Southern Pacific
R. R. Man Here I
Carl Taylor, traveling freight and
passenger agent of the Southern Pa
cific railway, is in the city stopping at
the Hotel Parsons. This is Mr. Tay
lor’s first trip to Anchorage and he
will be in the city a week or ten days
in the interest of his company. Mr.
Taylor said yesterday that the big
railroads of the states were rapidly
realizing the importance of keeping in
touch with Alaska travel and his visit
to Anchorage is in this connection.
Mr. Taylor has headquarters at Seat
tle and gave out some astounding fig
ures in regard to the number of tour
ists who have passed through Seattle
this summer en route to Alaska and
Anchorage. “This travel is only in
its infancy,” said Mr. Taylor, “and
from all indications Anchorage may
expect a much larger number of
tourists next season, in fact for the
next four or five seasons and this will
continue until the effects of the great
European war have worn off, when
the American people will flock to Eu
rope to witness the ravages and dam
ages caused by the greatest war in
history.”
However, the advertisement this
country has received this season will
do untold good and the tourists mak
ing the trip will tell the people of the
outside of the wonderful scenery Alas
ka offers. “I have traveled extensive
ly,” Mr. Taylor continued, “but never
in my experience have I witnessed or
traveled a more beautiful scenic
route than the trip to Anchorage. I
am only sorry that it is impossible for
me to make a trip into the country
immediately surrounding your de
lightful city, but shall certainly do so
at seine future time.”
Mr. Taylor's expressions of his im
pressions of Anchorage were flatter
ing and in the new Southern Pacific
folder calling the public’s attention
to points of interest in America, An-1
chorage will undoubtedly get more;
than ordinary mention.
ENGINEER JOHN ZUG t
RETURNS FROM TRIP t
jc
John Zug, engineer for the Alaska 1
Road commission, has returned from 1
a personal inspection of conditions in <
townships 17 and 18. This trip was t
made, Mr. Zug said, with the idea of *
acquainting himself with the develop- t
ment of the farming section so he can f
get a first-hand idea of what improve
ments to suggest to the commission, c
Mr. Zug said that a special appropri- 1
ation will be asked for at the next I
session and the amount of future road t
improvements in this section depend- ,
ed upon the size of the appropriation.
The idea of the commission is to make
the improvements where they will do
the most good and at the same time
serve the greatest number of people.
There is no question but that this part
of Alaska will come in for a fair
share of road work next year and ev
ery effort will be made by the Cham
berof Commerce to keep this import
ant issue before Colonel Richardson
and the road commission.
ROYAL CAFE, ON 4TH
AVE., OPENS FOR BUSINESS
The Royal Cafe, just east of the
! Montana Pool Hall and under the
management of George Athens and
George Papadopolas opened its doors
for patronage this afternoon.
This new cafe has been fitted up in
an attractive manner and will no
doubt enjoy a good trade, having one
of the most accomplished men in the
country enydoyed as chef. In the rear
of the cafe George Rarlos has estab
lished a coffee and tea room which is
daily frequented by a large number of
people. This room is equipped with
tables and is used as a meeting and
resting place by men of many nation
alities and is really the Bohemian
place of Anchorage.
A. W. Mylroie left on this morning’s
train for a visit up the line and will
visit the Doherty coal mine on this
trip. Mr. Mylroie is associated with
the Anchorage Supply company and
] will remain in Anchorage several
i weeks before returning to Seattle.

The Value of Dried Fruits.
When winter comes and cuts us off
from fresh fruit supplies, it is well
lo know that the hygienic value of
fried fruits is not commonly realized.
The two important factors to con
sider in choosing foods to sustain the
sody are—adequate nutrition and the
:onservation of the vital forces.
In both fresh and dried fruits we
fnd perfect nutrition, for in them na
:ure brings together the elements ne
:essary to give heat, energy and en
trance. The sun, while ripening the
fruit, prepares the levulose and glu
:ose (fruit or grape sugar) for imme
iiate assimilation, so that the very
east expenditure of nerve force is re
juired in the digestion of fruits in
their natural state. In using sugai
to supply heat to the body, we must
iiscriminate between the sugar in,
t'ruits and sugar in its refined condi
;ion. The unnecessary use of the lat
ter is responsible for many diseases!
)f the digestive organs, for it is ir.erc
y a food principal, acting as a stimu
ant and becoming an irritant, weak
Jning to the bodily organism, while
the sugar as it exists in fruits, asso
:iated with the other elements brought
together by nature makes a complete
:ood.
It is better, however, to use the
iarker dried fruits, such as raisins,
jlack figs, prunes and olives. Sul
ihurous acid is used in the drying of
the lighter fruits, apples, apricots,
peaches, pears, sultana raisins, to ex
pedite the process, prevent fermenta
tion, conceal decay and to produce
I the clear, yellow color. The use of
this acid is deleterious, renders the
food less palatable and healthful and
retards assimilation. Sulphur is pure
ly a drug, eventually impoverishing
the blood and its use should be avoid
ed. Try simmering your fruit in the
oven—it improves the flavor.
Stewed Prunes, Figs and Raisins:
Soak together over night, one-half
pound prunes, one-half pound figs, *
one-half cup raisins. Simmer gently
in juices. It is not necessary to add
sugar to these fruits. Serve with
cream, or as a luncheon dish with cot
tage cheese.
Dried Fruit Salad: Dice four figs,
four large prunes, one-half cup seeded
raisins, two apples, two oranges. Add
jiice of one lemon. Make one-half cup
jof thin syrup and pour over. A sprink
ling of ruts and whipped cream will
improve.
Prune Custard: Two cups milk,
two eggs, two tablespoons sugar, va
jnilla flavoring, pulp of one-half pound
of well cooked prunes, pinch of salt.
Boil or bake as desired.
Sandwich Filling: Mash one ba
nana, ten dates, six walnuts, or ten
peanuts cut fine. Beat together until
creamy. This is delicious with brown
bread.
Apricots and Rice: Mash some apu^
ricots well and sweeten with sugar
syrup or honey. Pour over well-cook
ed rice and serve.
