IoOu we serve depends upon the KIM
of people we are to serve. A child
needs plain, wholesome food, ms do
hungry men. When one has a heavy
main dish, Il light dessert should fol-
low, and when serving a light main
dish, a hearty dessert.
Fats I'm meats need acid fruits and
tart flavors to cut them and make
them both appetizlng and digestlble.
During the heated term the meat
dishes should be cut down. Nitrog-
enous foods have a process of putre-
faction which is peculiar to that food.
BY this decomposition by-products are
formed, which are more or less poi
sonOus. Vegetable foods may ferment
and cause irritation, but with animal
foods, as well as the protein vegetable
foods like peas and beans, these poi
sons often cause autolntoXlcation. The
vast majority who suffer in this way
are overeaters. Going without meal
once or twice week, or fasting Il day,
would improve the health of two-thirds
of the OYerfat and self-indulgent. The
individual who cannot say "nO" to his
appetite, "for his stOmachs sake" will
not stand very firm on higher demands.
In dishes requiring milk. the overfed
should use skim milk. This will make
n very acceptable soup; rice and tnpl
oca may be cooked in skim milk; chick
en- and ham. which is such favorite
dish baked In milk. The skim milk
may be used, at much less expense.
Veal en- Casserole.--Cut the veal In
serving-slzed pieces, roll In seasoned
flour and brown In n little fat. Have
the casserole hot, add the meat with
chopped green pepper and one small
onion, also chopped. Add little hot
water cover and cook slowly for three
hours. Add seasonings when the dish
is hnlf-cooked. An old fowl, squirrel
or rabbit may be made into most
tasty dish by'this long slow-cooking.

Half dozen men came forward,

Fairchild turned to say good.5y to

against her will, to far end of the
dance hall, and there was quarrellng
with her. Fairchlld hurried to join
the sheriff and his two deputies, Just

minutes later they were In a motor car,
chugging up Kentucky gulch.
Slowly, the motor car fighting

of them went forward afoot toward

Preliminary examination and sur vey of the Apoon mouth of the Yukon River and Bristol Bay to the mouth of Kotlik River were authorized by the 62nd Congress, 1909-1911, during it's second session On this a favor able report was made calling for an appropriation of $130,000 which was adopted. Of this sum $129,03004 was expended between 1912 and 1916. The project was modified and in the sec ond session of the 63rd Congress, 1913- 15, an additional $45.0O0 was appro- priated, of which $43,950,13 was later withdrawn, the total expenditures on the project being $131 1,O49.S7. KUsKokWIM SURVEY MADE
 In the third session of the 62nd Congress, authorization for surveying two projects was given. These were Kuskokwim River through the bay of the same name and Sergius Narrows. Both were reported on favorably by the examining officers.
 SNAKE RIVER PROJECT
 The 64th Congress authorized the preliminary examination and survey of the mouth of Snake River and Nome Harbor. A favorable report was made on this, carrying estimates for $95,0O0 for first construction, $12,500 for the first years maintenance and $7,5O0 annually thereafter. This was adopt ed. In 1921 a revised estimate was adopted of $273 ,O00 Of this sum there had been appropriated or allotted up to June 30, 1921, $271,950.13, of which had been expended up to that date on the project is to be accomplished during the present season, a provi- sional contract having been awarded last week to a prominent dredge oper- ator of Nome to do the work.
 INTERIOR PROJECT DIsAPPRoVED
 In 1917 preliminary examination of the Tolovana River was made with a view of removing Instructions to navigation between it's mouth and the Log Jam, head of steamer navigation. This was not recommended and was dropped. Recently authorization was asked for another examination of the project which will probably be made this season. A preliminary examina- tion of Controller Bay was also made in 1917-1S and was unfavorably re- ported.
 The last two examinations, men, toned above, were in connectionwith Wrangell Harbor and Wrangell Mar rows. Favorable reports were made on both but have not been adopted by Congress.
 NEW WORK PROPOSED
 During the present season Colonel Steese will have examinations made of and reports submitted on the dredg- ing of Gastineau Channel at Men denhall bar, canals at Oliver Inlet and Hawk Inlet for the purpose of i'm proving connections with existing steamship routes; on Tolovana River, and on the Yukon-Kuskokwim port age.

1e YEARS RECORD

The statement covers the activities of the board in Alaska for a period of 19 years, beginning with 1903. A peculiar coincidence shown by the statement is that the first project sug- gested is identical with the last one approved by the board and the War Department and for which estimates have been submitted to Congress. In 1903, following a preliminary eXamin- ation and survey of Wrangell Mar rows with a view of providing a safe and adequate channel, favorable re- port was made to the board, calling for an appropriation of $1,600,000. This was not adopted. Last year another examination and preliminary survey was made and a favorable report sub mitted by Colonel Steese to the board which was adopted and Congress has been asked to appropriate $500 GOO to launch the work, which it is esti- mated will cost s2,oO0,O00 to complete.
 FIRST APPROPRIATION MADE
 The first appropriation made by Congress was during the 59th Con- gress for $248,O00 for strengthening and otherwise improving St. Michael canal. Virtually all of this sum was expended in 1908 and 1909. In the 61st Congress the project was modi- fled and an additional appropriation Of $143,00O allowed, of which $12,500 was later withdrawn The total expendi- ture on the project was $377,621.71.
 OTHER ACTIVITIES SHOWN
 The first session of the Goth Con- gress, 19O5-1907, provided for the pre- liminary examination and survey of Dry Straits, which was reported unfay- orably. Twelve years later this pro- feet was revived and following a sec ond examination and survey was fav- orably reported carrying estimates Of S2,OOO,000 for initial expenditures, S10O ,O00 maintenance for the first year after completion, $50,000' for the sec ond year and $30,000 annually there after. This report was not adopted. The first session of the 60th Congress also authorized examination and sur vey of Katalla Bay and adjacent bays on which unfavorable reports were submitted. The removal of the wreck of the steamer Rock Island was also approved and $1,450.37 expended.

Since 1907 the Board of Rivers and Harbors has expended on various pro- jects in Alaska a total of $78O, ,621.71, according to figures issued by Col. James G.
