Warranted Nonshrlnkable.

Xworklngman came home in triumph one evening with a red flannel ahirt, which he had bought at a bargain, and moreover, |t was guaranteed not to shrink. In due course the shirt was sent and returned from the wash, and the following morning the workingman put it on. Just as he had done so ids wife entered the .room. “Ullo, ’Arty,” she exclaimed, “where did you get that new de?"

Declared to Be Not Only the Moat Nutritious but the Very Cheapest If the housewife only knew it salmon is the cheapest and at the same time most nutritious food that can be eat- . en. This Is the assertion of James T. Barron of Portland, Ore., a correspondent of the Washington Post states. According to Mr. Barron, salmon contains more nutriment than beef, or quite as much at any rate, and it is far cheaper. “Salmon is one of the few articles of food that is better when canned than when eaten fresh. Canned, the salmon betains all the oil, whereas If cooked fresh much of the oil is wasted. The cheapness of salmon makes ft a desirable food when one Is trying to solve the hi gh cost of living problem. Red salmon to higher in price than the pink salmon, but in fact the latter is better. “The importance of the Alaskan fisheries Is demonstrated by the increasing output of the canneries. There are something like 100 packers in Alaska, and the pack has Increased since 1907 from 2,171,741 cases to 4,916,630, which is the estimated pack of salmon for the year 1916. Compared with the Puget Sound pack, which in 1916 was estimated to be 710,318, Alaska looms up larged and this comparison shows the great development of the Alaskan fisheries. It is only a question of time when the Alaskan fisheries will exceed in value all other products of the territory. This may appear remarkable to th? mind of the average Easterner, whose imagination regarding Alaska is that #nly gold is produced there. The fact is that Alaska Is a wonderful country. It Is cold there at times, but I have seen it colder right here in Washington on occasion; at any rate, it appeared to me colder. “The approximate value of the Alaska pack for last year has been estimated to. be $23,803,399, whije that of Puget Sound is estimated at $3,675,561.”
