ECONOMY IN THE HOME.

Carl vrooman, Assistant Secretary of
Agriculture, Gives Good Advice.
The domestic life of a modern
army should be an example to every
American housewife. In the army
the ration is we'll balanced. the
cheapest nutritious and palatable
foods are purchased, and the most
economical means of preparing them
are used.
1t is q patriotic duty at this time
and all the time, whether there is
war or peace, for every American
woman. rich or poor. to keep her
home prepared" Home prepared
ness means substitution of cheap.
appetizing dishes for costly foods,
practical elimination Of waste, and
scientifically balanced rations.
There are two great groups OF
food that enter into a balanced hu.
man ration-the protein group, like
meat. eggs and beans, and the starch
group, such as potatoes, rice, cereals.
bread. etc. The protein foods as q
rule are more expensive than the
starchy foods. Some protein foods.
however, are cheap. The prime fac.
tor in economy in foods is the choice
of protein foods that are at the same
time cheap and palatable.
A cheap food. rich in protein and
fats, is the ordinary field soy bean.
often sold under the name togo
beam" Ten cents worth at the
price of Is cents quart will supply
over five ounces of protein. while
average beef at 20 cents pound
will supply little over one ounce OF
protein for the same money.
Don't depend on one kind of food.
When potatoes are dear, remember
that one pound of dry cornmeal pro-
vides about five times az much fuel
or energy and five times as much
tissue.building as one pound of raw
potatoes and costs from one.third to
one-sixth as much.
Save fuel and labor by making hot
breads only when using your fire for
cooking other foods. Avoid the dan
ger of overlooking, and conserve the
flavor of your dinner by using a fire.
less cooker. You can make good
one yourself very cheaply.
By such expedients as these every
woman can prepare" her home not
only against war but also against
sickness and hard times.

An Army Aviator's Luck.

Many an aviator among the fight
ing nations owes his life to miracu'
lous good fortune, like the British
air man whose escape is described ir
Tales of the Flying Services by C G
Grey.
An officer went out on a bombing
expedition and met German ma
chine. In order to save weight he
had left all his small arms behind
him, but he thought it was pity to
pass by good target. and so he de.
cided to drop a bomb on him. But
dropping a bomb on swiftly NOV
ing mark is not the same as firing at
a fixed point. So he missed the Ger.
man. Unfortunately for him. he
also exposed himself to the fire of
the enemy. and received rifle bul.
let in the thigh.
To be strictly accurate, the bullet
struck his trousers pocket, hit five
franc piece, broke itself and the
coin. and distributed the assorted
pieces of metal about the lower part
of his body.
Feeling that he was badly hit. the
pilot shut off his engine and dived
for the ground from a height Of
about six thousand feet. When he
was thousand feet from the ground
he espied some aeroplanes in a field.
and, not knowing whether he was
over German or Frence territory, he
made up his mind to land among the
aeroplanes, certain that if they did
happen to be German machines, he
would be we'll treated by the flying
corps.
Two hundred feet above ground
he completely lost consciousness, but
in some curious subconscious way he
made perfect landing-right along
side British motor ambulance. So
we'll did he land that for some min
utes no one troubled about him.
When they did go to look they
found badly wounded officer in a
state of collapse.
He was promptly put into the am
bulance and sent off to the hospital.
There it was found that the bullet
had cut large artery and that the
pilot would have bled to death in a
few minutes if the bullet had not
also cut a muscle, which had sprung
back and wrapped itself like piece
of elastic round the artery and form
ed. as it were. an automatic tourni-
uuet.

PAYING FOR THE WAR.
Views of a Leading Newspaper on the
Proposed Revenue Bill.

Proposed Revenue Bill.
The War Revenue Bill. the most
sweeping measure of taxation eve,
proposed in the United States, should
be subjected to searching criticism
and amendment before it becomes 8
law, but in the main it adheres tc
correct principles.
Contemplating yearly levy OF
81, 800. 100000, which will bear
heavily upon every man, woman and
child, it wisely avoids the financial
errors of early Civil war days, when
resort was had only to bond sales
and fat money. Staggering as its
burdens must be, the present gener-
alton is by no means to meet the
entire cost of the war, but its pay
ments from earnings and savings
are to be heavy enough to stabilize
credit and preserve a sound eco
nomic policy.
While nearly all of the vast sum
to be raised will come from direct
taxes, not one of the new internal
revenue imposts in the bill as drawn
taxes the table. The application of
a 10 per cent tariff to goods now i'm
ported free and the addition Of 10
per cent to existing custom rates
will produce q considerable revenue
without restoring the old inequalities
and extortions. 1t is so palpably a
war revenue bill that in all honesty
it must be repealed in most of its
parts soon after the conclusion of
peace. leaving conditions as they
were.
Income and excess-profits taxes
have been doubled. with smaller ex-
emptions for individuals, and the
surtaxes upon incomes exceeding
$4,000 run as high as 333 per cent.
Probably these features of the bill
will receive close scrutiny in both
Houses, for economic questions of
the utmost gravity are here present
ed all along the line, especially in
regard to the excess-profits tax, now
placed at II per cent.
Liquors and tobaccos are to pay

For some reason, the most elabor.
ate system of stamp taxes on docu-
ments ever devised omits bank
checks, an easy and natural source
of revenue; but the authors of the
bill did not forget to restore Scent
postage and 2 cents for postal cards,
or to insist upon the Objectionable
zone system in fixing exorbitant
mailing rates for newspapers and
magazines. In this way publications
of wide circulation which do much
to coordinate American thought. in
cluding all the farm journals, are
Disseminated against, and revenue,
instead of increasing, will positively
decrease.
Retroactive income taxes must al
so furnish legitimate grounds for
controversy. The supreme court
has upheld legislation of this kind,
but it is in sharp conflict, nevertheless,
with the spirit of the Constitution.
With almost unlimited resources at
it's command. Congress has a poor
excuse indeed for collecting a sec
ond time after it has once given its
receipt in full.
When in 1862 Representative Just
in S Morrill, of Vermont. one of the
Civil War Tax Bill of that year, pre-
sented it to the House, he said with
emotion that it was the most drastic
act ever applied to a free people;
but, on behalf of Government, he
registered solemn promise that it
should not outlast the war. Vexa.
tious as that measure was to peo.
pie unused to searching taxation, II
was mild in comparison with the bill
now in hand.
