S9,OOO,OOO Spent
 By State Last Year
Disbursements Are S78S, 900
 More Than Receipts

An abstract from the state treas urer's report for the fiscal year end ing September 30, 1911, gives the usual table showing receipts and expendi- lures for a decade. The receipts fo1 the past year were $8,229, ,653. .98 against $8,054, 941.06 for the previous year. The receipts were more than twice the 1906-7 receipts (s4,062, ST. .46) and more than two and one-half times the receipts for the year which ended in 1902 $3,275, ,112.23). It should, how ever, be said in this connection, that the figures of receipts for the past few years represent more than the actual revenues of the state, the normal in- come being increased by temporary loans, as follows: 1909, $400,000; 1910 $1,715,000; 1911, s1,150,OO0 In the re- ceipts of the last three years are also follows: 1909, $1,00O,000; 1910, s1,020,- GOO; 1911, s1,044,0O0. The steam rail- roads contributed $1, 337, ,787.H to the receipts of the past year and the treasury received $1,125, ,051,N in inner itance taxes.
 The expenditures for the year end ing September 30, 1911, were $9,017.- 92471. an excess of s7S8, ,27073 over the receipts, it being the fourth conseeu- tive year in which the receipts have fallen behind the expenditures The states expenditures are now about three times the amount at the begin ming of the ten-year period, the ex- penses for the year 1901-2 having been $3,113,687.57. The figures of expendi- ture of recent years, it should be ex- plained, are swollen by the amounts paid to wipe out temporary loans and to retire bonds. Last year S74,000 was paid to retire bonds and temporary loans of $1,415,000 were paid, while there were temporary loans of $200, ,0Ot paid in 1908-9 and $500, ,000 in 1909-10
 The states funded debt at the close of the past year was $3,064, 100, it's civil list funds (cash) in the treasury $376,- 576.27, and the net debt $3,S37 ,523. .73 against $3,144,25S at the close of the previous year and s1,091, ,402.10 at the close of the first year of the ten-yea1 period.

SUCCESS OF COLD STORAGE
Is No Guarantee of the Quality O
 Cold Storage Food

In Chicago recently a banquet was given for which the menu was pre- pared from food which had been fn cold storage for many months. The object of the banquet was to prove that food, even though stored for a long time, is both healthful and pal atable It only proved that some food may be paIatable and harmless after such storage No one has ever denied that, when properly handled and sur rounded by the necessary conditions, food can be kept in cold storage in a fairly acceptable condition for com paratively long periods of time. If found some acceptable food from among the millions of dollars worth of ancient materials in the various warehouses, the cold storage of food products as business would have been terminated long ago on account of financial failure. Cold storage is a good thing It has been used, in a crude way, in country cellars and spring houses for generations, says The Journal of the American Medical as- sociation It's modern development has added immensely to the possibili- ties of our tables, but like many other good things, it is frightfully abused. In order to get good results, one must have good material to store, and must be able to prevent harmful changes during storage. The condemnation by government authorities of millions of pounds of cold storage food shows the defects of the actual system in at least one respect. It is only by the constant vigilance of health officials that greater and more dangerous abuses are prevented. The fact that the banuueters found the food palat- able and survived is beside the point. If a banquet such as this had been made an anjunct to a campaign for preventing the abuse of cold storage methods, for limiting them to their legitimate field and for perfecting the methods of handling food products, more would have been accomplished by the cold storage people in over coming the prejudice of the public and in popularizing cold storage goods.

As the confirmed bachelor, Thos. Beach who hates children with a capital H., MT Wilson has a part with the best opportunities he has ever had for the display of his manifold gifts and per- sonality.
