Administrations Proaram.

Retention of the import duty on su.
gar. and extension of the war emer-
gency" tax beyond December 81, are
the only two revenue measures de-
cided upon by the administration
In an official announcement from the
treasury department Secretary Nc
Adoo states that these two measures
will be recommended to congress at
the opening of the session.
Just what. II any, additional meas
ures will be taken, has not been de-
termined by the administration.
Though Secretary McAdoo and other
advisers have consistently frowned
upon a bond issue. il is possible tina.
an issue Of Panama canal bonds viii
be made to finance the army and navy
In the preparedness program, and kept
as separate transaction. leaving the
ordinary receipts to care for ordinary
disbursements.
Secretary McAdoo will recommend
that the free sugar provision Of the
Underwood-Simm bill. which places
sugar on the free list May l, 1916. be
withdrawn for several years. and that
the emergency tax be continued until
the close of the war in Europe.

eggs, a half cupful of sugar and a
quart of milk and pinch of salt.
Cook the custards and on top of each
place two spoonfuls of the fig mixture,
cover with a meringue or whipped
cream and serve cold.
Chopped dates and figs. mixed with
chopped nuts and a little cream to
make it of spreading consistency is
fine for sandwich filing. Dates on top
of coffee cake. with raisins. makes a
most dainty and wholesome breakfast
dish.
Fig Loaf Cake.-Take two cupfuls Of
chopped figs. two cupfuls of sugar. q
four cupfuls of -four, four eggs. three
teaspoonfuls of baking powder, mix as
usual and bake in loaf
Date Pie.-Make rich pastry shell
and bake it. Fill with the following
mixture: Wash pound of dates. heat
them (after removing the stones) in
a quart of milk, when soft run through
sieve and add one egg well beaten.
pinch of salt, and pour into the
baked shell. Cover with whipped
cream and serve cold
Dates and figs added to a simple
apple and celery salad add much of
richness and flavor to it. Stuffed
dates may be made with fondant for
filling or cream cheese. Figs stewed
in water and lemon Juice with little
sugar make a most delicious sauce to
serve on ice cream. In fact these
fruits can hardly be out of place. they
are so well liked.

RECORD BAD
Country's Revenues Wasted by

Millions Thrown Away on PORK" and

National defense is not a partisan
right now that the administration and
the Democratic majority in both
houses of congress would do we'll to
pay scant attention to Republican
counses
The present comparative helpless
ness of the United States is directly
and specifically the result of Republi-
can blindness. Republican carelessness
and Republican pork"
The Republican party had absolute
control of the nations affairs for six
teen years II managed so well that
at the end of that time the trained re-
serve of the United States army con
sisted of sixteen men. 1t saw the Span
ish war increase our responsibilities
and difficulties at least tenfold. yet
was content with an army less than
four times as great as had sufficed dur.
ing our previous isolation, while our
fleet takes lower rank among the
navies of the world today than it did
in 1898.
Through all those sixteen years, In
spite of repeated warnings. the Re
publican party was spending enormous
sums on pork" putting $5.000,e00 into
single fort" on the bleak. inacces-
sible plains of Wyoming for the ben
eft of Senator Warren: building navy
yards in Maine that no battleship
could reach. for the benefit of Senator
Hale; wasting the nations money on
every side. And yet this is the party
which comes forward now and claims
monopoly of wisdom in the matter
OF national defense!
Such impudence is sublime. but not
convincing. President Wilson and the
Democratic majority in congress can
get all the advice they need from
trained experts in the army and navy.

preparation of meals. The sink and
table. stove and cupboards should be
within speaking distance of each 9TH

rectly into the kitchen or pantry be-
tween so that the shortest possible
routing would be accomplished in
serving a meal.
Windows should be plentiful and so
placed that plenty of light and ven

light should be planned to fall where
1t is most needed. over sink and stove
and table.
II swing doors are placed between
the kitchen and dining room the kitch-

The floor should be covered with
linoleum or finished in such a way
that scrubbing is unnecessary.

those with plenty of cupboard space

close that the dishes may be wiped
and set at once to the shelves have
small table with casters to move
about. This same table will be in
valuable to have near the stove when

zinc. A wheeled tray or tea cart is
another most convenient utensil to

them; movements in all directions fol.
low, SO animallike as to leave one in
doubt whether they are really seeds
or insects. First each seed disentan-
giles itself, then the seedhead is lifted
clear of the ground, following which
bend of the supporting tail turns the
torpedo head earthward, and the nee
die point with its bristles is thrust
into the damp soil by a continuous
pressure of the tail. This latter move
ment is continued until the seed is
embedded in the soil, the whole opera
ton occupying Is minutes. II the soil
is only slightly damp, the seed pene
trates just beyond the line of mois
ture and remains without terminating
until enough rain insures the safe
sprouting of the future Seeding. Thus
equipped, the sour grass exists despite
the severe drought against which the
sweet grass is helpless.
All Animal Life Fled.
The effects of the drought were so
far-reaching on the animal world that

The name Waterberg was given orig
inally when this country was very
fertile. watered by lakes, streams,
springs and dotted with marshes. Ac-
cording to the writer, it's name was
synonymous with sort of lotus land
of fertility; it literally overfiowed
with milk, honey and fruits. 1t was
also the last stronghold of the big
game of the northern Transvaal. To
day. after the eliminating drought Of
1913, it is practically desert, with
dried up water courses and springs,
dead orange groves, some of them over
fifty years old, trees three centuries
old now lifeless, desolate pasture lands
devoid of cattle and other life. There
is no game, either birds or animals,
and the fields where fine crops once
grew are now parched and dead.
No Running Water There.
1t is hard to believe, but true, that
in the entire district of Waterberg,
which is larger than the Free State,
there was last year no running water,
and in the north of the district there
is. tract over 1000 square miles in
extent where there is no single drop
Of water, running or stagnant, above
the surface of the ground. The great
Limpopo itself is dry for all the dis
lance that its course covers in this dis
trict and only by digging deep in its
sandy bed can drinking water be
found. Even after a very heavy rain
IN the neighborhood of its source,
which flooded it's tributaries at the
time, the stream reached but little
way down the Limpopo, and not one
drop of the water which fell in the up
per regions reached the sea; all lost
in the burning sands of the rivers
bed. Only the fairly numerous thermal
springs of the district remain unaf-
fected by the drought, and on them
the dwellers depend for drinking and
irrigation. The famous sweet grass
OF this region is nearly gone, though
in its place has come a coarser
"sour" grass with peculiar drought
resisting qualities.
The life history of this "sour" grass
is truly fairy tale of botany. Its
seeds are highly specialized, having
body shaped like torpedo with long,
tapering tail.
An opportunity Of seeing startling
wonder of plant life is offered when
one comes across mass of these seeds
drifted together by the wind. If lit

"The offender assented eagerly, and

of the institution.
But on Sunday morning the gar

Orville L. Kiplinger. chaplain of the

the following instance of scrupulous
conscience:
Some years ago an insane patient
was given to the immodest, not to say
expensive, habit Of tearing his cloth
ing from him and converting jeans,
ticking. denim or whatever the clothes
were made of, into carpet rags.
"The prison physician demonstrated
with the shredding nut as follows:
Say, old man, you're certainly
making a lot OF unnecessary trouble

The correct way of preparing tea
is to take the freshly drawn water at
the first boil, scald the teapot. then
add tea teaspoonful for each person
and one for the pot; cover with the
water, then let stand five minutes, add
enough water to serve, allow it to
stand minute then pour.
If you desire to make the tea with
tea ball it may then be served of
required strength to suit the individ-
ual taste. A pretty pitcher of hot wa
