MEATLEss MENUS FOR LENT
BY Blddy Bye
Housekeepers are often unable to
apply much of the modern scientific
knowledge about menu making. 1t
is important, however, that they
should try to remember which of the
cheaper foods contain the largestA
amount of nutrients. This informa-
ton turns up in some form in almost
every properly prepared article on
cooking.
It is worth while, for instance, to
know a little about the relative fuel
values Of common foods: cream
cheese contains about 1885 calOries
per pound; beefsteak, 1000 calOries;
lamb chops, 1,475 cal0Fies; peanut
butter, 2,735 caIoTies; navy beans,
1850 caIOries; corn bread, 1,175 ca
Tories; figs, .1,435 caloFies; bananas,
445 caloHes; cocoanut, 3,O25 calOries.

polls if the voters will unite their forces

oLIC AND DEMOCRATIC STATE
CENTRAL COMMITTEEMAN.
Mr.. Ross is Protestant and a Mason.
The Prosecutors Record
Assistant Commonwealth Attorney,
Lorraine Mix, who prepared the evidence
and secured the indictment Of Ross before
an obliging grand jury Of the faith
full, is the Whallen candidate for county
judge and while not q professed Catholic
himself, raises his children as Catholics in
Catholic schools.
In the printed records Of evidence filed
in the court of appeals in contested elec-
ton case, Vol. PIP. 252-303, there is
sworn testimony that Mr.. Mix attempted
to bribe certain Republican election Off
cials and in Vol. pps. 160-195 is evidence
of Mix alleged dealings with fake ballot
boxes that would make the charge against
Ross seem puerile. The court Of appeals
declared that election Q905) null and
void. II was the most corrupt in the an
mails of Louisville and was Whallen "vic-
tory" turned into defeat by an incorrup-
tible Democratic court.
The Election Of Mr.. Mix Mixed In
1t was during this election such reputa-
bic citizens as VIM. Heyburne, Arthur
The menace. [volume] (Aurora, Mo.) 1911-1920, 1917-11-03

Allen, Col. Bullitt, VIM. Marshall Bullitt,
others were assaulted by thugs of Irish
by Irish Catholic police. Mr.. Mix part in
the election frauds probably was the rea-
son he never convicted any Of the crooks.
Ross Opponent
VIM. T. McNally, the Irish Catholic op-
ponent Of Ross for sheriff and interested
also in the case against Ross, will have
plain sailing in the effort to assassinate
his opponents character If the Whallen
Gang is elected.
Is This Coincidence?
Under the law 1t takes vote Of nine
members of the grand Jury to find an in.
dictment. On the October grand Jury
which "found" the indictment against Mr..
Ross there are nine Catholics and three
Protestants. Ross therefore feels justified
in claiming that the frame-up against him
instead Of Democratic one, is rather an
Irish Catholic one.
Mix Remembers the Past
Vol. 8, page 253 of the record mentioned
in the court of appeals, shows that Frank
Montfort, Republican Judge Of election in
the 47th precinct of 7th ward, swore that
Lorraine Mix came to his home at mid
night and offered him $40 and other cleo
ton officers like amounts to let the blinds
be pulled down in the kitchen and vote
the precinct then and there and open up
the polls next morning at his house. Mix
said there was no danger and it was being
done all over town.
Ross is now accused of fixing the ballot
box in one precinct, after, instead Of before
the election without even the courtesy Of
attempting to bribe anybody. No one
who knows the character of the men in
volved has any doubt of the frame-up, but
with the courts, police and election ma
chinery in the hands of the vicious religio-
political gang that dominates the Demo-
cratic party and the city of Louisville, to-
gether with the willingness of the crowd
to spend $4,000 to convict the man, he
would be crazy to permit himself to be
] tried by his enemies.

"The Boss"
A $4,000 Frame-up
As an example of their desperation, the
Whallen bosses, after a month in which
they could have made their charges, have
hurriedly indicted the Republican candi-
date for sheriff, Ross, on the charge Of
stufing ballot box with SO votes for him
self, on the testimony of two saloon-keep-
ers and Jew who have long been reliable
machine workers.
In one of the courts controlled by the
machine, Whallen man was heard to de-
clare that $4,000 would be given for the
conviction of Ross and great pretense
has been made Of offering the accused man
trial before the election, so that the case
can be dragged through the courts both
local and state in event he is not rail-
roaded by dependable juries, and thus fur
nish an even greater political scandal.
The Republican newspaper, The Herald
has been frightened into weak protest
only against this outrage, refusing to
print Ross full statement because a short
time ago, big libel suit for $25O,OO0 dam.
age was instituted by Cronan, candidate
for mayor, which is now hanging fire un
til after election.
Who Stuffed That Ballot Box?
Mr.. Ross says that he voted in thu
primary and was not again in the polls
the whole day long. But somebody stuffet
36 ballots in the box undoubtedly and ther
had the nerve to swear that he was 81
foolish as to boldly enter the polls in thu
presence of his political enemies and pu
in 36 ballots, insisting that he would d.
as he pleased and otherwise defying them
The humor Of the situation is that only
% votes were cast in that precinct.
Drop the Pro-German Weapon
The pro-German informers however hav
not been as successful as the ballot-bo,
accusers. The federal officers who mad
investigation of charges of pro- Germanisn
brought against reputable citizens as
political weapon, have disappointed tn
Whallenites by demonstrating that the Sc
cret service will not lend itself to tn

Do You Borrow Money?

In the course of human events it be-
comes necessary for most people to borrow
money. Business men who can make 10
per cent. or more out of training find it
profitable to borrow in order to carry on
business on a larger scale, discount their
bills and carry complete stocks. Others find
it desirable at times to borrow for various
purposes, and some find it necessary to
borrow because they have either failed to
save, or have been unable to save and are
confronted with an exigency that requires
money.
Should you at any time find yourself in
such a condition, do not borrow from your
friends, go to your bank. That is what
banks are for. They live by their loans,
and no banker will refuse loan that meets
certain requirements and is in his estima-
ton good. 1t is proposed in the next two
or three talks on banking to tell you what
the banker wants to know when you offer
him your note. Whether the loan is large
or small the same rules apply.
In the first place the banker will expect
you to be depositor. Fost banks make it
rule to lend to only those who are custom
ers, and customers mean depositors. If you
favor the banker with your account, giving
him profit from the use of your money,
he will be glad to reciprocate and let YOU
use his money when you need it and offer
the proper security. The rule is well es-
tablished to lend in the proportion of not
over five to one; that is, if you keep a bal
ance of 500, the banker would lend YOU
$500, if he thought we'll of your credit
standing. The greatest mistake business
men make is to keep little or no balance in
the bank and then expect the bank to ac-
commodate them with loans.
A business man wanted a note of 500
discounted to meet his payroll The bank
er knew him. His moral standing was good,
In looking up the account his balance was
but fifty cents. Now what did that indicate =?
Just this: That the would-be borrower had
trusted everybody until his capital was on
his books, here, there and everywhere, and
he was not collecting his bills. He had no
free money" to carry on his business. He
had no working capital He was strapped"
The banker was perfectly justified in asking
the borrower either to make better collec-
tons, or get his affairs in such shape that
when payday came he would not have to de-
pend upon borrowed money to pay his
men.
Nothing so hurts an application for a loan
IN well-managed bank as low average
balance, and all good bankers give heed to
this factor. Therefore, as starting point,
do your business through a bank, deposit
ing your receipts and making your pay
ments by check, and keep a balance large
enough to gain the bankers good will when
he looks at his ledgers to see how much of
your own money you have available when
the needs of business require. Don't do all
your business on borrowed money, for if the
banker finds it out, he won't discount your
note.

GLORIOUS SPRINGTIME..

There is a thrill and potency about the
springtime that are wonderful and indie
scribable. The closing days of winter drag
out their existence in melancholy fashion
but when the spring days come and men
and women can get out into the open
again it seems that life takes on a new
significance.
1t is good to hear the birds sing again,
it is good to feel the stimulating breezes
again, it is good to turn up the warm soil
again, it is good to expand and relax again
in the great out of doors.
Various people have various ways of well
coming the arrival of spring. Some cele-
brate it by walking or driving, some by HE
ing themselves to streams with rod and line,
some by raking and spading and planting.
Everybody heralds its approach in some
manner, and everybody is glad when spring
is here.
1t is a great season-a great, glad, potent
season, and its approach floods the world
with glorious light and hope.

THEIR MONEY IS SAFE

People here in our midst of alien birth
or connections, who have money deposited
IN banks in Georgia or elsewhere, may feel
easy about the safety of that money-not
only as to the solvency of banks, but the
policy of the national and state govern
ments. The assurance comes from Washing
ton, in emphatic terms, that the government
is not disposed to interfere in any wav
with such deposits.
Just as long as the money is not utilized
for any disloyal purpose-in spirit of hos
tility to the United States or the state of
Georgia-it is as safe from interference as
it ever was. Uncle Sam is going to war
with the German government, truly, but
Uncle Sam is in no wise disposed to in any
way interfere with the bank deposits or
other legitimate investments of men or wo-
men of foreign birth or utilization. The
savings and means of such people are safe
even the deposits in the postal savings
banks
Our government does not propose to
fitch from or rob any person simply be-
cause that person is of alien birth or con-
nection. Even if feeling it must engage in
war our government is not inclined to en-
barrass any one who is law-abiding and or
derby, and willing to appreciate this spirit
and policy.

THE SITUATION.

AS TO the world-war, or our share in it,
IT NAV he said in brief that the war spirit
seems to be sweeping the country. By that
is meant the readiness of the people as a
whole to accept the view of the president
that we cannot in honor hold aloof and fail
to stand Loyalty with him and congress.
Such is the expression of the country. The
congress is celebrating on war measures,
the raising of men and money, and gather
ing and conserving supplies of all kinds. A
great army, undoubtedly, will be raised,
though whether by volunteers or conscrip-
ton the congress must decide The military
element want CONSUMPTION, the people want
volunteers and congress is sharply divided
on the question, with the presidents influ-
ence with the former. Our navy will get
busy on the high seas, and we shall extend
material aid to the entente allies-money
and supplies first and then perhaps men,
If public sentiment approves the latter
course.
The country is aroused as to the need of
providing food supplies, and the farmer is
being appealed to. The trend of events
show this to be a fateful time.

WAR FINANCING

If anything can bring the American pub
Tic to realization that the nation is an active
participant in the greatest war the world
has ever known the administration pro-
gram for raising war revenue should do the
business.
The sixty-fOurth congress, which went
out of existence on March 4, had completed
arrangements for financing the government
along ordinary lines during the next fiscal
year. Two or three of the big supply bills
dealing with preparedness features were
blockaded by the senate filibuster, but are
to be passed in their original form by the
present congress- Therefore, it will be I'M
derstOOd that all routine government fnanc-
ing and all peace preparedness financing
were out of the way before the present
problem of war financing came up for So
luton. The war revenue measures, accord
ingly, will be superimposed on the highest
routine and preparedness budgets in the his
tory of the country
According to the plan just announced in
Washington the government expects to
raise and disburse along the line of ex-
traordinary expenditures during the com
ing year $675O, 1000, 900. If you have diff
Guilty in comprehending the magnitude of
this total you may reflect that the national
debt looked pretty big when it ran along
tor good many years under a grand total
of $1,OO0,OO0,000. We are going to multi
ply our national debt by five or six, what
ever may happen as a result of our partici-
patton in the war this year.
Not all the money to be raised and dis
bursed by the federal government on ac-
count of the war is to be spent by it. As
now planned $4,000, 0O0, 900 is to be loaned
to the allied governments. This will leave
$3,75O,OOOO0O available for American ex-
pendltures for naval and military purposes
during our first year in the war. Present
army and navy estimates call for total ex-
penditures of $4,000, 100000. Unless they
are exceeded, as they doubtless will be, the
administrations financial plan provides for
a surplus of few hundred million at the
close of the war.

Stray crows are among the harbingers of

United States. By growing time" like the
