CREAMERY BUTTER
HIGHER THIS MONTH
THAN IN MANY YEARS

Housewives who insist on affording
their tables the luxury Of fancy cream
cry butter are paying more for that
preference just now than they have
during any previous June Tor some years
past. And. moreover. hey may ex-
pect 10 do so for some time. unless the
predictions Of local commission men go
wide of the mark.
In looking for the reason for the I'M
usually high butter prices, it may be
blamed on the Western dairy farmers,
who have this year failed to keep their
supply abreast Of the increased demand,
say the commission men. Moreover,
thew deny that speculation has any
thing to do with it. According 10 The
explanation given in the Washington
market the Elgin Creameries, from
which all OF this fancy grade of but
Ter comes, find themselves without their
usual June supply. The fact that the
washington housewife is today paying
All the Uay from csc to 40c per pound
for fancy creamery, is because the Ell
gin creameries have fixed the wholesale
price at IS cents. If the supply was to-
dav normal the retail price would be
as low as from 20 TO - cents per pound.

Constant Tension of the Nerves
Will Soon Ruin All Ones Vitality
By VIRGINIA TEMPLE.

A woman ages under constant nerv-
Gus tension more quickly than under
any other condition of being-grows old
and ugly.
The other day 1 happened on a street
car at the rush hour. II was jammed
with tired men and women anxious TO
get home after a strenuous day down
town in offices or workshops or from a
tiresome afternoon of shopping.
I watched the women who sat upon
the seats OF the car. 1 watched those
who chung 10 the straps. The anxiety
to hasten the action of the car was
written in their strained eyes and re-
f1ected upon their faces. The women
about me. instead of relaxing every
muscle and letting go OF their weight
giving it absolutely to the seats upon
which they We're sitting, were, in the
main, sitting bolt upright with every
muscle strained almost to the break
have almost carried the car in which
they were riding.
Yet the day was DONE and here was
an opportunity for rest.
There was not a woman on that car
who might not have relaxed absolutely
and reached her destination just as
quickly, and when she did reach it she
would then have felt rested and re-
freshed after her ride
It was impossible TO wonder at gath
eTing wrinkles about tired lips and eyes,
or the many evidences of irritability
manifested around me when. the cause
was so apparent in the rigid bodies.
Same Tension
Under Varying Conditions.
I have noticed this same nervous ten
sion everywhere under varying condi-
tions. Women who work, whether
about their homes or in a downtown Of
hce. get up in the morning and start
upon their tasks under a nervous ten
sion that wears them out in a very few
hours.
THESE women use not only the muscles
required for the accomplishment of
the work in hand, but bring every
other muscle in the body into use, thus
wasting fuel al every turn, during every
hour in the day with no thought what
ever of replenishing the nerve force
they are utilizing.
Take just as an example the woman
who has been to call upon a friend
she overstays her time perhaps, and
when she starts for home she realizes
that she is ,ardy. Does she get home
any quicker by sitting bolt upright in
the ear with every nerve and muscle in
her body at highest tension. When she
does get home will she be fit for the
performance of such duties as may
await her there7
Car Seats Made
To Bear Your Weight.
The car seats were made to bear your
weight. Let go! Don't try to hold
yourself up on the seat. The same prin-
ciple applies TO riding or driving. Don't
resist the motion of the vehicle In
I which you are riding! Resistance means
the sapping of nerve force. the sapplng
of nerve force means the loss of vital
ity and the loss OF vitality means i'll

Origin of Loving Cup.

Mrs. z. L Brinton, 1017 x street,
writes as follows:
The origin Of the loving cup was
asked for lately IN your inquiry column
II came thus; A king of Hungary
while out huntinig stopped at an inn
and asked for a. jug Of beer. The maid
brought the jug 10 the king. holding il
by the handle, which displeased his
majesty so much that he ordered q lug
with two handles to be brought for hts
next visit The next time he passed
that way the maid brought the Jug
with the two handles, holding it Out
TO the king by both handles. where
upon the king ordered a jug TO be made
with three handles. so that there might
be one for his own use. This is the
reputed origin Of the loving cup
