It is expected that this exhibit will
surpass in interest and practical value
anything of the kind ever held in the
city. The two-fold necessity, high
prices and national needs, which i'm
pei the American housewife to a re-
vision of food schedules will consti-
tute the basis of display at the St.

be arranged in sections according to
food values, so that it may readily be
seen just what place may legitimately
be taken in the diet by the foods
which are being urged as substitutes
for those we must send abroad. A
display will also be made of devices
which lessen labor, fuel and electric
power. Music and other features of
entertainment will be provided daily.
The Food Show is under the chair.

money may be realized to the estab
lishment of prepared-food kitchens,
where women who are at work away
from home through the day may buy
at the lowest possible cost a well
cooked and nourishing meal to take
to- their families.

be paid.

Graft Trials Put Off.

SFdIt rIalS Fut UT.
The trial of the remaining state
graft cases has been postponed from
Jan. to Jan. 81. Judge Slate said
attorneys for the defendants were en-
gagged in helping registrants fill out

There are five indictments still

were arranged under the usual sys-
tenn of all roads charging the same
rate to competitive points, irrespec-
tive of their mileage. The rate be-
tween competitive points has been
controlled with few exceptions by the
rate of the road having the shortest
mileage between the points.
Accountants of the Public Service
Commission estimate that the new
rates will increase the railroads year
ly revenues in Missouri approximately
S2,OOO,OOO. Last year the roads earned
S9,O1S, ,15O.71 on passenger traffic in
Missouri.
The putting into effect of the in
creased rates marked an end to a
fight the railroads have been making
since 1907, when the legislature passed
the 2-cent fare law, reducing passen-
ger rates from cents per mile to 2
cents.

souri, who have an annual net income
of $4,000 or more, and married men
and women whose net income annual
ly is $4,000 or over, must make a re-

come tax law which become effective
July l. The first tax upon incomes
is to be collected for the last six
months of the year 1917.
The state income tax law was en-
acted by the Forty-ninth general as
sembly. 1t is patterned after the old
federal income tax. In fact, the
amounts to be exempted, $4,000 and
$4,000, were selected in the belief that
the names of persons with larger in
comes might be obtained from the
federal authorities.
The state law levies tax of one
half of per cent upon all incomes in
excess of $4,000 for single persons
and in excess of $4,000 for married
persons. If single man received a
net income of $500 for the last half
of 1917, or married person received
net income for the same period Of
$4,000, he must make the return.
