SAVING IN THE KITCHEN
New duties have been imposed by the war upon the
housewives of Seward and other cities in the great nation.,
In addition to the complete elimination of waste there is
the further obligation to reduce the consumption of vari
ous products in order that the men in the field and the Al
lies may be fed. Here arises the need of substitute food.
Many substitutes are familiar to the average housewife,
but others are unfamiliar. The cook books will now be
closely looked over as the missus wants to learn about sub
stitutes. and what is more important, to prepare, to pre
pare them so that they will be palatable to the men folk
and the children. Meat and wheat are the two things
mostly urged by the government but here in Alaska, meat
is necessary to the average man, woman and child. Hut
The Gateway is going to try and help out the housewives
who do not know the substitutions tor the many things
the government has asked be conserved. Any housewife
in Seward having recipes for substitute dishes of any kind,
or any housewife in the city having special recipes ot any
kind that will reduce the cost of living, who will send them
to The Gateway, will have them published. The Seward
merchants carry everything in the eating line and if there
are strange dishes, leave it to the merchants to tell you
that they have just what is wanted, for they have. 1 he
merchants will lie glad to co-operate with the housewives,
for they will perhaps he called upon to hold their orders
down on various commodities, sooner or later.
This is food pledge week and President Wilson, in a
recent proclamation said that the nation must practice
“utmost" self-denial. We do not know yet what is meant
by “utmost" self-denial but perhaps will before many
months. We have such an abundance of wholesome, nu
tritious foods than those on the list to be conserved, that j
we do not need to make such a very great sacrifice. But
let us do the service to the nation in the most cheerful
spirit; it is the best way.

The promise given Seward by the boys on the Saturn,
that they will give a big dance here sometime in Decern-j
her, was cheerful news to all classes. The boys on the
naval ship from top to bottom are a splendid lot of fel
iows and let it be assured them that the people of Seward
will take advantage of that dance, and no mistake.
Tomorrow the government will exercise control over
some twenty fundamental staple foods. The administra
tion will not disturb the normal and necessary activities
of business in taking over this control but will perform an

no manipulation or speculation in food is one of tin* func
tions the government will exercise. I nlair and unrea
dable profits will be eliminated and discriminatory and
deceptive and wasteful practices which in any way re
stricts supply or distribution must be stopped.
Hallowe’en comes but once a year, like many of the
other good things. Many an elderly man or woman will
sit back in their chairs tonight and remember the times
they had. Like good boys and good girls they went around
the next morning and assisted in lightening the labors ol
those involved in their mischievous pranks. “Those were
the good old days.”
The little get-together noonday luncheons of the
Chamber of Commerce should be better attended for
many reasons. Yesterday there were five prominent
guests present. Their grasp on the affairs of the city is
secured by the talk of the business men, representatives
of the professional and business life of Seward. Twice
as many men should be at the meetings as there were yes
terday and leave it to the committee to secure the proper
accommodations. One half hour or so at a-round-the
table will do all sorts of good for the city and the business
men themselves.
