of their business. I have taken a vacation in one line and have not raised any chickens this year. AL though it was so cold last winter our IT hens did not stop laying. This re- cord from December first to the present August ninth is 1633. Their ages are from one year to four.
 We have kept the R. L Reds for sev- eral years and like them the best for an all purpose fowl.
 If they could have free range the feed bill would be reduced one-half
 If people would give them plenty of grass and weed when confined in yards it would help to keep down the cost Diana: I have not forgotten that there is letter unanswered. Your oCrner letter was good to read.

 Remove cocoa or blood stains with cold water
 If a ring is left on material that has been cleaned with a cleaning fluid, it may be entirely removed by holding it in the steam from kettle for 8 few min utes The material should be perfectly dry before it is held in the steam. To remove ink and fruit stains from the floor. wash the stained part with cold water and then cover with bak- nig soda, rubbing it gently with the hand, when dry wash off with soda and you will find the stain will disappear as if by magic.

 sion demanded such action. Refer
 ring to politics, Gompers, said that
 all of the federation's victories had been won without party, and he
 reasserted his non-partisan policy. 1 He denounced the overall and
 apron campaign as ostentatlous, and 1 the advice given workers to cut | down the cost of living by eating
 cheap meat he branded as an insult, | Workers, he declared, should eat
 as good meat as anyone better

BLAST IS FATAL ID ROCK WORKER
 SOUTH OF TOWN

The first fatality to be recorded in connection with the grading op- erations in Nenana canyon occurred at about II o'clock this morning, near Mile 354, when Herman Nel- son, a station laborer in the em- ploy of Contractor Ed Lund, was instantly killed by a blast. The unfortunate man was decapitated and his right arm was also blown off by the explosion.
 Nelson was engaged in ''bulldoz- ing" and had put in shot, which failed to respond promptly. After awaiting results for some little time at safe distance, Nelson concluded that something was wrong, and went back to make an examination of the charge. When he reached the spot the shot went off.
 The deceased is quite we'll known around town, but very little is known of his affairs or of his rela- tives. He formerly mined on Slate creek, where he had partner named Charles Swanson, and it is believed that he has funds in the bank at Valdez.
