CANADIAN MONEY MUCH BELOW PAR
 ON ALASKAN SIDE

Canadian currency, which has been declining in value steadily on the American side of the boundary since the close of the war, is now accepted on the Alaska coast, re- luctantly, at a discount of II per cent, according to late copies of Ketchikan and other coast newspa pers.
 Lowering values and the suspen- sion of travel between Yukon and Interior Alaska points. incident to the close of navigation, have had the effect of practically eliminating Canadian money from local circu- iation, but on the coast, especially near the boundary, the high rate of discount is driving considerable trade away from American ports
 Many American halibut boats are reported to clearing direct for the sea fisheries from Prince Rupert, says a recent copy of the ketchikan Chronicle, instead of coming to Ketchikan for supplies before pro ceeding outside. The high rate of exchange against Canada is given as the cause of this situation.
 When the boats take their catches to Prince Rupert they are paid in Canadian currency, which at presen is at a discount of about. II percent. That means that when they return to ketchikan for supplies they can get only 80 cents worth of goods for every dollar in Canadian cur rency they bring with them. On the other hand, their dollars are worth one hundred cents in Prince Rupert, with the consequence that necessary supplies are being pur- chased there.
 The slump in Canadian currency values also is called to the atten- tion of the public by the Miners & Merchants bank of Ketchikan, which recently carried the following ad- vertisement, addressed "To Our Gus toner's: -:~.
 The rate of discount on Canadi- an exchange having advanced so rapidly during the past month. We will be obliged to handle Canadian currency, checks and drafts as col lections only We believe this to be the best method of handling such business under the present circum- stances. as in that way the customer will receive credit for the exact amount received. The changes are so great that we cannot establish rate. The last telegraphic quota tion we received was II percent

 LOST CHANCE ID GET FINNISH AID

NEW YORK.-Finland need not be counted upon for aggressive ac- tion against Bolshevism, according to H. Montagu Donner, an Ameri- can, who has just returned from Q two months visit to the new repub- lie in the North.
 MT. Donner. who is president of the Finland Constitutional League of America. said that the chance to enlist the active cooperation of the Finnish army in the campaign against Petrograd was lost last sum- mer, when Admiral kolchak, Gen eral Yudenitch and the other anti Bolshevist Russian leaders neglect ed to give timely recognition to the independence of Finland. and the Allied governments refused to give assurances of financial support. without which Finland could no. venture to enter upon war with the Soviet government.
 At that time. he said, the morale of the Bolshevist army was low and the capture of Petrograd by the combined Russian, Esthonian and Finnish armies would have been easy. Now, with the collapse of the Yudeniteh campaign, Finland must confine herself to holding her frol- tiers and protecting Eastern Karelia, which she had been invited by the inhabitants to occupy.
 Fear of Bolshevism in Finland itself, he said, had entirely disap- peared, even moderate Socialists having assured the existing coalition government of their support in case of revival of the "Rer" insurrec- tionary movement which was sup pressed with so much difficulty year ago. Fear has disappeared too of repetition of the famines un- der which Finland suffered so se- verely during the war, because the harvest last fall was exceptionally good. Food is abundant in Helsing- fors and throughout the country. and supplies promise to last through until the next harvest without re- sort to bark bread" and other fam inc substitutes of which the Fin nish population has such unhappy recollections. ~. @:%:"." !. >......
 Business conditions are good ex- cept for the extreme depreciation of the Finnish mark and the lack of shipping to carry Finnish exports. Large quantities of timber, wood pulp and paper are awaiting export in exchange for required imports, of which the most pressing are ma chinery, agricultural implements, etc. A good market is offered for American goods of this character.
 Another handicap under which Finnish industry suffers is the high cost of labor, Mr. Donner declared. The workmen now work only about seven hours daily, the five o'clock closing hour having been made prac- tically universal in all lines of in- dustry and business, while wages had greatly increased as against pre-war times

 CAUSING TROUBLE

HELSINGFORS. Finland. The only bread the majority of the resi- dents of Petrograd have been able to obtain for months has been the so-called "duranda," made from flaxseed skins from which the oil has been pressed. NJ. Saponen, 4 Petrograd art dealer, who recently succeeded in escaping from Boi- shevist Russia to Finland. and who discloses this situation. says the bread is highly irritating and causes stomach trouble.
 M Saponen expressed the opin- ion that, if the Allied blockade con tinued, the worst months for Boi- shevist Russia would be March and April. He stated that, though un- employment was general in Petro. grad, it was difficult to hire work men, owing to their weakened con dition and apathy The propertied class, who are not allowed food rations. get nothing except what they manage to buy surreptitiouSly by selling their furniture and other possessions.
 "Bartering is extensively prac- ticed in Petrograd and Moscow as well as in the country" continued M Saponen. No one may legally possess more than 5000 rubleS. When people have nothing more with which they may trade, they must join the Communist party in order to get work. That is diff cult, however. for the bourgeoisie. All the educated people try to move into the country, where conditions are better"
 Last March. foreigners, who up to that time had enjoyed special privileges. became the objects of persecution. declared M Saponen. This gradually increased until June, when foreigners, especially the Eng fish. were attacked wholesale.
 The Germans, after the BreSt- Litovsk conference. could do as they liked. but d change came with the German revolution. The German diplomats were badly treated, and after June all Germans shared tho fate of other foreigners.
 There has been little home life in Petrograd since July l, M. Sa ponen stated, when parents were ordered to take all meals in the eating houses. This or der has not yet been extended to Moscow.
 Owing to the closing of millinery shops and other places employing large numbers of women, those who were physically able went into the works and other factories. The remainder were shut off from a livelihood and were forced to shift for themselves as best they could.
 What police protection Petrograd enjoys is given by women, said NJ. Saponen, and continued:
 "A year ago every person was law unto himself, the authorities doing little to suppress lawlessness, but since last spring the police and militia, made up of women from the Baltic provinces, have been try ing to keep order In Moscow there is regular militia, the mem bers of which are often, themselves, arrested by soldiers

The Head Nurse Says:

So frequently Americans declare
they can not eat cheese. The trou-
BILE with such persons is that they
give their cheese dish the wrong
place on the menu, eating 1t at the
end OF a heavy meal instead or
making 1t the piece de resistance
as a substitute for meat as so many
| Europeans do. 1t is a very val
liable food and its use should be
encouraged. Nearly all the protein
and fat of a gallon of milk is con-
tanned in a pound of cheese and 1t
is therefore a very concentrated
food. 1t is equal in food value to
two pounds or meat. or dozen
eggs or a pint Of dried peas or
beans.
to time, from the idea that a proper
meal consists OF "a meat, two or
three vegetables and a piece of pie,"
| and could feel friendly toward some
! good cheese. a bowl of salad to
make up the carbohydrates. and
some bran or rye bread crusts, not
too fresh, for the necessary starch;
drinking (since the death of John
Barleycorn), fruit Juice with water
either hot or cold-if you could add
this variety to your menus. you
would then approach more nearly
the food of the gods.
| Meat is about three-quarters
water, cheese about one-third; so
! you see why food like salads. hav-
| ing a large percentage OF water,
should be eaten with it.
For the hot meal there are many
attractive ways of preparing cheese.
1t may be combined with eggs and
milk to make a souffle or a "rab-
bit:" or combined with the starchy
vegetables you could serve potatoes
Tr rice au gratin. Too long cook
ing toughens cheese, it needs only
to be melted.

LXXXI-Tea for Four.

Lila Demarest and Alex Muncas-
ter were having tea in a secluded
corner of the Park Inn when Doris
and Gatewood entered. Despite their
absorbed interest in each other. Do
ris unhesitatingly broke in upon
their tete-a-tete. She was beginning
to feel a trifie guilty about running
| off alone with Gatewood. 1t had
seemed such an insignificant thing
to do in her apathetic mood. but
later she began to realize that 1t
was the first time since her mar
riage that she had gone with a man
motoring or to tea. and she had a
feeling of panic at her own daring.
Lila was almost effusive in her
greeting. Her cheeks were flushed
and she wore a distrait air, but
| Alex was looking determined and
rather triumphant 1t was apparent
that the two new arrivals had
brought an end to a momentous in
terview.
What a surprise to see you, Do
ris! thought you were moving"
Lila said as the four seated them
selves around the tea table with its
! shaded lamp.
Next week-and how dread it"
sighed Doris 'T thought I'd be wild
about a house OF my own. but 1t
seems such a big undertaking with
servants and all. I dare say we've
stayed at Margaret's too long and
I've become lazy.
you must have had great fun
selecting all new furnishings" de-
clared Lila
But I didn't select them" object
ed Doris, Stewart Gid 1t all and !
only saw the things after they were
put in place"
It'll bet Doris spends the next
three months putting everything in
a new place." laughed Alex. These
women! They like to re-arrange q
room every day or two. so a fellow
can fall over things in the dark"

Alex clasped his brow melodra-
matically.
"Suffragfsts. hearken! Here is one
of your number who admits that a
mere man knows better than she
does"
Don't be silly. Alex" admonished
Lila. Mr.. Darlington is a very re-
markable man-not at all like you."
she added mischievously.
Now will you subside. Muncas-
ter?" Gatewood laughed.
There's Julietr" cried Doris sud
denly. All four turned to see Mrs.
Crosby in the smartest of tailored
linens, crossing the room, followed
by her usual company Of gay young
people. At the same, instant she
caught sight Of them and leaving
her party unceremoniously, Joined

my word. what an indiscreet par
tyr she greeted them laughingly.
1.-TWO highly respectable married
women and two fascinating bache-
lors! What food for the quidnunes!
Doris, child. when did you get spirit
enough to do it?" 49,.
Doris flushed crimson, but Gate
wood only laughed saying:
Mrs. Darlington insists she Is old
and sedate enough to chaperon Lila
and this impetuous Muncaster."
Doris murmured something inau-
dible. She was a trifie taken back
at the suggestion Gatewood was
making, for Juliet's benefit, that the
four had arrived together. Her up
right little soul shrank from the
necessity of subterfuge.
