TIMELY TOPICS.
By H. WELLESLEY FLETCHER
O-0
In the interval between shows at a
moving picture theatre, one is liable
to hear much in the way of conversa
tion which goes on around him. Coop
ed up in the middle of a row, seats
on each side and in front and behind
all occupied, retreat is cut off and one
is forced to be a listener-in on all va
rieties of subjects ranging from the
potato crop to that “funny looking
thing which Mrs. Wiggins calls a
hat.”
It was no exception to the rule the
other evening at a local theatre. I
was wedged in between a candy-eat
ing soldier and a giggling school girl,
a row of Slavonians behind, and two
women and a man in front. It was
the people in front who talked the
loudest in this particular instance, and
snatches of their conversation were
bound to reach me in spite of my ef
forts to concentrate on the advertis
ing slides which an energetic opera
tor was jerking on and off the screen
in time with the music.
“Oh George,” said the woman with
the fur turban, “why do they keep
the Labor Temple so terribly warm?”
“No warmer than any other build
ing, I guess,” asserted the man with
the double chin on the back of his
neck.
“It must be,” insisted the fur tur
ban. “I looked in through the door
this afternoon and saw a lot of men
going around almost undressed. It
must be dreadfully hot when the
workmen have to strip down like
that.”
“Yes, I noticed it, too,” said the
woman with the green and white cap.
“Haw, haw, haw!” The fat neck
guffawed with unbounded mirth.
“Why that was the fellows practicing
basketball!” And he chuckled some
more.
“Oh.” exclaimed the fur turban.
“How do they play basketball?” in
quired the green and white can.
“Huh ? . Why-er—that is—” Fat
neck was stumped for a few seconds,
but his man’s ready wit came to his
rescue. “Oh, they just toss a ball
around and try to tak; it away from
each other.”
“Is that all?” asked the fur tur
ban. She was evidently his wife.
“What is the object of the game?”
asked the green and white cap. She
had no scruples about embarrassing a
fellow.
“Well, they toss the ball into the
net to score.” Fat neck was getting
red.
“What kind of a net?”
“Oh, it’s just like a fish landing
net. They have one stuck up at each
end of the hall and kick the ball into
it.”
“Nothing much to that,” avowed
fur turban.
“No there isn’t much to it. 1
used to play myself.” He was be
ginning to swell up now.
“Did you ever score?” asked the
green and white cap.
“Well, I was considered one of the
best half backs on the team. I could
kick the ball into the net from any
part of the field.” Red neck was tak
ing advantage of the ignorance of the
ladies.
“How fine.” The fur turban was
proud of her husband. But I could
stand it no longer. I leaned over and
tapped him on the shoulder.
“Excuse me,” I said in my best par
lor tones, “I overheard your conver
sation, and seeing that you are inter
ested in basketball I though I would
introduce myself. I am the local rep
resentative of the International Lea
gue for the Promotion of Indoor
Sports for Ladies, and would deem
it a great honor if you would be my
guests at the basketball game Sun
day.”
“We-er-you see—” Fat neck was
cornered.
“Oh, how lovely,” said fur turban
and green and white cap in chorus.
“The pleasure is all mine,” I as
sured them. So they agreed.* And
now I am living in joyous anticipation
of seeing Fat Neck trying to explain
his way out next Sunday. And if
there are any more people in Anchor
age who are as well versed on the
game I hope they will show up at the
Labor Temple and get educated.
TALKEETNA, Alaska, Jan. 14.—
(Special)—The heaviest continual
snow storm ceased this morning after
three clays of steady snowing, leaving
about five feet on the level. Nearly
all the birch trees were broken by
the weight of snow on their branches.
The Nagley merchandise store, also
Carrol & Co. received a consignment
of goods over the trail.
The mail from outside arrived in
Talkeetna on time last Friday, bring
ing in both first class and the second
class, and also The Anchorage Daily
Times.
The government dog team and
Supt. Benriett with Lee Fraser as
driver came in from Dead Horse Hill,
breaking trail for the mail.
The Nicoli tribe of the Talkeetna
Indians with their many children are
comfortably settled in their new log
building recntly completed % the
government. They are busily engag
ed making mukluks, fur caps, mocca
sins, etc., for the people.
Berg and Wolff are getting out logs
preparatory to the sawing season
to furnish lumber for the houses that
will be built here early in the spring.
Talkeetna will probably be the
busiest town on the new road next
season. Having such facilities as the
three rivers, Susitna, Shulitna and
Talkeetna, each going into a different j
territory, and the new government
railroad going through the Broad
Pass and Iron creek copper country,
all this and more that Talkeetna will
be the busy center.
The marriage of Marshal Healy I
and Miss Nessitt came as a surprise ;
to everyone and as rumor has it, “the ;
wedding bells will ring again” soon
for some popular young people here.
Mr. A1 Berg’s new residence on j
Avenue A and 3rd street is complete
and ready for Mrs. Berg after her
stay at the hospital at Dead Horsg. 1
A load of fresh beef, turkeys and
chickens, came in Saturday for the
residents, Which was appreciated by ;
everyone here.

CHILDREN AND MILK.
No single article of food has a!
greater food value than milk and no
other article of food is so subject to i
rapid deterioration on account of
conditions under which it is produced !
or kept." On account of its potential '
value as a tissue builder it is the
most suitable food for children that
can be secured, because it is easily
digested. The digestive process of a
child under one year is so simple that
an easily digested food must be pro
vided. They cannot masticate their
food, therefore there is no provision
made for digesting those kinds of food
that require mastication. There is no
ptyalin in the saliva to convert starch
to sugar in the mouth, therefore it is
not right to feed an infant crackers
or potatoes; it only adds to the stom
ach contents an indigestible mass to
cause further trouble.
They cannot digest meat because
their gastric juice excretion is not de
signed to digest such foods.
Milk should consist of not less than
3.25 per cent of fat, 8.75 per cent of
solids not fat, 1.5 per cent of pro
teids and water.
This kind of a food receives its first
and most important action in the
stomach, but the final separation of
the various elements and their ab
sorption is done in the bowel.
Milk contains numerous bacteria,
some of which are harmful, depending
on whether they come from dirt on
the cow, from the cow’s udder, from
dirty milk pail or from the milker’s
nanci. it is possioie ior organisms ol
specific diseases to be carried in milk,
but it is very difficult to isolate them.
Good milk should not contain over
100,000 bacteria per cubic centimeter.
Bacteria grow very rapidly in milk,
hence it is very important that it be
cooled rapidly, immediately after
milking, to 50 or 60 degrees Fahren
heit, and kept at that temperature un
til delivered to the consumer, and it
is just as important to keep it cool
after it reaches your house. Many
times milk is less carefully handled
after it reaches the consumer than be
fore. There should be no visible dirt
in the bottom of the bottle after
standing. Simply hold the bottle up
so you can see the bottom without
tipping it, after assuring yourself the
bottom is clean on the outside.
Pasteurization is often resorted to
in order to kill most of the bacteria
that exist in raw milk. This consists
n heating the milk to 155 degrees
Fahrenheit and holding it there for
approximately 50 minutes. This is
jest done after the several bottles of
nilk are prepared for the day’s feed
ng for the baby. The bottles of pre
jared milk are placed in a kettle of
.vater, on a saucer to keep them oil'
he bottom of the kettle, and the wat
;r brought to a boil, then set back on
;he stove and allowed to stand half
in hour. If pasteurized in one vessel
a thermometer should be used and the
temperature held at 155 degrees for
10 minutes. This destroys most of the
jacteria, but it does not remove the
lirt. Therefore clean methods of
nilking are better than pasteurization
'or producing milk free from bacteria.'
