Cooks on a Ghc.f.

Books are frequently ruined through
carelessness. This is less In the han
ding often than upon the shelves.
Books should not be packed tightly
on a shelf. 1t ruins the back and
causes them to tear loose with the
strain of getting in and out. Often It
forces the leaves to sag to the shelf
when pushed unduly. 1t Is Just Al had
for books to he too loose Oh shelf. ia
they warp. and the spreading leaves
encourage dust. A bookcase with the
contents at every angle is not q pleas
ing sight. There are some housekecp-
ers who think yearly busting OF the
books at housecleaning time sufRcient.
This is bad enough when they are
kept under glass: when on open
shelves 1t means ruin to valuable
books. 1t takes n little longer to dust
the backs and tops OF books on each
shelf every day. Use a soft cheese

Two suits of the Southern Pacific
involving class rates from Sacramento
to points west of Ogden, and from var
ious eastern points to Reno, are on
the docket, where they have been held
pending the decision of the Interstate
Commerce Commission in the inter
mountain cases recently handed down
A third suit brought by the Atchison
is in the same class. This case will
await the decision OF the companies
and their attorneys as to further pros
ecution before the court. 1t is ex-
pected that the suit of the Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific involving the
passenger rates will be dismissed by
agreement.
Perhaps the most important matter
which will be decided at this term is
the Chicago Stock Yards cases. In
Chicago the stock yards and stock
yard railways We're prevented by or
der Of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission from becoming interested in
the meat packing business. The stock
yard railways protested against this
order of the commission and institut-
ed suit The decision of the Com
merce court will settle this question.
, The lemon rate case is suit on the
part of the railroads to set aside an
order of the Interstate Commerce
Commission prescribing the rates on
lemons in carloads from southern Cal
ifornia to Denver, and cities east OF
| Denver.
The argument was made before the
court that when the Payne-Aldricf
tariff bill went into effect increasing
! the tariff on lemons from the Mediter
ranean, designed to protect the fruit
growers in this country. the railroads
took the opportunity to increase thei1
rates on shipments of lemons the
amount of the increased tariff on lem
ons. The railroads therefore, and no
the producers, reaped the benefit O
the ne wtariff. The Interstate Com
merce Commission issued an orde
prescribing new rates on lemons. Thu
railroads objected to the order, ant
carried the case to the commerce
court.
All cases which come before tn
commerce court are appeals from OF
ders of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission The court has original jul

is not court of appeals, because tn

not a court, and it's decisions canno
