Treatment Of Kid Shoes.

To prevent kid shoes from becom-
ing hard and stiff after they have been
wet, they must be first rubbed with a
soft cloth Immediately after removing
them from the feet, and while still
damp kerosene oil should be rubbed
in well with a piece Of flannel, repeat
ing this treatment again when The
first application is nearly dry. Then
place the shoes in warm place,
where the drying operation can be fin
ished gradually. Before wearing them
rub over once more with little kero
sene, and then apply good kid polish
in the usual manner.

FEW coon MEERscAAuMs HERE.
Americans DO Not Make or Keep
Them Right, German Dealer Says

you don't see the best meerschaum
pipes in this country" said a German
pipe dealer who learned his trade In
Vienna, to a Kansas City Star writer.
why? Because the Americans are
in too big a hurry. Haven't time to
take care Of meerschaum-haven't
even time to learn how. When the
American is through smoking he
knocks his pipe on the heel Of his
shoe to remove the ashes, shoves it in
the most handy pocket and is on the
run.
Now, in the old country, man
takes his pipe seriously-very seri-
ously. He expects his meerschaum to
last him lifetime and then be i'm
good repair to hand down to his heir.
The pipe is passed from generation to
generation and it is always handled
as carefully as a newborn babe. The
smoker never touches the bowl while
1t is warm-that would spoil the fine,
glossy color. When the German has
completed his serious and meditative
smoke his pipe is laid very carefully
away, where it will cool properly and
without danger of scratching. He
does not ram it into his pocket with
other miscellaneous articles as the
rushing American does. He takes his
time and gives it his care and atten-
ton.
THE best meerschaum pipes in the
old country are made Of soft meer-
schaum and are hand carved. Then
they are boiled in beeswax. The fine
color is produced by the wax and nico-
tine combining. When the pipe is
smoked the wax softens from the heat
That is why the pipe should not be
touched while warm. Touching mars
the gloss.
The American manufacturer does
not carve or polish them by hand. The
work is done by machines. The soft
meerschaum, If treated that way,
would break, SO hard meerschaum, a
low grade, is used. The hard clay
will not absorb beeswax, so it Is boiled
in glycerin. The most beautiful colors
cannot be produced with glycerin"

COST OF REFINING.

St. Louis, Jan. 8.-Hearing In tie

alleged combination Of the Standard,
Republic and Waters-Pierce OIL com
panies were resumed Monday befors
Special Commissioner Anthony
A surprise was sprung by the de
tense as soon as the hearing was
convened when John D. johnson,
counsel for the Waters-Pierce com
pany offered the minute book of the
Waters-Pierce company with the
statement that the respondents
would rest their case provided the
commissioner would II convenient to

neys representing the Standard Oil
company Of Indiana, the Waters
Pierce OIL company Of st. Louis, and
the Republic Oil company of Ohio
practically closed the defense to the
custer proceedings.
Commissioner Anthony gave the at
torneys for the respondents until Jan.
uary 81 to decide wether they will
offer any more testimony and the In
formants until February / to put In
rebuttal testimony.
Notwithstanding the action of the
counsel for the defendant companies
in practically resting the defense At
torney General Hadley put c. D. Web
ster, an Independent refiner Of Hum.
boldt, Kan, on the stand. He was
called to contradict testimony given
by Mr.. Moffitt Of the Standard iOl
company during a previous hearing
to the effect that the actual cost of
refining oil, not including any Other
expense, was II to II cents per gallon.
Mr.. Webster testified Monday that
one-half cent gallon was the out
side cost of refineding even the heavi-
est quality Of crude oil. He said that
refined oil could be produced In Kan
sas City, including cost Of crude oil
and refining expenses, at not over II
cents per gallon. He gave figures to
show the exact cost of producing re-
fined oil and said that while the
price of refined oil In practically all
other states is from II to IA cents
gallon, the same oil is sold In Kansas
for seven and one-half cents.
Il sell to the st. Louis Oil COM
pany at six cents gallon, delivered
here" said the witndss. II have
to pay a II cent freight rate from
Humboldt to st. Louis. If could get
the six cent rate that the Standard
gets from Whiting, Ind, to st. Louis
l could sell refined oil here for five
cents a gallon and get satisfactory
profit"
The indications now are that the
case will be heard by the supreme
court at the April term. This case
will have the precedence over all other
cases at the first sitting of the court
in banc at the April term, provided
Commissioner Anthony gets in his re-
port. In that event, decision may be
handed down early in the summer.
