A Sermonette
BY WINIFRED STUART GIBBS,

1t is a lamentable fact that so many
people do not pay any attention to the
nutritive value of the food set before
them. IL they do not like meal they
complain, or il they like it they may
praise it or perhaps say nothing at all.
but rs TO whether or not the meal is
balanced according to dietetic prin-
ciplcs--they never give it thought.
The progressive mother of today is
very much concerned with nutrition
problems. but it is not fair that she
should take the whole responsibility.
To carefully plan meal with the
proper food elements. and then to pre-
pare and serve that meal. is quite a
task in itself. and yet it is not suffi-
cient. for no matter how carefully
these things are done ''e meal does
not serve it's purpose il il is not eaten.
\ well-balanced meal may be most I'M
balanced for one person who omits one
or two things because he or she does
not care for them.
1t would be most lnconveniNnt and
hardly fair to expect the mother to
watch all members Of the family in or
der to see that they eat the foods they
need. OF course she must do that to
4 certain extent. especially with the
little folks, but the others should take
some responsibility for themselves.
The mothers problem is. then. to
arouse interest in dietetic principles
and to secure the cooperation of every
member of the family at mealtimc. In
other words, she must teach them good
food habits.
Sometimes mothers become discour-
aged because. although the members of
her family eat what is set before them
they apparently pay no more attention
10 it. She wonders what kind of meals
they eat when they are away from
home and must order for themselves.
1t should be a comforting thought to
such a mother that food habits are like
other habits-once formed we s-'0w
them unconsciously. People who have
become accustomed to wcll-balanced
meals or certain foods in their diet will
unconsciously plan or order the same
kind of meals wherever they are. 1t is
becaus enutrition is so largely ques-
ton of habit that it is most essential
to help our children form the correct
habits early in life.
4 sturdy little 4-year-old who had
received most careful training in food
habits was taken to a large hotel for
dinner. After studying the menu card
seriously. as he saw his father doing,
he calmly announced to the waiter
that he would have a baked potato.
chop. some spinach and n glass of milk.
He knew what foods. he could eat and
did not need any help in ordering. He
apparently takes no interest in the
things he should not eat. In such a
case careful training means much e"s
responsibility for the mother. for that
child does not eat forbidden fruit
even though she is not present to adj
wise him.

Mother Slimkins was hostess at an
informal tea. The family had begun
to feel at home in the neighborhood
and Mother Slimkins felt that she
would like to get better acquainted
with. the housewives who were show
ing such cordially to her and her
problems.
When the guests had enjoyed the
delicious tea and waters, Mother SIM
kins succeeded in getting Mother Fed
well away in corner for a quiet
chat.

have already encouraged me so much
The children are really showing de-
eided gain, and as for Sam, he is
simply beaming, he feels SO much bet
ter.
What I wish to ask now is about
Coffee
Mother Fedwell smiled.
Il know. The children clamor for
it and your Sam must have it AMI
perhaps the physician says NO Is
that it,"
Exactly. How well you know; but
what shall l do? Is it really harm
full"
Not if you know how to use it.
The physician is right about the chil.
dren. Their nervous systems have not
grown up, any more than the rest
of their bodies, and even slight stimu
lants may interfere with the benefit
to be had from their food
That does not mean, however that
coffee in and of itself is harmful. You
would not think of giving the chicks
rich hearty foods that might under
proper conditions be perfectly whole

coffee in the same way.
How to Prepare Coffee.
N0n may be interested TO know
that DIR. Prescott Of the Massachuset; 5
Institute Of Technology has made
some very careful studies as to the
best methods of preparing coffee and
| chance to have with me n copy of
his conclusions, which i Will gladly
lend you"
Mother Slimkins was delighted to
receive this and read as follows:
(a) Coffee should be brewed with
water. at temperatures between 49,
degrees L. and 200 degrees L. About
this temperature decompositions yield
ing bitter flavors take place, and
mask to some degree the characteristic
and delicate true coffee flavor.
(b) The time of contact of the
ground coffee and the water should be
brief. We have found the best results
when this time period did not exceed
two to two and half minutes. With
long contacts woody flavors are ex-
tracted from the bean. and bitter
principles gradually pass into the So
luton.
Keep I'm Glazed Container.
(c) The coffee infusion should not
come in contact with metals. but
should be brewed and kept in glazed
or vitrified containers such rs porce-
lain. glass or agate ware. Even brief
contacts with some metals yield pro-
nounced bitter. astringent or metallic
flavors. due undoubtedly to the actual
solution of and combination with
minute amounts of the metal.
I'D About so to s. per cent of the
total caffein is extracted. in a contact
of two minutes when all the grains Of
coffee are thoroughly wetted. As coz

 Our Wrangell boys have made fine reputation for clean and sportsmenlike playing. They pre- sent a fine appearance and are gen. tlemanly and courteous on all occa- sions
 Yesterday they were guests at luncheon of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce Next Wednesday the team will be guests of the Alaska Stamship company for a trip to the Todd shipbuilding plant near Taco ma to inspect the new steel liner Alaska" being built there for the company. Thursday they will be guests of the Bremerton Chamber of Commerce during a trip to the US Navy yard at Bremerton where they will see a number of Uncle Sam's big ships. dry docks, etc.
 Their trip down here has been a liberal education for the boys, worth fully as much as that time spent in school if not far more, and their touch with humanity in large way will be beneficial throughout their lives.
 They could not get passage on the S.S. Alameda for this trip as she was all sold out in advance, so they will go home on the S.S. Jefferson which is their next chance.

 In addition to playing basketball games with teams in Puget Sound towns. the Wrangell high school team>is giving Alaska some good publicity. Preceding the games at a given place, a high school assembly is held, at which an opening talk is given by Professor Gross. who in turn introduces his high school stu dents-or rather four of them-who read prepared papers on industrial subjects. The one at Olympia was attended by 900 high school pupils and people generally.
 Professor Gross talks of the beau tiful trip to Alaska; the size of the territory as compared to the United States; its annual product; its schools: it's government; its income tax; its great undeveloped wealth and resources; it's need for more adequate transportation facilities to reach the stores of wealth, and in a general way tells his listeners that Alaska is not at all land of snow and ice.

History of Alaska

In the Sixteenth century Russia's despotism drove many Cossacks and Russians from Russia in Europe and started them out across the Siberian wastes on a journey which was ul- timately to terminate in what is now Alaska These people discovered kamchatka. Peter the Great now became interested in what might become an American Russia. Two expeditions were started under the command of Vitus Boring, known as the first and second Kamchatka expeditions. The first expedition determined that America and Asia were separate continents; the sec ond Kamchatka expedition had as it's main objective the mainland of the American continent. The Rus sians made settlements all over Alaska and named Sitka as their capital. This is the oldest settlement upon the Pacific coast and was es- tablished in the year 1894.
 Wrangell, the town We represent, was founded by Count Zarembo of Russia who named it after Baron von Wrangell, Russian governor of Alaska at that time. Russia, need ing funds and fearing other nations, offered Alaska to the United States for little or nothing. This proposal was criticised in government circles and higher officials declared Alaska would be a white elephant on our hands. Nevertheless, the deal went through and the white elphant was bought for s7,200,000. This amount is more than doubled in Alaska's re- turns to the federal government each year, from the income tax alone.to say nothing of the resources
 October IS is known as Alaska Day. Upon this day in 1867 the Russian flag was lowered upon the staff at Baronoff castle in Sitka and the stars and stripes hoisted

Lumber Industry


 Lumber Industry
 In regard to the lumber industry in Alaska there are millions of feet of lumber which have been un- touched. There are several different kinds of lumber - spruce, hem lock, red and yellow cedar. We real alize that Washington has fine spruce timber but lumber experts say that Alaska spruce is unexcelled. For the past few years Alaska spruce has been shipped to the States, the Orient and Australia. Many feet of timber were shipped out during the war for use in the construction of airplanes, because the wood was so clear. The mill at Wrangell has also sent yellow cedar to Japan. A certain insect in Japan eats most wood but will not touch yellow cedar. For that reason Japan sends to Alaska for yellow ce- dar.
 At the present time the town of Wrangell is figuring on paper pulp mill which will cost about s7,000,000. This mill will be run by water power which is very inexpen sive The mill will have a capacity of 200 tons a day and will employ about 200 men, continuously. The government has guaranted this mill timber steadily for 35 years.
 The largest and most up-to-date sawmill in Alaska is located at WrangellIt affords work for 100 men all the year round. Its chief pro- duction consists of salmon cases for the canneries in Alaska. The mill has two tug boats and large scow which will deliver lumber to any point in Alaska. Several other such mills are being proposed in Alaska.
