SKAGWAY TO MAKE CHOICE
(From tho Daily Alaska Dispatch
July 22)
"An election will be called short
ly for tho Skagway voters to decide
on the question of a licensed saloon
for the rest of 1517. This state
ment is made by J. F. Anderson,
a former Skagway saloon man, who
is ia Juneau in connection with
tie filing of an applicaton for a
ietail license at Skagway. John
R. Winn represents Anderson.
"Anderson informs the Dispatch
he never intended to make applica
tion for the license but the applica
tion wag madg by "Tuck' Flaherty,
who h;ia leased the Anderson pro
perty at okagway. Anderson fur
ther says the application of Fla
herty was juggled by a certain pro
hibition official of Skagway until
it failed to reach the attention of
Judge Jenuingvj in time for an
election to be held on the same
date as the otheT towns in the
first division.
Tlie following message to Judge
Jennings was sent about 10:15
a. m., ou the morning of July
16, oa« day previous to the elee
tioa called to b« held in other Al
askan towns.
Skagway, July 16, 1917.
Judge Jennings, Juneau.

The following reply from Judge

A PATRIOTIC SOUP
Hildegarde Hawthorne of the Vig- j
ilantes Gives Us the Recipe.
HOW FRENCH WOMEN MANAGE
Begin Your Wartime Economy Sen*!
bly by Starting a Pot-au-fou and
Treat Your Family to a Real Meal
While Helping Your Country Save.
Our hearts have been thrilled by the
visit of Tapa Joffro, with all he repre
sents of French heroism, courage and
steadfastness. Not one of us but
wants to help him win this war of
freedom. And as we look about for
ways to do so wo find that patriotism,
like many another good quality, begins
at home.
It can even begin In the soup pot!
Long before this year of probable
scarcity and hardship for all the world
the French have been known for their
economy, not parsimony, but strict and
sweet wisdom la refusing to wasto
whatever Is fit and good for human
consumption. To throw away half or
a quarter of a loaf at stale bread
would be thought a crime In France.
How often have American housewives
thrown away as much each week!
Ttiat stale loaf in France, cut Into
thick slices and toasted or browned In
the oven. Is laid in the bottom of soup
plates, and over it Is poured a gener
ous portion of the great national dish
of the country, pot-au-feu. A better or
more satisfying meal does not exist
And this pot-au-feu is made of scraps
and bits of food that with us are
thrown away. Let every housekeeper
in this couutry set up her own pot-au
feu this year as a patriotic act, as a
distinct assistance to Pupa Joffre and
his fighting countrymen, as a help to
England in her struggle against the
U boats as « prime effort to do her
bit behind our president.
The only requisite Is an earthenware
pot or pipkin of a size commensurate
with the family it is to feed. This
must have a tight fitting lid and find
its place on the range where It can
cook slowly and steadily, hour after
hour, all day long.
Into this pot. as a starter, goes about
two pounds of soup meat, scored deep
ly across and across; also any bones
that may be hanuy. Three' quarts of
water cover this meat. Let It come to
a bo!!, skim, then add pepper and salt
to taste and set it back closely covered
where it is to stay all day. To it add
an onion or two, peeled and sliced, a
potato or more cut up, slices and tops
from any vegetables you may be using,
a couple of tablespoonfuls of shredded
parsley, a little barley if you like, chick
en feet that have been parboiled and
scraped. necks of the same useful fowl
—in fact, any little odds and ends that
turn up during the day's cooking and
that would Ijo thrown away without
the haven of the pot-au-feu for their
■oiocnlent refuge.
\vnen evenuiif comes ibkp on ine
soul' and remove the lx>nes and sucli
pieces of vegetables as have been put
In only for flavor. Cut up the meat
small, and remove from It most of the
fat Put It buck lu the soup, aud
stand the whole where It will get thor
oughly chilled through the nl^'ht. In
the morning sltlm carefully from the
top the sheet of fat that will have ris
en. The soup should be thick and rich.
When you want to serve It heat it
quickly and pour over the toast In
each plate. Nothing else is required
to make a perfect lun-beou except a
little fruit as dessert, and for dinner
it will take the place of a roast. With
skill !n seasoning you will find it to bo
one of the most delicious dishes on
your menu.

bottom part, while the draw strings
and the guimpe are blue to match the
fabric. Tliis is a Christinas idea also.
Baby's Stockings.
After washing In the ordinary way
lay the stockings out flat and, begin
ning at the toe, roll them, stretching
them crosswise. Wring them as dry
as yon Can in this way, then unroll
them and hang them to dry. If treated
in this way they will not shrink and
the feet will be large enough.
To Make Good Whitewash.
To ten parts of freshly slaked lime add
one part of best hydraulic cement. Mix
well with salt water. This whitewash
when applied produces a clear white
that does cot rub or easily wash off.
