the financing of railroads. He SAID

"The financing of railroad is

MAKING BETTER HIGHWAYS.
The King Drag Is the Solution Under
Most Conditions.


1t is the common observation OF ex-
tensive drivers that bad roads me ans
that from one half to one-fourth of the
mileage is bad-often less than that
Sometimes these roads were continuous
ly good but short time before. Why
are they bad in places now? Usually it
will be found that heavy growth of
grass is growing on both sides of the
track at the bad places. This grass
catches the dust and mud, builds up
the sides until they are higher than
the travelled portion of the road ard
creates a condition for ruts and mud
holes The solution is the use of the
King drag. which while keeping the
center of the road crowned keeps The
grass from growing between the track
and the bitches.
King drags, made of steel and adj
Unstable, are cheap and the most eff
ficient road machine on the market
1t is suited for use on the bad places
and is good any place.

OF INTEREST TO
THE HOUSEWIFE

COOKING GREEN VEGETABLES
Prepared for the Advertiser by Abby
L. Marlatt, Home Economics Depart.
ment of the University of Wisconsin.
If we think of vegetables in terms OF
the IS per cent to 95 per cent of water
diluted with color, flavor and a small
amount of solids, then the price of
water masquerading as vegetables
seems high.
But, if we think OF the need for
! flavor and mineral matter to induce a
better appetite and keep the body in
good health the purchase of the vege-
tables, in season, will seem less costly
than tones from the drug store.
1t is most important when preparing
vegetables to save the portion which
gives flavor and that which provides
the mineral matter needed by the body.
At least 20 per cent of all iron re-
lquired by the body has it's source in
vegetables.
Experiments have shown that flavor
and mineral matter are lost in less or
greater measure when these vegetables
are cooked in too much water which
IS later thrown away. is best to use
as little water as possible in boiling
green vegetables and to keep this
water to be used later in soups or
sauces.
The loss of mineral matter from
vegetables through boiling may be as
high as SO per cent in spinach, celery,
cabbage, brussels sprouts, caulifiower,
carrots and not more than six per cent
when these same vegetables are steam
ed.
Flavor, when it's source is from
product which is readily given off in
steaming, may be retained by cooking
at temperatures below the boiling
point. 1t is for this reason that peas,
asparagus, celery, cucumbers and car
rots should be cooked at simmecing
temperature.
Strong flavor may be lessened by
cooking rapidlyi in open vessels. This
is true of cabbage, cauliflower, onion
and pepper Cabbage may be cooked"
at the end of twenty minutes. Longer
time develops strong flavor and in hard
water, may darken the color.
Those fresh green vegetables, which
consist of leaves and stems may be
steamed; or may be cooked without
added water if heat is applied slowly,
causing the water in the leaves to es-
cape in such amounts that the plant
cooks in it's own juice.
Delicately favored vegetables, as
peas, string beans, squash and ruta
bagas, may be served in their own
juices, seasoned only by salt, pepper
and butter. Brusse' S sprouts are inn
proved in flavor if cooked in meat
broth made as for soup stock, or in
water favored with bouillon cube
Carrots, celery, cucumbers and summer
squash may be improved in appearance
and flavor by first cooking in water,
then draining and covering with white
sauce.
The green vegetables are cheapest |
in the season of the year when they
are most needed by the human body |
At other seasons, the expense is far
beyond the benefits to be derived from |
their excessive use. Canned vegetables |
then should take their place even
though the flavor and mineral matter
may not be SO satisfactory.

On Financing Railroads

the Legislators and the Commits
sioners
Managing a railroad is quite differ
ent from managing a government
where the money is raised by taxa
ton. When the expenditures, for
good reasons or otherwise, increase,
taxes can be equally increased. The
railroads, while servants Of the pub
lie. cannot raise money with such
ease and facility. The railroads must
keep their expenditures within their
incomes because while they have
some control over their expenditures
they have almost NJ control over their
incomes, their rates being fixed by
public authorities.
There is no, q railway manager In
the country today who is not fearful
that under the press of increasing de-

NN so FAST

TAPTAIN BOY-ED and his fellow
u conspirator against the United
States government are displaying
nervous haste in their anxiety to get
out of the country. But the govern
ment need not be so fast in providing
the means. Every day brings the trail
of the dynamite plotters nearer to the
doors of these two scoundrels. There
are points past which even diplomatic
courtesy may not go, and Boy-Ed and
Won Papen are approaching one of
these. Both of them ought to be in
jail for serious offenses against the
government which has sheltered them
since long before the European war
began. Perhaps a few more days of
the secret service investigation may
bring out facts that will give Washing
ton opportunity to do more than
merely dismiss these two murderous
criminals.
Meantime it is gratifying to note
that our own secret service is provins
the equal of the much vaunted Ger
man secret service, and in some cases
is going it one better"

THE CHRISTMAS MAIL PROBLEM
BY BRIGGS
By Frederic J. Haskin

as thoroughly cleaned up this Christ
mast night as though it were any
other Saturday. over a million dol
lars will be spent for extra clerks and
delivery vehicles in the city post
offices alone.
The star mail routes have the hard
est task before them every Christmas
because 1t is difficult to make any ar
engagements to handle a rush in the
isolated districts where the star routes
lie. A star mail route is an overland
service which carries the mail from
a post office to its branches. where
railroads do not reach. The carrier
contracts to make the required num-
ber of deliveries with celebrity, GER
tainty and security" and generally
finds it no easy matter.
Dead Letter Office
The Dead Letter Office always gets
an interesting share of the Christmas
mail. Misdirected good wishes and
Christmas presents pour in weeks
after the date they were intended to
cheer the addressee. The dead letter
Office makes the usual strenuous at
tempts through it's experts to deliver
the packages, even though they prove
somewhat late. If it is impossible to
find out for whom they were intended
they are sold at auction-an auction
of misdirected Christmas presents,
which has its pathetic features.
Another class Of mail which form
erly came to the Dead Letter Office by
the hundred pounds is the childish
scTawl addressed to Santa Claus, and
, barring the inmost wishes of the
writer's heart in the matter of pop
guns and red sleds. The post office
department never was able to do any,
/ thing with these letters. as govern
ment appropriations do not cover the
benevolences of a Kris Kringle, so
they suffer the usual fate of mis-
directed mail. Under President
Roosevelt however, the experiment
was tried of turning these childish
missives over to a philanthropic wo-
man, who earned nationwide fame
as the Santa Claus Girl" She opened
each letter. and if the small CORE
spondent did not express some I'M
practical desire for an automobile or
a motorboat, she saw to it that his
wish was fulfilled so far as possible.
Generous donations from all over the
country helped her to fill innumer.

BANK ADVERTISING

THAT advertising In the daily
newspapers is the most profit
able method, next to personal
work by the officers or directors, in
placing before the public the ad-
vantages of banking institution, was
the statement made before the men,
bers of the Poor Richard Club of
Philadelphia by Fred w. Ellsworth,
publicity manager of the Guaranty
Trust Company. of New York.
Mr.. Ellsworth said that experience
in New York had shown beyond q
doubt that newspaper space is more
effective than any other in acquiring
both the good will and business of the
community.
The four essentials for banking
institutions, are, as the speaker point
ed out, character, strength, organiza-
ton and equipment. Having these
things it is the duty of the officers of
the institution and the members of
the board of directors to go out and
get business through personal work
and newspaper advertising.
One of the greatest advocates of
bank advertising is s. w. Straus,
president of the American Society for
Thrift, whose Little Talks on Thrift"
have appeared from time to time in
the columns of this newspaper. He
writes constantly and effectively in
behalf of the bank savings. But the
bank has many other forms of serv-
ice to offer the public. Every man
ought to have a bank connection.
Such relation makes for thrift and
system in expenditure and invest
ment. A bank account spells self-re-
spect, inspires self-confdence and i'm
proves individual credit. This the
man of means we'll understands, but
in this country, where the poor of to-
day are the wealthy of tomorrow, it
behooves the bank to induce the small
depositor to become customer, and
the newspaper is the most efficient
| instrument to that end.

.HE Post onice Department is

TIME Post Office Department is
facing a war problem in the
delivery of its Christmas mail.
Package and parcel post mail service
to Germany has been cut off. Unless
the situation speedily develops a new
angle, the several million Americans
of German descent are going to have
hard time sending Christmas pres
ents to their friends and relatives
across the water.
In November the Holland Steam
ship Line, which was handling the
parcel post to Germany, refused to
accept further consignments. All at
tempts to secure the services of an
other line. have so far proved fruit
less. In spite of prompt action by
the department in notifying all post
offices of the state of affairs some
confusion resulted on account of
packages that had been mailed to
Germany and could get no farther
than our own Atlantic coast line. All
such packages were returned free of
charge to the senders, and the post
age originally paid was refunded on
demand.
There is no nation to whom the
Christmas festival is dearer than to
the Germans, and there has always
been heavy package mail to Ger
many in December. The present state
of affairs will result in cutting down
our foreign Christmas mail for the
year, but with all that it will be
larger than last years The domestic
rush is expected to break all records.
The largest single stamp requisition
ever made on the Post Office Depart
ment came last month from the New
York Office, which is preparing for
Christmas business. The order call
ed for 213 million stamps, with a
face value of more than four and a
half million dollars.
The Christmas card is another little
item that mounts into numbers which
compel respect. The Christmas cards
this year will call for over a billion
one-cent stamps, despite the fact that
several million aristocratic Christmas
cards are mailed each year in sealed
envelopes requiring two-cent stamps.
Packages Are Features
The big feature of the Christmas
mail business is, of course, the pack
age-the package that varies in size
from a pillbox to a packingcase, that
carries everything from a diamond
stud to a dressed turkey, that de-
office in an avalanche about December
mas morning. The number OF
fall far short of the quarter of a
billion-250 million concrete mes
sages of good cheer, a number several
times larger than the human mind
can grasp. 1t is not too large num-
ber for Uncle Sam to deliver, however
and post offices expect to have things
