Well over 200 different species
of herbs are collected from all
parts of the world for use in this
country. In great-grandmother's S
day herbs were an important item
on the carrying out of her cul-
mary enterprises. Now. as then,
herbs can add zest and interest to
all of our everyday dishes.
Most of the more common herbs
may be purchased at the corner
grocery in bottles, or grown on
your kitchen window sill or in a
small patch in your garden. For
the more unusual fresh herbs you
may have to resort to some fancy
herb growers in your neighbor-
hood.
The University of Rhode Island
Extension Service has suggested
ways of using herbs, and supplied
us with a number of interesting
recipes. Here is one that strikes
me as particularly good:

egg, slightly beaten, with l cup

SUGGESTION.
mrs. X. M. K, Washington

MRS. X. M. K, Washington
In reply to the reader who in
quired about obtaining goats
milk, I wonder if she wants this
for infant feeding? If so, I have
a suggestion which may be of
some help. When my baby was
a month old, I found she was
allergic to cows milk, so my
pediatrician advised me to give
her either goats milk or canned
soy bean milk. I tried the soy
bean milk which is canned in
liquid form by the company
which uses a jersey COW as its
chief advertisement. This prod
uct is hypo-allergenic, contains
the same nutrients as goats
milk. is less expensive. and can
be obtained at any drug store.
Incidentally my baby thrived SO
on soy bean milk, that she had
more than doubled her weight
at 3 months. It is equally
as good for allergic children,
adults and invalids who cannot
tolerate cows milk.
To the reader inquiring about
mangoes, we found them de-
licious if mashed and poured
over vanilla ice cream. They
keep we'll if peeled, sliced and
stored in a deep freeze.

Modern
Marriage
In Romance
Take Nothinu
For Granted
BY DR.. Paul Popenoe

When girl goes with a young
man steadily for three years, she
has a right to at least hope he
intends the association to result
in marriage. But if she's perfectly
willing and still the young man
never even mentions the subject.
she also has a right to suspect
there is something rotten in her
romance, as well as in Denmark.
Norma wants me to tell her what
in the world her swain is thinking
about. This I can't do. but can
speculate. But, first, let Norma
tell her sad tale: During a large
part of three years I have been
going steady with this fellow. He
has never even mentioned mar
riage. I and my friends have
taken it for granted that we would
marry eventually. But must ad-
NIT I've been having some dread
full doubts during the last few
months. Is this going on forever?
What's the matter with him?
What's the matter with me, DR..
Popenoe?"
One of the first rules Of the
game of romance, Norma. is to
take nothing for granted. Pardon
my curiosity. but what sort Of a
romance is this? What do you do
and what do you talk about?
When two young people go to-
gether for three years, forsaking
other attachments, and without
talk of marriage, indeed, as the
song says. What a strange
romance this isl"
Seriously, something obviously
is holding your young man IN
check, Norma, and the sooner you
do some analyzing of your situ-
alton, the better for you.
If you find he's held back by
the fear he can't support wife.
your cue is to suggest casually
that you expect to work after mar
riage and that two salaries IN q
home are better than one.
If he is tied to mons apron
strings, your prospect is not
bright. beware mommy-boyso
But if you want to take chance.
nevertheless, I suggest you try
initiating his mothers virtues.
Mother him. You can't beat nom
at her own game, if she is bent on
holding on to him. but you'll have
better chance if you become a
sort of second mother to him
weaning him away from the first.
as it were. But be sure you want
the sort of man you have to do
this to win.
Maybe he's in love with himself
and has no capacity for loving
anyone else. Please Norma, not
that! If this is the case, run for
the nearest exit.
Now I'm going to give you a
bit of advice that every woman
will do we'll to heed: Set a dead
line, time limit for him to come
to the point and prove he isn't
just playing. Give him. at the
most, three months longer. Three
years is long enough (too long.
in fact) to hang around a blind
alley. Girls can become merely
a habit to some types of men.
giving them a comfortable sort Of
association with no obligations.
legal or financial. Don't be a
patsy for one of these.
Now is the time to find out
whether you really want this
young man. Norma. Maybe he's
become just a habit with you,
possibly a bad habit. Find out
right now. Send for my little
booklet, This Way to Marriage"
You may have it for a dime and
a self-addressed stamped enve-
lope.
If you decide this man is not
for you, that the romance il
hopeless, walk out on him.

Mrs. B. C. A.: Try to find the

MRS. NJ. E. M, BetheSd1)
I found some years ago that
a powder containing sodium
fluoride and borax make the
little ants that sometimes in
wade our kitchens vanish in a
hurry. Just sprinkle a little
around on shelves, and along
the doorsill where they prob
ably come in. I got the small
can at a drug store. There is
nothing printed on the can that
would indicate that it would
repel ants but it works and
that is all that counts.
And I have even better news
for all the housewives who are
bothered by weevils in flour,
cereal, etc. I sprinkled my cup
board shelves with this same
powder and it. seems to have
the same results as with ants.
I can hardly believe it myself.
but it is worth trying.
MRS. Y. S. p, Mt. Rdinier)
I was troubled with red ants
twice but not in recent years.
Quite a long time ago I read in
the RICH that the best thing to
keep these pests away was to
drop a drop or two Of oil of
peppermint where they congre-
gated and this would keep them
away. I also read in RICH to
use powdered cloves under your
shelf paper and constantly keep
powdered cloves on my shelves.
One can obtain a very small
amount of oil of peppermint
from the drug store and your
grocer has ground cloves. Hope
this helps!

CLOTHES DRYER?
SUMMER DESSERT.

mrs. /. X. H., TdkomG Park
Some time back, I saw a re-
port of a new type of clothes
dryer. It was illustrted, but I
didn't make note of where it
was made. don't know if it is
generally for purchasing yet,
but I am axious to know more
about it. It was presumably
metal, white and something like
a low cabinet. There was a
heater in the lid, which lifted,
and inside the cabinet were bars
on which to hang the clothes. I
think. it was made somewhere in
the Midwest.

easy, delicious summer dessert,

When it has set, whip it, but not

ALL BIDS FOR NEW
 HOSPITAL REJECTED; TO REOPEN BIDDING

All bids for construction of the new Valley Presbyterian Hospital were rejected early this week by members of the Valley Hospital Association Board. The bidding will be re-opened in the very near future, according to Valley Hos pital Manager O. K. Kincaid.
 Three bids were opened by Kin caid in the presence of hospital board members at 4 pm. last Thursday. The presence of about 20 other individuals at the bid opening underlined the unusual interest the bid figures held for local people, members of the Yu- kon Presbytery, and contractors representatives.
 The $643,3O8 base bid of the Patti Mcdonald Construction Company was low bid. Only about $500 higher was the Valle. Som mers Construction Company bid of $643,832. A third bid by the Hoppert Company was $688,80
 Announcement of these figures was accompanied by a gradual sickening of expression on faces of most of those present. Estimat- ed cost of the long-planned 27- bed hospital had been more than $150,000 less than the lowest bid. Bid specifications had called for no moveable equipment, only that which had to be installed.
 Plans drawn up by Anchorage Architect Edwin Crittenden had been approved in their primary and final stages by Alaska De- partment of Health, U. s. Public Health Servce, and Dr. T. C.. Mowery, superintendent of con- struction for the Presbyterian Board of National Missions, who was present at the bid-opening. taken place during the past few

 We don't want unrestricted fishing in Knik Arm" Stock said. "We want only to be able to take fish for home use on the days when the commercial fishing sea- son is open-only two days week allowing a total of about 12 hours of fishing at high tide"
 The amount of fish caught for home use would be negligible. Added to the limit of days as pro- posed, Stock observed, is the limited availibity of nets and boats. Since these items are neces- sary for taking fish out of Knik Arm, several families would have to take turns using those avail able. There could be no great mass of people fishing at any one time. The need for a boat and net, it was felt, would discourage the great mass of population in the Anchorage area. Having the personal use fishing days coincide with the open commercial fish ing days would eliminate the problem of commercial fishermen encroaching on personal use fish ing grounds.

Bartlett Explains Congressional Ire Over EkIufna Project

In spite of less than 24 hours notice 28 Valley people turned out Saturday for Chamber of Com merce luncheon meeting to hear Delegate E. L. Bartlett.
 Bartlett was in Palmer Satur- day as a result of an invitation to meet with Matanuska Valley Sportsmen to help on their per sonal use fishing proposal. He was accompanied by Seton H. Thomp- son, who is in charge of the Alas ka branch of the Bureau of Fish cries.
 In order to leave. time for a fruitful question and answer period, the Alaska Delegate to Congress limited his talk to the issues involved in the Congress sional investigation of the Eklut- na Project. He explained that the project had been approved by Congress under a $20 million plus authorization in line with the estimate of the Bureau of Recla- nation as presented during the 1850 session. When the Bureau came back this year to ask for additional authorization to bring the total up to $35 million, cleo ton year Congress was aroused. It was pointed out that the tunnel contract had been let for SIT mill lion when the original estimate called for $11 million. It was also hinted that the Bureau had all ready let contracts totalling amounts in excess of the original authorization.

Personal Use Salmon Fishing Proposal Reasonable, Officials Agree too Late

At a meeting held Saturday morning in the Matanuska Valley Sportsmen's club rooms Delegate E. L. Bartlett and Seton H. Thompson of Washington, D. C., chief of the Alaska branch, Bureau of Fisheries, agreed that the Sportsmen's proposal regard ing personal use fishing in Knik Arm on the days open to com- mercial fishing on Cook Inlet was reasonable one. This agree ment, however, comes too late to relax the ban on red salmon fish ing this year.
 Officers and a special commit tee of the Sportsmen's Association presented the proposal which had been suggested previously at a Fish and Wildlife Service hear ing held at Valley Theater on July 8, a hearing which was at tended by 400 Valley residents and two FWS agents.
 Thompson had not heard the specific proposal and confessed that it was entirely different from what he and his associates had understood in Washington. He was under the impression that the Sportsmen wanted unrestrict- ed salmon fishing in the streams tributary to the Arm.
 Presenting the case for the Sportsmen and the people of the Valley was Clair Stock. He told Thompson and Delegate Bartlett that the Sportsmen had tried for three years to get the streams
