President
ANTITRUST MESSAGE THURSDAY.
The President expects to send to Con-
gress OH Thursday his so-called anti
trust message" which. as has been told
In these dispatches. will deal primarily
with the subject of federal incorporation.
Mr.. Taft and his legal advisers are con-
WINGED that such incorporation is essen
tial to the legal and adequate develop
ment of the commerce of the country.
They are satisfied that the federal gov
ernment enjoys the power TO create COR
porations, that the power to create in
eritably includes the power to protect,
and that the Supreme Court has clearly
affirmed the proposition that a federal
corporation can be subjected to state
taxation by and within the limitations
of the consent of Congress. They also
believe that effective federal control of
corporations created by the national
government and engaged in interstate
eVltable corollary adequate protection of
such corporations from state regulation
even in the performance of their intra-
state functions. In view of what may
be termed the progressiveness of the
views of the administration, the Presi-
dents message on the subject is awaited
with the utmost interest
The President also completed the
greater portion of his message on the
conservation of natural resources. which
lie expects to send to Congress the day

state commerce message. If, as he
hopes, the latter is ready for submission

USE KITCHEN SLATE
HoMELY MEMORANDUM OILS
HOUSEHOLD MACHINERY.
Useful in Medum-Sized Family-Pro-
gram for the Week Can Be
Mapped Out and May Save
You Many Worries.

The kitchen slate is a time saver
one is downtown all day, may be run
| with the greatest economy of time,
J food and worry. The family of two is
not family at all in the true sense
of the word which groups the old and
| the young and children in household
where management is real problem.
To manage the foods, the shelter, the
work and the play of a household, say,
of husband, wife and three children,
requires considerable executive abil-
ity. The woman who can do it is a
general in the field If she can en-
ploy a helper who supplements her
labor, so much the better; but the
average family has difficulty in find
ing a helper and the laundry, the
baking and general cleaning is done
by different persons and all but the
latter out of the house
The family kitchen slate serves it's
purpose to keep the machinery run
ming regularly. A strong housewife
may write it down in her memory but
how about those days when she is not
at home, and when she is tired and
her brain refuses to act? The pro-
gram of the weeks work should be
mapped out on the slate, and odd
notes of needs and marketing jotted
on the other side. Just by glancing at
the slate it will be known when to ex-
pect the laundryman, when an after
noon is free, when the fish man comes,
ETC.
The family of two has its puzzle in
dispensing variety at the table and
having nothing go to waste. The
kitchen slate, gaining a bill of fare,
will keep its possibilities before the
eyes of the woman who likes a roast
now and then, and feels life barren
without fowl The cooking of left
overs" Is an extravaganza of time and
energy. There should not be any left
overs" to any extent. Yet roast will
last more than single meal and a
can Of corn or tomatoes is double por-
ton for two hearty appetites. An ex-
ecutive mind will decide what shall
follow the first meal, and figuring it
all out on the slate will dismiss the
details from her consideration.
