then lower the heat so cake can cook
in very slow oven. Chocolate will
Scorch easily. If the cake is baked
in two thin layers, it will need about
25 minutes. If in one layer, a little
longer. Test by tapping the top with
the finger, if cake is done there will
be no mark left.
Ice with white icing made by beat

the management Of military OPP
erations.
"But, as soon as the Armis-
tice had been signed and it was
clear that the war was over,
Congress acted as a restraining
influence uopn the executives.
In the first year after the sign
ing of the Armistice, Congress
cut 81, 500,000,000 out of the de-
mands of the executive depart
ments. In the next year they
cut out a billion dollars. The
present Congress has not yet
made it's record of appropra-
tions but there is every indica-
ton that expenditures authorlz-
ed will be farless than the
amo UNITS requested by the ad-
ministrative branch OF the
Government. 1t is unfair and
we believe the Editor OF the
Saturday Evening Post will
admit it, on further reflection,
to charge legislators with re-
sponsibility for taxing and
spending. Congress is always
called upon to make up deficits
which the executive depart
ments have incurred in excess
of appropriations by Congress.
"But this is a miner matter.
On the whole, the Posts editor
ial is hot only sound but timely.
It is true, as stated, that, high
taxes mean loose methods and
extravagant management, IN
competent planning and waste
full execution The man who
has other peoples money to
spend is very likely to seek
means of spending rather than
saving it. A full treasury is
always a temptation, not only
to useful expenditure but use
less expenditure. An effective
means, therefore, of securing
the earliest possible reduction
of taxes is first to compel the
executive departments to reduce
their expenditures and then cut
the revenue so that there will be
no excess of funds in the Treas
ury to tempt Federal officials to
incur obligations which the pub
lie eventually must pay"

SCOUTING AND CITIZENSHIP

In general human beings may be
roughly classified into two divisions,
the kind who throw banana peels and
waste paper on the sidewalk and the
kind who not Only refrain from such
acts of selfish responsibility them
selves, but pick up banana peels and
waste paper from the sidewalk and
deposit them in the proper receptacle.
1t is the difference between the spir-
it's Of good citizenship and bad cih-
zenship.
1t is the glory of the scout move
ment that it is intoxicating all over the
country the spirit Of responsible citi-
zenship il it's growing boys. Out in
Ogden City, last winter, boy scout
quietly posted himself at dangerous
ly slippery point on the street where
a great many persons had been falling
to the huge amusement of a guffawing
crowd of by-standers, warned people
Of the danger, and helped women
across. Nobody told him to do 1T. He
just did it because it was somebody's
Job ard he made 1t his, as respon-
sible citizen.
Another significant little story is
told of a group of scouts who had
for weeks been taking care of dan
gerous street crossing near school
building, guiding smaller children
across in safety, day in and day out.
Nobody knew they were doing it, no
body asked them to do it. They were
not looking for praise from anyone for
doing it. 1t was job to be done by
somebody and they were glad to take
it on because they were scouts and
therefore responsible citizens.-Scout-
ing.

NEW INTERNATIONAL SCOUT
MAGAZINE.

At the first international scout con-
gress heiG in London last summer it
was voted to establish permanent
scout magazine, the first of which, en-
titled The Jamboree, has just been
published. The magazine IS printed
In English, French, Spanish and Ital-
ian, the same text being rendered in
all four languages.
In his introduction of the new jour-
nal Baden-Powell, founder of the scout
movement, says:
"A field of immense possibilities has
become opened to us. While, there
fore, we are building up, each for the
good of our country, our own individ-
ual national associations of boy scouts
and girl guides as school Of young
citizens, let US keep ever before us
the still greater aim of promoting the
comradeship with our brother scouts
in other lands. In this way we may
help in no mean degree to bring about
that mutual unity and good will which
will make the world an assured home
of peace, happiness and prosperity for
all.
"This journal, although starting in
a humble way, holds the honor Of be-
ing the first of it's kind, and it may
become the instrument for bringing
untold results in this direction of high
endeayOr If it receives the support
which I earnestly and confidently hope
it will receive from my brother
scouts throughout the world"

THE CURSE. OF HIGH TAXES

Washington, May 31.-"In
one of the most practical and
forceful editorials it has pub
lished in many months, the
Saturday Evening Post recent
ly discussed the very appropri-
ate subject of taxation" says
the Republican Publicity AS
ISOLATION, through its President,
Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr. "The
Importance of relieving the bur-
den of taxation in general and
of Federal taxation in particular
was pointed out in way that
will impress the minds Of all
readers. 1t is true as Editor
Lorimer says:
Everything is being deflat-
ed except taxes. Everybody is
economizing except the tax
gatherer."
"As rule, the tax gatherer
is one of the tax spenders and
naturally his viewpoint impels
him to see the necessity of high
er rather than lower taxes. The
spender of public money is i'm
pressed with the Importance of
the service for which the money
is spent. He magnifes it's value
to the pubic and perhaps sim
cerely believes that the service
should be extended rather than
curtailed. He is a constant
booster of taxes. If there is
to be any check on the raising
of public revenue and it's ex-
penditure the check must come
through the activity of private
citizens who make their wishes
known in manner that can not
be misunderstood.
"The editor of the Saturday
Evening Post is hardly correct
in his statement that, Since the
beginning of the world war, leg
islators in almost every branch
of Government have been rum
ming hog-wild, taxing and
spending, spending and taxing
1t was not the legislative branch
of Government that ran hog
wild, taxing and spending
Records will show that the
President and Members of his
Cabient during the world war
asked for enormous sums Of
money and for practically I'M
limited authority on the repre-
sentation that both were neces-
sary for the winning of the war.
With some doubt, Congress
granted practically all requests
for money or power, choosing
to give the Administration the
benevt of any doubt rather than
take the chance of handicapping
those who were charged with

TO BE A SCOUT.

He wasn't a scout, tho he wore the
pin,
For the scouting program had never
soaked in;
He claimed troop and a registered
name,
But he never had learned to play the
game.
He tied the knots and he ran the pace,
He knew the code and kept smile
on his face;
He built his fire, he boiled the pot,
But that is just as far as he got.
He learned the oath, it's parts he
knew,
But the inner meaning had never
soaked through,
For if it had and he meant what he
said,
He'd have been our pride like the
sacred dead.
You can't be a scout by joining a
troop;
It's more than a club and some to
boot.
You'll have to do something not every
boy can,
For you've got to begin to be a man.

The Home of the Soul
In olden times, it was believed that
the seat of the soM was the stomach,
most likely for the reason that a man
is never so completely used up as
when his stomach is out of order.
For the cure of ordinary stomach
troubles, there is nothing quite so
prompt and satisfactory as Chamber

stomach and enable it to perform it's
