WASHINGTON, d. c.. Dec. "a.
The number of milliona.res in
the United States has more than
doubled since the beginning OF
the European war, according to Of
fetal figures just made public by
the commissioner of internal rev.
enue.
In 1914 there were just 1868
persons in the United States with
incomes Of $4,000, but In 1916
there were 1906, or, in round
figures, two and third times as
many.
1t is highly conservative to
rank people with $4,000 incomes
as millionaires.
Multis Gain Faster.
The largest increase was in the
number Of big r,ch," people with
incomes of half a million dollars
or more, worth at q conservative

ARE ACTING MIGHTY DECENT

Bakers advance the price of bread,
millers advance the price of flour,
packers advance the price of bacon
but light and juice stay at the old
figures.
Gas and electricity have not ad-
vanced, but the cost of everything
entering into the production of these
necessities has gone up from 30 to
so per cent.
The cost of 20 articles in common
use in making gas and electricity
have advanced 20 per cent from 1914
to 1915, and since 1916 have gone
up 70 per cent, or 101 per cent in
three years.
Oil for making gas and power has
gone up SO per cent and it will cost
one company operating In California
a million dollars more for fuel oil
in 1917 than in 1916.
All kinds of federal taxes have
been advanced and the state tax rate
ON one class of utilities has been ad-
vanced from 5.25 per cent to $50
per cent on the gross revenues.
Anybody can take flier at light
or power company. Cities can threat

HELP MAKE TOWN
PROSPEROUS, SAYS SCIENTIST

The more old maids there are, the
more prosperous the village, main
tains Professor Trevor Kincaid Of
the zoology department, dropping in
to economics. He proves it thus:
'The more old maids there are, the
more cats there are; the more cats
there are, the less field mice there
are; the less field mice there are, the
more bees there are; the more bees
there are, the better the clover Is
fortified; the better the clover crop,
the more prosperous the village;
therefore, the more old maids there
are, the more prosperous the village
is"
The relation between cats and the
clover crop has been proven in many
parts of the world.

DO YOU KNOW BEANS?
To Secure Good Food at Little EA-
pense, Raise Beans

Under the caption do You Know
Beans?" the extension division of the
Utah agricultural college has issued
the following leaflet containing much
valuable material regarding beans
and their uses as food.
How to provide the most for the
least expense, is the task today.
Economy in the provision of food
depends upon knowledge of what
food contains. The value of food
depends upon its power to maintain
body tissue and provide energy, for
the same amount of money.
Beans give more food value for
the same money than beef, eggs,
cheese or potatoes.
Beans contain starch in sufficient
quantity to make them fair substi-
tute for potatoes.
Beans contain the kind of protein
that make them a substitute for
meat.
Beans contain three of the import
ant mineral substances: phosphorus,
calcium and iron.
Beans maintain an alkaline cOndj'
ton of the blood.
Beans lack fat, which is suo tiled
by the addition of fat pork. They
may also be combined with peanuts
and salad dressings. 80
Beans are encased in hard seed
coat and require long, slow cookery.
To overcome the additional fuel ex-
pense, use a fireless cooker or a
steam pressure cooker.
Beans are Of many varieties.
The Mexican pinto and lima beans
afford possibilities in variety Of pre-
paration and may be seasoned with
vinegar, catsup or cheese.
Beans form the principal article
in rations made up for soldiers, lum-
bermen, and those doing heavy man
ual labor Their cheapness, staying
qualities and nutritive value indicate
that the provident farmer will make
them big crop this season.
A dish of baked beans is in itself
meal, providing tissue, energy, and
mineral matter, and being sufficient
ly heavy to. make it a waste of food
to serve at the same time an ex-
cess in the form of meat or eggs.
Beans and dessert Of fruit is suf-
ficient to complete the meal.

the seasoning may be anything de-
sired, as, for example, the mustard
and lemon may be omitted and the
dressing be seasoned highly with any
kind of catsup.
A sweet cream may be substituted
for the sour; it should be quite thick.

This is the time of the year that
many housewives are puzzled over
the problem of what to cook. In
making the daily menu do not slight
the salad; there are a hundred vari-
cites, each appetizing and nutritious.
Use the lettuce, radish, onions in the
garden, the old sprouted potatoes
in the cellar, the new beets, peas and
beans just coming on. Then there
are the fruit salads, of cherries,
strawberries, etc. The dressing forms
an important part of every salad; the
following recipes are very good ones:
French Dressing
One tablespoonful vinegar, 4 table,
spoonfuls olive oil, n teaspoonful
salt, u teaspoonful pepper.
Put the salt and pepper in the
salad bowl. or in small bowl If the
sauce is to be served separately. Add
a little oil and stir we'll, then grad
ually add the remainder of the oil,
stirring all the while, Last of all
stir in the vinegar, which should be
diluted with water if very strong.
This sauce may be modified to suit
different vegetables. AS it is given
it is right for lettuce, chicory, cook
ed asparagus, cauliflower, artichoke,
etc.
Cream may be substituted for the
Oil, but the salad is not so rich.
Cooked Salad Dressing
Two eggs, gill vinegar, 2 gills
milk, tablespoonful oil or butter,
1 teaspoonful salt, teaspoonful
mustard, n teaspoonful pepper.
Put the oil and dry ingredients in
to bowl and mix well. Add the
eggs and beat for five minutes, then
add the vinegar and beat one minute.
Now add the milk, place the bowl in
a pan of boiling water, and cook
until the sauce thickens like thin
cream. It will take about 10 min
utes. Stir the sauce constantly while
cooking. Cool and bottle what you
do not require for immediate use.
This sauce is good for nearly all
kinds of cooked vegetables.
If butter is substituted for the oil,
add it just before taking the sauce
from the fire.
Sour Cream Dressing
One-half pint sour cream, table
spoonfuls lemon juice, tablespoon
fuls vinegar, scant tablespoonful
sugar, l teaspoonful salt, u tea
spoonful pepper, taespoonful or
more mixed mustard.
Beat the cream with an egg beater
until smooth, thick, and light Mix
the other ingredients together and
gradually add to the cream, beating
all the while.
This dressing may be modified to
suit different vegetables. Having

CONNECTICUT MEN WHO
 HAVE ENLISTED RECENTLY.
Total of S33 Have Joined Regular Army Since the First of April.

A total of 853 men have been enlist ed in the regular army from this state since April 1, according to the latest figures given out by Major W. A Mercer. commandant of the Connecti- cut district. Approximately 1900 men must be obtained before the Connecti- cut quota is recruited.
 The war department expects to have the full war quota enlisted by June 30th. Unless this is done, valuable time in training will be lost. It is desirous that men between the ages enlisted in any branch yet would de- eide quickly and select their branch without further delay. The young men of the state, according to reports re- ceived by Major Mercer at the New Haven station. indicate that they are interested in the army. However, they are not responding fast enough.
 Fridays honor roll for this state is as follows:
 Albert F. Iavallee of Moosup, Charles H. Mino of Waterford, Joseph Marco of Hartford, Angelo Di vite of Hartford, Joseph Pican of Hartford, Albert Di Vito of Hartford, Ernest Ciccaglioni of Hartford, Anthony So- cha of Hartford, John Carghetti of Hartford, Wade H. Thompson of New Canaan. John Hulzen of Bridgeport. Joseph Biernat of Bridgeport, Edward H. Belden of Bridgeport. John Busik of Bridgeport, George H. Borodach, Au- gust A. Richter of Stratford.

At the First Baptist church Sun day morning there was a large dele gation of the Odd Fellows and Re- bekah lodges at their annual memor- ial service.
 The church was attractively deco rated with many flowers and with the flag and with red, white and blue streamers.
 A programme of music was given
 by the choir. Beside the organ were Fred Benson, violin; I1aRue Bliven,
 cornet, and Harry Ward, slide from bone. A number of much enjoyment was a duet by Messrs. Harry Ward
 Rev. MT Strouse, the pastor, gave
 a special message from the theme,
 This Present Hour. MT. Strouse said

 Afy dear Friends: I gave you a cor
 dial invitation to this holy sanctuary
 and rejoice that, on this your annual
 memorial service, we may fellowship
 together.
 Men are worth while. Tn each man

 in each man to soar to sublime heights which he lives and the soaring and carving haven't all been done in the past

 This present hour finds us in pos session of a great heritage. Someone has beautifully written of the unpar- alled opportunities of the present hour. For us Plato and Shakespeare thought for us, Dante and Milton sang for us, Edson and Newton toiled for us, An gelo and Raphael painted for Hs.

But there are still some contributions to make for the dawn of peace has not yet ap- peared. This Present Hour is frought with momentous possibilities. CD Christianity Is on trial. There is much labelled Christianity which has nothing of the Spirit of Jesus. It's a counterfeit type and will be consumed in the fire of this war. The quicker it disappears, the better.
 CD Democracy is being tested. This world must be made a safe place for We have no doubt but that democracy will stand the test. This is the brightest sign on all the horizon of life. The wave of demo- cracy is assuming worldwide pro- portions and will not cease until 1t sweeps over every lang.
