INCREASED TAXATION NEG
ESSARY.

Secretary McAdoo's position rela-
tive to taxation for the coming year
was frankly and positively stated
in his letter to Majority Leader Kit
chin of the house of representatives
lie wrote in part:
I'VE can not afford to rely upon
$4,O000O0,OOO only for taxation, be
cause we shall then have to rely. on
raising $20,O0O,0OO,0OO by loans. This
would be surrender to the policy
of high-interest rates and initiation
with all their evil consequences.
"If we are to preserve the finan-
cial strength of the Nation we must
do sound and safe things, no matter
whether they hurt our pockets or in
volve sacrifices-sacrifices Of a rela-
lively insignificant sort compared
with those our soldiers and sailors
are making to save the life of the
Nation.
"The sound thing to do unquestion-
ably is to increase taxation, and the
increases should be determined upon
promptly and made effective at the
earliest possible moment"
The Secretary's recommendations
briefly are that one-third ESTIMATED
at $S,OOO,OOOOOO) of the cash expen-
ditures to be made during the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1919, be pro
vided for by taxation, real war
profits tax at a high rate upon all
war profits, substantial increase
in the amount of normal income
tax upon all so-called unearned in
comes, and heavy taxation upon all
luxuries.

PROBLEM OF THE CRIPPLED
BEGGAR

That the problem presented by the
crippled beggar on the street is one
Glat should be seriously taken up by
the authorities in every community,
is the opinion of Douglas c. McMur-
trie director of the Red Cross Insti-
tune for Crippled and Disabled Men,
New Tork City. 1t is certain that
the participation of America in the
war is going to bring about a vast
increase in the number of crippled
ncn III this country and Mr.. McMur-
tries idea is that it would be a
great injustice to these men who
bear the marks of war on the bodies
to permit them to he looked upon in
the same light as tn crippled mendi-
cant. Drawing a careful line of dis
tinction between the cripple and the
beggar, Mr.. McMurtrie writes as fol
lows:
"Thc public has too often confused
the idea of cripple with that Of q
beggar. The resulting reaction has
done great injury to the cause of
the self-respecting disabled man in
regarding him as subject for chart
ty but not for trade training and en-
ployment.
ITO be sure there is historical pre-
cedcnt for this attitude for in past
decades and centuries various peo'
pies have condemned the cripple to
the status of roadside beggar or at
best employed him as jester or court
fool. And in our experience there is
justification i'll the view because we
have seen many cripples at street
corners, making public exhibition of
soliciting aims of the passers-by.
The number Of these beggars is
small in comparison with the great
body OF physically handicapped men
who are usefully employed, but the
few have vigorously advertised, have
made a considerable impression on
the susceptibilities Of the communi.
ty and have reaped a profitable har-
vest. A bank teller reported recent
ly the case of a crippled street beg
gar who deposited in savings ac-
count, after paying his living expen-
ses, forty dollars weekly.
"That the beggar cripple has been
permitted to ply his trade is great
injustice to the disabled men of char
acter and independence. The prac-
tice should have been stopped in the
past; it is absolutely necessary that
it be prohibited in the future. For
with the expectation of our soldiers
who will return disabled from the

Flour Substitutes.

it no difficult matter to use as much
Of the substitutes as We use Of wheat
dour. But We have individual ways
Of using the substitutes. Some Of Us
like one thing and some Of US like
another: and each OF us should plan
q list OF substitutes to buy based on
our own and our family's personal
taste.
Here Is q fairly inclusive list Of the
kinds of cereal that We may buy as

ed as substitutes.
In making out your list Of substi-
tutes to buy next time you need hour
don't buy any with which you have
had bad luck, and buy most Of those
with which you have had best luck.
Remember, too, that corn meal does
not keep very well in warm weather.
and ought, therefore. to be bought in
small quantities. Corn flour, because
II contains less moisture than the
meal, keeps better.
Some housewives seea to feel that
there Is a virtue in buying and using

It is said, on scientific authority, Of
the trtassic period that the rocks OF
the system are largely red sandstone,
that the climate of that period seems
to have been rather arid and the vege-
tation scant in the earlier ages. Gym
nosperms, especially cycads. from
which the locusts are descended. were
the most distinctive plants. The am
