Kitchen Hints
Tempting Menus

No matter how dustless and clean
carpets and rus may be they
should be taken outdoors and sunned
and aired for several hours in the
spring.
Vacuum cleaners make 1t possible
to keen rugs so free from dust that
the old -time spring beatings are I'M
necessary, but the spring airing is
just as essential.
Fresh air and sunshine are the
most effective cleansing agents not
on the market.
Menu for Tomorrow
Breakfast-Stewed prunes, plain
omelet, graham mullins, marmalade.
coffee.
Luncheon-Spinach salad. broiled
cottage ham, fried cakes. tea.
Dinner-Broiled lamb chops,
steamed rice, piquant carrots, spring
salad, butterscotch, pie. coffee.
My Own Recipes
AS there is no waste about a cot
tage ham it is really an inexpensive
d~elicacy. The slices should be cut
about half an inch thick for broiling.
Spinach Salad
Two cups cold cooked and chopped
spinach, 4 hard-boiled eggs, l table
spoon lemon juice, mayonnaise.
Cnop whites OF eggs MIX Spinach,
chopped egg whites, lemon juice and
mayonnaise and mold in balls. Put
yolks o. eggs through ricer over
spinach balls. Serve on lettuce.
Piquant Carrots
One bunch carrots, 2 tablespoons
butter, 1 cup milk, 1 egg yolk, 1 ia
blespoon minced parsley, 1 table,
spoon lemon juice. salt and pepper.
New carrots known as "thinnings"
are especially nice prepared this
way.
If the carrots are very small use
whole, if not, wash, scrape and cut
in quarters. Cook in boiling sailed
water till tender. Drain. Melt but
ter. add milk, stir in egg yolk beaten
with lemon juice and cook until the

Moon Comes Down

NIpOh AZ yoN
Upon hearing a strange voice say
that the moon vas leaning against
an old stump on the ground, the
w circus monkeys slid down the
cocoanut tree like firemen down a
creased pole. If the moon was any,
where round, they didn't want to
miss it.
"Where is it? Where is the
moon?" they asked.
Here! Here!" answered the mys-
terious voice. Down at your feet!"
Now Flippety-Flap had been very
busy, and so had Nancy and Nick,
upon their arrival at the place where
the circus monkeys lived.
First, the fairyman took out the
large round mirror he had brought
in one of his great shoes, and out
of the other shoe he took the rice
they had brought from China. After
that he>made a small hole in the
ends of two cocoanuts and filled
them with the rice. The c%ocoanuts
he then hid.
Next, the three travellers hid
themselves behind the mirror and
had just got settled when the mon
keys came sliding down the tree.

The Sun dominates the planetary
rule of this day, according to as
trology, and is in benetic aspect,
while Uranus and Jupiter also are
friendly. Venus and Saturn are ad-
verse.
This sway is most favorable to
ambitions, especially to those who
aspire to fortune or position through
the favor of persons in places of in
fuence.
1t is a lucky day for men who
seek positions or who desire employ
ment, but not fortunate for women.
One of the problems hat will be
much considered in the future will
relate to women Of advanced age
who find themselves helpless and
alone when they are old. The seers
declare that because many who win
success in business do not marry
there will be an increasing number
OF those who need loving care at
the end of their lives.
There is an augury Of promise for
those who bestow gifts Or favors,
while this configuration prevails. the
reflex from them being exceedingly
helpful.
Growth of spiritual consciousness
among the people is indicated by
Uranus, the planet to which is attri-
buted the interest in psychic phen-
omena so prevalent Immediately
after the war
This is not a favorable day for
love affairs or weddings, since
Saturn seems to bode i'll for the
future, separations and unhappiness
being probable.
Again the divorce question will
be widely considered and the
churches will be greatly concerned.
laws rather than divorce laws will
be changed In the future.
Trade and commerce are well d.
rected today. Business conditions
should be better, although farmers
may be more than eve dissatisfied.
The rise to fame of a statesman
is prognosticated. He will become a
great leader who puts his Owl in
terests in the background, it is
prophesied.
All who are wise will decline to
speculate, for there will be surprises
in business developments.
Persons whose birthdate it is
should avoid pleasures and COM
pany during the coming year, which
may be a strenuous one. The reve-
lation of character weaknesses may
astonish the possessors.
Children born on this day may be
much given to ,self-indulgence, but
should be gifted. These subjects of
Taurus may not be much interested

Boards Pare Budgets For
 Years Work

Commissioners of the Fire, Police and Charity departments discussed their annual budgets with the Board of Apportionment last night. Econo- my had governed the commissioners in drafting their estimated expendi- lures for the year and few objection able requests were uncovered by the diligent budget appraisers.
 Supt. Angus P. Thorne asked ap- proximate1y $23O,00O for the Charity department for 1921. An appropria- ton of $8,000 was asked for the in stallation of a new refrigerating plant and well at Hillside Home. In .addf- ton, the Home itself will reuuire $105,875; the outside poor, $54,59O; hospitals and asylums, $622OO; Mar garet M. Ford cottage, $13,9O0; spe- cials, $15, ,450; insane patients, S22,- 900. No mention was made of the reported deficit of $1OO,OOO caused by the departments efforts to relieve the sufferings and hardships of the un- employed.
 Approximately $70O,0 900 was asked for 1921 by President Samuel Dave of the Fire commission, $57O,OO0 of which will be expended in salaries. Dave asked $14,200 for a new fire truck and $7,20O as salaries for four new fire inspectors. These salaries were questioned by William E. Burn ham, of the Apportionment board.
 The police will need about S72O,OOO for 1921, according to Commissioner John c. Stanley. About $650, 1000 will be needed for salaries. New addi-

Redding-The board of relief re- ceived a. number of complaints at their opening session on Tuesday, one of them being from Commodore Lutt- gen His last years assessment of S64,500 included about $6O0O as a 10 per cent penalty for failing to sub init a, list and while he returned a list this year, the assessors reduced his total by only s2,400. This he con- siders unjust as meanwhile his build ings had considerably deteriorated. Furthermore, he says he receives lit tie of value from the town in return from the large taxes he pays, one of his grievances in this respect be- ing the poor condition of the roads. A. V. Frost also asked reconsidera- tion of his assessment In his return he placed a. valuation of s12,000 in his garage. $3.0OO on furniture and $2,000 on farm implements, the latter consisting of tractor, a wagon and a blow. He named no figure on the house and the assessors fixed his total at s2s,0o0. Frederick Driggs object ed to a $2,000 increase on his prop erty in Pleasant Valley, and Prof. Frank Abbott to an increase of s4oo upon a tract of about 20 acres in the hometown section. Other appellants were the Misses Isabelle and Jennie Mcdonald and William A. Lounsbury,
 the latter's grievance being an In crease of $500 on his farm property. The board hold their next meeting on
 the 14th.
