" OLD GLORY":
"America For Americans"
IIA1SE KIND WITHOUT SOLICIT
ING
Ir one day Tacoma and. Pierc«
county exceeded their Red Cross
iota by $13,000. No soliciting hai
to be done. The donors did all the
'•vori.
That is as it should be. Why
cannot the people do as well in
every dm« that is launched muter
government sanction as long- as
t.'fce war continues?
If men and women have to leave
their work to go out and solicit
the business of the country is ham
pered to that extent.
T>e I'nlted States is teaming to
:ive. No longer is difficulty encoun
tered in raisin? funds for worthy
causes or in selling government
bunds.
The residents of Tacoma deserve
congratulations for raising- thei:
share of the Red' Cross fund sc
'iu cbiy, ami thej- should se© that
it \« to their interest to duplicate
the Derformance on similar occasloil
ia the future.
Tn* Red Cross drive has not end*
•i! here even though Tacoma'a al
lotment is more than rateeu.
There are many more iu the city
u no should give., and they have
the remainder of this vveelc and
u . until Monday night of next week
to make their donations.
them come forward like so
11 any of their fellow citizens have
already done and give their small
nart without being asked.
That is the new spirit in the na
tion, and a man feels mighty glad
i:i his heart when he obeys the im
pulse.
We've got a war to win. Food
is one of the important, of not the
MO.iT important, factor in winning
t it- world s buttle for freedom.
I'nless we come straight out
and declare ourselves on the side of
America, and the principles she is
lighting for, and £<o everythng in
our power wholeheartedly and
earnestfv that will bring victory,
we are just to that extent giving ait
ana ccm/ort to the enemy.
The woman who says "I can't eat
suosututes," "I don't know how to
i'oos them,' "They cost too much,'
"I'm too. busy to experiment with
substitute recipes," anil' wrho is in
different in manifesting interest la
the efforts of others to conserve
foci and who refuses, without
"ood cause, to attend food-saving
:neetlags, cannot escape classifioatio
among those individuals properly
coming within, the category of
slackers.
Seward Kunz of Juneau is appeal
ing to all natives to leave their
dog3 a* home this year when they
go fisnlng, thus saving many hun
dreds of (Jeer which at the present
time are too weak from their re
cent svere winter to get away from
thtm. It ig a fact that nativei dogs
kill hundreds or fine deer each
year, many times the half-wild can
ine being seen in herds of 40 to 50
after some unfortunat animal.

P0IA10JHEAD
Atcliorage, June 6.—Bread, two
thirds of the ingredieEta of which [
are potatoes, is sensed in the
houses and at the construction
camps of the government railroad.'
Th* biead, in. its wiiteness and
delicious taste, cannot ba diatlBSruJiS
ed from bread made entirely from
wi-eat flour.
The recipe was arrived at by
E. L. Wagner, cook at construction,
camp No. 83 on the Turn a gain Arm '
lint of the government railroad. He j
serve* the bread' early in May at j
a dinner taken at the camp, by Wil
liam Gerig, engineer in charge of I
tne Anchorage division, who was j
making an inspection trip. Mr. Gerlg ,
struck by the taste and appearance i
of the Dread, asked for the recipe !
for it. At his direction, the recipe |
was tried in the mess house at An
chorage and' proved bo successful
It was aiiapted there and at the |
lunch rcoaa of the Railroad Young
Men's Christian Association in An- J
chorage. Subsequently it w&s used
in a!j mess houses and camps of I
the railroad. j y j
The lecipe follows: i
"To 25 pounds of dry mashed po-1
tatoes, add four Magic yeast cakes,!
w: !cH have been placed in enough j
p'luke warm water to iMsintegrate
t em. Mix thoroughly with the po- j
tat(v«. Let stand for welve hours.
Add lard, sugar, salt, as usual, j
and knead into this enough white |
flour *c make a stiff dough. (Four
teen pounds of white flour should
be sufficient if the mindmuni amoun j
of moisture has been used in the
potatoes and yeast.) l^et rise to
douole its size, then knead into |
loaves. Let rise agafn and bake.
Th's yhould. make 36 pounds o£
bread.'*
MAY ADOPT; DECIMAL SYSTEM
England Seriously Considering Aban
doningilts Antiquated Currency In
Favor of Simplicity.
Knglurul may adopt the ilaclncal sys
tem for its currency. The agitation
for this reform appears to b»e- gaining
favor with the British people, and
among the Important agencies behind
the movement is the Associated^ Cham
her of Commerce of the United King
dom. For generations schoolboys\have
been learning this: Four fartiulngs
make one penny, twelve I peuce make
one shilling, twenty shflllitgs rnaket one
pound, twenty-one shillings stedlng
make one gulneu. twenty Shillings ster
ling make one sovereign.
Then there were the symbols to
learn—the capital "L" -with a short
line across the shank of the letter for
the Latin "llbri;" or pound; the little
"s" for shilling, or the Ijntln solldus;
Che Utile "d" for denarius, or penny,
and the "qr" for "quadxatis," or quar
ter of a penny, standing tor farthing,
though latterly . "far" came to stand
generally for farthing. All American
schoolboys have studied the1 table of
English money In that purt of their
arithmetic dealing with, "reduction,",
which Is "the changing of numbers,
either simple or compound, from one
denomination to another wttthout alter
ing their values." Manymen will prob
ably remember that as beys they
worked and labored over two .kinds of
"reduction," which were> called "reduc
tion descending and redaction •ascend
ing."
The decimalizing of English money
Is, of course. In the line of slajpUficv
tlon. Some of the financial powers
and papers are urging that parliament
take the matter under consideration.
j and It Is likely to come op ior official
' treatment and discussion at- any .time.
"It's a funny thing," said the Man to
his Wife the other night. "You used
to like cooking, as I teraember It.
Breaking a new maid In was always u
time of groat trial and tribulation. Bui
every night I come home to dinner yot
emerge from the kitchen almost at
though you hated to leave'the master
pieces you have evolved loug unougli
to greet your hard-working husband
properly. What's the reason?"
"Well." saiil the Wife of her Hus
band, "it's like tills. It's a sort o<
game. I may not ever see any lighting,
but I feel that out there in the kitchen
I liui helping France, England and. last
but not least, our own blessed boys.
£vel\v time I make a louf of rye bread
I feel like waving a flag. Every time
I make my allowance stretch a little
bit I feel as though I had won a battle.
And so 1 have. I've beaten old General
Highcostalivlng. Every time I squeeze
a War Savings stamp out of the food
allowance 1 feel that 1 personally have
fired a shot at the Bodies."
'•Good girl," and the Man patted his
Wife gently. "Since 1 can't go and we
have nft one t'o give, tl.e best we can
do is to play the game over here as
though we loved It."
NATURE SPARES
The Stricken Ito»e From Grief.
What a fortunate provision of nature
It Is. that deprives the rose of riemnl
suffering; for how poignant would be its
grief to discover. In the height of its
blooming glory, that a canker fed at Its
heart, and that Its beauty and fragrance
were doomed forever. Nature always
spares the suffering: she Is a veritable
store-house of pleasing rewards, for
those who seek her aiil. In the years
gone by falling hair and grayness havo
cast a gloom over the lives of thousands
of young women, but thanks to the in
vestigations of scientists the true causa
of hair destruction Is now known to be
a germ or parasite that burrows Into
the hair follicles. Newbro's Herplcido
absolutely destroys this germ, thus
permitting the hair to grow as na
ture intended. Sold by leading drug
