CONGRESS TO ACT
ON REVENUE BILL
Plans for Adjournment in July
Are Practically Aban-

Final Conferences on Question
Will Be Held Monday
Afternoon.
tBy Associated Press.

WASHINGTON. May 26.-Dissatisfied,
but resigned. Congress Is prepared to
revise it's legislative work this week
and abandon plans for adjournment
II. July.
President Wilson is expected to state
formally in few days why revenue
legislation before the December ses-
sion is regarded as imperative. Since
the Demo cratic and Republican leaders
failed 10 agree on plans proposed by
the President for special session after
the fall elections. the work OF forming
now tax bill will proceed at once
unless there is some unexpected de
velopment.
Final conferences on the question
will be held tomorrow. Senator Sim
mons. chairman of the Senate Finance
Committee. plans to see Secretary Nc
Adoo. and compromise movement to
afford Congress a summer vacation
later on may follow. Leaders hope tho
administration may consent to an ad-
journment after the revenue bill has
made substantial progress early in the
fall. possibly after it has reached the
Senate, and defer completion OF the
measure until the winter session.
With an all-summer session regard ed
as a disappointing certainty. a slowing
down OF recent speed on legislation
is expected. Weekend recesses are
planned during the summer while com.
mittees work on the tax bill. This
week. however much important legis-
lation Is on the program.

BEEF UNFIT TO EAT
SOLD j. s. TROOPS
Over Five Tons of Meat Shipped
to Camp Travis Ordered
Destroyed.
NO LICENSES ARE REVOKED
Mr.. Hoover Orders Full Survey
by State Food Admins
traitor in Texas.

WASHINGTON. May as.-Charges
ton has been sold to the United States
troops in Texas by Wilson &c Co.. and
Morris & Co., two of the largest pack
crs In the country, were made to-day
by the Federal Trade Commission.
More than 10000 pounds Of meat
shipped to Camp Travis. Tex. has
been destroyed by order OF the food
administration. This was all fresh
beef. shipped in refrigerator cars and
supposedly in good condition. Twenty
six carloads have been condemned in
various sections Of the country within
the last few weeks. according to Her
bert Hoover. the food administrator.
No full prosecutions have resulted: !:
no licenses have been revoked. Prose-
cution undertaken by the Texas au-
thorities failed because the action was
brought under a section of the food
law that provides no penalties and
makes it incumbent upon the govern
ment to prove willful waste or destruc-
ton. The Federal Trade Commission
having criminal power. now can
obtain only moral conviction" il it's
FACTION is successful.
Mr.. Hoover announced to-day that
he had ordered an immediate survey
OF the entire case by E. A. Peden. the
Texas administrator. He expects a
report on Tuesday.
While all the meats were fresh and
not OF the .'embalmed beef" variety
that caused such a scandal in the
Spanish American War, the announce
mcnt by the Federal Trade Commission
to-day is the first open official hint
that any of the soldiers were getting
inferior beef. The commissions open
charge reads:
COMPLAINTS ARE FILED
WITH TRADE COMMISSION
Complaints have been issued by the
Federal Trade Commission making the
serious charge against Wilson & Co.
and Morris 6, Co. that they have sold
and offered to sell meat and other food
products to the government with the
knowledge that these products were
TO be used as food for American SOL
diers. and that those products were
! spoiled and unfit for human consump-
ton
Thousands OF pounds Of UNFIT meat
were offered for sale to Camp Travis,
Tex. according to the information on
which the complaints arc based. In
dictments were returned against the
two packing concerns by grand jury
in the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas,
charging violation of the fourth section
OF the food law, but these indictments
failed. 1t was found that no penalty
Tor violation of this section OF the
FOOD law had been provided
The Federal Trade Commission has
been informed that in addition to
spoiled and unfit beef. the National
Army cantonment at Camp Travis
was offered chickens for sale which
were unfit for human consumption.
THE commission has decided that
selling meat products carried with it
the implied representation that such
meats are wholesome and suitable for
such use"

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

Any odd pieces of fat may be tried out more easily in a double saucepan than by putting into the oven; it will then take less watching.
 Before frying anything in egg dip the mixture in bread crumbs, then in the egg, then again in the crumbs. One tablespoonful of cold water may be used with the egg to good advan- tage.
 To prepare the crumbs put stale bread, thoroughly dried out, through the food chopper, using the fine or coarse cutter, according to the kind of crumbs required.
 To conserve sugar when cooking prunes soak them for forty-eight hours before cooking. By doing this no sugar will be required and they will be just as sweet, the syrup just as thick as if sugar was used. Less time for cooking will be required, thus saving fuel, too. (In warm weather keep them in the ice box, otherwise the water will become sour.)
 When making ginger snaps or cookies, if the dough is shaped in long, narrow rolls and chilled on the ice or left in a cold place over night, it may be sliced off instead of rolling. This saves a good deal of time and is very satisfactory.
