The interstate commerce law forbids
railways to charge openly or by device any
one person greater or less compensation
for any service rendered in the transpor-
tation of passengers or property than it
charges for n like and contemporaneous
service. This is one thing that this law
fOrbids II does not, however, prohibit one
company from giving 10 its patrons better
services than another. Why then patron
ize the railroad that offers the inferior
train service when for the same amount of
money you can obtain superior service
ride less number of miles and still reach
the same points. The railways entering
Wichita and offering these inducements
should be well pagronized. The Missouri
Pacific Ry(Fort Scott Route)offers such In
ducements rs mentioned above and great
many more which space will not permit to
enumerate. If you are not aware of this
fact-that the Missouri Pacific railway
has elegant train service such as the test
improved reclining chair cars and the
modern improved Pullman palace sleep
ing cars, give it trial and you will always
thereafter take the popular route. 1t is
the short line 10 st. Louis by IS miles as
we'll as to all Colorado, California and
Washington Territory points. Before
purchasing your tickets call at the city
ticket Office, 81 North Main street. Z. Z

"INDIvIDUAL PIES" are a new notion.
They are about as big as small turn

FRUIT should not stand after beng cut, it
loses its flavor as well as its freshness and
will not cook so well.
A BEAUTIFUL table-cover is made Of cream
white corduroy. 1t is lined with golden
yellow sateen and finished all around the
edge with gold-colored silk cord.
Pres should be well baked, and need an
oven at moderate heat, as too rapid baking
renders the crust tough, and the fruit Is
never so Fl re in color or favor.
HOMEMADE baking powder is made of
powdered cream of tartar, fifteen ounces Of
sodium bicarbonate, five ounces Of corn
starch. Nix thoroughly by sitting four or
five times.
OLD china needs the greatest care both in
washing and drying Too hot water may
crack it. Lukewarm water ana soft soap is
the best thing for china, and it should also
be riRsed in lukewarn water.
THs great secret of good boiled salt fish

Some people soak their fish two or three
hours and wonder why it is so hard, salt

hours, and longer won't hurt it.
AN excellent powder for polishing tin
ware can be made Of the soft white clnders
found IN coal ashes. They should be crushed
into fine powder and applied to the clean

that it poiishes without scratching the tin.
IN furnace heated houses the air often be-
comes too dry. If cloths are wrung from

If the water supply is of a suspicious
character, thoroughly boil it before using
and then place it where there is no danger
of Its becoming infected. If ice is to be

vessel or allowing the melted ice in any
way 70 enter your drinking water and thus

THERE IS FASHION even In tombstones.

for beer is so strong that they will drink
nothing else. Like many other topers, they

opportunity, and usually end their spree in
savage fights. Neither will drink beer
brewed in Connecticut. They drink New
York or Milwaukee beer.

stands six feet in his stockings standing by
the mules shoulders, just lacks two inches
of being as high as the animal, and he
