NTHRst4NAtLow in its native state is
IY pretty plant that Is found in marsh

produces n coIorless and tastelesa gum
which haa always been used in preparing

naturally, Is not .rry common. ana so we
find that some OF the marshmallow canules
we buy are not really prepared from the
gum Of the m3rshmdllOW plant. ouJ are
combination Of sugar corn syrup ana gel
attn.
This is by no means an unhealthful sub
sttute In fact if pure ingredients are
used the imitation is probably more di-
eestible than the genuine marshmallow
The unwhoesomeness OF some bought
marshmallows lies in the fact that they are
not prepared with the hest inEredients' also
that they arc often stale. and stale cooked
gelatin is not the most digestible food.
For this reason. the best way to eat the
marshmallow candies Is toasted. In this
way the sticky mixture is softened and
masticated more easily than IL IL is nara
and tough

CROZIER, CRITIC

n General Crozier head of the great ordnance depart
ment Of this country ever becomes hero he will be in
the uncrowned class Critics of his candor and ncis
veness rarely become popular because the objects OF
his structures will not permit it. Nevertheless the gen
eral has performed service by calling attention to GER
tain derelictions.
We unalterably opposed to carping criticism, US
uay INDUCED in by those who do not know what they are
talking about and sometimes born of purpose to create
disaffecton in the public mind; but General Crozer's
words do not in that category He is interested IN
only one thing and that is to secure efficiency and
ACTION.
We may expect mistakes in carrying monumental
war program and the public will overlook them but it is
not contented with any policy of lethargy snapacing
and obstruction It quite necessary to give momentous
questions liberal consideration but sometimes congress
operates though this country had eternity in which
business It is quite right to throw all possible safe
guards around administration but it is senseess to hog
tie it with official tape
General Croler's sharp crtque will undoubtedly pro-
duce results
The results Of the delays to which the general refers
have not been bad happily because of the donation of
guns by allies but this country must depend upon

nothing to prevent the prompt and most complete equip

HE FLAYS THE

ACT AS UNI
EQUAL AN D
u N ] u s t"
- N the eve Of his departure for
Washington Senator Hiram W.


johnson Of California gave the
San Francisco ChroNicle an interview
on the war tax act. Senator johnson
enlarged upon his fight last year for
greater taxation Of war profits. He
told how congress was asked to follow
England's example in passing the
draft bill, yet the enthusiasm for Eng
lands example vanished when 1t came
to following her footsteps in taxing
war profits. He pointed out that Eng
land taxed war profits SO per cent the
first year. so per cent tho second year
and 80 per cent the third year and
that he had 1t. on the words Of Bonar
Law, that business in England, under
the taking Of 80 per cent Of war pro-
fits, was never better.
Under the present law, taxing all
of you, in the fashion that I presume
you now understand" continued the
Junior senator. 1.-The government raises
$1,000. 100000. or little less than that
Out Of war profits alone, taking 73 per
cent, we would have raised 100000
900. and you would not have been
touched by that sort of taxation, and
there would have been none of the lit
tie irritating taxes all Of US now feel.
THE difference in amount Is fabu-
lous and the difference in amount be-
comes important. because all political
economy has taught US. every war in
Europe has demonstrated. that you
should take the largest part common
surate with the least disturbance from
your people during the war that you
can possibly take and thus finance
your war"
In support of this theory Senator
Johnson quoted the following figures on
war profits:
United States Steel corpora
tions average pre-war yearly pro-
fits, $63,000,000. Profits for 1917,
estimated on the corporations re-
ports, $3.50, 00o, 900.
1.-THE Bethlehem Steel companys
pre-war profits, 100000; profits
for 1915, $4,000, 900, and this year
will be greater.

fits for 1915, $39,000,000.
1.-THE E. L. Dupont de Nemours

| In conclusion Senator Johnson warn.
