Kansas City Stock Yards, Mar. is.
Cattle prices moved up 10 to 20
cents last week. a steady gain from
day to day except on Tuesday, when
the buyers had their only advantage
of the week Moderate receipts ev-
erywhere, and prospects Of eontinu-
ed light runs. together with a good
outlet for the beef, are the leading
features of a situation that looks en-
couraging for sellers. Hogs and
sheep have reached price that
causes consumers to take more kindly
to beef The supply Monday here was
10000 CATTLE and the market is strong
to 10 higher Strictly prime cattle
were not included in the offerings
/ Monday, else the top would be at
$4,000 or better In native division.
Some quarantine yearlings, weighing
1866 lbs, sold here Monday at $775,
new high record for cattle from be-
low the quarantine line. Other ship
ments from the restricted territory IN
Oklahoma sold at $3.50 and $3.50,
with quite a string at 1926 TO $500,
and quarantine bulls at S5.55. The
best natives here brought S770, bulk
of steers $3.50 to $3.50, and very few
steers under S625 Packers are pay.
ing more for the steers that could
be finished in a hundred days than
country buyers are willing to pay, In
most cases. Choice heifers bring
$500, top cows $3.50, and bulk of she
stuff 525 to 1925, bulls at $40 to
S5.S5, and calves not much changed
from a week ago, at $3.50 to $500 for
veals. A string of the Kemper &
Wertz Colorado steers from the
sugar mills at Garden City, Kansas,
sold Monday at $500, other Colorado
fed steers at $3.50 TO $3.50, Colorado
feeders at $3.50, the latter the top on
feeders Monday Stock raisers range
from $3.50 to $500, feeders $3.50 and
upwards.
The big advance OF 60 cents per
ewt. on hogs last week failed to swell
the supply, and IL is conceded now
that price of twelce cents per pound
could not do any more in that direc-
ton than is being done at this time.
Run was 1000 here Monday, market
about steady, hogs weighing over 200
lbs at s10.35 to $1,000. weights under
200 at s1O.1O TO $10.45. pigs $3.50 to
1926. Prices will likely advance as
long as the consumer keeps on pay.
ing the price asked Of him. Record
prices being paid for hogs have not
contracted consumptive channels per.
ceptibly so far. Country shippers are
being advised to not overload cars
for fear of hot spell of weather while
en- route to market, and consequent
heavy loss on dead hogs. Al present
lprlces one or two dead hogs In a load
cuts quite a figure.
Sheep and lambs advanced Is 10 2I

good receipts, and the market was up
10 to 10 cents Monday The run Of
$4,000 head here Monday include TWEEN

STORING CELERY FOR WINTER.

For readers who have raised celery
this year for the first time a sugges-
ton may be helpful along the line or
storing II for winter use. II the va
riety is an early maturing sort. like
the Golden Self Branching. all that is
needed to be done is 10 take the plants
up With plenty Of root and pack them
snugly In n box of sufficient size to ac-
commodate the amount TO be stored
Unless the earth Is quite moist-there
should be n layer of it at the bottom
OF the box-it is well to give II thor
ough sprinklins before the roots are
set in. In the case of later and larger
varieties which have not bleached at
all at the time the plants are taken up
the box in which they are stored
should be so arranged that the roots
of the plants can be watered mt inter
walls without wetting the tops. This Is
best done by boring holes here and
there In the bottom OF the box and
which water can be poured or. If the
door of the storeroom is earth. in a de
preston into which water can be
poured. In either case sufficient mois
ture will be absorbed by capillary at
traction through the holes in the bot
tom Of the box to supply the plants
Pouring water on 70 the plants from
above, as is usually done when they
are growing in the open ground. tends
to rot the tops. We have tried wrap
ping each stalk OF celery we'll TO thu
roots with pieces of newspaper befor'

any better results than the use o

a MENACE TO HEALTH.

That the country as whole needs
an awakening to the necessity of Civ
ing more heed to and applying just
common everyday horse sense methods
to conserving of the public health is
nicely shown In an instance which
came to our attention the other day.
A miserable looking individual with
the usual greasy card put In an ap-
pearance, but instead Of recording the
fact that the bearer had lost bis voice,
arm or toe II stated that he was In
bad way from tuberculosis and was
trying to get enough money by selling
shoestrings to take him 20 the north
ern woods. where the bracing air and
the smell OF the conifers would restore
HIS health. Like many another. we
paid 10 cents for penny shoestrings
and later put them In the stove and
then for a brief interval contemplated
the menace TO public health OF having
a consumptive OF this type frequenting
streets. hotels. passenger cars and
other public places and no doubt scat

1t strengthens the eyes to baths
them either in very hot water or In
very cold. Better yet is to take a piece
Of absorbent cotton rounded and made
into little pad to fit the eyes, dip
them In ice water and place them on
the lids, changing them as they be-
come hot. After a few minutes of
such treatment the eyes will feel COM
forted and relieved to a great degree.
This Is specially grateful to the eyes
after riding in the wind or after hav-
ing been subjected to the dust and
cinders of n railway or the glare of
bright reflections on the water when
on boat. Those who have tend
ency TO weak eyes should daily use an
eyecup In which is placed a boracic
acid solution. The saturated solution
and should be made fresh for each
eye. The eye should be opened and
shut In the solution half a dozen
times or more so that 1t will thor
oughly battle the eyeball as well as the
lids
Lines or wrinkles under the eyes
may be relieved by the use of a good
pure skin food. Steam the parts af
fected by laying hot wet cloths or
them for fifteen minutes. then dipping
the fingers into the skin food Mas
sage gently along the line taken 10y
the wrinkles for ten or fifteen min
utes. Give this treatment twice daily
with steady persistence. and after {
month or SOS treatment an improve
ment should be noticeable.

The Bride Beautiful.

A touch of color in the cheeks on the
wedding day is to be desired. and II 1t
can be obtained In no other way n dust
OF rouge Is quite excusable, for the
bride who is a wan ghost is anything
but good TO look upon. But before re-
sorting to this subterfuge try washing
the face at the last moment with pip
ing hot and then very cold water and
then patting the cheeks, the fingers
wet with cologne diluted with rose
water.
But to secure a real look Of health,
which is necessary for the chill white
frock, q cupful Of orange juice every
morning before breakfast or half the
quantity of pineapple juice taken al
the same time will very likely pro-
mote a natural color on the wedding
day, for both OF these juices act upon
the liver. whose renewed health is i'm
mediately shown in the freshening OF
the skin.
AS TO foods. carrots contain the Iron
necessary for color. and when accom-
panied with rare beefsteak no better
food could be offered the bride wh'
fears pallor on her day of days. Th'
| girl who is likely to be red should ca
only white meats and fish for n montl
before her marriage and then see TO 1
| as we'll that her collar, sleeves anC
slippers are not too tight.

A Hair Hint.

Where the hair is inclined to lie I'M
becomingly close to the head a little
fluffing out In the new couture is ad-
visable, though it need by no means
attain the proportions Of a large POM
padour. If one has enough hair she
may make 1t into puffs. but most of
the hairdressings are made with false
puffs or braids. pinned on. These may
be made OF your own combings or
bought In n shade matching your own
hair. When the hair is thin a pompa-
dour to wear under 1t is TO be pre-
ferred to Il roll. A roll may be pinned
at the back to form q support for the
knot, which may be composed OF
pinned on puffs. or switch may be
twisted into Psyche knot and pinned
TO your own hair.

Face Preparation.

A nice preparation for the face Is
eau de cologne with glycerin, but
while the glycerin is softening and
stimulating the latter dries too quick
ly and has a tendency to rob the
glycerin OF its good effects. So that
while a face lotion may be helped in
some instances 1t is just as apt to be
injurious in others. In Paris at pres
ent all the women are trying to get
their faces to look like paste seeming
ly. They use ivory powder and a great
deal OF 1t. The blends remind one of
the dead white colorings OF the Elem
ish beauties reproduced by Rubens.

RossvlLLe PRECEDING PLANT.


After years OF transcontinental fruit
shipment In the old way-putting
Eboard cars at natural temperatures
and allowing as great reduction In
temperature as could be had with the
ordinary Icing system-a comprehen-
sive system has finally been devised
for the wholesale preceding OF fruits
before shipment. exempli1ed In the
$1.O00.O00 plant which was given its
first test on Oct. 81 OF last year and
the results OF which were highly sat
isfactory in every way. In the initial
tryout ten cars OF ripe grapes from
Lodi. Cal, were reduced from a tenn
perature of 30 to 80 degrees in two
hours. The cars were then sent out
by fast express. with no ripening or
decay In the course of their long jour-
ney. and ten days later were offered
for sale In New York and Philadel-
phia In practically the same perfect
condition as when picked from the
vines. Used at full capacity. the
Roseville plant will handle twenty
cars at time. and It will cool this
number OF cars of fruit In three hours
The plant Is combined with an ice
plant which has two 800 ton refriger-
ating machines with an icemaking
capacity Of 100 tons each. The cool
ing process Is a simple one. When
the twenty loaded cars OF fruit have
been run into the long cooling shed
the car doors are unlocked and swung
open and false doors equipped with
canvas connections leading to n huge
| coil box OF ammonia pipes are then
| adjusted. The warm air In the car Is
FIRST drawn Off by means Of an inter
| mittent valve through two canvas
| connections above the ice bunkers at
! the ends Of the cars. The two fans
| which drive the air through the ducts

and deliver $4,000 cubic feet Of air per

the air passes and is cooled is eighty
feet long. thirty-two feet wide and

with more than 1900 ammonia joints

The last few years have been uA-
happy ones indeed for the lovely ana
good Amelie, the former queen OF
Portugal. AS every one knows, her
husband, King Carlos, and the crown
prince were assassinated while she
was driving with them in the streets
Of Lisbon in 1908. The expulsion re-
Gently of her son, King Manuel, and the
royal family from Portugal when the
monarchial government was replaced
by that Of a republic Is another bitter
blow to this much tried woman.
Queen Amelie. the daughter Of the
COmte de Paris. was brought up In
England In the utmost simplicity.
Royal unions are not always love
matches, but the marriage of King
Carlos and Queen Amelie was an ex-
ception. There is a pretty story about
this ROYAL cOurtship. 1t seems the
then Duke OF BraCanza was distinct
ly difficult TO please in the choice OF
wife. One day a portrait OF Princess
Amelie d'Orleans was placed in his
way as If by accident, and the duke
was Immediately fascinated. Personal
acquaintance increased the attraction,
and eventually the young couple were
married at Lisbon in 1885. The mar
rage proved n happy one, for the royal
pair were as devoted TO each other
on the day OF the kings death as In
the first years OF their union.
Until recently Queen Amelie WAS
much beloved by the people Of her
adopted country. She studied medi-
cine so as to understand hospital work
and general nursing and was untiring
in her efforts to improve the public
health. The higher education of wOm-
en- enlisted her warmest support, and
she was never happier than when go
ing about incog. among the poor OF
Lisbon.
Queen Amelie was considered the
best gowned Of royal women, and she
is a born milliner In the palace there
was II room set apart where hats and
bonnets were continually in course
OF construction. and thereby hangs 6
|. pathetic story.
Once while out driving in the streets
OF Lisbon she observed large CROWD
surrounding some object. The queer
sent the footman to see what was the
, matter, and when he reported that {
young woman had tainted she immedi
ately left her carriage and had thu

to get employment. had ventured I
