IMPORTANT PINCH OF SALT
Seemingly There Are Few Dishes 20
Which II viii Not impart an E1-
ceiieas Flavor.

Few housewives, especially The lit.
tie Mrs. Newlyweds. fully appreciate
the value Of the pinch OF salt. or
course, everyone uses salt on meats,
and In soups, entrees, vegetables,
sauces, etc., but although the cook
books do not always include it in re-
cipes for cakes, pies and desserts gen
orally, there is almost nothing from
the most dainty gelatine and whipped
cream dessert to bread and butter pud-
ding that Is not greatly improved by
1t. You probably would not dream Of
putting It in a pot of tea, but If you
try it you will find that 1t brings out
the aroma of the tea, making it actual
ly fragrant by neutralizing the fat
ness Of the water. This will be found
especially so in localities where the
water is hard or has a mineral taste.
1t should always be used in coffee and
cocoa. It imparts mellow taste to
coffee and makes the cocoa seem very
much richer.
The delicate favoring Of all custard
desserts Is enhanced by the magic
pinch of salt. Put it in pies Of all
kinds. Use plenty of salt in the pie
crust where only lard is used for
shortening. Meringues are improved,
by it.
At preserving time remember the
pinch Of salt, whether you are making,
preserves, jelly or marmalade. 1t
simply puts the water where it be-
longs-in the background, and the
fruit flavor stands out preemtnent-
These are few of the out of ordi-
nary, yet everyday, uses of pinch Of

JANUARY DISBURSEMENT
OF STATE SCHOOL MONEY
of Public instruction
Has Prepared an Interesting Article
TELLS About School Money.

RENO. New. Feb. 1O.-Prof.
John Edward Bray, superintendent
Of public instruction for Nevada,
has prepared an interesting article
on the state distributive school
fund, which will appear in the
Nevada School Journal in its next
issue. The article follows:
MANY inquiries have been re-
ceiyed by the superintendent of
public instruction as to the January,
1912. state distributive school fund.
Many expected that it would be
much larger, as the state school
tax had been raised from cents
on the 500 to 10 cents.
II is well to note here that only
one-half Of the counties paid in
their taxes on the basis of 10 cents
for the state school fund; and that,
in the case of some counties that
made the levy, complications on 9TH
.er matters prevented full adjust
ment in the state controllers Office.
In addition to this, a considerable
amount in interest due on bonds
of other states, in which schoo
moneys are invested, was not re-
eeiYed at the time for making the
controllers report to the state su.
perintendent, and so could mot &c
out TO the schools.
There was $11I42S.S0 apportion

governor protested to the American
consul and the Petrels commander
against the landing of marines.
President Bonilla was informed
and ordered that detachments OF
armed troops Immediately be placed
at Laguna, one mile south, and
Chameleon, 2S miles south of Puer-
TO Cortez, with instructions TO stop
all trains. When this order was
given several banana trains were
out and its enforcement meant that
several ships in the harbor would
not be able to get cargoes.
WASHINGTON, Feb 10.-The

that without notice to this govern

critics. The gunboat Petrol was sent
to Puerto Cortez and sailors were
landed. The property was not seiz-
ed. The only purpose of landing
the bluejaekets was to guard against
violence. Thr question OF title to
the property in dispute is to be
settled through federal and diplo-
matte methods.
An arrangement for an adjust
ment of the dispute between the
concessionaires and the Honduran
government was provided for in a
contract held by the Morgan syndi-
cate, but this has been abandoned
and the issue remains open.

IN METHOD
TO PREVENT The
SPREAD Of MEASLES
CLAIMED THAT MANY PARENTS
ARE NOT MAKING EFFORT TO
PREVENT DISEASE.

RENO, New, Feb 10.-A number
of heads of families are making OBJ
iections to the laxity displayed by
many parents in not exercising any
effort to prevent the spread of
measles. where one member Of the
family is suffering from the mall
ady.
None of those who made this re-
quest of the Gazette favored
strict quarantine, such as the board
of health enforces in the case of
more serious contagious and infec-
tious diseases, but they feel that
parents should prevent their chill
dren from spreading the germs of
the malady among other children
so long as any member of the
family may be within the contagion
period.
Children are frequently permitted
to leave the bedside of a sick
brother or sister and go out and
mingle with their playmates to
whom they often communicate the
disease. The schools are enforcing
strict rule TO prevent contagion
there, but the Gazette's informants
believe that the spread of measles
is due entirely to the carelessness
of parents in this regard

PUBLIC Meeting
ON School BONDS
LAST EVENING

Last evening at o'clock there
assembled at the office of Judge
H. H. Atkinson a goodly number of
business men, lawyers, bankers, eiti-
zens, ladies', and the school trus-
tees to hear a report of the trustees
and why the bond election had been
called for the purpose of building
a commodious and sanitary school
building and equipment in the town
of Tonopah at a cost of $4,000.
The trustees, by facts and figures
compiled, showed who were the
heavy taxpayers in the district, the
mining companies, the amount paid
last year by them, the business
men and the citizen householder. 1t
was then shown the town tax rate
of last year, and by the building
of the new school house the tax
rate for the town of Tonopah would
be three cents less on the hum
dred dollars than that Of last year.
These figures are not official, but
the district attorney, county COM
missioners, county officials and the
school board honestly believe that
the rate will not be ONE CENT
more than the year OF 1911, but
will be THREE CENTS less.

parent and taxpayer in the district
to visit the public schools of this
