Says File Claims For
Tax Refunds at Once

Commissioner of Internal Reve-
nue. Guy T. Helvering today called
attention to the fact that. Deem
Der 81, 1899, is the last day for fill
ing with Collectors of Internal Rev
enue claims for refund of taxes paid
under the Agricultural Adjustment
Act and claims for payment with
respect to inventories held on Jan
uary 6, 1896, of articles made from
commodities which were subject to
the processing tax under the Agri-
cultural Adjustment Act.
The time limits for filing claims
of this character originally expired
several years ago. However, dur
ing the last session of the Congress
legislation was passed which ex-
tended the filing periods up to and
including December 81, 1889. AS a
result of the extension Of the pc
RODS for filing these claims many
new claims are being filed. Claims
which were previously rejected sole
ly on the ground that they were filed
4 too late under the old time limita-
tons are being reopened by the Blu
reau for further consideration.
Commissioner Helvering express.
ed the belief that persons who have
already filed claims should make
sure that their claims adequately
protect their rights. Any claimant
the Commissioner said, who doubt,
that his claim as filed is adequate
to protect his rights should file /;
new or amended claim on or before
December 81, 1889.

Persons who own no property
other than cars need not pay the So
poor tax and 81 road tax when they
apply for car licenses the first of

bourn. The opinion pointed out that
county commissioners do not set the
poor and road tax levies until the
second Monday in August.

tributes, iced tea costs surprisingly little to prepare. In fact. it is the most economical beverage in the world except plain water. Includ- ing all ingredients iced tea can be made for about 3 cents quart a ridiculously low cost for such a grand, deliciousand refreshing drink.
 Iced Tea Recipe
 To make really delicious iced tea of just the right strength and flavor, be sure to use Salada tea. Pour one pint of fresh. boiling water over six heaping teaspoonfuls of Salada tea and allow it to stand for six minutes. Strain and pour liquid into a two quart container. While hot, add l 1-2 cups of granulated sugar and the juice of two lemons. Shake or stir the contents well until sugar is fully dissolved. Fill container with cold water. Do not allow tea to cool before adding the cold water. Serve in tall glasses with chipped ice or cubes. A slice of lemon may be added, if desired. Makes two quarts of iced tea or tall glasses.
 A sufficient quantity can be made each morning to last through the entire day. Better make a batch today and see how tempting and re- freshing good iced tea can be. Start now to enjoy the grand refreshment of this fine cold drink.

.Springtirne Dessert

Pineapple Orange Sponge is a luscious concoction! Refreshingly fruity, colorful, fluffy and light-it's just the thing to top of springtime meals or to add an exquisite touch to party fare. This gelatin dessert takes 8 little extra time and effort to prepare, but it is worth it. Here's how to go about making this extra special treat:

 Juice drained from canned
 pineapple, plus
 Orange juice to make cup

 1-2 tsp. grated orange rind
 2-3 cup irradiated evaporated

 Cook egg yolks, sugar and fruit juice over boiling water until thick ened, stirring constantly. Add gela- tin, which has been soaked in the 2 tablespoons water, pineapple and orange rind. Cool. When mixture begins to set, fold in stiff1y beaten egg whites, and milk, that has been thoroughly chilled and whipped stiff. Pour into a mold and chill to set. Yield: 6 servings.

them. Mix with an equal amount of celery, diced. and a few sliced stuffed olives. Dress first with French dressing; chill thoroughly, drain and serve with mayonraise.
 DO not wait until the last minute to prepare bread crumbs for your various recipes. Cut stale bread into thin slices. place them in ascolander, and set in a heated oven until well dried out. Then grind the dried bread in the food chop per, fixing paper bag over the opening of the chopper with rub- berband to prevent the scattering of crumbs. The crumbs will keep indefinitely if put into glass jar with tight screw-top.
 
 Do not use more butter than is called for in Q cake recipe. It is a mistake that makes heavy, crumbling texture and results in many disappointing failures. Use little less rather than more, if you must change the directions given. Also remember that butter to be used in cakes should not be rceamed just as 1t comes from the ice box. Let 1t stand for a while at room temperature, and 1t will cream more quickly and easily.

A Tempting Summer Drink


 Colorful and cooling milk drinks are mighty tempting these hot days but to be thirst-quenching they should be light and smooth and not too sweet! This Grape Milk Shake frosty and cool, vividly colorful and delightfully."- tart-is a perfect summer drink! It's a grand sugges- tion for party refreshments, or as beverage-dessert for light1hearted meals. Have plate of crisp oatmeal or sugar cookies handy for those who like to nibble while they drink!
 For best results in making this fruity connection, use a good brand of grape juice-one that is full- bodied and sweet with the flavor of sun-ripened grapes. Grape juices which are thin and too acid are not so palatable in a milk shake. Arera- tion is important, too, in making delectable milk drinks. That light foamy consistency, which is so de- sirable, comes with the miving. Either whip the drink for mo- ment or two in your mixer, or whisk to a froth with an egg beater, or shake vigorously in a roomy jar.
 Grape Milk Shake
 2 cup grape juice
 l cup chipped ice
 l cup irradiated evaporated
 milk
 Choose standard brand of grape juice. All ingredients should be cold. Mix milk clipped ice. Add grape juice and shake vigorously. If sour grape juice is used. add a little sugar. Yield: servings.
 This Grape Milk shake is rich and creamy, and very nutritious. The irradiated evaporated milk, used just a sit pours from the can, con- tributes a smooth velvety quality and at the same time provides double amount of the important milk minerals in combination with the needed vitamin D-the vitamin so necessary for the utilization of these minerals in building and main- taining sturdy bones and sound teeth. Thus, this milk-rich drink is especially good for the youngsters as well as grownups, too.

A picnic is certainly in order for the Fourth of July, don't you think? In our family we divide picnics into two groups -active and passive ones. In the former we take our food raw" and cook it at the picnic spot. In the latter we usually drive to some favorite spot, and enjoy a meal already cooked at home. Sometimes this is made up entirely of cold foods: more often we take along at least one hot dish in vacuum jug we call "Dinah". Another useful and in fact indispensable piece of our picnic equipment is pair of un- breakable thermos bottles called rom" and Jerry, one which us- nally contains hot coffee and the other iced tea. These with basket to hold all other eatableS occupy 8 special place in the pantry and are always ready to be filled at mo- ments notice. Real picnic lovers never fuss unduly over raft of eat- ables. Sandwiches, hard cooked eggs, fruit, cookies packed in jiffy and we're off. Fourth of July, how ever, calls for 8 little special fixing and we have planned the following menu:
 Cold fried chicken
 Hot Spanish rice Gin thermos jug) Buttered soft rolls, Sweet pickles
 Peach ice cream nut cookies
 Hot coffee or fruit punch
 The chicken will be fried very early in the morning, cooled thor oughly and each piece wrapped in waxed paper. The hot rice will be packed in ''Dinah" and be served on heavy cardboard plates along with the rolls, chicken and pickles. We will buy ice cream and have it pack ed with 'dry ice" so that it will keep hmard and be in good shape to serve late in the afternoon. For the eight people who will make up the picnic party we will need two frying chickens of about 2 1-2 pounds each, 1 pound rice, dozen soft rolls, 1-2 quarts of ice cream and perhaps 2 dozen cookies, or a few more if we make them quite small.
 If it is not convenient to carry a hot jug or drinks in thermos jugs, yoa may prefer to turn the buttered rolls into sandwiches to serve with the chicken. We suggest making them up when ready to serve--take along some thinly sliced ham and lettuce wrapped in waxed paper. These ham sandwiches are delicious in combination with the fried chicken. Bottled beverages can be bought in almost any spot these days.
 The Active" Picnic
 Should you wish to have an ''ac- Ative" picnic and cook your meal camp style, there are few things better than steak lunch or supper. Plenty of thin, tender steaks, soft rolls (the large round ones are nicest) crisp potato chips. few raw vegetables to take the place of salad -strips of cucumber, crisp radishes, celery and slivers of raw

INDEPENDENCE DAY FRS
By BETTY BARCLAY

No matter what happens in your home on Independence Day = visitors, callers, friends, tired paraders, picnickers = here are a few recipes that fit the occasion. Each has been so thoroughly tested that I submit it in 8 real holiday frame of mind.

Plan A Picnic For
 The Fourth Of July
Two Kinds in Order - Cook Your Food at Home or
 Cook It at the Picnic Spot

carrot are excellent. They are to be prepared for serving and chilled for several hours in ice water, then drained, packed in chilled glass jars. wrapped in newspaper to keep them cold, and packed in the picnic bas- ket. Hot coffee will probably be pre- ferred, or perhaps ice-cold beer. Fruit and cookies or small cakes finish off tip-top meal.
 A picnic of this kind calls for some sort of cooking arrangement of course. A stone fireplace is just the thing; lacking that, dig shall low trench or hole and build your fire in it, using wood to make good blaze then adding charcoal (this may be bought in bags) to make glowing embers over which to broil your steaks. An old fashioned wire broiler with long handles is our preference. Arrange two bricks or large stones. one on each side of the fireplace, to support the broiler. Broil the steaks about minutes on each side and pop them between soft, buttered rolls. Allow at least two slices of steak per portion. At home before you start, mix the following sauce: 1-2 cup melted butter, 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, teaspoon salt, 1-3 cup vinegar, IA cup lemon juice, teaspoon grated onion and a dash of red pepper. Heat this sauce in a small heavy frying or sauce pan, kept at the side of the fire and dip each piece of steak in it when 1t is done.

Then dip eggplant slices in dried bread crumbs or fine cracker crumbs, let stand for 20 to 30 minutes and fry until brown in deep hot fat. Drain on paper and send to the table at once.
