A GREAT RAILROAD LOAN.
Chief Economic Problem of This Ad-
ministration.

Chief Economic Problem of This AID
ministration.
If the government should adopt tn,
policy of loaning to the railways fol-
term of years what they owe it anc
at the same time paying as promptly
as practical what it owes them, il
would be necessary for Congress to
make special appropriation TO pro.
vide funds with which to pay the rail
roads. Apprehension has been ex-
pressed lest Congress would be I'M
willing to make the appropriation.
Why, however. should Congress be
unwilling to make an appropriation
necessary to do Justice to the rail
ways and carry out a sound business
policy which would be beneficial to
the entire country!
For the government to loan to the
railways for a period of years the
capital invested by it in their proper
ties would be TO follow practically the
same policy that the government ac-
tually is following in not insisting
upon payment by foreign govern
ments of the principal or even the
interest upon the Sl0,00O.O00, 900
which this government loaned to for
eign governments to help its allies in
the war. Why should the govern.
ment of the United States deal more
leniently with foreign governments in
respect to money il loaned them for
war purposes than with the railroads
of this country respecting money
which in effect 1t loaned them for
war purposes.
The president undoubtedly has
great influence with Congress. If he
should outspokenly and energetically
favor policy in dealing with the
railroads which business conditions
and the welfare of the public demand
pass undoubtedly could get Congress TO
pass the legislation and make the APP
preparation necessary to carry out
that policy. II the right policy in
dealing with the railroad situation is
adopted under his administration il
will do moretto restore normaley and
than anything else that is
done. On the other hand, if the right
policy in dealing with the railroads is
not adopted the restoration of nor
malcy and prosperity will be hindered
far more than most people appreciate.

Beat the egg yolks and mix with the
sugar and add to the tapioca when
cooked. Stir in thoroughly and let the
seems to be thiekened. Remove the egg
mixture and let it cool little and then
add the egg whites beaten to a thick
roth. 1t is best to flavor it with a
little vanilla.
Rhubarb tapioca may be made by
following the recipe for apple tapioca.
substituting between three and four
cups of rhubarb peeled and cut in half
in pieces for the apple.
In any of these recipes if you use the
old fashioned tapioca instead of the
quick sort, soak it over night in cold
water. Drain it of the water in which
it has been soaked when ready to use.
A number of good buildings may be
made from canned fruit of various sorts.
To make any such dish the tapioca
should first be cooked in the double
boiler, as in the recipe for apple tapioca
allowing about half a cup to quart of
water When cooked add cup or more
of cut up canned pineapples or other
canned fruit, with sugar to taste, and
let cool.
Tapioca may be used in many ways
not known to housewives. For instance,
it makes an excellent thickener for
gravies The rule is to add two table
spoons of quick tapioca to every pint
of stock to be thickened. Then boil
until it is clear, stirring all the time.
Tapioca may be used to advantage in
cream vegetable soups. The
fact that it does not Lump readily is in
its favor
Another way to use tapioea in cook
ing is to add a full teaspoonful TO ber-
ries or rhubarb when making pie to
prevent the juice from running out and
soaking the crust

Our present law regulations provide
for certain state aid that will apply
directly toward establishment and
maintenance of standard schools. Such
aid may be classed as follows.
l. State aid for teachers salaries
from 81 to So per week.
2 State aid for repairs, etc, up to
maximum of $500 for each town.
g. Disbursement for current expenses,
varying from nothing TO possibly $50
per school.
In addition to this aid there should
be some. plan devised that would serve
as direct inducement to establish and
to continue standard schools. Such aid
should be automatically available for
every school that is standardized, BE-
simple in its administration, and be
planned so as not to exceed set, rea-

Tapioca Pleasing Dessert, Easy to

Tapioca may be made a useful ad-

its many forms take the place of spring

Tapioca buildings are very easily pre-

the modern brands of tapioca, but it is
3 mistake TO confine yourself to one sort
of tapioca pudding.
While apples may still be had apple
tapioca is a good selection. To make
this to serve six or eight persons you
will need half cup Of tapioca, which
should be boiled in a quart of water with
pinch of salt in double boiler for
about twenty minutes. Have ready
about six apples, preferably sour apples.
Peel, core and quarter them and place
in abaking dish with cup of sugar,
dash of salt, few small pieces of but
ert and cinnamon or nutmeg if children
are not going to eat the pudding.
When the tapioea is boiled pour it
over the apples and set this in the oven
and cook until the apples are done

use plain cream or top milk, but no
