QUICKLY MADE HOT
WEATHER DESSERTS

have recently written upon
the wisdom Of serving more SAL
ad meals in hot weather to save
the housekeeper from hEving to
bend over her stove Ito say
nothing Of the benefit her fami-
ly will derive from eating enough
cooling and delicious fruits. vege-
tables and lettuce in this way).
Now l wish to say few words
about easily made desserts for
warm days. The following din
ner menus contain such desserts:
Chops.
Potato-O Salad
Wholesome Bread
Coffee Grapejuice Cup
Grapejuice Cup: ut will pay
the housekeeper to buy a bottle
Of grape juice and keep 1t In her
refrigerator to serve especially
with this dessert, which will be
a favorite with the family. Slice
ice-cold bananas thinly into small
glass lemonade cups and add
either diced grape fruit. oranges
or pineapple. Pour the cold
grape juice over all and serve.
There Is "brace" in this dessert
when served on a hot evening,
at dinner. -.

Iced Coffee
Pineapple with Custard Sauce
Pineapple with Custard Sauce:
Place a slice Of either fresh or
canned pineapple on individual
dessert plates and pour over each
slice custard sauce made as
described below:
Soft boiled custard may be
made in large quantity and
kept in a jar in the refrigerator,
to use on successive days with
different fruit combinations. This
will enable the housekeeper to
get up attractive desserts in q
few minutes, and the custard will
be deliciously cold when needed.
To make a large quantity. scald
1 quart of milk in the top of a
double boiler. Beat 4 eggs and
add to them Ia teaspoon of salt
and tablespoons of sugar. Add
enough water to teaspoon OF

MISDIRECTED ENERGY.

Instead of an assault upon capital and an eff
fort at its destruction being INDUCED in by those
who are irritated by it's abuses, their energies
should be directed toward ferreting out and stop
ping the methods by which the public is exploited
Capital is as essential to our economic well-be-
ing as labor. To attempt to abolish it would pull
down our economic house heads. Such talk
is suicidal.
The trouble is that the exploers of the people
sit up nights devising ways and means Of trans
ferring the surplus of industry from your pockets
to theirs. Instead of getting up early to check
mate and foresta these plans. the exploited quite
mildly excorates capital for the msdeeds of the
exploiters and let's it go at that.
To illustrate: the American public looks with
complacency upon the stock exchanges of our
cities. We indifferently allow buying and selling
countenance the greatest gambling system the
as a snged cat to a Bengal tiger when compared
to modern stock exchanges.
BY its methods an inside clique can manipulate
the prices of stocks and bonds and live stock and
agricultural products. practically at their within.
farmer works hard all summer to raise crop Of
corn The manipulation takes the profit by a
simple twist of the wrist.
If this clique is not taken roughly by the collar
by national legislators and made to repent and
reform, its members will have all the money there
Is in the country very presently. This and other
means for the painless extraction of the surplus
wealth Of the public, must be curbed.
The trouble with those who would destroy all
capital is that they would prevent crooked horse
by destroying all the horses in the world.

At first the wheat market show

more or less to correct anticipation
that the government crop report

offset in a measure by the advance

Scantiness of rural offerings,

DELINQUENT TAXES.

Governor Mechem has written a letter to the
delinquent tax collector of San Juan county, con-
graduating him upon his record in collecting de-
linquent taxes. That gentleman has succeeded in
collecting something like SO per cent of these past
due obligations. This achievement is so startling
in New Mexico that the governor considers It as
worthy of public commendation.
Mex Mexico's delinquent tax record is dis
grace to the state. Not the impecunious but
some of the wealthy have systematcally escaped
paying their taxes Plenty Of cases can be cited,
illustrating the fact that many of the immense
land grants have escaped the payment Of taxes.

when, all Of a sudden. there was
rustling in the bushes and the
bunny gentleman and doggie boy
saw the bad old Fuzzy Fox in the
carrot field. But. as yet, the Fox
had not seen Mr.. Longears or
Peetie.
"oh. no." howled the fox to
himself. Uncle Wiggily has been
here; 1 can see his tracks. in the
soft dirt. Well, 1t will be easy
for me to find him, and when

With that the fox began to fol-
low the rabbits tracks, straight
toward the bush behind which
Uncle Wiggily and Peetie were
hidden.
"Oh, he's coming after u.s."
whimpered Peetie.
Keep still and perhaps he may
pass by" whispered Uncle Wig
gily.
But the bad Fox came on and
on, closer and closer. Then Peetie
had a bright idea.
Uncle Wiggily," softly said the
doggie boy. II have my Indian
bow with me, and can shoot
that Fox"
but you have no arrows" said
the bunny uncle.
1.-THE sharp pointed carrots will

went on Peetie. ''I'll cut the top
off a carrot, aim it at the Fox,

Longears.
The Fox was coming closer and
closer. Petite nibbled the green
