FORGED MINE. CHECK BRINGS. HERE.

Object of a wild chase through down town streets last night, Will jam Streber, former Alaska Juneau mine employee, was this afternoon arraigned before U. s. Commis- sioner Felix Gray on a charge of forgery
 Shteber appeared at the mems clothing store of H. s. Graves last night about o'clock and presented what was apparently an Alaska Juneau mine payroll check for $123.82, made out to "Knort M. Eaber''
 Graves cashed the check and just as Streber was leaving Jack Likins, paymaster at the mine, entered the store, allegedly recognized the check as forgery and gave chase to the check casher. Likins said he chased Streber part way up a stairway from South Franklin street to Gas tineau Avenue, when Streber turn ed, kicked Likins in the chest and made his getaway. s.s8
 About 9 D. m., Streber was ar rested in front of St. Ann's hospital by Police Chief Kenneth Junge, Streber claimed today his mind was blank between the hours of D. m. and g p. m. yesterday.
 The check was made out on a printed payroll check form, similar to those used in paying off Alaska Juneau miners. Today a search of the room in a local roaming house where Streber lived revealed a typewriter, which was tentatively identified by Assistant District Att torney Lynn Gemmill as the mach inc on which the name of the fic- titious "Knort M. Faber' had been typed on the check.
 Gemmill also had in his posses sion this afternoon an ink pad and date stamp, which he believed were she ones used in stamping the date on the forged check The signature of J. A. Williams, mine superin- tendent, was apparently traced onto the forged check by use of a carbon paper, Gemmill stated.
 When arrested, Streber had only $45 in his possession and refused to explain what had happened to the balance of the money Graves had him in payment of the check.
 Warrant for Streber's arrest was signed by Graves.

RIGHT FOOD FOR
GOOD HEALTH
Your Health and Vitality De-
pends on Proper Food
and Right Amount
BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER

We still need to eat even when
the thermometer hits ninety de-
grees. A wise choice of food will
still include milk, vegetables, fruits,
eggs, and meat, but our ways of
cooking, like our clothes, should be
changed to suit the weather.
Simple methods of preparation
are usually most appealing to sum-
mer appetites. Plum pudding,
pumpkin and mince pies sound well
enough for winter desserts, but
fruit cup, berries, and melons are
usually much more popular hot
weather desserts-and also much
easier on the cook. Many diges-
tions. especially those of children
are not well able to take care of
rich, fried, or greasy foods. During
the hot days serve plenty of raw
fruits and vegetables. and boil,
steam, broil or bake those which
you do cook.
Food spoilage is quite a prblem
in the summer, especially in those
homes which do not have a refrig-
orator Serious illness may be
caused by the use of spoiled food,
particularly spoiled meat. Ground
or chopped meat should be used as
soon as possible after it is ground.
Many serious cases of food poison
ing are caused every year by the
use of spoiled meat or chopped
chicken.
Many families which do not have
refrigerators find it economical in
the summer to buy evaporated milk
in the size can which they can use

Immediately after it is opened.
Iced drinks and desserts appeal
to summer appetites, but scientists
tell US that their cooling effect is
more mental than physical. 1t is
not natural for the digestive tract
to be cooled as much as it is by
ice. so the reaction is an output of
heat by the body to raise itself to
a normal temperature. The end re-
suit of an excess of iced drinks
may actually be to make you hot
ter.
If you use milk, eggs, and cheese,
lean meat once a day it is generally
sufficient. Meats too high in pro-
tein may add to your discomfort
during not weather because protein
actually increases the heat gener-
ated in the body.
Plan your summer meals to be
easy to cook, colorful, and we'll bal
anced. Tn insure healthful meals
all summer use an abundance of
the high vitamin and minteral pro-
tective foods = milk. eggs. fresh
fruits and vegetables.

of nutmeg on top. or by mixing in
a spoonful of molasses or honey
It's the old story of variety and it
works with children as with grown
ups.
But there are other ways also to
get more milk into a child'S diet.
Cream soups use generous quanti-
ties. Make pea, asparagus, celery
or tomato into rich cream soups
by simply adding milk. Milk may
also be added to vegetable and
chicken soup instead of the more
usual water.
Children enjoy custards and milk
puddings, too. They like cream
sauces on vegetables, ice cream,
cottage cheese spread on biscuits,
lots of cream on cereals and over
cooked fruits. The milk in these
dishes all adds to the days milk
total. In cooking. many women pre-.
fer to use evaporated milk because
1T gives all the good milk solids
without the bulk of fresh milk.
Also, it is less expensive.
