On one of my first excursions in-our <ttw car, writes a correspondent. I stopped at the grocery with my ear parked with the back toward the store door. 1 gave my order and told the clerk That 1 would be back fro get my th'ngs in a very few minutes. - A.s 1 stepped Into the car, my best •■lean" came down the ‘street, and anxious to show him how .well I could drive, 1 hurriedly threw into gear. T. meed the engine and let the cluteh •out to get a quick pickup. it proved to be a wonderful one, as 1 had thrown into reverse and founu myself tn the doorway of the grocery •store. I had gone over the curbing and all, breaking tbe window as I bumped into the store. The grocer hurried out, and when tie saw who It was, “Well,” he said, "you have proved yourself a woman of your word, but it will cost, you the price of a new show window.” Most men will tell you that a good name is better than riches—hut they keep right ou hustling. Prosperity lias ruined more men tlm:i adversity—but that kind of ruin ,1s so much more delightful. ■ COULDN’T TAKE HER IN CUP “Honey” Was What the Youngster Was After, but Not in Quite Such a Generous Quantity. Tommy Brown had not studied pel manism and his brain was like a sieve, When his mother told him to take a cup to the grocer’s and get It filled with honey he heard what she said; but when he got to the grocer’s he forgot what he had come for. The grocer named one article after another in the good-natured attempt to refresh his memory, but all to no avail. Then he turned to his plump wife and said: “Honey, can you think what it might be?” “That’s it; that’s it!” cried the boy excitedly. “Honey ! But, look here," he added, eyeing the buxom lady “you’d better put her on my back and let me take her that way, for the-cup wouldn’t hold her.” From Bad to Worse. “I don’t find so many people borrow lug umbrellas a«d forgetting to returr them,” remarked the observant citi zen. “I belieue the umbrella borrower wai a less expensive friend,” rejoined tin man who is always longing for th< ' old days. “W’hat you’ve got to lent now is a taxicab fare all the way t( the suburbs.” That Wholesome Table Drink Postum Cereal gains new friends right along because of its pleasing taste healthfulriess, and savir^in cost Postum Cereal is delicious v/hen properly made: boil -fully fifteen • minutes after boiling begins. The more you boil Postum Cereal the better it is. I ..—♦—»— How to Reduce Taxes. ——-TT_T^.TTr- . -. —————, From the Indianapolis News (Republican.) If all the federal taxes to which objection had been made were re pealed tomorrow the people of the-United States would still be paying al most $1,000,000,000 for preparation for future wars. Out of every dollar taken from the citizen 78 cents goes to the army and navy, pensions, inter est, etc., all these items being chargeable to wars past and to come. We Shall next year spend almost four times as much for war purposes as for purposes of peace. Seventy-eight per cent, of our total expenditure* is war expenditure. And we have not yet reached the limit. Congress at its late session appropriated $855,956,96^ for army and navy, which is practically the same as the amount appropriated for the civil side of the government, exclusive of the postal appropriation. As long as other nations arm for war we must do the same, but we should think the the people, who are complaining of their tax burdens, would be somewhat startled by these facts. We arc spending $855,000,060 a year for machinery and equipment to be used by "our boys” in foreign wars, and challenging other nations to provide the same machinery and equipment with which to kill our boys. Every resident of the United States including children and babies, pays, or some one pays for him, $8 a year for big guns, rifles, battleships, ammunition, explosives, etc. Such is the enormous cost of insurance against future wars. The matter is one that should have a keen Interest for business men. They and all others bore this burden uncomplainingly and cheerfully when it was realized that it was unavoidable. But now men are asking—or should be asking—whether there may not be a cheaper and more effective insurance. If there is, Bound business sense will demand that it be adopted. The League of Nations strikes directly at this great evil. It is recognized by the members of the league that "the maintenance of peace requires the reduction of national armaments to the lowest point consistent with na tional safety and the enforcement by common action of international ob ligations.” The council is charged with the duty of formulating "plans for such reduction for the consideration and action of the several govern ments.” There is the following provision: The members of the league agree that the manufacture by private enter prise of munitions and implements of war is open to grave objections. The council shall advise how the evil effects attendant upon such manufacture can be prevented, due regard being had to the necessities of those members of the league which are not able to manufacture the munitions and implements of war necessary for their safety. The members of the league undertake to in terchange full and frank Information as to the scale of their armaments, their military, naval and air programs and the condition of such of their in dustries as are adapted to warlike purposes, A permanent commission is created for the purpose of carrying on this disarmament program. In view of present conditions it surely would be worth while to try this method. By employing it we might cut down very considerably the 78 cents now devoted to war, and thus greatly relieve business and the people. There is another cause of war that the league utterly destroys, and that is the secret treaty. Article XVIII of the cov enant provides that "every treaty or international engagement entered into hereafter by any member of the league shall forthwith be registered with the secretariat and-shall as soon as possible be published by it,” and that "no such treaty or international engagement shall be binding until so registered.” With each nation knowing what the other nations were doing in the way of preparedness, and each familiar with all the treaties that bind the others, the chance of war, disregarding all the other provi sions of the covenant, would be greatly lessened, and our tax bills ma terially reduped. JUacfe <Sasy l (National Crop Improvement Service.] HOME bread making is becom ing Just art However, the world loves good home-made bread, and a great proportion of our people do not live In localities where good fresh bread may be had from the baker. Most women think that bread making Is too hard work; that Is only because they make It so. Whatever their reoipe may be. they Should net laboriously knead the air out of the dough with vigorous punchings and pokings, because it Is better to fold air Into the dough, which Is a very simple process oc cupying but a few minutes. The quality of the bread depends i largely upon the quality of the flour. Spring wheat flour has long been the favorite because It excels first In the proper kind of gluten. Some wheat contains gluten which is not elastic and rubbery, and while such flours may absorb wa* ter the gluten cells do not retain the moisture, most of which Is drill* en out by baking. It Is generally conceded that spring wheat flour will make more loaves per barrel, making larger loaves of a creamy white color and fine even texture. Bnkers prefer spring wheat flour and are willing to pay a little more for It because It makes better bread and more at It. Soft wheat flour is often advised for pastry and cake, but lt6 use 1> geographical rather than always preferable. Reclamation in Japan. Robertson Scott, In Asia. Every year in Japan there are about 400,000 more Japanese to provide for. Some of the overplus of the population l must go to sea or abroad, but subsist , ence for a certain proportion has to be found at home. Marvelous as the efforts of the Jap ■ anese farmers toward land reclamation i have been, and Ingenious and far-sight ed as have been the plans that they have adopted In order to procure, conserve and transport water, often for long dis tances, there is still the possibility of in creasing the cultivated area in Japan. It Is asserted that there are available as many as 3,260,000 acres of land, most of which could be made into rice fields. The cost of doing so is the Important point. A countryside may be suitable for rice, but If the cost of bringing water and maintaining the supply Is pro hibitive to the farmer, what can be tone? Already the hills seem to be ter ln all the convenient placeg, Need • say, the cultivated area In Japan, Other countries, is constantly be ■Kxoached on by cities, towns and vinagva, marly 20,000 acres disappeared in this Mg wry year. But in the same space of flas gome 75,000 acres are re claimed. Meaning of Antwerp. From the Detroit News. The city of Antwerp received its name in a curlews fashion.

The figure fe 40 feet in height.' George Washington's Notebook. FYpm the New York Sim. The N<fw York public library, in its bulletin, announces a most interesting mahuscrlpt discovery. Somebody sent to the library an old notebook which appeared to contain a roster of the regi ments raised in Virginia In 1767 for the lrfst of the wgra between the English and the FTencbyof Canada. An exam 1 - ination of the relic by Victor Hug Faltsits, keeper of manuscripts in th library, proved not only that the roste was genuine but that it was written b! George Washington. Colonel Washing ton's notes, made in that period of hll life which lay between his defeat al Fc-ft Necessity and his victory at Fori Duquesne, relate principally to mil I tar] affairs. But as an example of Wash ington’s spelling, punctuation and cap Utilization It Is best to offer the longesl Item In the book.
