What WAR HAS Done
TO ITALY FINANCIALLY
eY John 4. HEARLEY

United Press Staff Correspondent
ROME. Italy. Jan. 25.-(By MaiD.-
The budget reports for Italy's two
years Of war today show that in the
financial year 1856 Italy spent 81
125,OOOOOO, of which 652.OOO.OOO we're
for ordinary and S1,473,OOO,OOO for
war expenses.
Ordinarily there would have been a
surplus of S92, 900. 900. The war min
istry accounted for S1,39S 600 600
Needy families of soldiers received
SIS, ,000, 900 of this amount The min
istry of marine spent SIS. 100000.
Other items didectly due to the
war included $51000.000 for issuing
and paying interest on three war
loans; $420O.OO0 for transportation
and helping emigrants to repatriate; (;
S1.40O,000 to place the Italian Red Sea
colony in a state OF defence and ST.
100000 for the fishermen OF the
Adriatic coast. The 1856 budget
closed with a deficit OF S152, 500, 600.
In 1857 the army budget was in
creased by 100000 and the navy
by S63. 600. The payment OF in
terest on war loans amounted to S57,-
100000; S4,4O0.000 went towards re-
patrlated Italians; 81 100000 towards
the further strengthening OF the Red
Sea colony; 100000 to the fisher
men; 100000 to war orphans. The
total expense was S1,769, 400 900 and
the deficit. $652. 100000.
The general economic conditions
may be considered almost as good.
Probably, much less distress has been
caused by the war in Italy than in
other belligerent countries. Since the
wars beginning Italians have work
ed more. produced more and saved
more than ever before.
The populations thriftiness and
toll are proven by the fact that, while
the savings banks had S1.519. 900. 900
on deposit on June 30. 1914, the pres
ent deposits considerably exceed ST.
100000. 900. This, in spite Of the
higher cost Of living aud the war
loans, which has absorbed millions
Of dollars of small savings. Besides
the remittances from emigrants have
almost ceased, as there are now only
$4,000 emigrants abroad. compared
with 3SO,0OO in 1918. In 1916 imports
exceeded exports by s664 100000.

Household EXPENSES
CAN Be Reduced
Mrs. Feuling Says High Cost
of Living is Frequently
Self-Invited
LECTURER TO SHOW
SOME EXTRAVAGENCES

There is no more important ques-
tion before the housewife today than
that OF handling the present food situ-
alton This means buying intelligent
ly and with the family needs in mind.
Mrs. Alice Dynes Feuling, who is
coming to Wilmington on the week
beginning January 30, will take up
this topic and so simplify Il. that even
the least experienced Of cooks and
home managers may profit by il. Mrs.
Feuling says: Women who know food
values and have used this knowledge
in adjusting food purchases have come
into their own. No longer will bal
anced rations for the human race be
scoffed at Natural, fundamental,
economic laws have raised food prices
until we can no longer afford to be
ignorant as to food values. In fact,
the cause Of the greater proportion Of
The high cost Of living Is habit, waste
and ignorance. We have become ac-
customed to the idea that TO reduce
the quantity Of food to proper bal
anced proportion means frugality.
This is a fallacy pure and simple. Cor
rect eating, which to the housewife
means the intelligent planning Of
UIUUEIll UdldLNNu AAAIAANnf AAA WAt'N f'N
lection OF pure foods and the proper
preparation or cooking of foods, is the
way to efficiency.
1.-THE much talked Of high cost OF liv-
ing is frequently self-invited because
Of the extravaganza Of housewives, -
said Mrs. Feuling. Find the eco
nomical foods, learn the nutriment
value of these foods. It is not hard to
do: # is only the appreciation OF a
little knowledge and hard common
sense"
The diet squad Of the New York
Police Department, who are living on
20 cents day. and the recent Chi
cago twelve-persOn diet experiment
when six men and six women lived on
40 cents day, were cited as argu-
ments against the big price cry.
Mrs. Feulng urges that more house
wives learn the possibility OF utiliz-
ing what are called cheaper portions
of meat" These portions, she de-
clared are equally as nutritious as
more expensive cuts, and in many IN
stances more so. Housewives can
easily learn how to cook them so they
will make savory dishes. The secret
OF brazing. stewing of making appe-
tizing French ragouts will be explain
ed by the lecturer and demonstrated
by her assistants at the High School
Auditorium next week.

A TIMELY APPEAL

Last Saturday afternoon a number
of ladies and one lone man met at the
Library to hear Mrs. ]. o. Athey, of
Boise. make an appeal in behalf of the
drive for the sale of Christmas seals.
Mrs. Athey has investigated and knows
the facts with regard to the prevalence
of tuberculosis. At least one of her
hearers was startled by the statement
that normally, there are fifteen deaths
per week in the state of Idaho, from
tuberculosis. and the state has made
no provision for the care of those af-
f1icted. Institutions for the care of the
patients cost money. War conditions
enormously increase the prevalence Of
the disease. The funds received from
the sale of the Christmas seals will be
used for the relief of the sufferers and
for the prevention of the disease.

CONVICTIONS a WARNING

| Idaho has a sabotage and criminal
syndicalism law with teeth in II. a
fact that was demonstrated beyond any
question with the conviction of j. Otis
Ellis and ]. j. Murphy. both of
whom have started service of sentence
in the state penetentiary. The former
was convicted of sabotage and the lat
ter OF criminal syndicalism. Their SEN
tences run from 1 to IA years. Both

being Investigated by the Federal Of

force loggers to strike for higher wages
and instructed them to cut the logs

refused. Had the instructions been
followed the contractor would have
been ruined The loggers instead OF
acting on Ellis advice. informed their
boss and Ellis was arrested, tried and
convicted. McMurphy was one of the
strong I.W.W. leaders during the trou-
bic in northern Idaho. He also sought
to force satisfied laboring men to strike
Idaho's sabotage and criminal syndi-
calism laws are stringent. Any person
who wilfully, maliciously or mischie-
vously drives or causes to be driven
or imbedded. any nail, spike or piece
of iron, steel or other metallic sub
stance or any rock or stone into any
log or timber intended to be manu-
factured, is guilty of sabotage. Grim
inal syndicalism is the doctrine which
advocates crime, sabotage, violence or
unlawful methods of terrorism as the
means of accomplishing industrial or
political reform. The advocacy of such
doctrine, whether by word of mouth or
writing. is a felony punishable by i'm
prisonment and fine. Membership in
any organization which advocates those
things enumerated, subjects the holder
of a membership to prosecution. No
other state in the union has so strin-
gent a statute, the affect of which will

full evening gowns, were already in the
reception line ready to receive their
guests when they arrived.
A prize was given to the person who
could eat the most pancakes. Kenny
Crist won with II to his credit. Mrs.
Houston was a close second, claiming
that she had eaten 161s. An impress
sive vocal solo was given by Mr.. Smith
while Houston washed the dishes to
kill the noise. Mr.. Shellman was a
silent tho interested spectator, and in
wardly commended the men for their
good work. 1t was a great evening, a
wise business move on the part of Mr.
Houston, and a practical lesson in eul-
mary accomplishment to all gentle
men included) who were present.
Those who enjoyed the good time
were: Mr.. and Mrs. Shellman, Mr.. and
Mrs. Houston, Mr.. and Mrs. Crist, Mr..
and Mrs. Borden, Mr.. and Mrs. Mus

OUR WORK

Differences of all kinds and shades
must be forgotten, whether they be
political, fraternal, religious or other
wise, in order that there may be COM
bined all of the driving forces of Idaho.
1t is the firm belief of the state coun-
ell of defense that those not called to
bear arms for their country have a
solemn and sacred duty to perform at
home in keeping down sedition and
treason, conserving our resources, in
tensifying crop production so that
those who bear our arms may have food
to eat. and assisting in the financing
of the war through the purchase of
Liberty Bonds. There is also the duty
of giving freely to those organizations
to make more comfortable the
men at the front or training to be
placed there. administering to the
wounded and assistits the c(dier

SAVE A LIFE FOR CHRISTMAS

The British recently drove five miles
in in a spot a large number of huge
fighting Tanks, great armoured cars
equipped with rapid firing guns and
machine guns. They smashed through
mile after mile of the Hindenburg line
with very little loss of life to our allies.
We must have the greatest Tanks
the greatest guns, and the most of
them, to save the lives of our .Ameri-
can boys.
Give United States War Saving Ger
tificates for Christmas gifts instead of
