To Clean Silk Gloves.

Do not try to clean silk gloves with
gasoline. but wash them very care
fully. White and black ones can be
washed in soap suds, rinsed and dried,
the white ones being dipped into blu
ing water to give them a clear white
appearance. Tinted gloves should first
be soaked in salt water to prevent the
color from. fading. If few drops
of lemon juice are added to the rinsing
water, the tints will be revived Silk
gloves can be ironed, though piece
of linen should be placed over the
gloves when they are ironed and only
moderately warm iron should be
used. Silk hose can be washed in
exactly the same manner and ironed
when perfectly dry.

MESSAGES ON EACH SIDE
OF NEW POSTAL CARDS

ment postal cards. Some months ago
the United States postal laws and
regulations were amended SO as to
give that privilege to buyers of post
cards, but such concession was not
made applicable to postal cards. To-
days ruling will remedy this incon!
sistency and so prevent further confu-
sion. A very thin sheet of paper may be
attached, if it completely adheres to
the card and such paster may bear
both writing and printing. Hereto
fore two cents in postage was re-
quired IL this was done. Advertise
ments, illustrations or writing may
appear on the back of the card and on
the left third of the front.
Postal cards bearing particles of
glass, metal, mica, sand, tinsel, or
other such substances are declared to
be unavailable, except when inclosed
in envelopes or when treated in such
manner as will prevent the objec.
tionable materials from being rubbed
off or injuring the hands of persons
handling the mails.

Dainty Breakfast Dish.-Equal parts
of toast crumbs, chopped boiled ham,
and small piece of butter. Put in
egg on top. Place in oven until egg
is just the right consistency. Slip a
pancake turner under them and re-
move to warm platter. then gently
run a knife around the ring, removing
it and leaving your muffin shaped
dainty. This may be garnished with
crisp pieces of bacon.
Quick Dessert.-Beat the whites of
four eggs, add four tablespoons sugar,
four of cocoa. Bake in pudding dish

ries, one-third cupful water, one tea
spoonful of lemon juice. Sprinkle
raspberries with sugar, cover, and let
stand one hour; then mash and
squeeze through cheesecloth to press

lemon juice and freeze.
Juicy Roast.-Heat some beef fat in
an iron pan or broad kettle. Put the
meat into it and with a fork stuck in
the fat part turn until it is a fine
brown on all sides. This is done to
keep in the juices. Put into hot
oven elevated from the bottom. Now
in five minutes you will find the top

minutes Add no water to the pan
When half done add salt and pepper
as it will tougher if seasoned before.

MOST CAREFULLY REARED

WASHINGTON.-The Russian en-
w bassy closed the season here
when Ambassador and Baroness
Rosen, with their household staff, left
for Magnolia, Mass, the other day
where they will pass the summer. The
departure of Baron and Baroness
Rosen has particular significance
at this time, as they do not expect to
return to Washington for perhaps a
year, and will sail for Europe on a
prolonged leave of absence in Oc-
tober.
They purpose passing the winter in
st. Petersburg that their only daugh-
ter, Baroness Elizabeth Rosen,' may
make her debut in that capital. This
young woman, who is just II years of
age, will be presented at court early
in the winter under particularly bril-
liant auspices.
The young baroness is a petite

A NEW departure in postal cards
"A has been decided upon by the
post office department. Beginning
August the consumer will get more
for his penny than heretofore. The
front side, for years reserved by an
inexorable rule for the address, will
be invaded by advertisements, pic
lures and messages.
Postmaster General Meyer has pro-
mulgated an order to this effect. A
vertical line will be placed about one
third of the distance from the left
end Of the card. The space to the
right of this line will be reserved for
the address, and the remaining por-
ton of the front side may be devoted
to details of how all the children are,
or any other of the things that here
tofore have been confined to the back
side.
For years people have been sending
to the United States from foreign
countries postal cards and post cards
with messages written on the front as
well as on the back of the cards, al

preliminary treaty negotiations with

Joint Rate Order Issued.


A total minimum charge or 40
cents instead of 25 cents for each
shipment over two or more railroads
has been fixed by the state railroad
commission.
II was understood at the time OF
the joint rate hearing that the mini.
mum charge to be fixed would be rs
cents. This has been the minimum
for Interstate shipments and Iowa
shippers asked the same rate for
themselves. Hitherto they have been
compelled to pay 25 cents to each
carrier. II u minimum shipment were
handled my three roads II cost rs
cents. while the interstate shipment
was but 25 cents over the same lines
and mileage.
II was stated ut the hearing that
the Interstate minimum charge would
go to 80 cents soon, but Ii has not yet.
In It's joint rate order the commits
sion announces that the continuous
mileage rate shall govern In Joint
shipments when the joint rate OF 80
per cent OF the sum OF the local tar
iffs amounts to less than the contin-
uous mileage rate.
Eighty per cent Is promulgated as
the Joint rate for the state. But there
are cases In which II would amount to
less than the continuous mileage rate
would be on the distance involved.
For instance, the first class rate for
1926 miles is 575 cents per 100 But
the rate for five miles Is IA cents
and for 800 miles 1t Is 81 cents or n
cents combined Eighty per cent OF
this would be 56.8 cents. or less than
the continuous mileage would amount
to- Hence, the continuous mileage In
such case would furnish the actual
rate.
