USE FOR FIRELEss COOKER
New Idea Is Invaluable In the Proper
Preparation Of the
Cereal.

Few people cook their cereals long
enough.
AS served in many families, the
cereal Is thick. lumpy. and. II the truth
We're known, indigestible.
IL is made too thick In the begin.
ming, because time Is not allowed for
1t to cook long enough to become so.
Oatmeal is most sinned against in
this respect.
II should be cooked four hours al
least, longer II possible.
IT is really best IL cooked over
night. and in many careful families
this is done.
Put 1t on the back OF the stove al
night, then the first thing in the morn
ing draw 1t over the hotter part and
let 1t finish cooking.
This is difficult to manage where
gas stoves are used.
1t would be impossibly extravagant
to leave a gas jet turned on for the
whole night.
The best solution of the difficulty IL
tireless cooker.
These are growing to be more and
more used, and are eminently useful
and practical for such purposes.

PLAITS NOW ON ALL COATS
None Of the Latest Models Are With
out This Particular Form
Of Adornment.

The newest models In coats have
plaits down the middle of the back.
starting from two inches below the
waistline and running to the hem.
They are side-plaited and turned to-
ward the center. They usually match
panel of plaits of the skirt that run
down the center back. There are few
short jackets, but those that are
shown by the tailors are either plait-
ed from shoulder to hem like the. Bus
ter Brown slip. or the plating is put
on as peplum to cover the hips.
If this plated part is too short it
will be extremely ungraceful. II should
be at least ten inches and finished
with one-inch hem. The coat that
has double box plat down the mid
die of the back viii be worn on very
long coats over one-piece frocks.
The plat is stitched on each side
and slightly shaped In to the waist.

ID. Vanderschaaf of Hull has lust
disposed of his 160-acre farm. Nine
years ago he bought the property for

to invest are looking outside of the
state lines when the surest and best
investments are to be found right

WHAT CUT AMOUNTS TO
Reduction in Rates Demanded Which
viii Mean Much to Northwest
ern shippers.
ern shippers

SPOKANE, WaSn., sept. l1.@Snlp-
lpers in Spokane and throughout the
Inland Empire, where enormous ton
mage in grains, fruits, timber and
minerals is offered to railroads., be-
lieve that the action of the state rail-
road commission of Washington in
ordering the Northern Pacific Rail-
way company forthwith to reduce its
freight rates on grain to S7h per
cent of the tariff published on June
80, 1909, will have a salutary effect
all over the Northwest. Though the
cut of 12M per cent applies only on
the Northern Pacific main line in the
state, it will save the shippers from
one to one and a half cents a bushel
Or between $350,00O and 100000
a year.
The reduction, based on the and-
ing that the company's profits are
more than $1,000,000 a year exclus-
ively on state business over a z per
cent annual revenue on the invest
ment, is taken to mean that inquiry
may be made into other tonnage, the
carrier charges on which are declar-
ed to be unreasonable, excessive and
exorbitant. The significant portion
of the commissions finding is best
told in its own words, in part as fol-
lows:
I'VE have found the value of the
! Northern Pacific Railway company's
property in the state used for the
public to be $111,374,950, divided;
s45, 7o3,730 for state use and $685.
671,219 for interstate use.
I'VE have found as facts that the
net earnings of the company from
stae business were $4,976,273 for
1905, $5,174,047 for 1906, $5,600,-
1913 for 1907. and ~$6.223,943 for
1908. .""
'The earnings Of the Washington
& Columbia River branch are not in
cluded in the earnings for 1905-6-7,
so the value of the property used
for state business during 1905-6-7
would not exceed $42,500,0O0.
The estimated net earnings of
the company from state bsiuess for
1908 exceeds $s,450,000, thus show
ing a net return from state business
for the five years under consideration
of III per cent, 1917 per cent, 49,
II per cent, 1862 per cent and 49,
81 per cent, respectively. That this
return, with the percentage increas-
ing yearly, Is excessive is clearly evil
dent"
The finding shows that grain
amounted to 1897 per cent OF the
total tonnage carried by the company
over its lines in Washington and to
1907 per cent of the total ten miles,
and furnished 1899 per cent Of the
total state evenue received by the
company in 1908. Sixteen million
bushels of grain was carried by the
company. The cost of movement, e x
elusive of taxes, interest or dividends
was approximately $.9668 a ton
while the average receipt per ton was
approximately $500. the moving cost
