Mallette) .Mrs. Judfan Heath, president of th< National League of American House wives, has reached recognition as ar authority of good Judgment in th< sphere of household economics. Ar address of hers to a recent conferonci of the trades that deal in foods hai brought to light the value of packagi goods to the housewife. As Mrs Heath considers the subject in th< interests of home makers and wltt 1 an eye upon the reduction of house hold expenses, her suggestions maj repay examination. She sees a lining of silver in the dark cloud of the increase of the cosl ! of living. She maintains that its hlgb cost has taught the American house wife her responsibility and will show her real opportunity in all that per tains to the home and Its manage' ment. The importance of this teach Ing may be gnaged. financially, from the fact that statisticians calculate that housekeepers spend 90-">i7<- of the income of the American people. The removal of many domestic Industries to the manufactory has changed the home-maker from a producer to a consumer. She has had to learn to purchase as finished products the , commodities which she herself for merly produced from raw materials, ! as preserves from fruit. Her business is now to control these commercialized home industries through knowing about them and in sisting that the products are what they claim to be and what they should be. The manufacturer's label on the foods he has made Is the housewife's only guarantee for their quality, quantity standardization, pur ity and even economy. The value of a grading the products has become so acknowledged that apples, oranges, poultry and other foods formerly sold in bulk are now trademnrked. and this trademark stands for known quality. The housewife, so Mrs. Heath says, realizes that sanitarinoss during manufacture favors goodness or quality in tao products, ami mat i sanitary delivery of the goods In or iginal packages so that no hand touches the goods before they are de livered to the home, conduces to the ! household health.. Another feature that now makes the purchase of branded products true economy, consists in stamping the net weight on the packages. Quantity as well as quality is guaranteed, and the purchaser enjoys the assurance . that she is receiving all that she pays for. Other economies arises from the saving of space and labor to the dealer through the smallness of the packages and from the fact that pack- j age goods do not fluctuate In price as, ' do goods in bulk.

Plate, I in the promotion of lode properties In Southeastern Alaska, arrived from Victoria last night on the Princess Maquinna and Is staying at the Oc cidental. Mr. Pinder witnessed the recent an ti-German rl^ts in Victoria In which a great deal of property was destroyed The affair started, he states, by an unknown drummer placing the cut oi a submarine above the picture of the Mauratania in the Blanchard hotel on the night of the arrival of the news of the Lusitania disaster. The Blanchard hotel is kept hv a German born resident. "Some British soldiers spied the of fending picture of the submarine and j demanded that it be removed," saidj. Mr. Pinder. "They scratched the bar | in their demonstrations, precipitating j i ; a fight which ended in the hotel11 ! being demolished. I j- "A mob had gathered by this time < and they proceeded to wreak von- s | geance on any German born business- ] i man's property that lay in their howl- , j ing course. Four hundred extra < mounted police were hastily rushed to s the scene but excitement ran so high that they were powerless to handle i the vast mob. t "Many of those whacked over the j: head by policemen were not in the | mob from choice, but because they n could not extricate themselves. They t. were crowded to the front by the j surging mob." t CURIOUS AND IN- / FORMING MESSAGE I. J. Sliarrlck. pioneer Juneau jew- j eler. has received the following tak- \ en from an Illinois country newspa- '' per. which is interesting in two par- ' ticulars: It gives a new method of beating the censor, and it confirms 1 the allegations that food supplies are r scarce in some parts of Germany at " least. The article appears under tho 1 heading. "A Peculiar Message." and ' Is from the Metamora. III., Herald, and is as follows: "A matter of four words, written beneath a postage stamp, received by William Mau. of near Washburn irom his brother in Germany tells more S1 eloquently than a page of ^writing, a r< story of conditions wrought by the 11 war in the Fatherland. Incidentally.1 P the manner in which this portentous ; tabloid of war news was smuggled past the censors of the mail shows' a remarkable resourcefulness and it would indicate that the writer desired ai his brother to know the truth. ' o1 Mr. Mau, of, Washburn is an uncle pi of the Snyder brothers of the Meta- m mora bank, to whom he told tho b; story. Recently he received a letter "rom his brother In Germany. In the etter the writer tells his brother that since he is a collector of stamps to jrescrve the stamp on the enclosing mvel'ope. Mr. Mau thought this statement and request strange, since te had never been a collector of stamps and found written beneath, heso four, words: "We are actually starving." Mr. Mau was never more surprised n his life. He had known that his srotker was well-to-do and it was lard for him to believe the nstound ng words he had uncovered, but the nethod employed by his brother in rying to elude censorship convinces dm of tho truthfulness of the nsser ion. ? ? ?? ? 1RCTIC BROTHERHOOD MEETING SUNDAY NIGHT The new Arctic Brotherhood quar ers on tho third floor of the Gold tein building, which have been un ergoing repairs and changes since he adjournment of tho Legislature, avo progressed so far that tho main oom will likely be completed by to lorrow night.

This dog consists of a small box- " shaped like the animal with two rather prominent eyes In his head. The eyes are made of the metal sel enium. This mechanical dog moves his head wound until he sees a light; when ho at once fixes his eyes in tently upon the light toward which ho moves rapidly. It is only neces sary for the dog's master to carry around an electric light, a pocket search light, or something of the kind to cause the dog to follow him. The insides of this dog, made entirely by students of Highland Park college, consists of wires, motors and other electrical elements. If this mechani cal dog loses his master, he stands still and moves his head around until ho discovers the light again. S. P. Sanford. representing the M. J. B.
