FIGHT CONVICT
LEASE SYSTEM

Montgomery, Ala, Aug. 4.Will dol
lars or humanity triumph in the
gfht now being waged in the legisla-
ture to abolish the convict lease sys-
tenn in this state?
Those who favor making money out
of the bone and sinew Of human be
ings say this system means an an
,nual profit Of 100000, and its aban-
.donment means a state loss Of 500, 1000
Legislators who oppose. the system
are quoting the testimony of coal
operators that working convict labor
is losing business proposition. These
operators, however, believe the state
should continue the lease system.
Friends of the convict declare that
Alabama is near the bottom of the
ladder in its treatment of these I'M
fortunates, and that convicts should
be taken out Of the hands Of private
lesses and exploiters and placed on
the roads.

INCOME READY FOR
STATE He DECLARES

London. Oct. 1S.-SO P. M).-The man
who did not study the idea of having
half his income available for the state
was not doing his duty, said Edwin Sam
uel Montague, financial secretary to the
treasury. in replying in the House OF
Commons today to criticisms of the new
taxes imposed by the budget OF Reginald
Mckenna, chancellor of the exchequer.
Mr.. Montague dwelt upon the magnitude
of the burden cast upon the country. In
conclusion the chancellor Of the exche-
quer intended to develop with all posi-
BILE rapidty a compulsory taxation sys-
tenn for the country. but that this in
itself would not be equal to the case and
voluntary savings we're essential to an
ultimate victory.
Sir Alfred Mond and other free traders
protested against the import duties i'm
posed by the budget, while the Laborite
opposed the increased taxes on tea and
sugar.
Other members of the chamber express
ed the view tBat. the government while
preaching economy was not practicing it.

going on in the CAMPS of the country,

Bryce, said that Since the war there had

Greek Reply
to Serbian
Claim Upon
Their Treaty

Athens. Tuesday. Oct. 12-(via Paris,
Serbia's representations that the Bull
garian attack on Serbia completes the
act Of aggression contemplated under the
treaty Of alliance between Greece and
Serbia and asking if the Greek admins
tration Is ready to enter action against
Bulgaria, was delivered today.
Beginning with the declaration that
1.-The royal government greatly regrets
that it is unable to accede to Serbia
request" the reply explains that the al
lance Of 1911, while foreseeing Bulga-
rian aggression. was limited to preserv.
ing an equilibrium among the, Balkan
states.
1.-The preamble of the treaty." the reply
continues, defines it as Of purely Balkan
character not applying to a general con.
fiagration. Both the treaty of alliance
and the military convention completing
it prove in the first article that the con-
tracing parties contemplated only iso.
lated attacks by Bulgaria against one
Of them
The note minutely argues that the trea-
u does not cover the situation which has
arisen today-a situation in which
Greece might destroy herself without
hope of saving Serbia" 1t is added that
common interests demand that the
Greek force; still be kept in reserve for
a better use later"
The note concludes with the Geclars-
ton that Greece intends to remain an
armed neutral.

crease over the navy appropriation of

When the President and the secre-
tarles Of war and navy confer next

made to bring the total sum within
the 500, 900, 900 mark as at present the
combined total which the two branches
of the service will submit to the Pres
ldent, it is said, make about $450, 900 ,00O
The general view in administration
quarters is that a bond issue will be
proposed as a means of meeting the
added expenditure.
Secretary Daniels said today that both
the President and Chairman Padgett OF
the House naval affairs committee SEEM
ed to approve Of the idea of a ive-year
naval building program.
The secretary expressed the belief that
more dreadnoughts than battle cruisers
would be asked for. limitations in ma
val quarters were that four capital fight

year. and enough thereafter to make a

Adversely and Housekeeping

The nrSt gain IN the real simplifying OF
meals comes in the health Of those eating
them; the second comes in the oppor-
tunity to perfect what is cooked; the
third in saving time and strength: and
the fourth in saving money. We first
planned our dinners to comprise in gen.
eral but two courses. and sometimes only
one. Our luncheons then could be made
up of the discarded courses, or of soup
and dessert. This does not mean that we
have soup every day. nor that we use
meat for dinner every day. We often
plan to have a good, nouzEhing soup.
with a meat or vegetable or fish salad for
dinner. We often have macaroni or rice
au gratin, or rice or hominy with a
cheese sauce. for the main course at din
ner, serving with these the vegetables
which make a balanced meal We know
that rice and hominy are almost pure
starch, and that the cheese sauce repre-
sents fat and protein; further. that lima
beans or well-cooked red beans or lentils
may be served with these dishes. but not
with fresh meat. We know that for
health's sake. as we'll as for our pocket
book. vegetables and fruits should be
increased in the diet, and meat decreased.
given that mother of ours meat once
every day. our meat bill for March, April
and May was but nine dollars.
Our desserts are for the most part
fruit: apples, in every possible form,
bananas, prunes or such simple things.
canned fruits and poor mans rice pud-
ding with raisins. We have baked and
boiled custard. which we use for dessert
when we need the added nourishment.
We make cooldess but not cake. And
then we frequently have cereal for lun-
checn. Cereal with cream and fruit and
good bread and butter makes an ideal
luncheon. Try it and see. Moreover,
while mother does not like cereal for
breakfast, she relishes it for luncheon,
especially with figs or dates or bananas.
We do not usually have cereal for
breakfast. We always have fresh fruit
and hot bread, mullins, toast or hot rolls
or creamed dried beef, or creamed cod
fish. or good hash, and need no more. If
we have a hearty breakfast, We have a
light lunch. If we have a light break
fast, we see to it that we have heartier
lunch. And because there is no cook to
consider, we can adapt our meals to the
needs of the day. If we are going out in
the evening, we can have our dinner at
one and supper at six. without upset
stances are such as to take US all out OF
the house, we can lunch downtown
