Have You Examined Your Fruit
This Year? Small Pieces of
Tin Have Been Found In
Jar Rubber Bands0
Have you examined^he fruit .that
| you canned this year? Are you
sure that it has not |spoiled and
that air has not leaked into the
Jar and caused the fruit (to fer
ment?
From numerous sources in Skag
way we leara that fruit canuer this
year is spoiling, more so than usual,
and many have been | the causes ad
vanced. In the Bellingham Her
ald we see the reason, for | in a big
head Hue in the center of the page
we read: "Scheme To,Spoil Fruit
Is Laid to Alien Enemies." In the
lead of the story is the informa
tion inat certain Beiiinghaim wo
men have discovered pieces of ra
zor edged tin scattered through
out the rubber bands used to seal
jars, and that when the cap [is
screwed on the jar the tin cuts
the rubber, allowing air to enter
the)fruit and causing ferment. The
crime is laid at the door of the
crafty[and vicious Hun .
Inquiry in Skagjyay reveals the
news that grocers |,have received
numerous) complaints about the
spoiling of fruit, and1 that foreign
material, and principally tin, has
been found in the rubber bands for
fruit jars [sold in Skagway. The
more people we ask, the more we
find whose fruit is spoiling and
they suddenly (become conscious that
pieces of tin were in the rubber
bands which they used. It must
b§ the Germans!
Yet we are aware that a cer
tain uerentage of fruit spoils
every year; also a number of Skag
wayjfolk have been trying a new
canning process this year and more
fruit jthan usual has spoiled for
them; still we know that rubber
has (gone nay up in value but the
jar rubbers are sold forjthe same
price, 12 for 10 cents. We ask
thq question, can|you expect pure
rubber for that price?
Have you examined last year's
rubber bands, manufactured befon
tho war with, the United States
started? Did you ever notice the
particles of foreign jmaterial al
ways present in rubber bands?
Last of all, did you think [to ask
your grocer when the banda which
he is selling were made? ['Remem
ber we have only been at war
six months, and it is^barely pos
sible thOag rubbers which you are
using on your fruit jars were manu
factured before we were at war.
The Daily Alaskan has a pack
age) of the rubber bands under
question which we shall call exhi
bit A. f Anyone may see them and
anyone is welcome to melt the
bands in question and test for im
purities. You will probably find
them, but remember [if the rub
Jiers which you are|using have been
manufactured since last April you
are getting a fairly recent product;
it | manufactured before last Aprl,
there is no reason to be scared by
the German'story..

DID YOC GO FISHING IX YOl'lt
HACK YARD?
About two o'clock this afternoon
the tide was so ^igh. that men wore
■rowing j about in skiffs and dories
back of the White Pass ticket of
fices aud water had jmade its way
into the street ou|the north side
of the Dewey hotel and. next to the
cable office. The baseball grounds
was one big lake and the tennis
court looked as if it might be ja
dock foir large steamers. It is
said, that [a one time the tide in
Skagway was so high that it was
possible to us© small boats on
Broadway as (far north as 4th St.
The slope of the townsite is very
gradual, and a|slight increase in
the height of the tide permits the
water to spread over]a wide area.
GREATER CONSUMPTION OF
RICE
The increasingly important part
rice is playing in feeding the peo
ple of the United States is shown
in figures just compiled by the
United States Food Administration.
The production for 1914-15
amounted to 1,064,205,000 pounds,
with a per capita consumption of
11.34 pounds. This was increased
In the 1916-17 crop to 1,831,590,
000 pounds, with a per capita con
sumption of 17.33 pounds.
The large increase in consumption
during the past year undoubtedly
has direct relation to the high price
of potatoes and wheat.
The rice crop of India for the
past year (showed an. increase of
1,255,000 tons.
