How to Use stale Bread.
A penny saved 10

Benjamin Franklin.

The modern housekeeper is likely to
buy loaf of fresh bread every day
at the bakers. but our grandmothers
made their bread at home and used
up every scrap of one baking before
baking day came around again.
Here are some of the ingenious ways
in which one grandmother disguised
stale bread so that the most pernick-
ETY. child she had would not know 1t
from a brand new dish.
Cut squares of very hard bread two
inches thick. steam over boiling water
for twenty minutes and serve hot.
with butter and maple strip.
Or cut the bread in one inch squares.
put in a colander and dash cold wa
ter over them. Then fry the squares
in butter until they are delicate
brown. Break two eggs over them.
cook three minutes and serve imme-
diately. This is particularly good for
breakfast
Another way is to make our old
friend. French or Spanish toast. which
is good for breakfast or luncheon. Cut
rather thick slices of bread, dip in
milk. then in beaten egg. and Try
delicate brown Serve this very hot
and, if possible, with maple strip.
If you happen to have whole stale
loaf left over, here is fascinating
way to use it, Cut off all the crust,
put it on tin and set in the oven
to dry and brown When it Is light
golden brown lay 1t on the molding
board and crush fine Then cut the
crustless loaf into pieces one inch
thick and two or three inches long
Beat two eggs very light. add two cup
fuls of sweet milk and a pinch OF salt.
dip the pieces OF bread in the mix
ture. roll in the fine breadcrumbs and
drop them into hot lard. When they
are fried a nice brown put them on
hot dish and sprinkle thickly with
sugar and little fine cinnamon.
A really delicious pudding can be
made in the following manner: Take
rather thick slices Of bread from which
the crust is trimmed. Butter these
slices on both sides Heat can OF
rather tart red or purple plums, put
layer of fruit in the bottom OF pud-
ding dish. then a layer Of bread and
butter and continue until the dish Is
filed. Set it in the oven for five min
utes to get heated through. Then re-
move it from the oven. cover with
plate, put weight on it and set where
it will become thoroughly cold. Eat
1t with cream and sugar. Tart cher
res may be used in place Of plums or
blackberries, and there should be plen-
ty of juice, so that the bread may be
saturated

Hints
How to Mako "Old" Lace.
A penny saved 10
. penny earned
Benjamin Franklin.

Once more we nave reached the
point in the revolution Of fashion
when laces. especially the real ones,
must have the old look now required
by the costumers in making up lace
trimmed gowns. There is way to
make new lace look old, which, so far
as color is concerned, cannot be told
from the priceless heirlooms.
All that is needed is a newspaper.
Strips Of newspaper are cut a tr1fe
wider than the lace is TO be tinted. To
these the edges of the lace are careful
ly sewed. A roll Of newspapers about
the size Of an ordinary mailing tube
is then made, and the lace trimmed
newspaper strips are then rolled
around this smoothly. The whole is
then sealed and laid away In the
course Of few weeks or months the
lace will have acquired the most per-
feet ''old" color A hundred years
couldn't produce any better results
than the newspaper properly put on.

THE STATE WILL Be
SHORT 100000

The sharp increase in state taxed
from $5,Sl9.449 last year to $s,937,-
525, with the prospect that even this
will fall 5000, 900 short of meeting the
of the last legislature
is causing comment from all parts of
the state.
The new levy, both in total amount
md in rate. which is 8.8l millson each
dollar of valuation, sets new high
record for the state.
The deficit of 100000 promises to
come in the general fund levy. This
was fixed at three mills, the statu-
tory limit, but in the haste to make
appropriations the legislature appar-
emily paid no attention to raising the
necessary revenues.
The board of equalization left the
school levy at 1.9 mills. The depart
ment of education desired levy of
two mills or more but on account of
the sharp increases in other lines
provided by legislative action. the
board felt this was not the right time
for raise all along the line.
A comparison with the taxes levied
in othe ryears shows steady I'm
crease in state expenses eve rsince
1894, but no time has the increase
been so remarkable as between 1872
and 1918

By recent decision of the Supreme court of Kan
sas it has been held that tie city of Atchison
pay an issue of $267 900 of bonds
BUSINESS which are in the hands of outsiders
The court ruled that municipal
ty had more right to repudiate its debts than
private individual. No question Of the legality of
the issue was made, but it shown that the city
owed more than it could afford to pay without an
injurious increase in taxation 1t was held by The
court that the situation of the city gave it right
to swindle investors who trusted it, Of course the
decision of the Kansas court right. At the
same time the Atchson case is not All unusual one.
Cities are pledeing prosperity beyond reason and
the politicians who govern them INSCRIPTIONS
enough to encourage them in the belief that the
investor will foot the bill 1t will be bad day for
the public borrower when the courts fail to protect
the investor in his rights.
To show you something of the immensely of the mail
order business. weprint herewith an interview with
the postmaster of Chicago by
JUST THINK one of the leading trade jour
nails of the east. People,
rule like to have their patronage solicited and the
mail order houses do not overlook this very fact
Mailing of fall catalogues by mail order houses in
Chicago started Yesterday. Postmaster Campbell
stated that it was the first installment of about
nine thousand tons of such mail which would leave
Chicago before September l. The mail order es-
Establishments have all submitted estimates of the
amount of extra mailing which they expect to do.
TO gain an idea of how much mail this is, said
the postmaster. forty-fve trains of ten cars each
will be required to carry it out of the city, each car
containing twenty tons. Counting seventy feet to
a car the train would cover a distance of over six
miles il placed end to end the railroad track.
Now, il the business houses-retai establishments
of the cty-were persistent advertisers, they could
and would head off much of the business that goes
to mail order houses. This is our opinion and we
believe we are right in our conclusions

TAX LEVY LOOMS

Owing to the extravaganza of the
last Republican legislature the levy
for the state purposes for 1918 will
be e.s1 mills, the highest levy in
the history of the state.
The general fund levy is placed at
8 mills, the highest allowed by law.

termined by legislative appropria-
tons. as was also the public high
way levy. is LIS mills, while he

Notwithsta nding this high levy, the
amount that it and the other
sources of revenue will produce for
the general fund during the bicn-

appropriations to be met BY approx
mately s635.0OO.

such things. Perhaps you think it

stay long in the presence of the blackguaid, atter

nothing elevating in their presence, and people of

HOW TO AVOID ACCIDENTS
WITH KEROSENE LAMPS.

The two great and very real

and TO these two causes are at
tributed most lamp accidents.

safer than those of glass or chi
M. us the former, If upset, can

fore the oil can escape. OF course
the oil used must be of good
quality.
There is no saving. but some
waste and some danger in poor

) the burner. besides giving Off an
unpleasant and very dirty vapor.
Never turn down a lamp. 1t Is
meant TO burn with the flame at
full height. and when allowed to
smolder in this way it will either
) smoke or smell and most GER
tainly heat rapidly and become a

An alcohol lamp should always
; be placed in shallow dish, as
il Is liable to run out Oh table or
dresser and ignite. Never keep
the alcohol bottle near the light
ed lamp. Do not pour fresh alco-
, hol into the tank If there is burn
ing char on it, for the entire con-
tents may burst into flames.

AN All-Star Gambol" is Miss
Marie Dressler's ungraceful title for q
Very graceful and delightful enter
tainment which a crowded house APP
plauded at the Shubert Theatre last
night. Much knowledge of human
nature is apparent in Miss Dress
ler's conceit. She appeals to the
various moods of an audience by
providing both grave and gay ele-
ments of amusement, and those she
has chosen to present her classics in
vaudeville novelties are artists of
approved excellence.
OF the gargantuan. Astounding HUI
NOR of Miss .Dressler herself it may
be said at once that it pleases her
audience. That would indicate that
it must be good. Certainly when the
star and Jefferson De Angels, that
ancient of days. appear to give
their version of the death scene in
Camille" there could not but be
laughter rivaling that ascribed to the
gods. Far otherwise was the emo
ton excited when the two most dra-
matte scenes of the same drama were
given with Nine. Yorska and Robert
Drouet as the stars. Nine. Yorska,
who played with Nine. Bernhard in
Paris, is chiefly noticeable for her
visage of woe. Her face is woeful,
and her eyes, like the eyes of an
Armenian, appear to reflect ages of
woe. AS an actress she is certainly
sincere and worthy of praise.
Among the pleasantest remem-
brances of tho evening are the arias
of Miss Mary Desmond, Of the Covent
Garden Theatre, in London. Her
contralto voice is not sensational in
color or notes. but is of the timbre
that thrills the heart, and it's pos
SCISSOR has the further great adj
vantage of a noble. sympathetic pres

AS one studied her she seemed SO
out of her realm on that
stage, where alternately reigned hys-
terical sentiment and wild bulfoonery
that irresistably there was born for
her a feeling Of pity. She sang MY

blocks early this morning during
which he was shot by his pursuer,
Fatrolman Secrecy, of the Third

Secrecy was in civilians clothes ami

when he noticed three men sinking
along building on Commerce street
near the railroad. Suddenly he saw
the three men grab a man coming
from saloon and rifle his pockets.
Calling to the men to stop he ran
TO the spot. One of the men ran
toward Market street and the police
man followed. blowing the signal for
aid The highwayman ran through
Lawrence street to Commerce ana
then to Mulberry. As he was nearing
Market street Secrecy fired his gun
several times in the air. One of the
shots struck Smith in the arm. Not
until officers We're seen coming from
every direction in response to the
