DENVER MARKETS

count of big runs and daily declines at
all the eastern markets all the advance
was lost and prices closed the week
anywhere from 10c to zoe lower than
week ago. The right good cattle sold
to very good advantage, but there was
large number OF the habitat and
palmer kinds on all markets and these
suffered most. Beef steers sold at
$500 to s5.65 for the best, with the fair
steers at $3.50 to $500. Cows sold up
to SASS on Monday and $4.75 on We'd
nesday, but late in the week not many
got above $3.50, prices ranging mostly
from this down to $500 on the best and
the fair to good largely at 1925 to
$500 Bulls held up well with prices
ranging from $3.50 on thin stuff to
$685. on fat bulls. and right fancy kinds
would have brought more. Veal calves
closed about quarter lower with tops
around $3.50. Feeder and stocker trade
was fair. The demand was very good
for the good fleshy dehorned steers but
all grades were lower owing to the
eastern slump. the palmer steers snf-
fering most Bulk of the good to choice
steers brought $4.25 to $500, and the
fair to good went largely at $3.50 to
$4.25.
Hog demand was especially good and
the market in fine shape. Prices paid
here are higher than eastern quota
lions and liberal shipments are want
ed. The local markets advanced 25c
to 35c last week, bulk now selling at
$5.S5 to $685..
The sheep demand was good all
week and the market fully steady at
the close. Good ewes sold at $4.6o
and lambs brought $40 to $725. the
latter price taking good bunch on
Saturday. Yearlings sold up to $500.

Militia Bill Considered.

The morning session of the House
Monday was taken up with the second
reading Of H. B. II. Strickland, to
provide that the rules governing the
state militia shall be the same as
those of the national government. as
provided in the Dick law. According
to that enactment the national gov
eminent will give aid to the national
guard in those states only that make
the organization of the state guard
conform to that Of the regular army.
The action was taken so that, in case
Of war when the state guard shall be
called upon to take the field, no reor-
ganization will be necessary. Troops
may then. simply step into the place
assigned them.
No general objection was made to
the bill, members merely trying to SO
amend it that nothing would be over
looked. Some of the labor men could
not overlook the opportunity to ex-
press their disapproval Of the guard
az a whole, and especially Of the part
OF the present law which gives the
governor the right to call out the

made some strong comments on the
use Of the guard by past governors
holding that it had been hired to men
with plenty of money.
The bill prevented the appointment

eral but an amendment was adopted
SO that any person serving one yeal
as a commissioned officer in either
the United States army or the Colo
RADIO national guard may hold the
office.

LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
AT C0LORADOS CAPITAL
Game and Fish Bills.

The Joint committees OF House and
senate on fish and game held an ex-
tended session Monday night to listen
to the expressed wishes of many in
terested in the legislation before those
committees. The greater part of the
evening was taken up with discussions
OF the bill to amend the present law
concerning the manner of paying the
bills OF the department The Humane
society made a strong plea for closed
season on deer for five years. Other
arguments were in relation to the
hunting licenses, fishing licenses and
the time for permitting hunting. A
plan to have fish licenses for every
one who shall visit the streams met
with strong opposition, as it would
compel each boy with his Irvine string
and bent hook to take out license
or suffer punishment for angling for
minnows.
Game wardens asked a change in the
law, establishing a residence period
for those who wish to take out hunting
licenses. An instance was given of
where hunters from Kentucky last year
took out residence licenses. and when
arrested for hunting, declared their
intention Of remaining in the state,
which was sufficient under the law.
But in week after. through with
their trip. they were back in Ken

ion that only those who had acquired
the right to Vote in the state were Oer.

doing them quickly or well il the stiff
fleming is not first removed.
One way to get them In proper con-
dition is to rub the linen between the
fingers and thumbs along the entire
length of the hem. This gets out the
stiffness and prevents needles from
breaking.
Another and better method is be-
fore the linen, napkins particularly. is
cut apart, wet it along the line Of d.
vision and for about an inch on each
side with small toothbrush dipped in
soapsuds Not only will the thread
draw with few, If any breaks, but the
hem can be laid with much greater
ease.
Never attempt to cut linen by the
eye. 1t takes little more time to draw
a thread, and that is easily made up
by the quickness and accuracy with
which the hem is laid.
In hemming all table linen, fold 1t

cast neatly on the wrong side. This

For the Tea Table.

The girl who wants to get reputa-
tion for delicious tea-making should
have on her tea table the various
frills that are now served with the aft
ernoon cup
jugs is there for the grandfather. who
has never lost his old-fashioned taste
for creamed tea. and for granddaugh-
ter. who takes it to be English.
Lemon, the most generally used
favoring, should be cut in thin slices
with the rind cut off and piled in over
tapping layers on fiat plate. Special
dishes are now shown for lemon They
are fiat plates of rock crystal with a
silver rim. They resemble the crystal
butter dish, but are much smaller. A
tiny silver pickle fork lies across the
slices.
For the man who likes few drops
OF rum in his tea in addition to lemon,
fine quality of Cuban rum is kept in
a liquor jug of glass or glass overlaid
with silver.
A fad of the moment is to serve
some sort of preserves in tea. The
Russians, for instance. are quite fond
of strawberry jam stirred into the
cup. and tomato preserves heavily
spiced with ginger is equally good
These preserves make charming ad-
dition to the tea table. IL they are
served in the popular crystal marina
lade jars set in silver rim and with
silver lid and special spoon.
Bits Of candied ginger are also liked
in tea. These can be passed in bon
bon dishes. as can the round red and
white mints beloved of children, which
are the very latest fancy for giving
delicate minty flavor to the afternoon
cup of tea.

Pretty Linen for the Table.

There is nothing that makes a
luncheon SO attractive as pretty table
linen, and the cepterpiece is the most
important of all. 1t should be approx
imately "a inches in diameter. plate
doilies ten inches and the smaller size
eight inches. The smaller ones are
needed for the glasses and the bread
and butter plates.
Heavy, firm linen, worked with mer.
cerized cotton not too fine, should be
used.
Great care should be exercised In
embroidering it. and especially in re-
gard to the padded. scalloped edge; If
1t wears rough and shows fringe Of
threads the beauty Of the piece IL
spoiled.

In selecting tablecloths 1t Is more
satisfactory to get the 72-inch width,
which gives generous fall of 16
inches or 80 at the sides, which
dresses table better than the mar
ROVER widths. Two and one-half yards
is very good measure for general use,
convenient size for small company
requiring an extra leaf Three and
one-half yards are required for an ex-
tended table. to drape over the ends
and correspond with the sides.
In hemming tablecloths,, a double
hemstitch above an inch-and-a-half
The ends must be cut by the thread
to make the hem true. With napkins
to correspond and finished in the
same way, this makes a very 6ne
table set, IL the linen Is fine and
heavy. with pretty pattern. II the
hemstitch Is thought to be too alab-
crate, the so-called French hem at the
ends does very nicely, turning half
inch hem neatly and folding back, sew
a fine over-a1fd-over stitch.
The care of table linen Is of great
Importance, IL one would have the
table arrayed At Its best. There must
be pure white cloth without blemish
OF wrinkle with satiny finish and with
as few folds as possible. A very good
way to wash napkins and tablecloths
for this effect is to first, pour slowly
stream of boiling water over stains
and then let them soak in good suds
made with white laundry soap for an
hour; then lightly rub out and just
scald In clear water; rinse in a light
bluing water and, during the whole
process wiring by hand instead Of by
wringer, to avoid the wrinkles that
are SO hard to press out. Do not
starch; stretch evenly and hang
straight on the line to dry.
In ironing the linen must be evenly
and very we'll dampened. Fold the
tablecloth from side to side, Just once
and press dry from end to end, on
both sides. This will give the satin
finish. Fold together sidewise once
more and press both sides carefully
then fold lengthwise as little as pos
sible. to lay in your sideboard drawer
for linen. To avoid the least folds
some get boards, such as are used for
dress goods. and wind their long table
cloths smoothly over them, giving
them the appearance Of new linen.

Bill to Control Smelling.

Deeming unnecessary the adoption
Of constitutional amendment pro-
posed in bill by Senator O'Connell to
give the Legislature authority to regu-
late the smelling business In Colorado,
Senator Casaday introduced a bill to
regulate and control all shelters, mills
and similar plants for the treatment
of ores as is exercised by the Inter
state Commerce Commission over the
railways of the country.
Senator O'Connell and his advisers
deem it necessary to have embodied in
the constitution a declaration that all
plants devoted to the treatment of
with a public interest and devoted to a
public use, but Senator Casaday be-
lieves that a declaration to this effect
by the legislature is sufficient, and his
bill so declares, further adding that
every person or corporation engaged
in the treatment of ores shall be
deemed public servant.
1t is provided that no contract for
the purchase or treatment of ore shall
become effective until net purchase
price of such ore shall have been
agreed upon between seller and buyer.
If no agreement can be reached, then
the smelling company must return to
the seller the ore offered. and for fail
ure to do SO, the company Shall forfeit
twice the value Of the ore.
Mixing of ores to destroy the iden-
tity Of any ore is punishable by fine
or from 500 to $4,000. or to iIlprison-
ment for one year. or both.
The bill provides for the creation of
the office of state assayer, the APP
pointee to be one of three men recon-
mended to the governor by the faculty
of the School of Mines.
The state assayer shall make all as
says requested of him. at reasonable
charges fixed in the bill. nd keep com
plete records of the business transact
ed by his office. His salary is fixed at
$4,000.
The state assayer shall be member
of board of three to be known as the
Colorado Ores Commission.
The commission is to have general
supervision and control over all ore
treating plants in the state. The COM
mission shall require the posting in
public places at every plant of sched-
ules Of prices for the treatment of ores,
and no charge shall be made in such
schedules until at least ten days no.
tice thereof shall have been given.
The commission is to have power to
compare changes in rates.
Special provisions are made against
rebating and for the refunding of ille-
gal or discriminatory charges.
Every concern coming within the
provisions of the lay must be filed with
the ores commission at stated periods,
full reports of all its transactions.

Speaker Lubers of the House is

SHOPPING FOR SCHOOL
CHILDREN

Special showings for school cnfi-
dren are a feature of many shops
during early fall. Manufacturers Inn
prove their designs for children an
nuauy, and have never sent out
more charming garments than are
to be seen in the fall stocks. Per-
haps 1t is the lack of embroidery,
lace and all superfluous trimming
which makes fall styles SO dis
tinctly juvenile, and In especial
good taste for school wearing.
The wash dresses In which some
mothers like to keep small girls

great as any ever offered for
women. Very desirable are the
chambrays and madras frocks in
plain blue and brown, simply piped
with white, and fastened with large
white pearl buttons.
Gay little gowns Of plaid and
checked ginghams are shown with
white or colored pipings; they are
newest when made with high neck
and long sleeves, but they may also
be had in the always attractive
jumper styles.
Heavier suits for girls are of the
regulation blue serge. They are
made with MILDLY or belted blouses
sailor collars and knotted ties, and
either braided or embroidered with
red or white naval emblems.
