Against the Nati0n-The
Biennial Budget of State
Calls for S4,7O0,OOO

! Gov. Graham to-day asked the Yer
mont legislature to appropriate 81 000,-
600 as an emergency war fund in order
to equip properly and put into the field
full regiment of 2002 men and 56 officers
and also to provide other Vermont troops
which may be called for by reason of the
declaration of war between the United
States and Germany The request came
in the form of special message deliv
cred before the two houses this after
noon, at which time the executive also
asserted that the original two year bud
get for state administration had been
scaled down from S., 100000 to 81 700 900
and that a direct state tax OF 10 cents
would be required. Gov Graham also
made reference to proposed gift to the
state of land in Middletown Springs by
H. G. Copeland of New York City and
suggested that some action be taken.
In asking for specific legislation for
the Sl,000,oo0 war emergency fund, Gov.
Graham expressed the belief that the ex
ecutiye officer might already have the
necessary authority but that it would be
safer to have the appropriation. Gov.
Grahams message was as follows:
"AIr. President and Gentlemen of the
Joint Assembly:
Gas we shall soon reach the time
for final adjournment it has seemed
best to me to call your attention to

"Final adjournment. While you

of the session and adjourn this week,
the fact that the president has seen
fit to call a special session of Con-

had determined to call it together
April l6. would make it seem proper
that you remain in session until
after April ?, as the president may

NEAT And USEFUL
COAT GIVES PROTECTION BOTH
FROM COLD AND RAIN.
chiIdren's Garment Is Now Considered
Practically Indispensable for Both
Winter and Summer Wear-One
Of the Best Designs.

A raincOat for q small boy or girl
is practically Indispensable, winter or
summer. One of the worthwhile fea-
lures Of winter raincoats is that they
may be made of material sufficiently
heavy to afford perfection from cold
and from rain ut one and the same
time. There are number Of chem
zeal processes by which fabrics are
rendered waterproof, and While in all
cases it is not possible to guarantee
that a heavy downpour of rain viii
fail to penetrate fabric so treated, 1t
will usually withstand an average
shower. Hence the Old-fashioned rain
coat that was 4 raincoat pure and SIM
ple-nothing more-has been relegat-
ed to oblivion, and in it's place has
come garment that does not adver-
tise itself as exclusively for rainy-day
wear.
An attractive little coat is made Of
rainproofed English suiting in wide
checked pattern. and it is finished all
around with braid and belted in at the
NaloL with Al patent lSutAttN UGH,
which may be in black or some vivid
color, rs" green, red, etc. Generous
pockets and smart little storm collar
are features of the garment.
A rain hat Of matching fabric may
be made UP if desired, banded with
leather or trimmed with little wreath
of rubber flowers. such as used to dec
crate rubber bathing caps.
A fabric raincOat for small girl
should be warmly lined and interlined,
inasmuch as it is usually not merely
slipped on for few minutes during
downpOur and then abandoned for the
warmer coat of fur, velvet or plush,
but must be worn to school on rainy
days and worn home again, regardless
of drops in temperature, etc. A warm
fabric raincOat is an excellent invest.
ment for either q small girl or a large
one, and suitable fabrics may be pur.
chased at any wcll-stocked shop.
To make a coat such as the one de-
Scribed will require for seven or
eight-year-old girl two and quarter
yards OF material SO inches wide.

ONCE A DAY OFTEN ENOUGH
Assertion Made That Women Need Not
Put In So Much Time WASH
ing Dishes.

"The careful housekeeper will al
ways resent the suggestion that once a
day is often enough to wash dishes,
writes DR.. H. Barnard in "Table Talk
in the National Food Magazine. ''She
cannot train herself to allow soiled
plates and silverware to stack up from
one meal to the next, for she has been
taught that such actions are evidence
of shiftless, slovenly housekeep-
ing. AS a matter Of fact, along with
many other notions which are fixed in
the operation of the home, both time
and energy are saved by cutting out
two OF the three daily DISTINGUISHING
jobs"
Doctor Barnard goes on to recite
TIE experience of one housekeeper who
actually dared study the homely work
of dishwashing. One week she
washed dishes three times a day; the
next week she washed each days
!. dishes altogether. She used the same
humber of dishes each day in both
weeks. She found that it took her
81 minutes day to wash after each
meal and Al minutes a day to wash
them once day.
This took account only Of time, but
there was a considerable additional
saving in gas or fuel consumed by
heating water once instead of thrice a
day, to say nothing Of the saving in
soap.

TO CLEAN Sill YER.
GOVERNMENT EXPERTS TELL OF
BEST METHODS.
Directions for Preparing Cleansing
Material That Has Much Virtue
Must Be Applied With Care
and Thoroughness.

For the benefit OF those who have
the care Of silver, the Office of home
economics at Washington has made
thorough study of the electrolytic
method Of cleaning and has published
the results of their work in United
States Department Of Agriculture Bui-
letin No. 449.
After discussing several types of
commercial cleaners and giving the re-
suits Of various analyses, they suggest
the following method as being cheap
and satisfactory:
''An chanel or agateware dish
should be partly filed with q cleaning
solution Of one teaspoOnful Of either
washing or baking soda and one tea
spoonful Of common table salt to each
quart Of water and placed directly
on the stove to boil. A sheet of alumni
nun or clean zinc should then be
dropped into the dish and furnished
silver placed in contact with the metal.
1t is best that the silver be entirely
covered with the cleaning solution and
that the solution remain at the boiling
temperature. AS soon as the tarnish
has been removed the silver should be
removed, rinsed in clean water, and
wiped with soft cloth. Zinc may be
used in place of aluminium, but it be-
comes corroded and inactive in much
shorter time" \, r
The electrolytic method cleans plated
or sterling silverware without loss Of
metal, giving, however, a satin finish
rather than FURNISHED appearance,
and has the additional advantages Of
being both clean and labor-saving.-

TEMPERANCE NOTES
By the National Woman.s Chris
tan Temperance Union.)
LESS RELIEF WORK NEEDED.

Charity organizations in the prohibit.
ton states all testify to decrease in the
number of persons and families need
ing their aid. Portland, Oregon, for
example, showed marked change at
Christmas time in all lines of relief
work. For four years the Oregon anC
Washington Railway & Navigation
company provided a Christmas dinner
for needy men. This last Christmas
there We're no prospective guests and
the "feed" was abandoned. The clerk.
at the mems resort offered hungry.
looking man free meal ticket. In
stead of accepting, the man flashed
roll of bills before his face and In
vited him to dinner.
A lumberjacl who afOretime had
been fed by this charity resort took the
manager to Christmas spread and
then left for safekeeping bank book
showing deposits of $3.50. The man is
sixty years old and never before had
saved a cent.
The "Muts," q body Of business men
organized for charitable relief three
years ago, have disbanded for lack Of
work.
Only l per cent Of Portland's fami-
lies received Christmas help. In nearly
every instance this was in the form OF
extras, the families themselves being
able to provide the necessities.
Oregon is particularly fair example
of the better labor conditions due to
prohibition, for this state gets no war
business and all industries have suf-
fered from shortage Of railroad cars.

TO CHEAPEN LIVING COST
Advice About the Best Kinds Of Foods
That Should Be Selected and
Prepared.

A bulletin published by the New
York department of health suggests
IA number of changes in diet by which
money can be saved without sacrificing
nutriment.
Cereals, such as cornmeal, hominy
and especially oatmeal" the bulletin
says, ''are rich in nourishment, and are
much cheaper than patented cereals,
American cheese, dried beans, and
peas are comparatively cheap, and con
tain great deal of protein, which is
the most important food element found
in meat.
"Oleomargarine is very satisfac-
tory and economical substitute for but
ter. Unfortunately, it's use In public
institutions is prohibited by law.
"Rice is very cheap food and can be
served in many different styles. 1t
should be used more frequently than 1t
is in the dietary Of those of moderate
means. 1t contains a very high per-
centage Of carbohydrates, one of the
very necessary forms of nOurishment.
Everyone knows how extensively it is
used among the peoples Of Asia, where
it has served as the chief article of
diet from time immemorial.
1T should not be necessary to state
that bread, preferably Of whole wheat,
form which is rich in very important
food elements called 'vitamines,' also
sugar and potatoes, should occupy
prominent places in the dietary Of the
working man and woman.
'There are many other cheap food
Stuffs, notable one being macaroni
and cheese. When these are used
judiciously, they serve to lessen the
cost of the dietary without in any way
impairing its food value.

TAKE OUT GREASE SPOTS.
elemishes That SO Greatly Annoy the
Housekeeper May Be Effectively
Dealt With.

Grease spots may be removed by the
application of carbon tetrachloride, ac-
cOrding to II. e. Zoller, assistant in
chemistry in the Kansas State AgricuI-
tural college.
Removing grease spots with gaso-
line or benZine is both dangerous and
wasteful," said Mr.. Zoller "ChlorOform
is effective, but is dangerous. Carbon
tetrachloride Is used by cleaners be-
cause of its safety, cleaning power and
the absence or disasreeabe odor.
The disadvantage is it's expense.
Ink is difficult to remove if it has
been in the garment for some time.
Iron inks may be removed by oXalic.
acetic, citric, or dilute hydrochIoric
acids. In case OF the coal-tar inks, the
spot must be bleached. -
'1rOn rust can be removed by fairly
strong oxalic acid solution, if allowed
to stand on the goods for short time,
and often when it is exposed to the
sunlight the action is little quicker.
The excess of oxalic acid must be
washed out, and the goods washed with
a good soap, in order to neutralize the
acid. Hydrochloric acid is the best re-
mover of iron rust, If handled by an ex-
perienced person.
IAN excellent formula for the remov-
al OF fountain-pen ink, especially iron
ink and iron rust, is the acetO-oxalic
acid formula. 1t is made by saturat-
ing ~ per cent acetic acid solution
with oxalic acid and mixing one part
of the product with four parts of al
