Alaska Bone Dry Law
introduced In House

Alaska will 60 bone dry once
again if a bill introduced in the
House of Representatives Friday
passes the Territorial Legislature.
The measure, introduced by Rep
resentatives Martin. Mccormick and
Smith, would prohibit the manu-
faeture or sale Of intoxicating liquor
in the Territory Of Alaska.
This surprising legislative move
carries more seriousness than would
appear on the surface. Representa-
tive Martin, who was prepared to
introduce the measure alone. was
asked by Mccormick and Smith at
the last moment to permit their
signatures as well.
This bill is going TO pass the
House easily Martin said We've
got so many liquor bills here, no.
body knows what the score is.
You've got bills that say YOU have
to drink standing up and some that
you have to drink sitting down.
Wires and letters and petitions are
flooding the Legislature asking us
to do this and to do that. Let's go
back to the beginning and start
over again"
Martin added, They say. take the
liquor away from the Indian-he
cant handle it. Well, the white man
can't either"
In Martins opinion, other liquor
measures now pending are "doomed"
and that the bone dry legislation is
the only answer"

 will taking capsules of natural vitamin A, which I think you said is made as g concentrate of cod liver oil, cause a person to gain gain weight? I'd like to try 1t, but I don't want to get fat. (Miss A. T. K.)
 Answer-No vitamin or combina- ton of yitamins will cause one to gain weight if one is normal in weight or overweight. Taking vita mins to supplement the diet rather makes it easier for overweight in. dividuals to reduce. Addition of extra vitamins B-complex and D to the ordinary diet helps to build up pep, vite, tone, youth and to keep down poundage, or rather stacker flesh, bulk, girth. As for the prevention of 'colds," as you call the cri, the evi- dence on the effect of vitamin A is less convincing. in my opinion, than is the evidence on the effect of vitamins B-complex and D.

 It is Fair year, so right here we have an idea already provided. l suggest the back yard for this. In about thirty minutes, clever fingers can construct a pasteboard peril sphere and a trylon with the aid of cardboard and big balloon blown to bursting.

 Once inside the grounds" things begin to happen. Concessions will provide the fun. Children love to play with paper money, and g box of it now will come in handy.
 There can be a booth for selling" paper caps, or gold crowns cut from paper. Any kind of dress up idea will go over big with the small guests.
 From a tent a gipsy dressed in a cretonne curtain and bandana can tell fortunes or give out little cards. Have somebody guess weights and the bathroom scales will provide more fun. A small prize goes to the nearest guesser.

Be Sure of Etiquette When
 Asked to Dine

Just the chance Mary's longed for-dinner at the sophisticated Barretts'. But oh dear, here she is blithely splitting a fruit seed into her spoonl
 No doubt she'll swallow her glass of water at gulp, prop her knife and fork like oars against the edge of her plate-and then wonder why the smart crowd never asks her againl
 Of course such manners are of- fensive. But simple to check up, Mary-learn that you dispose of seed or fish done by covering your mouth with your cupped hand, dropping the object in 1t. Sip your glass of water slowly-lay your knife and fork neatly across your plate.
 And no need to get flustered when your dessert plate appears bearing the formal finger bowl, dolly, spoon and fork. Just place the spoon on the table to the right of the plate, fork to the left. Set the finger bowl and dolly on the table just above the fork.
 Avoid the little errors that of- fend. Our 32-page booklet gives correct usage for formal dinners, tells how to eat unusual foods, what silver to use. when fingers are per- missible. Explains etiquette for res- taurants, clubs, teas and buffet par ties.

The extract, juice or broth may carry. the appetizing or stimulat- ing flavor of soluble extractive other than the protein and fat, but can carry practically none of the actual nutritive value of the meat.

 For the mature figure for the otherwise slender girl whose hips thighs fairly large, and for dgni- fled, matrony women, the dressmaker suit with fuish skirt is recommended The skirt may be pleated all around with the pleats stitched down. Or if circular, it may be subtly 1ared moderately or aggeratedly There godet treatments which are interesting, too.

Modern Menus

Can you answer all the important questions about peas, asparagus, baby beets, tomatoes and other garden vegetables ready to be carl- ned? Peas and beans, like practi- cally all non-acid vegetables but tomatoes, are non-acid foods. Non- acid foods, if canned, should be pro- cessed in a steam pressure canner. It is unsafe to can non-acid vege- tables in a water bath or even in an oven canner of steam canner without pressure, because the tenn perature in them never gets above the boiling point of water, neces- sary to kill certain germs that may produce toxin in the food, &C., cording to specialists of the Bu- reau of Home Economics in Wash ington.
 For most vegetables, pint or quart glass jars and No. 2 or 3 tin cans are the best sizes for home can- ming. Pint jars and No. cans are best for tender, green peas because they will become overcooked and mushy with the longer processing needed for larger containers. If corn is canned in quart jars or No. 3 cans it should be put up whole grain style-cut from the cob without scraping.
 SUIT CAN TO
 VEGETABLE
 Practically all vegetables that may be canned in glass may be canned also in tin. Different types of cans have been developed for certain vegetables. Special C-enamel cans are best for corn. succotash, lima and red kidney beans. For red-col- ored vegetables--beets and pimientos and for pumpkin and squash. use R-enamel cans. These vegetables. if canned in plain tin, may react chemically with the metal. Picked beets should be canned in glass, say the government experts.
 It is best to buy new rubber rings every year. The experts do not rec ommend the canning at home of vegetables of the cabbage family. such as broccoli, brussels sprouts, ttrnips, caulifiower or kohlrahi. These vegetables contain sulphur | compounds that break down during | processing and give the food Q dis- aareeahIe taste en1 odor.

decide to go on liquid diet for twenty-four hours, then simply cut down on everything for several weeks or until you are more slender. EAT LIGHTLY
 AT BREAKFAST
 Unless your doctor advises other wise, drink fruit juices, clear soups and vegetables juices for one entire day. From then on, have only fruit, a hot beverage and one thin slice of lightly buttered toast for break fast each day. Luncheon may con- sist of clear soup, a huge, green salad, two or three small slices of Melba toast, fruit for dessert and g beverage.
 If you eat lightly at breakfast and lunch, there's no reason why you cannot have one portion of every thing on the dinner menu. No sec- ond he1pings, however-and no des- sert until you have eaten your salad like a good little girl.
 It's a mistake, of course, to go on any fad or starvation diet. The best way to lose 8 few pounds is simply to eat tiny portions of foods which you know to be fattening.

ABOUT CAUORTEs

The heat, energy, fuel, nutritive or sustaining value of any food Is measured by the calorie, that is, the amount of heat necessary to raise the temperature of a gram of water from IS to l6 degrees Centigrade. By this same unit metalbolism is measured that is. the work done, the energy used by the body in a given period, recorded in the equivalent of heat produced and heat dissipated by the living body in the perfor- nance of functions.
 The number of calories in the ounce or pound of any food wholly determines whether the food is nourishing, strengthening, fatten- ing. If there are approximately 100 calories in the ounce or 1900 cal- ories in the pound, as in bread. cake, cereals, sugars. candies, such foods are two to four times as nu- tritious, strengthening or fattening as. foods containing from 400 to 800 calories in the pound, such as pota- to (440), baked beans (600), cottage
