ings before the interstate commerce
commission. accepted the challenge of
the western railroad presidents, to

railways of the United States $1,000
600 a day by increasing the efficiency
of the working units of the various
systems. IL has been Mr.. Brandeis'
contention that waste and inefficiency
have been the primary causes for the
loss of vast sums Of money to the
railway companies. He told the inter-
state commerce committee that the
carriers of the United States we're
spending annually $685.. 100000 which
could be saved TO them by more care
full and modern management. Tho
western railway presidents told Mr..
Brandeis that If what he said was true
they would be willing to let him take
the job Of reorganizing the business
system of the lines and he could name
his own salary up to S1,000,000 per
year. Mr.. Brandeis said: "The
modern system of management starts
at the bottom of things. II concerns
itself with every item of the cost of
production from the bottom to the
top; again. interests itself in rightine

There used to be a sheriff in a Green

forty years. had driven his prisoners
-murderers, moonshiners, thieves
through the woods in his buggy to the

carried a revolver nor used a pair OF
handouts I'm his life. He had a strong
hand, a brave heart and a stutter.
Weren't you ever afraid?' some one
asked him one day.

When buttering bread for sand

New iron pots should always be
boiled first with wood ashes and cold
water and then thoroughly scalded.

CAP OF LINEN LAWN
is PRETTY FOR BABY

A cap OF linen lawn for the baby
can be very prettily decorated with
interlaced rings OF featherstitching,
which go entirely around the cap.
These rings may be marked with a
pencil on the material, using a small
spool or button for a guide. The marks
should be made as lightly as possible,
so they will not show under the work.
Finish the edge OF the cap with Val
enciehnes lace and beading run with
ribbon.
A silk lining. the same color as the
ribbon, will show dainty through the
thin lawn. Lawn strings finished on
the end with featherstitching and lace
can be used. These can be pinned
on with small gold pins. or tackled

SOFA PROPS NOVEL
GIFTS TO THE SICK
Made Of Three Thin Boards
Padded Comfortably With
FIanneIette

One often experiences diffculty in
giving comfortable prop to an in
valid when reclinig on the sofa is
necessary. Pillows are apt to sink into
mere nothing, and, uniess ,nvy are
numerous and very good, the Feeble
body does not get the proper support
it needs. A very neat contrivance
can easily be made. II is always nice
to send a sick friend some little gift
if il can allay their sufferings In the
smallest degree, so grasp this good
idea and put itinto practice.
Obtain three thin boards about four
inches wide and two feet long. Pad
each one with strips of flannelette, or.
better still, wind sheets of cotton
wool round, and secure them in place
with a long strip of anything soft
Lay these boards side by side, allow
ing about an inch or so between
them, and thus secure the size that
the outer covering should be cut. IL
can be made of serge or tapestry, but
corduroy velvet is not expensive, and
has the advantage that cushions will
not slip easily from IL.
Having cut out two plain pieces,

cover, leaving one end open. Make
four rows of stitching, and this forms
three pockets in which to slip the
padded boards, the whole thing can
be folded up. The end, which has
been left open merely to enable the
boards to be inserted, is finely sewn
up, and a silk cord put on all round
finishes it prettily. This excellent
little contrivance can be adjusted to
any single angle, and used also in a
chair by anyone who has a weak back
and likes an extra support when
seated at table.
II you are making this for a pres
ent, find out the prevailing color of
the invalid's room, as It will be rest
full to the eye and be appreciated
more if it tones with the general sur
