ALASKA XATIVK (ilKL
TO M ltSK HEK PEOPLE
"My name? Just Miss Barton. I'm
from Alaska. Some day I’m going
back to nurse my people.’’
That’s about all a quiet, dark
I eyed girl of 20 or so has told the
nurses at the Lutheran hospital in
the 14 months she has been with
them.
Somewhere in Alaska, in a little
coast village, her people are waiting
for Miss Barton to come back.
Meanwhile the girl, one of the
best nurses in the Lutheran training
school, is preparing herself to re
turn.
‘‘My first name? I haven’t anv,
think. I’ve always been just Miss
Barton,” she said.
"Why shall I return to my own
Country? She paused for a moment,
|then raised her dark eyes. ’’Be
puse I think they need me. ’
Years ago, Miss Barton says, she
I was taken from Alaska by a Mich
igan missionary. Eight years ago
she came to Ohio. Next year she'll
be in the senior class of the nurses'
school.
“And then—Alaska again," says
Miss liarton.—Cleveland Plain

MINT (.111 l.l, OPENS UNDER
FAVORABLE CIRCUMSTANCES
I. E. Henslar, of the Mint Grill,
has made his word good, and the
new place that he opened to the
public Thursday has all of the ap
pearances necessary to be called a
second Gerald’s.
The Mint Grill is located in tire
new Alaska building, and is an at
tractive place to eat, and what is
still more important, the cuisine is
excellent. The Mint supports real
linen and silver, and is in every
way fitted up In the manner of a
metropolitan cafe. The refrigerator
deserves special mention, being air
cooled by the means ^f a syphon
box, and presents an appetizing ap
pearance. Charles Cameron, late of
Gerald's and Rippy's, of Seattle, has
been retained as chef for the day,
and Fred Hartwige, formerly con
nected with the Thomson's White
Lunches at Vancouver, is the night
man. Mr. Hensler will run a strict
ly first class place, giving good ser
vice, and guarantees the best of
coffee, and has started off under par
ticularly favorable auspices.

DELICACIES THAT YOU
WOULD EXJOY PARTAKING OF
The Swiss people are noted for
their adaptability in handling deli
catessen stores and have usually
made a success of the business.
John Fenner, who came from Swit
zerland originally, has opened a deli
catessen store in the new Alaska
building that is especially attractive
with a show case displaying the
various appetizing roasts, salads,
cold boiled ham and tongue. Later
Mr. Fenner expects to treat the
shopkeepers and clerks to a steam
table noonday luncheon, consisting
of the palatable delicacies common
to such places.
His line of importel frankfurters,
olives, caviar, sardines, salami, to
gether with the staple articles of
this country, are alSo carried by Mr.
Fenner, and he is making a specialty
of imported tomato conserva, an
choves, spaghetti and macaroni, and
without Roman or Parmesan cheese
no Italian dish of spaghetti is per
fect. A delicatessen store in An
chorage is one more step toward
the metropolitan stage that this city
is rapidly approaching.
