Nutritional Benefits Of
Liver Responsible For
Present Day Popularity

II doesn't seem possible that only q
few years ago liver was discarded as
unfit for use. It's an old story that
those who did learn to like this 1ine
Favored morsel were ashamed 70 puy
4 for fear some neighbor would over
hear the order being given. Well, the
story goes that some one discovered
the benefits derived from fine piece
Of liver, so the price went up and II
was accepted into the homes OF one
and all.
Calves liver, though the most ex-
nensiye, is the best to use as it is ever
so much more tender and fine flavor
cd. Similar to so many American
dishes. we find liver served fried IN
nine out of ten cases. Fried liver and
bacon! It does sound good but what
a uity that occasionally, little more
time isn't taken in the preparation
thus producing something as tempting
as the following:
LARDED CALVES LIVER
2h pounds calves liver, whole
Bacon for larding
1 carrot, diced
A little parsley, chopped
1 onion, sliced
n pound butter
1 bay leaf
8 cloves
1 pinch nutmeg
Bouillon
" cup cream
III tablespoons flour
Salt and pepper :,
Skin the liver and lard it with
y bacon; sprinkle with salt and pepper
and fry quickly until light brown IN
the butter. Remove the liver from
the butter, add the flour, onion, carrot
and chopped parsley and all the spices
and FRY in the liver butter for awhile.
Add the cream. Put the liver back in
the pan, add enough bouillon to cover
the livev. cover and bake 11s hours.

FA r M RS PAY
TAXES in full measure,
because their property
is land, hic h can
neither be carried out of
the State nor hidden
from the assessor. If
other people escape,
then the farmers have to
pay more. In 1887 the
State of Maryland re-
ceived in whiskey excise
taxes alone, $2,OOO,OO
This was $4,000, 900 tina
the State did not collect
prior to 1888 and is
100000 that the
farmers, and other bust
ness men, did not have
to pay last year. Nobody,
in fact, had to pay it,
because it was a tax on
a luxury which nobody
was compelled to buy.
But it helped to tighten
the farmers burden,
just the same.

Monument to Camel Driver

In the desert badlands near
Quartzsite. Ariz., stands a monu-
ment Of colored quartz and petrified
wood inscribed to Hi jolly" And
thereby hangs a story from a curl
Gus chapter in the history Of the
u. S. army. Many years ago, when
the army was active in western ex-
pansion. Someone was inspired to
start a camel corps for patrolling
the desert. Seventy-four Arabian
camels and one Syrian camel driver
named Hadji Ali were imported.
Though the idea at first seemed
sheer inspiration, 1t failed for sew
eral reasons, the two chief ones be-
ing that the camels developed sore
feet from sharp stones in the bad
lands" and that prospectors mistook
the strange beasts for apparitions
and continually sniped at them.
Eventually the camels were re-
leased to wander in the desert. Had
j Ali. whose name became Amer
icanized into Hi jolly. remained In
the desert with the memory Of his
departed camels. Thirty.three years
after his death, the monument was
erected by the state Of Arizona.

prizes, guessing contests and simi-
lar activities. gn
The law is probably stringent.
It probably goes too far-so far
that 1t becomes restriction on
many forms of legitimate adver-
tising. The grocer cannot advertise
in your paper that he is giving q
prize for guessing nearest the
number, Of beans In a jar. The
merchant cannot advertise in mail
ed newspapers a drawing Of mer-
chandise prizes even though no
purchase Is required. An advertise
ment in a newspaper offering a
prize to the first fifty women to
enter a store can be penalized-
and we mean penalized!
We see numerous advertisements
that break 6O1. A Nevada news
paper gives away a Chevrolet, uses
a page advertisement to solicit
subscriptions at special rate, in
cluding a chance to win the car via
the coupon drawing system. This
Is plainly contrary to the law.
We doubt whether the "Appre-
citation Days" advertised in Paci-
fic Coast newspapers would get
by section 60d. In this case coupons
are given by merchants with pur-
chases of goods. These coupons are
deposited in q treasure chest" and
a drawing Is held. This drawing,
it seems to us, represents offering
prizes dependent in whole or in
part upon lot or chance" From
The Pacific Printer and Publisher.

Gray Thrush Flies High;
Solitaire Lofty Dweller

In the high mountains Of the west
ern states, where the Douglas frs
grow far apart on the sides Of the
broken granite slopes, a gray bird
flies quietly through the scattering
woods and alights on the upturned
roots of a fallen tree. After a few
minutes 1t deserts its perch to catch
an insect in mid-air, much as do the
bluebirds Of the plains below. 1t Is
a Townsend's solitaire, a bird re-
cluse Of the mountain solitudes,
writes Ruth Wheeler in Nature mag
azine.
The solitaire is a thrush and one
Of the loftiest dwellers Of all the
thrush family. There Is an air Of
mystery about these birds that fit
quietly and unobtrusively through
the mountain forests. They never
60 In fiocks but seem to live to them
selves. satisfied with the vast ex-
panse Of the upper world that Il
their kingdom.
Just as wild and full Of romance
as the region in which he lives Is
the song Of the solitaire. He usually
pours out his melody in a clear,
ripping, penetrating warble from
the summit Of q high stub. This
full, free song is the very spirit Of
the forest. the granite crags, and
the tumbling mountain streams.

ceipts for 1898 from both sources
increased only 1896, ,S09.35.
Motor vehicle license fee re-
ceipts for 1898 were ,132,686.47 as
against $8,6O5, ,731.78 for 1887, or an
increase of $3.50, ,953.69.
Gasoline tax receipts OF the
Highway department for the year
1898 were $1d, TT, ,26264 as against
$11 ,338, ,406.98 for 1887, or an in
crease of only $438, 8,855.68. despite
the fact that the four-cent gas tax
was in effect for the full year of
1888 and for only part Of 1887.
Although gasoline consumption
increased slightly In 1888, the
small increase in revenues for
full year over those for a part year
in 1887 Is due to the fact that the
1887 Legislature shortened the time
allowed gasoline companies for re-
porting and paying their gasoline
taxes. This resulted in virtually
bringing in during 1887 between
one and two months of gasoline
taxes which otherwise would not
have been reported until 1888.
These figures represent the
actual receipts Of the Highway de-
partment rather than the collect
ions reported by the OIL Inspection
Bureau. These collections, some
two million of which must be re-
funded on exemption claims and
third Of which are allocated to
the counties, are frequently con-
fused with Highway department
revenues for use on the trunk
highway system. Actually the
State Highway fund only receives
about 60 percent of the total gaso-
line taxes collected.
Despite the failure of gasoline
tax revenues to meet expectations,
the state has been able to make
available to the 81 counties a total
Of $11 100000 in gas tax allotments
during the biennium of 1888, as
against $6,9O0O00 allotted for
county highway work during the
biennium Of 1856, or an in
crease Of $4,40O,OOO.

STATE GAME FARM GETS
NATIONAL RECOGNITION

Recognized as the leading game
farm in the United States, the
Carlos Avery, new Minnesota
plant located in Anoka county is

The Fort Benning game preserve
and the connected game farm are
the only such game breeding plants
under the direction of the army
anywhere in the country, and the
commission members and mana~
gers are interested in inspecting
what Is recognized as the out
standing game bird breeding plant
in the country and learning Of the
up-to-date methods in use here.
Capt. Kyle is a member of the
Fort Benning Game and Fish
Commission, and in general charge
of the game farm and preserve. 1t.
Fischer Is in direct charge Of the
preserve, while Sgt. Smith has dir
ect charge Of the game farm and
propagation facilities
Arrangements for the visit were
made with Conservation Commis-
sioner Herman G. Wenzel and
Harry e. Speakes, director OF

Bu0yed Up by Air

When you weigh yourself on a reg.
ular platform scales with brass
weights on the arm Of the scales,
both you and the weights are buoyed
up by the air; but since the body
occupies eight or nine times Al
much space as do the weights. this
lifting effect 10 correspondingly
greater on the body than 1t Is on the
weights. Archimedes Is said to have
jumped out Of his bathtub crying
Eureka" when he discovered that
q body immersed In fluid Il buoyed
up by an amount equal to the weight
of the fluid which It displaces. The
buoyance effect Of a given volume
Of lighter warm air win be less
than that exerted by the same VOL
ume Of heavier cold air.

Earliest Corn Grown in
Peru, Scientists Report

Corn on the cob first appeared in
the damp savannahs Of South Amer
lea and attained its present form
under cultivation by the farmers Of
prehistoric Peru. the National Acad-
emy Of Sciences reports.
The origin Of maize, or Indian
corn, long has been puzzle to bot
anists and archeologists. 1t was due
to a single gene mutation from q
wild form Of pod-corn, in the opin-
ion Of agricultural botanists.
Maize, no longer found in a wild
state, must originally have had "the
two essential characteristics" Of
pod-corn to survive in the wilder
ness. These are protection for the
individual kernel and a means Of
dispersal Of the seed.
Troubled by the total absence Of
wild pod-corn in Peru. the greatest
center for cultivation Of maize, the
scientists looked long before they
discovered evidence that it must
have grown there in very ancient
times. In the Peabody museum at
Yale they found a faithful replica Of
a prehistoric ear Of pod-corn Of Pc
ruvian workmanship.
Their conclusion was that Peru's
able farmers : soon cleared their
maize fields Of the undesirable pod
corn. which appears abundantly in
Central America, where the Indians
were less civilized and less careful
Of the purity Of their crops.
