"America For Americans"
COST OF LIVING HltiH
When the high cost of living has
become so high that it seeras as
though you could not live any long
er, buy a pound of rice and live
high.
The "very best'' costs not over
15 cents a pouad. With its com
parative cheapness and good food
value, and the many ways it can
be served, rice is hard to beat.
A pound is practically two cups
of uncooked rice, boil it and your
stock goes up about 400 per cent,
a good investment on your money,
the two cups of unboiled rice be
comes eight cups of boiled rice and
that will go a long way towards
n^ljung to feed a hungry family in
an appetizing and nourishing way.
l'HI) HALL OF SHAME
"Not all Americans can win a ]
niche in the Hal! of Fame, but all
ran keep out of the Hall of Shame
that bears the names of profiteers
and hoarders, of wasters, of both
sexes and all ages."—Youth's Com
panion.
Swayed by a Bell's Tonea.
The Church of St. NVaisc. In the city
of l; helms. Ia surrvunded with pillar*
When a ceriulu l>elt iu the tower is
rung the top of one pillar always
sna.vs to the extent of seven Inches on
ea'-h side, although the base Is iuimov
aMe, and the stoues are so flrmly ce
tncnted as to 9eem like a solid piece of
masonry. Notwithstanding that eaeb
of Uie four liells Is about tlie same dis
tance from the trembling pillar none
of the others has the slightest effect
JD It.
Good Points of the Arabe.
Travelers ascribe to the Arabs many
virtues, says a bulletin of the National
Geographic so-lety. They are a proud
and earnest i>eoi>le, sharp witted, cou
rageous. temperate and hospitable, but
when wrouged are bloodthirsty and
feagefuL One of their most striking
'•hnructeristii s Is their great love for
poetry. The children ot' the nomads
as well as the offspring of the fellahs
are early taught to lead, write aud
calculate, as might be expected of the
descendants of that ruie which gave
ua our Arabic numerals.
Much Wood Flour Used.
More thau 20.0C0 tous of wood Hour,
valued at $300,000, ate usi.il annually
lu tlie United States in two widely
different Industries, the manufacture
of dynamite and the manufacture of
inlaid linoleum. Wood flour is also
used in making composition flooring,
oatmeal paper aud in several other in
dustries. It forms one of the means
by which the huge waste product of
cur lumber mills is beginning to hud
some better meat's of disposal than the
burner.—Tree T.iik.
T.vo Cood Reasona.
Two men ou t';e street car were talk
lng about a third man.
"Ever get Jiiu out to visit you?" the
first man asked.
"Xojie, never can,M was the reply.
"Beeu tryliT for eight years to get him
out, and he Jtist ke»>ps promisin' and
protnisin', but he never eomes. Always
says when he's a wot kin' he can't af
tord to lay off to come, and says when
lie ain't u-workin" he can't afford to
take his sa> ill's to come ou, so I've
about give up gcltiu" u vLit or.t'u Jiiu."

mln NOTES
Atlin, (Special Correspondence,)—
June 20.—The ft rat mail to arrive
this season by water was on June
11th, this being the first mail for
over one month. A, Dumber of
passengers took advantage of the
first steamer to return to this sec
tion of the north, many of whom
will bo engaged in operating the
several mining properties of this
locality.
Owing to the exceedingly warm
weather of the past tew days the
snow on the mountains bas melted
very rapidly and as a result the
rivers and creeks of this district
are all swollen, many of them over*
flowing their banks. This has caus
ed the suspension of operations at
many of the mines for tbe time b
lng, as the pits ia many Instances
were drowned out. Wben the water
has assumed its normal state the
work will immediately be resumed.
J. M. Ruffner and wife returned
on the first boat. Mr. Ruffner is
an old resident of thla district and
has been In the mining business for
a number of years. He has been
absent f&r more than two years, but
upon his return be said that Atlin
looks good to him, and has al
ways looked that way, and
it is now good enough for
him. He has put a gang
of men to work on his property
on Spruce creek, and as soon as
the weather conditions will permit,
and he can secure the men he will
increase his force.
A farewell dan^e was given in
Atlin in honor of the boys who are
signed up for military duty and who
were sent out on one of the last
ooata for Camp Willows, where they
will begia military training for
overseas duty.
James Kershaw returned ou the
last steamer from a thirty day, visit
to the coast. Jimmy was not jeelin
up to his usual standard of good
health and made the tris out for a
breath of salt air and change of
scene. He went as far down the
coast as Juneau, and returns feeling
very fit.
The wedding of Miss Margaret
Donald and Mr. Charles Miller will
take place In this city on June 26th.
A forest fire, presumably caused
by carelessly dropping a lighted
cigar or match in the dry under
brush, has resulted in the destruc
tion of about 100 acres of timber,
and doing other damage. .Thig is
the first forest fire of the season
which has been reported.
Master Edward Cartmel, while
playing a few days ago, fell from a
wagon and sprained tig ankle.
Owing to the scarcity of men in
this district many of the mines
which, have been operating in this
vicinit» have shut down and from
50 to 100 men could find employ
men in the various places.
Capt. Hawthorne, who went to
the coast last fall returned a short
time ago much improved in health.
George St. Clair returned on the
last boat from a trip to the out
side where he has been receiving
medical treatment for the past
several -weeks. He is much improved
"With the intention of getting out
timber for use in the mines here,
Dick Dunlap left a few days ago for
Tafcu arm -where he will immediate
ly get out logs and start his saw
mill located there.
Billy Garnes, a. brother of Chas.
Games of Discover}', arrived la At
lin from oversea* service and will
remain here for the summer visiting
with his brother.
Word was rceeived in the last
mail that Dan Holland had had his
leg broken and he sustained other
(■■juries in an accident while en
gaged in his work.
James Clark, who went out to
the coast last winter has returned
much improved la health. Mr.
Clark visited in Vancouver and
other coast cities while absent from
home.
Capt. James Alexander and wife
were visitors in town last week,
having com® over from the Cap
tain's mines on Taku Arm.
The White Pass Inn in this city
lia® been opened for the season and
is now in. readiness for the sum
mer's tourist trade. The employes
ill arrived on the first boat and no
time was lost in getting the popu-,
lar resort ready for the accommoda
tion of its guests.
Yoa are invited to visit Kdler
Bros ice cream kitchen at an; time.
It is always in % strictly sanitary
iud orflerly condition. .Thos® who

Only a "Slip ef a Bay.
Oue night while Mme. Sarah Bern
hardt and hiT company were playing
"L'Alglon" In Montreal a very angry
man left the auditorium and clamored
at the box office for the return of his
money. The manager naturally want
ed to know why.
"I paid to see Mice. Bernhardt act,"
the man stormed, "and she's not act
ing."
"Mme. Bernhardt Is acting." replied
the astonished manager.
"No, she is not," retorted the mau.
"She does not take the part of the em
press, and the only other characters are
a man and the slip of a hoy who plays
the younif c!u!:e."
It took over s > long to convince him
that the "clip i f a boy" was Bernhardt
herself.--All Around Matrasslne.
His Magnificent Memory.
"Children," snucaked the ancient
mau, "I c au remember Just as well ad
If It was yesterday when I was a boy
ind beefsteak and potatyes were so
cheap that we had 'em at our house
most even- day nnd were always per
mitted to eat all we wanted of 'em.
Oh, 1 tell ye I've pot n wonderful—hea,
hee— memory!"
Later the children said among them
»elves: "Truly. Uncle Gulliver has an
amazing memory. He can recollect
things that could not possibly have
happeued."—Kansas City Star.

order to dixpo.x' of the case in seme
reasonable time.—Pittsburgh Press.
Stage Name.
"Yes, I am going on the stage."
"Well, 1 hope you succeed in making
it name for yourself."
"That has already been attended to.
my dear. 1 picket! a really tteautiful

A Real Defender.
"Big" brother is reasonably good
about defending little sister, but the
real serious trouble comes when "big"
sister sees some one Imposing'on little
brother.—Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
Stingy!
Omar-Miss Almce certainly has a
lovely complexion, hasn't she? Hasel
—Yes; ami the stingy thing won't tell
cac what brand she uses.—Exchange.

soda fountain. Have you tried It?
