LOOKS FOR GREAT
RAILROAD BUSINESS

WASHINGTON, ID. G.. Aug 1s-A
heavier business than has ever bocn
known IN a single year Is looked for by
Chairman Knapp OF tho Interstate Come
morco Commission. for American railroads
during the present fiscal year. The crop
prospects are considered so bright that
there IS likelihood that railroads and
other TRANSPORTATION companies may be
taxed beyond their capacity.
Already according 20 figures submitted
to the Interstate Commerce Commission,
railroads m considerable number are ham
ding almost as much traffic as they han-
died in the rush months Of 1907. which
was the banner year in American rail-
roading
''rhe railroads learned a good lesson In
1907" said Chairman Knapp. "Then they
were absolutely unable to handle prompt
" the traffic that was offered to them.
Since that time they have added material
ly 10 their equipment, have Improved their
roadbeds and IN every respect have in
creased their facilities 1 do not doubt
that this year will be red letter year
for them and for the country"
Generally IL is expected however. that
a shortage OF cars will result this fan
from the increased business, and some
embarrassment by shippers may be looked
for.

Tn. aEthiosn Of Potatoes.

There are rules about all things even
potatoes
Certain ways OF serving potatoes are
proper at one time and not at another
and the skiilful cook never makes mis-
take i'm this as in the other small but in
Vulnerable rules OF good serving.
Potato chips, for example. or French
fried potatoes should never be served at
a formal dinner.
Nor would we care for mashed potatoes
Tor breakfast.
For dinner. then. potatoes may be mash
ed, boiled whole. If they are now potatoes,
served in cream. whole. and with roast
beef they may be Drowned underneath the
meat.
The following may be served at both
breakfast and luncheon: Potato chips. 20.
tato cakes and potatoes baked. creamed
French fried. Lyonaise. Boston block and

For luncheon there are escalloped po
tatoes, potato croquettes and potato pun

Gown For Every Occasion.

Each gown for its own OCCASION" is
the motto that should hang in every wo-
mans dressing room. The woman Of taste
will sometimes know about clothes what
the woman Of common sense has learned
by experience. But both will at once agree
that it is a breach of good taste to wear
a fluffy gown upon a city street, and that.
furthermore, a gown worn out of its prop
er place win last but one-ha'f as long.
Both Of these women know, too. that a
cloth or linen street suit should never be
worn in the house. It is comfortable look
ing. and it will soon become kneed and
wrinkled.
II is intended that in the house one

A BIG PIGPEN.
By EDWIN A. NYB.

n DlO rlOFEN.
Stanley Ketchel is "pug" who
bruises and is bruised inside the ropes
for hire and for the delectation OF
sports. But be knows a thing or two
aside from prlzehghting.
Speaking OF his plans for retirement
from the ring. he says:
"rhe open country for me. with lots
OF fresh air | soon tire of the bright
lights OF Broadway. They've made a
bum out OF many good fighter. and
I'm going to give them wide berth"
Another athlete. Farmer" Burns.
one time champion wrestler. is a real
farmer. He owns and manages sew
eral good Iowa farms. Both as
wrestler aud farmer he makes hay
while the sun shines.
Frank Gotch. champion wrestler.
also owns an Iowa farm. Speaking
on the occasion Of his recent marriage.
Gotch said he intended to put every
dollar he could save into land.
These athletes have seen men like
John L. Sullivan and others lose their
money and health IN the miasma Of
city muck. and they have prohted by
the observation.
When a fighter IS in training he
must be abstemious. but the trouble
comes with success. The Great White
Way makes bum Of him.

turned to the tribe TO teach. Following
her graduation in Philadelphia, DR.. Pi-
cote lived in a log cabin with wom-
en-. and now is engaged in active prac-

firm believer in thefuture Of the Indi-

Messenger BOYS 70 Sutton Dresses.

A new use has been found for the
ubiquitous MESSENGER boy I'm London. He
answers calls to button women's dress

work is, IL cents. and the boys have
proved competent substitutes in this
connection for maids of grumbling
husbands. The innovation was brought
about by a husband who asked assis-
tance of the messenger service. eX-
planning his wife's maid had suddenly
had taken her departure and that he
was unable TO do the buttoning be-
cause of a broken finger. A boy was
sent TO the house and the incident got
into the newspapers. Afterward many
women placed orders for boys TO be
sent regularly TO do the buttoning. The
boys themselves do not like the new
duty. not bcause Of the work itself,
but because the women are stingy with

Example Set BY Girl Scouts.

In England there is much talk about
the recently organizd corps of girl
scouts. Since Lord Roberts and other
advocates of larger land forces have
aroused interest i'm the territorials,
many organizations of boy scouts and
rihemen have sprung up. But it is
doubtful If Field Marshal "Bobs' fore
saw the patriotism of women would
be awakened. He has expressed himself
as surprised and delighted at tn efforts
Of the girls of Britain to stimulate
military enthusiasm. The companies
Of girl scouts. who range in age from
IA TO 20 years, win prove of value in
case of war, as the discipline Of such
body will help TO make its members
good nurses. The example set by the
young women is likely to inspire their
brothers. cousins and sweethearts with
similar enthusiasm for military work.
English society is amazed at the sue
cess as a hostess Of Lady Helen Cor
don-Lennox. youngest daughter of the
Duke of Richmond, Lennox and Cor
don. The Duke is a widower. Lady
Helen is 20 years old, and has been
out in the social world only two
years. For time she was assisted
by her aunt, Lady Caroline, but recent
~ she has stood alone. The Duke was
the host of the King and Queen in
Goodwood House for the racing season
in Goodwood, and their majesties ex-
I pressed great satisfaction at the way in
which they were entertained by Lady
Helen. In a country whose social us
ages are as conventional as in Eng
