SchWab ExOnerated

Proper investigation has been made
of the charge that Charles NJ. Schwab

profited financially from service rem
dered the government in time of war.
lie has been exonerated. The result is
what was expected; any other would
have seemed incredible. To think of
II man OF tremendous constructive
ability, intimately concerned in big
affairs, commanding income far be-
yond his needs. STOPPING to Petty
plundering Of the .government--$260,-
coo surely is petty from the Schwab
standpoint-is unnatural.
Some have expressed wonder that
he was overcome by his emotions, if
honest. They looked for indignation,
forcibly expressed, perhaps. His ex-
preston of emotion as we see it was
rather tribute to Mr.. Schwab's finer
feelings. 1t appears that ne did not
seek the great responsibilities thrust
upon him, was reluctant to undertake
them, in fact, and did so finally only
cut of sense of duty to his country.
Men like him are harrassed by re-
sponsibilities beyond the comprehen-
sion of. most of US. They frequently
break under the strain. Add to that
the sense of humiliation, the realiza-
ton that notwithstanding ones ut
most efforts, after sacrifice OF time,
money and strength, one Is classed al
a petty, stupid criminal might well
overwhelm man possessed of fine
se.sibilities and proper regard for the
opinions of his countrymen.
The result In another way is re-
freshing. A conspicuous example OF
the dollar a year man who gave to
his country his best, unstintedly and
without reward, has undergone the
test. He has not brought disgrace
on himself and his country and be-
clouded his associates with suspicion
The world is lin sore need OF such ex-
annples.

propriating about 100000 mors nut

Pertinent Questions
Did anyone suppose" continued
Mr. Callahan, when the order was
PASSED at the last legislature accept
ing the Blaine House, it would cost
the State nearly 100000? Did the
Legislature expect an annual cost of
III keep of about $780, 900 for this house?
Did the promoters know this and
was it concealed from the Legislature?
Did the Legislature know, when they
passed the order for the Centennial
Celebration, that it would cost the
State over 100000? Did the Legisla-
iulo know that over $150,000 would lie
spent on the Bath Ferry and taken
ft.m the Contingent Fund? Did the
Legislature anticipate the hundreds of
thousands of dollars spent without
special legislative authority on nor
NAL schools, hospital wings, r3forma-
tories and so on-ttls by the executive
department of the State withpL. any
special orders from the people: Did
anyone ever dream that the State Of
Ma ne, tn ugh ITS executive depart
ment, would spend $1,000 foc counsel
10 defend the United States against
enc of our sister states that was ask
ing for the Supreme Courts construc-
IIon of a lava sum larger than the
ON bined yearly salaries of the safe
Treasurer and the State Auditor Of
Maine?
"Bear in mind" continued Mr.. Cal.
lahan, that this was at a time when
our railroads were grooming under
their burdens; when our people were
out of work and when our towns and
cities were put to their utmost ex-
ertion to keep up with the constantly
increasing taxes Of counties and the
State. In view of this. does anyone
believe that this system of contin-
gent and so per cent. budget is a good
thing to restrain expenses and curb
taxation"
Tho Teachers Appropriation
Il wish to call attention to the ap-
preparation Of 100000 for the increase
of pay for rural teachers. I am IN
favor Of that appropriation. am IN
favor of raising the pay Of teachers
and am on record to that effect. But
l want it done in lawful way. This
went through as an emergency-the
same as many other things have gone
through as emergency If there were
an emergency, it should have been
made known in the Legislature and 40
reported In the budget. Good lawyers
in Maine are not 1oath to say that n
Is doubtful If the Governor and Coun-
Gil had the right. under the circum.
stances. to make that appropriation
as an emergency Why do we have
superintendent OF schools and a corn
OF assistants If they. cannot notify us
publicly of an emergency which must
nave existed then and should have
been made known? 1t is not so much
the tax itself as the attitude of ths

FAILURE OF SWINE TO MATE
1t May Be Caused by Improper Func- tioning of System Brought About
 by improper Feed
Hrepa-ed by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture.)

1 Hrepa-ed by the United States Depart ment of ASriculture-)
 Failure in the ability or desire of | swine 10 reproduce may be caused by i any of several conditions, say special | ists of the United States Department | of Agriculture. It may result from 1 disease or injury that seriously af- fleets or destroys the secretOry repro ductive organs. It may be caused by improper functioning of the system,
 which in turn is often brought about by unsuitable feed or faulty elimina-
 tion of waste products, or it may be due to a general lowering of body vii tality.
 There are also cases of sterility or impotence for which definite causes are difficult to find. Failure to breed quite frequently occurs in boars and sOws which have been fitted and kept in high condition for show purposes In some instances the SOW fails to come in heat, or perhaps indicates that she is in heat and is successfully served by the boar without resulting conception. In other cases the boar shows no desire to mate, or acts in effectively.
 The first step in overcoming the trouble is to find a positive cause, w examination. This should include search for physical defects, the pres ence of disease, the results of injuries, or lowered vitality from any cause
 When, from such examination, 1t appears that proper treatment will prove successful, remedies should be administered promptly. But if the cause is obscure, if there is little likelihood of correcting the defect sue ceSsfully, it is best to remove the ami nal from the breeding herd. Boars may be castrated and fitted for slaughter as market hogs Similarly. sows should be discarded when they become uncertain breeders.
 When there is no apparent cause for failure of swine to mate, experts of the United States Department of Agriculture frequently have observed a lazy or sluggish temperament These hogs generally are of the type known as "hot-bloodS." They are fat and show an unwillingness to exer- else. The tendency is more common in mature hogs and increases with age, but is frequently found in young stock. Careless and unwise inbreed- ing practices tend to produce hogs Of this type, but inbreeding does not nee eSsariIy bring about the condition.
 When the lack of sexual vigor is seen in only an occasional animal it

DRY VEGETABLES
 FOR WINTER USE
May Be Used in Cooking in About Same Manner as Fresh
 Varieties Are Employed.
GOOD MIXTURES FOR SOUPS
4ousekeeper Should Remember That Only Vegetables That Absorb Water and Cook at Equal
 Rates Can Be Combined.

(Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture)
 Various dried or evapOrated vege- tables may be used in cookery in most of the ways in which fresh materials are employed. They may find their widest usefulness, however, in soup mixtures or in the preparation of the ever popular old-fashioned vegetable boiled dinner. Drying permits the serving of any favorite vegetable combination at any and all seasons of the year.
 For those who wish to make vege- table mixture that will have the max imum food value and at the same time be as nearly as possible complete or balanced ration, the formulas used in making eyaporated soup mixtures for the British armies may serve as guides. One of these mixtures con- tains 20 per cent each of potatoes, turnips and peas, IT per cent each of carrots and beans, and per cent of onions. In another, the cOmbina- ton is 37 per cent of potatoes, 19 per cent each of carrots and turnips, 10 per cent each of onions and cabbage, and 21z per cent each of beans and peas.
 Differ From Prepared Product.
 The dried vegetable soup mixtures on sale differ principally. from these
Williams news., 1921-08-05

formulas in having in most instances larger percentage of potato, in the absence of beans and peas, and in having various minor additions, such as beetS, celery, radiShes and toma- toes.
 In making up combinations of dried vegetables, the housekeeper should re member that the mixture must subse- quently be soaked and cooked as unit, and only vegetables that absorb water and cook at approximately equal rates can be successfully com bined in a dry condition. Such mate rfalS as the root vegetables, cabbage, celery, tomatoes and onions behave alike both in their absorption of water and in cooking, according to special fsts of the United States Department of Agriculture. Any desired com bfnation can be made from them
 Dried corn and mature peas and beans absorb water very much more slowly and must be cooked from two to three times as long as materials in the list just given. For this reason they cannot be mixed with other vegetables before soaking. Instead, they should be separated, soaked, and partly cooked. Then the other vege- tables desired in the mixture. after previous soaking, may be added and the whole cooked until done
 How to Dry Vegetables
 Practically all vegetables, after be- ing sliced or otherwise made ready for the drfer, should be blanched from one to three minutes in boiling water or steam before drying. They should then be drained and spread in a very thin layer on the shelves of the drier. From time to time the trays should be withdrawn and the contents care fully stirred so the product will dry evenly.
 When thoroughly dry the product should be removed from the drter and placed in a dark airy room free from insects. Stir occasionally during the several days it Is left there to cure. Then heat carefully again for few minutes and store in tin cans, heavy pasteboard boxes, or paraffined bags. Cover tightly to exclude insects and store in a room which is warm and dry.

SUMMER CARE OF ICE
 CHESTlS IMPORTANT
We'll Made Box Requires Less
 Ice Than Poor One.
Drainage Pipe Should Be Cleaned by Flushing With Hot Water, and Keep Ice Compart rtment Well
 Filled at All Times.

Prepared by the United States Depart.
 ment of Agriculture.)
 Choose welI-made ice chest; il uses less ice than one of poor conStruc tion- It should keep a temperature ot 50 degrees Fahrenheit, or less. say spe- ciaIists in the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. Test yours with a thermometer.
 Keep the ice chest clean; wipe up anything spilled in it and, when nee essary, wash it out with hot water, using two tablespoonfuls of washing soda to each gallon of water; rinse, and dry thoroughly. Keep the drain pipe clean by flushing with hot water and cleaning with Iong-handled brush. Such cleanliness does not pre- vent ice from melting; it does save food from spelling.
 Keep the ice compartment well filed This is economy in the long run. Do not cover the ice with ice blankets newspapers, or cloth. These prevent the ice melting, but make the ice chest less cool. Do not keep foods in the ice compartment, as the melt ing of the ice is increased every time the door is opened. Do not open the ice chest doors unnecessarily. When one is opened, cold air rushes out and warm air ruSheS in. See that doors are closed tight after use, not left ajar.
 Select fairly thin dishes for ice chest storage. Thick dishes take up and hold heat. Enameled ware and ordinary glass are better than heavy Never put warm food or warm dishes into the ice box Chill water and such foods as but ter, radishes, and olives by letting them stand in the ice chest rather than by serving them with clipped ice.

Every Time 1 Sit Down to a Juicy Steak Now Give Thanks to
 TanIac, He Declares.

Every time I sit down to a juicy steak now I give thanks to Tanlac for taking me off that milk and mush diet I had to live on for a year, said Joseph R. Towns, the well-knOwn and popular proprietor of the Sanitary Meat Market, of Marshall Mich.
 T had stomach trouble of the worst sort and was going down hill so fast I thought I would have to give up my business. I was so nervous and worried I dreaded to see night come, as it meant little for me and then in the morning I was so Jagged out I dreaded to go to my market.
 ''The money I spent for Tanlac was the best investment I ever made. l never dreamed a medicine could do the work it did for me. Three bottles was all I needed to make me as sound as dollar. I never felt better or more like working in my life than do right now. I eat anything I want, my stomach is in good shape and I am brimful of energy. I sleep all night without turning over and get up in the morning as happy as a boy.
 ''Not only has Tanlac made me feel fit and fine, but I have also gained twenty-five pounds in weight. If any I think of Tanlac, let them come to me and I will be glad to tell them. It certainly hasn't an equal"
