EFFICIENT HOUSEKEEPING.
By Henrietta Grauol.
OUR DAILY WHEATLEss MEAL.

We are all asked to save all the wheat
we can, and this is not hardship when
compared To the demands placed upon
the women of less fortunate lands than
this.
Housewives can manage to have not
only whcatless day weekly, but wheat
less meal daily, as we'll by wasting no
bread but making all left over slices into
toast, using bread crumbs in batter cakes
and in pudding, using buckwhcat, corn
meal, rice, hominy and rolled oats for
breakfast cakes and breakfast cereals.
Twice a week let us have corn meal
mush and milk. This is strengthening,
appetizing, good. II is easily dgested, and
''mush n milk" is the same food that fed
our pioneers and devel oped the bone and
sinew of our grandparents Let us boost
it and ask for it out loud, and praise its
good qualities; not hide our love for the
staunch, tried stand by of good old days
under wicked pride.
In Colonial times hasty pudding
seasoned with salt and eaten with fresh
milk, or syrup, was thought sufficient food
for the hardest work and the longest Jour
heys. Later it was fried with bacon and
pronounced n perfect combination and a
| well-balaneed ration. Then meat was
nodded and fried, and this scrapple, or
bonne mousse, as Lafayette named it.,
became a staple food until the middle Of
the last century. The combinations
present-day cooks arc making with corn
meal inush are delicate and delicious and
just as nourishng. One dish that an
| eastern hotel is serving TO patriotic diners
rs corn meal mush and boiled rice mixed
together and nodded into fiat cakes and
Drowned To n tempting crispness.
All cereals may be combined with corn
meal and all may be added to bread bis
cult and breakfast cake mixtures. To sub
stItute cup Of meal or grain for a cur Of
white flour seems a hardly worth while
saving, but if all American women will
make this trifllng substitution whenever
possible, and carefully save every scraT
and crumb of bread, untold misery will be
| avoided IN thousands Of cases and tht
ultimate amount saved will be 1nbeliev
able. We have all been taught that
Little drops of water, little grains Of sane
Make the mighty ocean and the glorious
land
Soft Corn Bread with rice is recip,
We can easily use once a week until thi
BOYS come home. Mix a tablespoon o
! melted shortening with a cup Of scaldcc
corn NAL and cup of cold boiIec
rice, add cups Of milk, on
weIl-beaten egg. a dash Of salt, a table
spoon Of rnolasses and beat until full o
/ bubbles Bake 40 minutes in greaseo
| bowl and serve hot from the baking disi
with spoon.
Both the dish and the oven should b.
heated when this is put in to bake. Thi
is sometimes called Southern spoon bread

SANDMAN STORY.

Syndicate New York City.
KING OBERON.

You have all heard many times Of the
Fairy Queen, but / am sure you have
seldom heard Of her husband, Oberon,
and If you wish 10 learn the reason !
will tell you.
When the Fairy Queen was quite young
of course she will never be old-she
married the King. One day she thought
she would leave the little fairies in charge
Of King Oberon and take q little trip all
alone in her pink she'll carriage with her
white mice to draw IT.
The Fairy Queen thought il would be q
good thing If the King learned Just how
much time il took to care for all The
little fairies, so with n wise look on her
tiny face she drove away one lovely
moonlight night.
"Wbat shall we dor asked the little
fairies Of the King "The Queen tells us
what 10 do every night" ,
What do you usually do! asked
King Oberon.
"0h. we do lots Of things" said the
fairies. "Sometimes the Queen sends
us to care for a poor little unhappy boy
or girl; sometimes for lonely old person:
Sometimes we have all the leaves and
bushes 10 clean and shine
Don't you ever play" asked the King.
ooh YES: we have Jolly times every
night in the dell when the moon shines, "
said the fairies "Tho Queen lets us
play awhile and she calls us and sends
US out to do our work.
"Well," replied King Oberon, you
run along into the dell and play, while
I think up what you should DO for work
this night
ooh. can We take our lunch and have
picnic?' asked the little fairies.
"Of course. YOU can take anything you
find in the pantry" said King Oberon,
forgetting that the Fairy Queens pantry
was never empty. Run along now.

LIBRARIANS IN TRAINING
 WAR WORK WITH FORCES
(BY Associated Press)

RIVERSIDE, Cal, March 2.-Music and literature have become prominent elements in the social service rendered the soldiers in camp and cantonment, as a part of the war service commun- ity service of recreation and instruc- tion, and the insistent call for men librarians to serve in the military lib' raries at home and abroad has caused, the establishment of a school here with the single purpose of meeting that demand.
 The library at Riverside has long been known as a training center for librarians for civil work, and men and women have come here by the score to hear the lectures, study the methods, and perform the duties comprising the instruction course Now Joseph F. Daniels, the librarian, has announced there will be established separate branch of the school, for training men to serve with the troops.
 It is believed by the librarian ana his advisers that there are men in the west who are past the draft age, and perhaps physically disqualified to pass the tests for active service, who will gladly accept posts as librarians with the soldiers. It is for these that the short course will be offered

AUTOMOBILE CONCERN
 IN BAD IN CALIFORNIA
(By Associated Press)

Nb9 tASSONtdiCo I iCoS|
 SACRAMENTO Cal, March "A suit by the state to collect $24,000 as
 the franchise tax levied against the
 Ford Motor Car Company in 1915 by
 the state board of equalization, and penalties aggregating $3,OOO for al- legged failure of the corporation to make the payment, was set for hearing recently by Judge Peter ]. Shields department of the superior court.
 The action was filed April 6, 1916, ten days after United States Senator Johnson, then governor of California, had issued a proclamation denying the Ford company. among other corpora tions a right to transact intra-state business in California and declared forfeited charters of corporations that had failed to pay the tax.
 This proclamation directly affected the two distributing and assembling plants of the Ford company maintain' ed in San Francisco and Los Angeles. The proclamation did not apply to interstate business transacted by the company.
 Under the provisions of the fran chise tax law failure to obey the pro- clamation would be subject to a pen atty of $10O for each day intra state business was transacted
 Attorneys for the Ford company claimed the tax was unjust, dis criminatory and that the procedure un- der which the corporations charter was forfeited was unconstitutional"
 Earlier in March, 1916, the United States district court in San Francisco denied the application of the corpora, tion for an order to restrain the gov ernor from issuing the proclamation. This case Is pending in the United States supreme court on an appeal byI the Ford company.
 The tax-levy was based on a report submitted to the state board of equal. ization under provision of the law requiring foreign corporations to set forth annually in March it's total transactions in and out of the state, with the amount of business done inl California stated separately.
 In rendering it's report for the as-! sessment year of 1915. the Ford com pany, members of the state board of said, failed and refused to give some of the information re- quired"
 It did, however, submit report stating it's paid up capital was $2,0OO,- 900; that it owned tangible property in San Francisco and Los Angeles which was assessed at $573,930; that on September 30, 1914 it had in it's surplus account $4S,827037; that for the calendar year 1914 fl did total business of $12O,S27626.42, of which amount $700O,0OO constituted the Cal ifornia business. The company show ed that at the end of 1914, it had made a gross profit of $3O,33S, ,454.63 and had allotted to dividends $9,2OOOOO.
