A man will pull his money out Of
his pocket, miss a dollar and try to
recall when and where and how he
spent it. In the same way, as he
grows older, he will occasionally count
over his friends, find there Is one less
and wonder what he did to lose him.

Expansion continues in trade and indus
rial lines, shipments over the railways
are increasing, idleness is being dimin-
ished, prices in numerous lines are high
er, collections are better, and sentiment
is brighter than it has been for twelve
months past.
In many sections retailers stocks are
badly broken, owing to conservative pur-
chases heretofore made, and as a result
requests for immediate shipments are
quite the rule.

POSTAL DEFICIT IS LARGE.
Receipts Were $191,478,633 and
Expenditures S2O8, 351,8

Postmaster General Meyer an
nOunccs that the postal deficit for the
fiscal year ended June so amounted to
$1G.91G.219. Receipts were $191,41S,-
G33, being $~7.S93.G17 greater than in
the previous year, and expenditures
were $2OS,351,sSG. The deficit is the
largest in the history OF the Postoffice
Department.
An analysis of the figures shows that
$9,S91,321 represents the advance in
pay authorized by Congress for en-
ployes of the railway mail service, the
rural delivery and the city delivery SER
vice and for assistant postmasters and
clerks in postoIiceS. The normal in
creas in revenue for several years
was about o per cent and in 1908 4.29
per cent, the decrease in the rate Of
growth being due to the financial de-
preston.
The Postmaster General said that in
his annual report he would call the
attention Of Congress to the fact that
he is firmly convinced hat the es-
adjustment of a special local parcels
post confined to rural routes would
tend to wipe out the postal deficit and
would make the rural delivery seIf-sus-

Keep a vegetable brush to remove

If an iron is not at hand when mark

If, when using lemon for %favoring,
you need only half a one, put the other
half on a plate and cover with a glass
tumbler. This excludes the air and
prevents it from drying up or getting
mOldy.
Always use Il wooden spoon for stir
ring batter, soups or fruits. rs it will
not wear out q sieve, stain. nor spoil
the flavor. To keep it white dip in hot
water before using, as that will fill the
pores so they cannot absorb much Of
anything else.
Should the clothes be widowed, the
stains may be removed by d mixture
containing equal parts Of soft soap and
starch, half as much common salt and
the juice of half a lemon. This may
be spread over the spots. and the arti-
Gle should be laid on the grass all day
and all night until the stain entirely
disappears.
Table linen which has been stained
with egg should never be placed in boil

permanent. The best method is to
soak the cloth in cold water, which
will make it perfectly easy to remove
the stain before sending it to the wash.

consequently adds another to the list

7 eligible to retirement. The law per-
mitS justices to retire with full pay
when they have reached the age Of 20,
though a few members who have been
blessed with robust health have waived
the rule.
Now that the complexion of the ma

for four years to come, it would not be
surprising if there should be some
changes in the personnel of the Su-
preme tribunal before many months
have elapsed. With Justice Peckham,

These are Melville w. Fuller, chief
justice. Who is 10; John VI. Harlan, as
