Only ten individuals, however, bore the burden of that rate. They contributed Sl3,- O0O,OOO to the total tax. The aver age rate of tax paid declined through the income classes to a minimum of .2S per cent for the S3,OO0 to $4,0O0 class.

TRUE ECONOMY

Regarding prices, we must realize that labor and cattle feed have been high for months, and the dairyman has his own overhead expenses in- creased enormously.
 But the intelligent housewife will realize that true economy will not all low any reduction in the family's use of milk, no matter what the price is. Economy will lead her always to buy whole milk instead of cream, for the skim milk left in the creamery is of ten wasted. Take the top of the bot ties for cereals, coffee and the like, have plenty for the children to drink use sour milk and whey in cooking, and make cottage cheese often to use in place of meat.

MILK IS ONLY
 FOOD WITHOUT
 A SUBSTITUTE
(By U. S. Food Administration

(By U. s. Food Administration
 The war has taught us many things about food 1t has taught us we can substitute corn, barley, rice and other cereals for wheat without injury to our health. It has taught us that we "an substitute milk, cheese, nuts and eggs for meat, and sirups for sugar.
 But there is one food for which neither this war nor any wars will ev- CT teach us to use as substitute.
The Seward gateway daily edition, and the Alaska weekly post., 1918-08-20

This food is milk. Milk is the one food of universal necessity for child ren. It contains all the necessary food elements, and there is no substi- ute for it. It is, in fact, the one food which is called "perfect."
 Unfortunately, however, milk is of ten considered only a beverage, in- stead of a highly nourishing food. For this reason when the price of milk goes up a cent or two many house. wives reduce their milk orders.
 But this is not true economy, for milk at any price is the cheapest ami mal food. Twenty-Five cents worth of it will give more energy than p cents worth of meat, eggs or fish.

BOWIE

The following is clipped from a re- cent issue of the Seattle Daily Times:
 DENVER, Colo, To "mush" l2l miles over fields of ice and snow, tra- vel thousands of miles by foot, rail and water and give up $lO,OOO a year business that he and sixty of his companions might get in the "big game" on the other side, Is the eX- perience and sacrifice of Howard Pat ten, who has reached Denver from Alaska.
 Patten came home to enlist in the Signal Corps. He was conducting a store at Anchorage, Alaska, when he and sixty other young business men of the town decided to enlist.
 Now Howard Patten and the others did not mush 12l miles, by long shot. They only mushed perhaps half that distance for the bunch diu ride in honest to goodness railroad cars for some of the distance out of An
 horage, and did ride in railroad cars rom Mile 52 to Seward For good less sake, Howard Patten and the lthers, give the government some rredit for at least doing little some hing towards railroad building in the last three years.

GERMANY MAINTAINS MILK

Children and invalids should have plenty of milk. Germany was one of the first to recognize the absolute necessity of this, and in spite of her milk shortage she maintained at all hazards the full milk ration for Ger man children and for German hospit- als.
 This country is more fortunately situated than the other warning coun- tries, for we are able to give milk freely, not only to our own children and invalids, but to all consumers. We must, of course, guard against waste.

King Ferdinand Of Bulgaria is said
to have one redeeming virtue. He il
considered the best botanist i'm eastern
Europe. At his sumlner residence
just under MuSalla, the highest peak

to have, n wonderful ~rock-garden
where not only Alpine and sub-Alpine
plants are grown, but even representa-
tive specimens from England, as well
as many rare native bulgarian noun
tain plants. These last have peculiar
scientific interest, for, while some Of
them are mere varieties of Carpathian
or Alpine types, others correspond
closely to those OF the Caucasus and
Asiatic highlands-thus dating from
Il period before the two continents
were divided by the Dardanelles-
while n few others, like the lovely Bull
garian gentian. are indigenous flowers
not found elsewhere. But summer
succeeds so quickly to the time Of

spring flowers on the Rhodope range
is seldom seer except by the shep-
herds Of the mountain pastures.

who prayed frequently In the prayer
service of his church. His prayer in
variably contained the queer phrase,
Lord, brush away the cobwebs y"
This petition in due course of time
became very irksome tn n second
brother, who tired of hearing it re-
peated so often. At length, Lord ?"
cried he. "Our brother hath often be-
sought thee TO brush away the cob
webs, for many years he hath asked
this of thee. We beseech thee that
Thou wilt, by Thy grace. enable him
to change the form of his prayer. Let
his voice no longer ask that the cob
webs be cleared away. but let his CRY
~hencefOrth be. Lord, kill the spider.' ="
