According to the finding by industrial research workers, if you use an orange-yellow light bulb on your unscreened porch at night, you won't be bothered by insects as much as you will be if the light is bluish. The investigators concluded that night-flying insects were most attracted by bright blue light, such as emitted by mercury lamps, and showed a maximum dislike for red lights. The experiments were carried out by stringing up colored bulbs to which insect traps were attached. * Need Rubber Stamps! Order at The Plaindealer.

They'll like doing it and it will ease the load on you. Baked beans are grand fbr fall entertaining and -they really make those points go a long way. They dertainly answer the need for heartiness to satisfy appetites fanned by the coolness in the air, and when served in attractive cassoroles with gay table background, "they answer the beauty requirement. If you make the beans yourself, a little pork goes a long way when it travels with other such savory foods as mustard, molasses, brown sugar, tomato, sauce ajw^ vinegar. *Bbme Baked Beans. (Serves 6 to 8) 2 caps navy beans M pound fat salt pork IVi teaspoons salt YA cup brown sugar H teaspoon dry mustard 2 tablespoons molasses 1 small onion1, quartered Yi cup catsup, if desired Wash beans. Cover with water and soak them overnight. Cook slowly until the skins burst or until just tender. Drain, reserving liquor. Place half the beans in bean pot or casserole. Bury a slice of pork in beans and ahother slice in the remaining ingredients. Add remaining beans and seasonings. Place remaining salt pork over the top. Cover with bean liquor. Cover and bake in a slow oven (250 to 300 degrees) 6 to 8 hours. If necessary, add more.liquid. Individual bean pots make serving simpler. The beans may be baked in srriall pots, or, if desired, baked in a large pot, ladled out into small pots before serving. Relax your taut nerves and forget war worries by serving a delicious decaffeinated coffee--hot or cold. If making the coffee in a percolator, it needs slightly longer to bring out the full, rich coffee flavor. Boston brown bread is the traditional accompaniment for baked beans. Slice it very thin, spread with butter or cream cheese, whichever suits your palate best. Lynn Sayt: Point Savers: Discarding leftovers is waste, for they can make many a meal, and a nice one. Use leftover meats or poultry and a combination of, vegetables, and tuck that under a flaky pie-crust for a wonderful meat saver. Remember pie crust is packed with energy value because of the shortening. Try highftquality shortening for making pastry. It is fresh and sweet, doesn't have to be kept in the refrigerator and is of a nice texture to blend with flour. To roll pie dough thin, cover board with a heavy muslin, and rolling pin with a child's white sock.

A waffle supper is another way of entertaining which can be inexpensive and consume only a few points. There are loads of things to do with waffles--either for main course or desserts. Make plain waffles and serve them with creamed chickerj or leftover veal creamed with mushrooms. For desserts, try them with berries or truit or a combination of ice cream, and fruit or berries. Walnuts in waffles make them taste wonderfully good. Serve a few tender, sizzling link sausages with these for a particularly tempting late evening snack: " ~ Walnut Waffles.

As meat shortages become more acute, cereals are once more taking their place in the American diet. Spaghetti, macaroni, noodles, etc., all belong to the cereal family and may be used admirably for meat stretchers and substitutes. Combine >them with one of the complete protein foods such as meat or cheese and you have a very satisfying, filling dish. Here's a dish fortified with grated cheese and,another protein food, eggs: Baked Eggs on«Sifkghetti.

HIDDEN TAXES AND WASTE IN GOVERNMENT WHEN WE B^JY cigarettes, cigars, tobacco, playing cards, wines and liquors, if any, we know there is a tax included in the price we pay because of the internal revenue stamp on ea-fch package. But there are other taxes we pay on these things and on all other things we buy. They are referred to as hidden taxes and they include taxes levied by municipalities, counties, school ^districts, states and the federal government. It is by no means the tax bill we receive that represents the taxes we pay. These hidden ^axes that are a portion of the price of every commodity we buy represent the taxes paid directly by all those who produce the things we buy. They are passed along to the consumer, as a part of the price he pays. that were not done all industry., would soon be bankrupt and vtr would have industrial chaos. Taxes'" are a part ,of the cost of production; just as much as:is labor: or materials or power. - A loaf of bread offers a simple illustration. The farmer raises wheat and must sell it at a profit if he is to continue producing wheat. , An item of the cost of production i^ the taxes he pays on his farm. If his taxes are $100 and his only production has been 1,000 burhels of wheat, the tax item amounts to 10 cents a bushel. That must be, and is, passed along to the maji who buys the wheat. The elevator operator buys the wheat and pays the farmer's taxes. He sells the iVjheat to the riiiller at a price that includes the farmer's taxes with the addition- of a share of the taxes of the elevator operator. It goes on from the miller to the wholesaler, the retailer, the baker. Each one adds a bit of taxes. By the time a bushel of wheat has reached the consumer in the form of bread it is possible there may have been added 25 cents, or more, to the actual cost of the wheat. That 25 cents becomes a part of the price of thejaread made^from that bushel of. wheat and the consumer pays it. Competent tax analysts estimate that\|rom 20 to 30 per cent of the price of a loaf of bread represents the taxes the consumer pays for those who produced the wheat and converted it from grain to bread. That is as it always has been, and must continue to be, if American industry is to continue to operate. When the tax fixing bodies, local, state or national, collect a high tax rate from the industrial corporations, they are not soaking such corporations, they are soaking us, the consumers. When the taxes on anything we buy -- commodities, transportation, gas or electricity-- are increased, the price we pay for the product is, and must be, increased. When taxes go down we get more for our money. We, the consumers, have a very definite interest in government, local, state and national, economics. We, in the end, must pay the cost of government waste and extravagance. It is right that we do so, if anybody must pay, but it is unfair when those who fix the taxes try to fool us into believing that we do not contribute to the tax collector. SUBSIDIES AND BUREAUCRATS OPA WAS CREATED for the purpose of controlling distribution* prifie and consumption of commodities used by the civilian population on the home front. It has full authority to specify the amount of any commodity that may be used by the civilian population. Through^ the point rationing system it regulates the amount of each commodity each civilian may have. It is authorized to, and does, fix prices that may be charged for commodities by the producer, the processor, the manufacturer, the wholesaler and the retailer. It tells the consumer what he is to pay for any com* modity. on which OPA feels it should, and does, set a price. These things being true, why does any failure to pay subsidies threaten us with runaway, inflationary prices on food products? When the farmer, the processor, the wholesaler, the retailer are told at what price they can sell and the consumer is told at what prie^ he may buy, where does the threat of runaway prices come in? The payment of subsidies, it would seem, provides but another means by which Washington bureaucrats may tell American farmers what to raise and when and how.
