THE NEWS AND THE LIQUOR
 INTERESTS

The disposition of many well-meaning people to see sinister motive in anything that does not square with their particular views is one of the things which interfere with rational consdera tion of things in general At this time, because the newspapers and news associations devoting con siderable space to the movement to bring about repeal modification of the prohibition amendment at least the Volstead prohibition enforcement act many prohbitonists openly stating in- sinuating that they influenced by the liquor interests. or subsidies of some sort. William J. Bryan recently almost openly accused the New York World of being paid by the "I-iquor interests The World promptly had its books exported and showed that in the last five years less than one-half per cent of it's income from in any way connected with the liquor traffic liquor in- terests.

The advertising that maintains life in newspapers and permits them to meet payrolls and paper bills and telegraph tolls and all the other costs of newspaper making is from advertisers who desire to reach the people There fore there is no business in the world that is directly dependent the public welfare and eral prosperity than the newspaper business Even

San Francisco Now Boosting For Alaska
Steward Gatewayl


 The necessity for rapid communication between Alaska and the Outside world has been brought to the attention of the San Francisco Chamber of Com merce. It pointed out that while there at the present time many wireless plants in Alaska, 1t Is very important that two stations be added, viz:
 One at Nushagak, and the other at Bethel on the Kuskokwim river.
 The ordinary of communication from these places is at the time very slow irregular, and it is felt that considerable advantage will not only to the residents of those places but siders desiring to send messages in
 The board of directors of the chamber voted unan- imously to endorse the establishment wireless plants at both of these places The committee on military affairs is already familiar with the need of this service and Hon. Julius Kahn, chairman of the committee, is heartily in favor appropria- tion being made to provide for their immediate struction.
 letter from Governor Riggs of Alaska the Association of Pacific Fisheries Seattle, outlining the necessity for providing adequate protection for the fisheries of Alaska has been brought to the at tenton of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce This communication requests indorsement of a irent of a uniformed consabulary similar a cer- tain extent to the constabuary of Pennsylvania or the Royal Northwest Mounted Police. This force would be Federay controlled and absolutely removed from any Territorial political influence The annual maintenance of this force, sufficient for interest at stake, would probably be in the neigh borhood of $350000, not counting the initial ex- pense for equipment.
 The board of directors of the chamber gave con- sideration to the merits of the request endorsed the number advocated by Governor Riggs, well as the enactment of suitable legislation carry out the purposes outlined in the governors communi- cation.

LET EVERYBODY HELP

The action of the City Council last Friday nlght in starting a movement to secure detention nos oits and quarantine station in Southeastern Alaska ;e a move in the right direction. Alaska IS very nnch in need of such an institution. A detention hospital and quarantine station in Alaska would serve a very useful purpose indeer to both the peo pie of this Territory and to those engaged h shlp ming The presence of such institution Ill AlasKa could very well prevent the spread of disease that would raise among our people and to business and its location here might easily save passenger ship and load of passengers from the great cost in money and time of a trip to the station near Port Townsend.
 Gov Riggs already has urged the establishment of detention hospital and quarantine station Tn Alaska and no doubt he and Delegate Grigsby will do all within their power to further the plan ad- vanced at the meeting of the City Council Friday night Tn the meantime the whole community should get behind the Council and all should push hard

season, to regard it as of second

OUR good maid has taken a-to
us-sudden departure. To the
man-size jobs already planned for
the season ahead of us must now
be added general housework." Now,
of course, we all know that
it is perfectly possible for two
able-bodied women to perform ade-
quately the general homework con-
nected with a medium size house
and a small family; but it requires
headwork to sandwich it into time
already full to the brim. We pro-
ceeded to apply ourselves to the
problem.
One successful change which we
made was the elimination of lunch
con as a served meal from the dailv
routine. Any sort of a meal, served
on the dining room table, involving
setting and clearing away, would
take at the least calculation from an
hour to an hour and a half. We
purposed to save time at lunch by
cutting down "before" and CATER"
to five minutes each.

In summer there is never any diff

scent and sight.
For city jewellers tiny balcony

cooler or wet weather we set our
trays at each end of the kitchen

The lighter forms of shell fish
have also been selected for two of
the evening dinners, and the broiled
mackerel for Wednesday and the

Raw Cabbage Joins the Salads
Crisp vegetable salads are served
every day, and among the edible
salad greens finely shredded
chilled cabbage must not be over
looked; it is far more valuable as a
food uncooked; and now that lettuce
and other greens are so high in
price it should need no further rec
ommendation.

vegetables may be utilized. Cut them

When a Jar ofMayonnaise
Meets a Hard Boiled Ego

SALADS are godsend as main
dishes for summer lunches for
grownups. We always keep a jar
OF one Of the best brands of store
mayonnaise on hand, and consider
that particular food product one of
the most valuable and useful ready
to-use articles ever invented. Buy
the pint jars for so cents each, and
counting the jar itself at the mar
net price, 40 cents is not an extrava-
cant price to pay for the dressing,
which is delicious and makes any
salad more hearty.
If you are planning a salad Of
leftover vegetables, hard boil an egg
or two at breakfast time and add to
the salad, thus increasing it's nu-
tritive value
And, by the way, it is good idea
to boil couple Of eggs against a
time Of need, when luncheon or other
plans seem q bit sketchy. You can
utilize them in making many hot
Shve-minute" dishes, as we'll as
salads. Also let me urge the acqui-
sition Of one Of the little egg slicers.
They are among the most convenient
of time-saving machines" and eggs
are sliced by them much more dain-
tily and perfectly than by hand.
Try hard boiled egg sliced on
