FRENCH PEOPLE ARE
PAYING UNUSUAL TAX
1S3 Persons in Country Have
Incomes of 100000
Francs or Over

PARIS. Oct. l0-The French peo-
pie are paying many unusual taxes
as a result of the heavy burdens inn
posed by the war. The Ministry of
finances states that there are 1873
persons in the country who have in
comes Of 100000 francs or more.
Taxes are collected on all and any
paper used in the transaction of cur
rent business in France. The little
revenue stamp is ever present on
checks. invoices, promissdry notes,
bills receivable, bills of lading re-
ceiPts.
If one desires to travel to Nice or
10 any other points in France besides
paying $50 percent more for his fare
than he would before the war, ne
will have 20 pay 10 percent for a
government tax and a neat little
stamp on his berth ticket in the
sleeping car will cost him another ten
percent.
II he desires to send letters from
Nice to his friends IN Paris or in TO
reign countries, he will find tha;
the cost Of the former will be p
centimes instead of 10 and. for the
latter 30 centimcs, as compared with
Is before the war. Should a post
card suffice his epistolary needs, ne
will pay 20 centimes instead Of one
sou.
The waiter brings him his bill for

charge of ten percent Is added TO
the total Of the bill as government
tax. II is the last line. Tickets 10

At the race track, il he bets 100

PRESERVE EGGS IN SOLUTION
Where Sodium Silicate ls Not Handy
Lime Water Is Satisfactory and
Very Cheap.

Sodium silicate, or water-glass, is
the most convenient preservative in
which to store eggs for winter use, but
where lime is easily procurable, lime
water is very satisfactory and much
cheaper than water-glass. Lime water
is apt to roughen the shells of the
eggs slightly, making the eggs some
what less attractive in appearance
than water-glass. Directions for using
this lime water are given by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture.
To preserve with lime, dissolve two
pounds of unslaked lime in small
quantity of water, and dilute with five
gallons of water that has previously
been boiled and cooled. Allow the
mixture to stand until the lime settles,
then skim off, and use the clear liquid.
Put clean, fresh, unwashed eggs in a
clean earthenware crock or jar and
pour the clear lime water into the ves-
sci until the eggs are covered. At least
two inches of the solution should cover
the top layer of eggs. Keep the re-
ceptacle tightly covered to prevent
evaporation and also to keep all for
eign material out of the solution.
