FOR CHANGE TRY EEGS IN PLACE OF MEAT EQUAL BEEF IN PROTEIN, AND ARE RICH IN IRON AND PHOSPHATES GOVERNMENT EXPERTS GIVE ELEVEN RECIPES FOR USING FRUIT OF THE HENNERY With eggs returning to normal prices again, they afford a welcome and healthful change in the diet. In any of the following recipes suggested by the United States Department of Agriculture, they may be used in place of meat in the meal. Eggs are much more easily digested if time is taken to cook them very slowly. Steamed Eggs Butter slightly the bottom of custard cup and slip an egg into it. Place the cup in a pan of gently boiling water (water should come half way up side of cup); cover and steam until white of egg is done. Steamed eggs may be served on crisp toast if desired. Poached Eggs and Tomato Sauce Allowing ½ teaspoon of salt to 1 quart of water, have a shallow pan two-thirds full of boiling water. Break each egg separately into a saucer and slip them into the water. Cook as for poached eggs and serve with the following sauce: 2 cups canned tomatoes and 1 slice onion, or 1 cup tomato sauce. ¼ teaspoon salt. creamy consistency. Place on a hotter part of the fire and allow to brown quickly underneath. Bring all together at one side of the pan and carefully slip it out on a hot platter. Garnish and serve while hot. Spanish Omelet Mix and cook a French omelet. Serve with tomato sauce in the center and around the omelet. Tomato Sauce 2 tablespoons butter. 1½ tablespoons onion. 1 cup tomatoes. Cayenne ½ tablespoon capers. 3 tablespoons mushrooms. ½ teaspoon salt. 2 tablespoons flour. Brown onion (finely chopped) in butter and flour. Cook the tomatoes with the onion for 15 minutes. Add the capers, mushrooms and seasoning. If desired substitute 3 tablespoons peas and 2 tablespoons chopped red peppers for the capers and mushrooms. Egg Souffle 2 tablespoons butter. 1½ tablespoons flour. 1½ cups milk. 5 eggs. ½ cup cream. 1 teaspoon salt. Cayenne. Cream the butter, add the flour, and gradually the scalded milk and cream. Cook in double boiler 5 minutes and add the yolks of eggs which have been beaten until lemon colored. Add seasoning and fold in stiffly beaten whites. Turn into a buttered dish, set in a pan of hot water and bake until firm. Creamed Cheese and Eggs 3 hard-boiled eggs. 1 tablespoon flour. 1 cup milk. ½ teaspoon salt. Speck of Cayenne. ¼ cup or 1 ounce grated cheese. 4 slices of toast. sition to buy pots secure it from production from the quoted. The Budget of Agricultural Administration of Amreican policy.

Break each egg separately into a saucer and slip them into the water. Cook as for poached eggs and serve with the following sauce: 2 cups canned tomatoes and 1 slice onion, or 1 cup tomato sauce. ¼ teaspoon salt. 2 tablespoons butter. 2 tablespoons flour. 1-8 tablespoon pepper. Cook tomato and onion, finely chopped, 20 minutes, then rub through a strainer. Melt the butter, add dry ingredients and strained tomatoes. Pour this sauce over the eggs and serve. Eggs in Nest Carefully separate the white from the yolk of an egg. Beat the white until stiff and pile lightly on a nicely trimmed slice of toast. With a spoon make a depression in the top of the white and slip the egg yolk into it. Place on a baking dish in a moderate oven and when the white has become a golden brown remove and serve. It may be seasoned to taste. Eggs Goldenrod 1 cup milk. 2 tablespoons butter. ¼ teaspoon white pepper. 1½ tablespoons flour. 4 hard cooked eggs. 1 teaspoon chopped parsley. ½ teaspoon salt. 6 slices toast. Melt the butter, add the dry ingredients and stir until smooth. Add the heated milk slowly, stirring constantly, and allow to come to the boiling point. Separate the yolks from the whites of the hard cooked eggs. Chop the whites finely and add them to the white sauce. Cut the slices of toast in half and after arranging on the platter, pour the sauce over them. Put the yolks through a potato ricer or press them through a strainer, sprinkling them over the sauce. Garnish with parsley and serve. Dutch Eggs 6 hard cooked eggs. ½ cup grated cheese. or cottage cheese. 1 cup white sauce. 1 sweet red pepper cut into strips. Cut the eggs into quarters and place about one-quarter of the amount in a buttered baking dish. Cover this layer with sauce, and sprinkle over it a layer of cheese; then a few pieces of the pepper. Repeat until the dish is full. Sprinkle bread crumbs on top, dot with beaten until lemon colored. Add seasoning and fold in stiffly beaten whites. Turn into a buttered dish, set in a pan of hot water and bake until firm. Creamed Cheese and Eggs 3 hard-boiled eggs. 1 tablespoon flour. 1 cup milk. ½ teaspoon salt. Speck of Cayenne. ¼ cup or 1 ounce grated cheese. 4 slices of toast. Make a thin white sauce with the flour and milk and seasonings. Add the cheese and stir until melted. Chop the whites and add them to the sauce. Pour the sauce over the toast, force the yolks through a potato ricer or strainer, sprinkle over the toast. THE VICTORY LOAN The following telegram from Secretary of the Treasury Carter Glass explaining tax exemption features of the Victory Liberty Loan Act has been received by Governor James K. Lynch of the Federal Reserve Bank: "It is perhaps not generally understood that under the terms of section 2 (a) of the Victory Liberty Loan Act, the interest received on and after January 1, 1919, until the expiration of five years after the termination of the war, on an amount of bonds of the First Liberty Loan converted, the Second Liberty Loan converted and unconverted, the Third Loan and the Fourth Liberty Loan, the principal of which does not exceed $30,000 in the aggregate, owned by an individual, partnership, association or corporation, will be exempt from surtaxes, excess profits and war profits taxes now or hereafter imposed by the United States, upon the income or profits of individuals, partnerships, associations or corporations. "Not only is this exemption in addition to all other exemptions heretofore conferred, but it is independent of any subscription to the Victory Liberty Loan, and is immediately effective. The Victory Liberty Loan Act also contains a provision authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to extend the privilege of converting 4% bonds of the First Liberty Loan converted and 4% bonds of the Second Liberty Loan into 4¼% bonds, the higher interest rate to be effective from the semi-anual interest payment date next succeeding the date of presentation for conversion. "Having recommended that this conversion privilege be so extended, I shall of course promptly cease reductions in its work.

County Farm Bureau, and has been delivered to the president of the association, Elwood B. Titus, at Mineola, Long Island. The car contained about 74,000 pounds of 33½ per cent material and was sold at $4.25 per unit, or $142 a ton. Nassau county is one of the large truck-growing counties of Long Island, and the farm bureau will probably take another carload of potash from the Summerland plant. According to an announcement issued recently by the War Trade Board, no European potash will be available before June, 1919. Therefore, reliance will have to be placed entirely on the American output for this spring. The output of the experimental kelp plant of the Department of Agriculture is not large enough to go a great way toward meeting the needs. But farmers' organizations or farmers who are in po- The Victory Liberty Loan Act also contains a provision authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to extend the privilege of converting 4% bonds of the First Liberty Loan converted and 4% bonds of the Second Liberty Loan into 4¼% bonds, the higher interest rate to be effective from the semi-anual interest payment date next succeeding the date of presentation for conversion.

These states have an area three times that of California, a combined population greatly in excess of our own and eight separate state governments to support. That report deals with 1917 only. State Controller Chambers has issued his official report of state expenditures for 1918. They total $8,000,000 more than those of 1917, on which the federal estimates are based. And the tide of expenses is still rising. The budget prepared by the state board of control and approved by the Stephens administration provides for an increase of $1,500,000 for departments and commissions alone over the budget adopted by the last legislature. Governors and politicians prate about economy. A special commission appointed by the governor to recommend reductions in state expense is now at work. But the presiding officer of that commission, when it first met, was one of the most notorious spenders of other people's money in California. One of the members has already been reported as saying that the commission would recommend that the increase—mind you, the INCREASE—in the general appropriation fund be limited to $300,000. What a ghastly joke to perpetrate upon a people who have stinted and starved, eaten the "bitter sition to buy potash in carload lots can secure it from some concerns at a reduction from the retail price at present quoted. The Bureau of Soils, Department of Agriculture, will furnish a list of Amreican potash producers on application. The state railroad commission spent $396,627 last year, notwithstanding the fact that the railroads were under United States government control, and there was no "regulating" to be done. That money went in salaries to keep in idleness more than 100 men who had they been cut loose from the state pay roll, might have been doing something useful. A more glaring instance of political profiteering has not been recorded outside Russia under the bolsheviks. Six years ago a state board of control was created to make purchases for state departments and supervise departmental expense. Its first appropriation was $50,000. Chambers' report show that this board spent $420,836 last year, and that a state purchasing department outside this board spent $124,115, making a total of $544,000. Laws passed by a legislature dominated by the 40 fat commissions make such pillage possible. Six years ago the motor vehicle department was a branch of the secretary of state's office and cost about $30,000 a year. This department has become an independent commission. Last year the cost of operation was $468,259. The percentage of cost of the collection of automobile licenses is without parallel. At least nineteenth of the expenditure is absolute waste, for every owner of a machine is compelled to send a check for his license to Sacramento before he can get a number for his car. County and city peace officers enforce the collection, but the state pays $468,259 to maintain a licensing department. When the industrial accident commission was created the electors of the state were formally assured that it would be self-supporting. But the commission is running so far behind that the legislature gave it $510,000 of tax money two years ago, and the present budget carries an item of $450,000 for Add sea-beaten dish, set make until reductions in state expense is now at work. But the presiding officer of that commission, when it first met, was one of the most notorious spenders of other people's money in California. One of the members has already been reported as saying that the commission would recommend that the increase—mind you, the INCREASE—in the general appropriation fund be limited to $300,000. What a ghastly joke to perpetrate upon a people who have stinted and starved, eaten the "bitter bread of war" and mortgaged their immediate financial future to aid in the triumph of democracy! Pillage and banditry are none the less crimes because the bandits are protected by laws of their own making. There is not, perhaps, another commonwealth in the union that could bear the terrific burden of state and local taxes that the labor and industry of California are compelled to support. It is only the unequaled wealth of soil and climate joined to an enterprise that is proverbial, that enables California to support this load and still keep its place in line. How taxes have been piled upon taxes during the eight years that the 40 fat commissions have been in the saddle is shown by the state controller himself in a comparative table that appears upon page 28 of his biennial report. He there gives the following: Expenditures: 1918 $43,008,663.07 1911 18,020,555.39 138 per cent $24,988,107.68 Receipts: 1918 $42,914,158.53 1911 17,877,175.22 140 per cent $25,036,983.31 So alarming has the increased cost become that State Controller Chambers calls pointed attention to it; despite the fact that it is not within the province of the controller to interfere in the conduct of other departments. On page 27 of his report appears the following: "The state's expenditures in 1918 were $43,008,663.07, while only $34,886,139.73 in 1917, a difference of $8,122,523.34. And this despite the fact that in 1917 such items as the cost of the legislative session that year, of legislative printing, of education, reimbursement of counties, work by the department of engineering and so on exceeded similar items in 1918 by about $2,500,000. The increase in wealth of the state for the eight-year period, 1911 to 1918 inclusive, as based license to Sacramento before he can get a number for his car. County and city peace officers enforce the collection, but the state pays $468,259 to maintain a licensing department. When the industrial accident commission was created the electors of the state were formally assured that it would be self-supporting. But the commission is running so far behind that the legislature gave it $510,000 of tax money two years ago, and the present budget carries an item of $450,000 for its support. This sum is in addition to the rates charged by the commission. It spent last year $1,554,556. While the service rendered is commendable, the cost to the state is four times what it would be if there were less political efficiency and more business efficiency in the conduct of the affairs of the commission. An expenditure of the state last year that is not easily erplainable is $567,-221 for "care of orphans, half-orphans, etc." The part of this sum that does not go to a coterie of "inspectors" is paid to private persons for the care of children who are supposed to need state aid. The theory is advanced that it is better to raise them in private homes than in public institutions. But the working of that plan is becoming, in many instances, a public scandal. Politics often play a dominant part in the selection of the persons who shall receive the state money, and the state supports the children of one household, where those of 50 other households equally deservinb receive nothing. The cost of support in public institutions was not a tenth part so great. Permitting politicians to expend half a million dollars a year in unrevealed charities is placing a high premium on graft. A straight mother's pension would be much more fair and little more expensive. For eight years we have been sounding warnings against the encroachments of the tax-eaters. We have condemned a scandalous system of political profiteering that is unequaled in the country. Members of the Tweed ring were stupid tyros compared with the plunderbund that has its grip on the finances of California. For Tweed and his gang were so verdant that they robbed the taxpayers without warrant of law, while the political profiteers of California were clever enough to get control of the state government first and enact the legislation necessary to protect them in their career of pillage. Little wonder that Lieutenant Governor Young and his satraps in the state senate have declared that there At Boston suffragists lighted a fire on Boston Common and every time President Wilson mentioned the word "democracy" a Payline Revere wrote the word on a piece of paper, ran to the Common, and dropped it in the fire. If the ladies had used the word "I" instead they would have run themselves to death and started a prairie fire on the Common. A lady bolshevik complains that a Senate investigating committee was rude to her. Doubtless her idea of real polite official treatment is what her Soviet friends did to the Czarina and her son with bayonets and bludgeons in a Russian cellar, and what they have similarly done to everybody who argues within their jurisdiction for any other form of government. Secretary Baker's apology for the military hog-wallow at Brest is that it rains so much there. His alibi for drowning the whole American army in the Atlantic would be that there is so much water there. Of course it is wet and muddy in a swamp when it is raining, but why was such a spot picked out for a camp when the soldiers could as easily have been kept at Le Mans, and transported to the harbor when ships were ready for them? HOW TO COLLECT YOUR ARMY BONUS Million and a Quarter Dicharged Men Entitled to $60 For the information of the thousands of discharged soldiers and those to be discharced hereafter who will be entitled to the $60 bonus provided for in the revenue bill now in effect, the following official statement as to the precise steps to be taken by the chec claim claim charge th The state's expenditures in 1918 were $43,008,663.07, while only $34,886,139.73 in 1917, a difference of $8,122,523.34. And this despite the fact that in 1917 such items as the cost of legislative session that year, of legislative printing, of education, reimbursement of counties, work by the department of engineering and so on exceeded similar items in 1918 by about $2,500,000. The increase in wealth of the state for the eight-year period, 1911 to 1918 inclusive, as based upon the assessment rolls of the counties, was 46.2 per cent. The increase in population is estimated at about 30 per cent. And this against an increase of 138 per cent on the part of the state government." Confiscation through taxation is well under way. The report of the state controller shows that the menace of such confiscation is steadily driving capital away from the state. The inheritance tax rates in California, like all the other taxes, are the highest in the United States. In 1915 they were given a boost upward of almost 50 per cent. That was when the state machine was hard pressed for enough patronage to purchase a United States senatorship. But when that jump came in inheritance tax rates the exodus of wealthy residents began. It was a great windfall for Florida. Despite those higher rates, the amount of revenue collected by the inheritance tax department is shrinking at the rate of $1,000,000 a year. The relation between over-taxation and depopulation is not to be disregarded with impunity, for the 40 fat commissions is not lessened by the flight of wealthy residents and every removal of a millionaire increases the tax burdens of the community. Expenses of some of the more rapa- HOW TO COLLECT YOUR ARMY BONUS Million and a Quarter Dicharged Men Entitled to $60 For the information of the thousands of discharged soldiers and those to be discharged hereafter who will be entitled to the $60 bonus provided for in the revenue bill now in effect, the following official statement as to the precise steps to be taken by the discharged soldier and the manner in which the money will be paid to those to be discharged in the future are set forth: "Section 14 of the revenue act approved February 24, 1919, authorizes the payment of a bonus of $60 to officers, soldiers, field clerks and nurses of the army upon honorable separation from active service by discharge, resignation or otherwise. This bonus is not payable to the heirs or representatives of any deceased soldier. "Those who are discharged hereafter will receive this bonus on the same roll or voucher upon which they are paid their final pay. "Those who have been discharged and have received their final pay without the $60 bonus should write a letter to the zone finance officer, Lemon Building, Washington, D.C., stating their service since April 6, 1917, the date of last discharge, and their present address to which they desire their bonus checks to be sent and enclosing with this letter their discharge certificate or military order for discharge and both if both were issued. "Upon the receipt by the zone finance officer, Washington, D.C., of this information and the soldier's discharge certificate, the officer will cause..."

It is estimated that at least one million and a quarter persons have been discharged from the service who are entitled to the benefits from this act and while payments will be made as expeditiously as practicable, it will manifestly take considerable time to write and mail this many checks. highway departments, the Bureau of Public Roads estimates the 1919 expenditures for roads and bridges at $385,000,000, or $110,000,000 more than the average expenditures for 1916 and 1917. An important effect of the law containing the new appropriation is that it broadens the definition of a rural post road, under which class a highway had to qualify in order to receive the benefits of the federal-aid act. AID FOR DOUGHNUT LASSIES FOR ROAD WORK With full State co-operation according to the terms of the Federal Aid Road Act, the United States will have a total of at least $574,000,000 for cooperative road building during the next three years. The federal part of this fund is assured by an extra appropriation of $209,000,000 in the Post Office appropriation bill just passed by congress and signed by the President. Officials of the Bureau of Public Roads, U.S. Department of Agriculture, which administers the provisions of the Federal Aid Road Act and cooperates with the State governments in the expenditure of the money, point out that this amount of funds is the largest ever appropriated for a similar purposes and for a similar period by any government in the history of the world, and that it enables the federal and state governments to carry out a road-building program of a magnitude never equaled. In connection with the great federal-aid program it is also noted that expenditures for highway work in the United States this year are likely to amount to a half billion dollars or more.
