water as possible should be used
to prevent burning, for the fruit
vegetable is very juicy of itself.
Adding other materials to rhu-
barb makes it possible to obtain
dishes of increased food value
Rhubarb combines excellently with
almost any other fruit beside the
foodstuffs commonly used with
fruits.
The extra materials can be chosen
to make up for the lack in the rhu-
barb. For example, adding raisins
to stewed or baked rhubarb adds
iron to the dish and increases its
efficiency.
Good in Frozen Desserts
Frozen desserts, hot or cold pud-
dings and gelatin dishes are deli
cious made with rhubarb. Well
sweetened rhubarb sauce is good
with rice and cornstarch buildings
Always add sugar to rhubarh
sauce when removing from the
fire.
AS "Stretcher" ana pecun me
dunn in the making of jellies and
Jams, rhubarb is invaluable through
out the entire canning season.
The first rhubarb usually has g
very tender skin and if well washed
need not be peeled.
When cooked with the skin on it
has delightful pinky color AS
the season advances the skin grows
tough and should be removed be-
fore cooking.

Rhubarb Is
Valuable as
Spring Food
BY SISTER MARY
NEA Service Writer

Rhubarb comes so early in the
season, when fresh fruits are scarce
in most sections Of the country,
that the up-to-date housewife is on
the lookout for ways to use it in
her spring menus.
Aside from its pleasantly tart
flavor, which stimulates the appe-
tite, rhubarb is good source Of
important food elements.
Phosphorus, that constituent
necessary for strong teeth and
sound bones, and vitanin c are
present in this fruit-vegetable.
Some people object to rhubarb
on account Of its acidity. While
the leaves do contain some oxahc
acid and should not be used, the
stems contain only a very small
amount and after cooking the acid
content is nil.
Don't Overlook Rhubarb
Care should be taken not to
overlook rhubarb. Vitanin G is
destroyed if subjected to too great
heat for too long time. AS little

Gas Tax InnuirieS

Governor Leslie proposes to investigate the
ner in which taxes being collected on gaso-
line That is fine, and a step forward.
Some two years ago his attitude when vast frauds
were disclosed, different that the change of
mind is an encouraging sign.
At that time protest was made when group
Of violators settled with the state for small per-
centage Of their frauds and the filling stations OPP
Grated by them turned over to political and
personal friends Of those in authority
True under the present auditor, there have been
large increases in collections and many former
ators have been forced to pay But if there any
frauds undiscosed, perhaps the cooperation of the
Governor may help. The tax should be uniform if
dealers are to be protected against unfair competition
and the public receive its full share of the tax.
The Governor might in time, come to the con-
clusion that other Investigations necessary and
provide for them from his emergency fund.
An investigation into the cost of cleaning the
statehouse, paid for from his own emergency fund,
might be proftably pursued Fairly conducted, this
should include inquiries to what Indiana citizens
offered to do the work for, what a fair price
should have been and how it happened that foreign
corporation received over 100000 for that work
The precedent of investigation may be even more
useful in the future when the difficult job of
enforcing the chain store tax gets under way.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE
Chicken Pox Is Highly Contagious

most cases of chicken pox, however,
the soaring is not serious.
The chief trouble with chicken pox
is the fact that the spots itch and
burn. Doctors prescribe various
types of lotions to use on the spots
that itch.
Children can be prohibited from
scratching by putting a splint on the
arm, which will prevent bending the
arms at the elbow joint. This will
keep the child from scratching its
face.
Smallpox differs sufficiently from
chicken pox for any competent
physician to be able to tell the diff
ference in most cases. In some long
observation is necessary.
AS DR.. Bauer emphasizes, a fail
ure to distinguish promptly be-
tween smallpox and chickenpox may
be extremely serious. Smallpox
spreads rapidly and may be fatal.

Just Every Day Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

Is unfortunate but true that experiences color
our opinions, For this reason it is very hard to
regard without prejudice questions that involve the
relationship of men and women in love marriage
and parenthood

OF husband is likely to judge all men by his short

the same manner to care and affection

some of the outburSts which followed recent suo
gestion in this column that wives who behave in an
lnfantile way might be the better for little spanking
The mlSSiveS from the ladies were violent and in

have miStreated his wife, else she could not have
been selfish with their child

More Taxes

Republican leaders in the senate finally have be-
come convinced that increase in federal taxes is
unacceptable.
Treasury Secretary Mellon told them that the
deficit for the current year would approximate two
billion dollars, and could not be met except by the
issuance of additional bonds. Chairman Reed Smoot
of the senate finance committee held a lengthy con-
ference with President Hoover so it is assumed the
position of the leaders is also that of the admins
tration.
Tax increases are regrettabe, and particularly so
at this time 1t is sensible to face facts however and
the administration heretofore has been unwilling to
do this 1t has avoided the issue while expenditures
increased, revenues declined and deficit piled up
which would have driven the government of any other
country from power.
Current bills have been met through the easy
process of issuing bonds and passing on to future
generations the burdens of settlement
This method obviously could not be continued in
definitely. Revenues have shrunk until they now
amount to only about half of expenditures. bust
revival beyond the expectations of even the most
optimistic would not provide tax adequate
for this year next.
Economies which the administration thus far has
been able to enforce will meet only fraction of the
deficit And there will be unusual demands at the
coming session of congress- 1t is sound and neces-
sy business to take steps to make the books balance
Now the question will be what form new taxes shall
take.
1t is just that those who able to pay must pay,
and this higher Surtaxes, higher inheritance
taxes, and revival of the gift tax. If sales tax
proves also necessary it should be- limited to luxuries
and semi-luxurieS
Congress- framing new tax legislation will have
en- eye on the concentration of wealth in the hands
OF few, which many students of the problem blame
in large part for current troubles Taxation is
one way of bringing about more equitable distribu-
ton of wealth upon which depends mass purchasing
power and national prosperity.

Peoples Voice

Editor 'Times-In last Saturdays
Times, three dynamic, penetrating,
articles appeared that every one
should understand fully. Their
message goes to the cause of pres
ent difficulties. I refer to Thin
Skin," Playing with Fire, and
Brouns articles. 'Tis most unfor-
tunate they were not written three
years ago.
You know, sometimes, Scripps-
Howard papers are given credit for
electing the Miracle Man" in spite
of the fact that the truth then was
known by many people.
May we suggest to any one who
doubts these articles that they read
the Washington Merry Go-round,"
THE Strange Death Of President
Harding" and Mirrors of 1892" and
then have a talk with correspon-
dents at Washington, D. G.
These with knowledge of the ad-
ministration at Washington for the
last ten years will set forth the
causes of the greatest panic this
country ever has experienced.
Panics do not Just happen"
Our government is a democracy.
Is it carried on by the people, either
in state or nation today? Never be-
fore has the welfare of the people
been so ignored. One only needs to
follow the conduct of our state
commission and the utilities in our
state to see the truth of this state
ment.
Your fight against these is most
commendable. The people should
see to it that their welfare is con-
sidered. When these powers, with
the assistance of the Governor, over
ride, without fear, our wishes it IS
time to act. Impeachment is in
order. The original act under which
the commission operates hardly Is
recognized in their decisions. The
Governors appointments are slap
in the face.
The utilities, through consent OF
the commission and the Governor,
take more unearned money (dole)
out of the pockets of the people
than any other item Of living cost
today. 1t would go far toward help
ing through the panic. When utili-
ties unit rate charges should be less
than S cents, and yet allow insult
a fat income, even for campaign
purpose, the people should force the
issue, though it meant a complete
change of officials.
No help comes from Washington
in this respect. There, our govern
ment has Become one Of committees.
The minds of the appointees must
be like unto that of the Miracle
Man" These with Eyes" Cabinet
is our democracy today.

IT is much easier to organize a
Il third party in this land of the
free and home of the brave" than
it is to put one over.
The last third party to survive
was the very same which now is in
control Of the government.
There have been many splits, bolts
and movements since the Republic
ans presented themselves as a ma
tional organization under the lead
ership of John G. Fremont, but none
has lasted for more than an election
or two, and none has captured the
country.
The most formidable effort to
form a third party since the Civil
war was that of the Bull Moosers
twenty years ago, and it resulted in
nothing, except the election of
Woodrow Wilson.

Nothing Can HeIp

IT is hard to believe that average
L citizens realize how dearly ma
chine rule has woven itself into the
political system of this country, how
it has diverted the original object
of that structure, how it has not

nigh impossible to get rid of them.
AS between the parties, we have a
fair degree of Democracy, but within
them, there is very little.
Direct primaries and other in

popular will have not helped very
much. Nothing can help very much,
