HUGE OUTLAY FOR /
MILITARY BRANCH
Total Appropriation for Year Es-
timated at $657 ,066, 90l,
Breaking Record.
BILL IS NOT YET COMPLETE
Figures Given Are Those Estimated oy
Committee Members Drafting the
Measure--U Sam Has
Funds in Plenty.

Washington, July 1.-The biggest
military appropriations In the history
of the nation already have been made,
or are about to be made, by this ses-
sion of congress. Congressman point
ed out that instead of the quarter OF
a billion dollars customarily appropri-
ated at each session for military pur-
poses, the present session will chalk
up record of from three-fifths to
three-fourths Of billion.
Leading expenditures, as compared
with largest previous appropriations.
are:
Navy. $3143s7.343; $149,763,5se in
1898.
Army. $2sooOo.ooo; s1Ol.974.1s5 in
1916.
Forts. s25.12o,11O; ss.5l7.141 in
1898.
Armor-plate plant. S200O0,000.
Deficiency act, $27,559,34S.
Total. $685., O68,901 and 1891, 254. s99-
This years army bill is not yet COM
pleted. but the figures given are those
drafting the measure.
In addition there are many minor
bills which have passed separately.
These probably will easily total $10,-
100000.
The pension act for the year calls
for $15S,000, OO0--S8.O 100000 less than
last years figures.
Has Funds In Plenty.
The administration is not contem-
plating issuing any bonds to provide
a war chest, even in the event Of con-
fiict with Mexico. The treasury is in
such q healthy condition that govern
ment receipts from all sources will be
sufficient to meet any demands, pro-
vided congress passes suitable rev.
enue bin to take care of the addi-
tional burdens that will be imposed.
Treasury officials estimate that at
the close Of. the present fiscal year
there Is more than $200,OOO,OO0 In the
general fund, the largest sum ever
placed to that account In the history
Of the nation.
1t Is estimated that the receipts
from the income tax will total more
than $10,000,0OO, while the ordinary
receipts from internal revenue win ex-.
coed $300,O00,000. The emergency
revenue measure will bring In an adj
ditional $S5,000,000. The grand total
Of government receipts for the year
is expected to reach $500.OO0.0O0. and
may go beyond this figure, In the judg-
ment of treasury officials.
Tariff a Great Help.
When the estimates of expenditures
for the current year were made no ac-
count was taken Of the various pre-
paredness measures which have been
advocated by President Wilson and
which will receive the sanction Of con-
gress before the date of adjournment.
But the present tariff bill has proved
such a success as revenue producer
within the last II months that even
these obligations, which were not
taken into consideration year ago,
will be met, and there will be money
left to the credit of the general fund.-.
Under present financial conditions
war could be carried on by this coun-
try for many months without the me-
cessity Of bond issue. If the strug-
gle should be prolonged the secretary
Of the treasury already has authority
to issue 100000 in three per cent
Panama canal bonds. But there is no.
thought Of doing SO at present.

Use Large Eaos.

Breeders are advised never to use
eggs for Matching that are smaller
than the ordinary-sized egg laid by his
flock. Most probably the small eggs
are as fertile and productive of good
chicks as the larger-sized eggs, but
such eggs may produce chickens that
will have propensity for laying small
eggs.

Cocksureness Blamed.

Gen. Leonard Wood was talking at
the Pittsburg camp about the sin of
cocksureness.
Gen. Sherman" he said, "once
got word during battle that Roscoe,
his favorite horse, had been killed by
cannon ball. So he sent for his serv-
ant and said:
Go skin Roscoe
:" Why, general, said the man, is
Roscoe dead?'
The general frowned, martially.
Never you mind whether Ros-
coe is dead or not, he said. You go
skin him.
1T was evening when the servant
returned with Roscoe's skin on a
pushcart.
=" Does it take you four hours to
skin horse? asked Gen. Sherman,
impatiently.
No, general; only one hour
said the servant; but it took three
hours to catch him. Exchange.

Usinu Butter.

Butter is the most easily digested
of all the animal fats, partly because
of the peculiar acids which it con-
tains. In many cases of anemia and
nerve-starvation an increased amount
of butter in the diet will have very
beneficial results. and yet butter is
the stumbling block In the way of
economy in many households. 1t is
far better to buy less expensive meats
than to limit the amount of butter on
the children's bread However, the
necessary amount of butter is to be
used In cooking is too often ove=esti-
mated. AS frying medium. 1t is in
adequate. for when subjected to high
temperature 1t decomposes and i'm
parts disagreeable flavor. For the
same reason 1t should never be used
for oiling tins. Either cooking oils,
lard or beef fat should be used
instead. Because of its cost, butter
has no place In plain cooking. Equal
ly good cake. cookies, and sauces may
be made with other cooking fats.

Bordeaux Mixture.

Dissolve four pounds of blue stone
in a small pail of water. After it has
dissolved dilute to twenty-five gal
Ions. Slack six pounds of lump lime
in small pail of water, and dilute to
twenty-five gallons. Do not pour one
solution into the other, but pour the
two solutions into a third barrel at
the same time, stirring vigorously to
insure thorough mixing. 1t is very
essential that the two solutions be
mixed this way so as to prevent crys-
tails from forming, and thus reducing
the strength of the mixture.
