According to P. .J Vandewall,
Federal Food Administrator for
Stag way, the 50-50 plan for selling
an egual amount of substitutes has
beec. abandoned in the First Divi
sion of Alaska for the present, the
reason being the shortage of sub
stitute fiours and cereals in the
wholesale houses of the northwest.
However dealers aTe instructed to
sell 1 lb. of substitutes for every
3 1's. of wheat flour, making the
suostitute 25 percent instead of
50 per cent. I ! ;f

Truo Friendchip a Mirror.
True friendship is self love at sec- j
ond hand, where. oh in n flattering mir
ror, we may see our virtues m::^uilied j
and our errors softened and where we '
may fancy our opinion of ourselves i
confirmed by an impartial anil faith
ful witness. He (of all the world) j
creeps the closest in our bosoms, into
our favor and esteem, who thinks of
us most nearly ns we do ourselves.
Such a one Is indeed the pattern of a
friend, another self, uud our gratitude
for the blessing is as sincere ns it is
hollow In most other cas.-s. This is
one reason why entire friendship is I
scarcely to be found, except In love.— .
