TO GET MORE MONEY
Rural Carriers Salaries Boosted i
Sum of S253,o47, 1868 on
2,237 Routes.

Washington, Jan. 25.--After a
wrangle lasting several hours the
house today adopted an amendment
to the postoffice appropriation bill
offered by Chairman Weeks Of the
committee on Post Offices and Pos,
Roads, increasing the compensation
of rural carriers on s.andard routes
from 5000 to $1,000 pee annum. ef
fectva July /.
Chairman Weeks Immediately aftes
ward proposed an amendment ill.,
creasing the amount carried in the
bill for rural delivery from s3S.79c e
300 to s42, T90OO0, in order to provide
the money necessary to pay the in
creased salaries. Democrats elamorei
for the increase.
Before offering either amendment
Mr.. Weeks informed the house that
"the country is now on the verge Of
bond issue to meet ordinary ex-
penses.
Must Call Halt Somewhere.
In answer to the criticism tha
Postmaster General Hitchcock ha
failed to expend the money author
ICED in the last bill for the extension
of rural service, Mr.. Weeks said tina
official had shown disposition Il
take into account the condition of tPt
nited States treasury. He added
howevef, that within the next eigh
teen months Fourth Assistant Post
master General Degraw intends t
establishe 2237 new routes.
There must be some limit to tn
extension Of rural service said tn
chairman. 1T can not be extende'
to a point where 1t viii cost hun
dreds of millions of dollars year t
operate it. 1t is not reasonable t
expect the government, to extend tn
service so that every FARMER will b
served regardless of how far he ma
be from the postoffice and how fey
homes there may be between HI
place and the office.
The increase in compensation w.
affect majority of the rural cal
riers now in the service. A standar

provides 5000 pieces Of mail pc

Using The Best
Methods

in granulated sugar. Put into a hot
oven until coating Of brown caramel
is formed
A bottle that has contained catsup
is difficult to clean. If cold water is
poured into it and allowed to stand
the work will be greatly simplited.
Hot water has q tendency to harden
the catsup.
Lavender should be gathered before
frost touches Il, dried in the house,
then cut into small pieces, stalks as
well as flowers, and packed tightly In
TO small bags to be put away among
the clothing.
For delicious cheese balls. buy some
cottage cheese, work il smooth with
butter and season well with parmes-
an cheese. Season with salt and
papriaa, make into small balls and
serve with salad course.
To iron embroidery, the iron should
be applied to the wrong side and a
thick ironing blanket should be used.
In this way the embroidery will stand
out we'll instead of being tattened
and looks its very best.
Orange or grape fruit salad is
quickly made and will help out many
hurry-up meal. Peel the fruit, slice
thick and cut into squares. Lay the
pieces on lettuce and pour rich French
dressing over them.
If buttermilk is used in place OF
sweet or sour milk in making biscuit
the pastry will be delicious. Butter
milk makes a lighter batter and fewer
eggs are needed in a batter made with
buttermilk for cakes.
Wiplng over the top of a loaf OF
bread with a little butter before 1t is
baked and again as soon as it comes
from the oven will help to brown the
crust and at the same time keep the
crust from hardening.
When giving castor oil take small
tumbler and squeeze into it a table
spoonful of orange juice; next poul
in the oil and add more juice. Tho
! Juice will inclose the oil and It car
be swallowed without tasting.

HER BEAUTY
By Lucy X. WYNkooP.

Leonore was marvelously beautiful.
When she passed along the street per
sons would turn 70 look after her. At
social gatherings the hum Of chat
among those about her would cease,
all being intent in admiring the curves
OF her figure and the exquisite cast of
her face. From childhood, though her
parents endeavored 10 keep a knowl-
edge Of her gift from her, she could
not but know It. Persons are less
careful Of making a child vain than
woman.
Leonore did not grow TO be a vain
woman. But since the only gift Of
which she was made aware was her
/ beauty. she came to prize it. Seeing
/ others about her cOurted for this or
that possession. she came to regard
her own blessing as the only means Of
keeping her in her eminent position.
So long as her beauty lasted so long
would she be admired. When her
beauty was gone she must sink TO the
level of ordinary persons.
But one real lover worshiped Leo
more, and unfortunately for him he
could find no corresponding gift to
hers in himself to warrant his aspi-
rations with regard to her. He con-
sidered himself as set aside by fate
from possessing her; not an adverse
fate, simply fate. At an early age he
/ found himself at the head of q fami-
ly-his fathers family. His father
had died, and the boy took up the
mans work He did not regret doing
so, nor was he proud to do so. He
considered that he was doing what it
was natural for him to do. Had he
been granted time enough before as
suming these responsibilities perhaps
he might have placed himself in a po-
sitiOn from which he could advance.
As it was. he was but a bookkeeper.
When Leonore was thirty she fell I'LL
During her illness 1t became necessary
that she should submit to a serious
operation. For weeks after it had
been performed she lowered between
life and death. For months after she
passed out Of danger she was obliged
to be wheeled about in her chair.
/ DuIAuA utA tAlAh NANoNNANN oAN W'hAe
not look into n mirror. Her nurse
dressed her hair long after she was
able 60 do 50 herself, because LeonorG
could not bear to see her altered ap
pearance. But one day she made NJ
her mind that II her beauty had de
parted she must submit to the loss
Ignoring it would not restore it. Sh'
called for a mirror.
Great heavensl We're those pal'
features hers? Was she looking out of
those dull eyes? Did that mixture
Of gray and black hair grow on hei
head? She dropped the mirror on hel
lap and covered her face with hel
hands.
One day when she had so far i'm
proved in health as to walk out sh'
met the bookkeeper. SO many persons
had passed her without recognizing he
that she wondered If he. too, woul'
do so. She had known him since child
