in LESS STRENUOUS TIMES
Explanation Of the Difference Be.
tween Domestic Standards Now
and Those of Long Ago.

In the Woman's Home Companion
there is an interesting presentation OF
the difference that exists between the
domestic standard of young married
women Of today and those of the past
generation. How did the women OF
the middle class of a generation or
two ago manage when they could not
keep help? Following is the answer
quoted from a Companion editorial:
They lived according to their
means; they did not set up impossible
standards. and they knew much less
about the science of bringing up chill
dren. They had no special style to
keep up; gave the children weekly
bath; kept the table set between
meals; did not serve their meals in
courses, but put all the food on the
table at once; confined their social
affairs to evening" calls and parties.
and church suppers, at which they
wore the same black silk dress for at
least two seasons; in short, every
woman did only what she could. and
her friends made it easier for her by
doing likewise"

Why He Couldn't Sit Down,

Harry, aged six, is an orphan; but
an indulgent grandmother and kind
maiden aunt have taken care of him.
The first pair of knickerbockers were
secured recently. and it was proud
moment for the boy when his aunt
put them on him on Sunday morning
and he was permitted to go to church
with his grandmother. Naturally
maiden aunts know very little about
the arrangement of knickerbockers,
and there was a suspicious fullness in
front and an equally mystifying tight
ness in the back to be observed. as
the little chap trudged happily along.
In church Harry sat down, but did
not appear comfortable and stood up.
Harry, sit down." whispered his
grandmother. He obediently climbed
back on the seat, but soon slipped off
again. Harry, you must sit down"
Grandma, can't. My pants is chok-
ing me-" She looked more closely
than her dim sight had before permit
ted, and discovered the new little
knickerbockers were on hind side be-
fore. Harry stood up during the re-
mainder of the service.

LOWER LUMBER RATES UPHELD
GRIP OF INTERSTATE COMMERCE
BODY TIGHTENED.
Minnesota Tribunal Held Wrong IL.
Preventing Enforcement of Com.
missions Ruling.

Washington, D. C.-The grip OF
the interstate commerce commission
over the commerce of the country
was frightened through series of dc,
cisions by the supreme court. The
principle was laid down that shippers
suffering from civil injuries from rail-
roads must go to the commission be-
fore appealing to the courts for re-
lief.
The paramount authority of the
commission in reasonable rate max
ing was upheld by the courts deci-
sion that the federal district court of
Minnesota was wrong in preventing
the enforcement of the commissions
reduced rates in lumber from the Pa.
cific coast, Oregon and Montana points
to st. Paul, Omaha and Chicago.
Fight Most Exhaustive.
The fight over the lumber rates had
been the most exhaustive. The COM
missions rates eradicated substantial
ly all the increase in rates proposed
by railroads from the Northwest in
1908. After lengthy consideration
of the attack upon the commissions
order, Justice Lamar concluded that
the court could not say the order was
made because of the effect of the ad-
vances on the lumber industry, as
suggested by the railroads, nor that
there was no evidence to support the
commissions rates.
The court laid down the principle
that railroad dividends were not to be
sole basis for judging the reason
ableness of rates, but that conditions
as a whole were to be taken into
consideration The fact that the COM
mission allowed a higher rate to
Omaha than to st. Paul was said to
be justified by previous rate distinc-
tons between the cities by the rail-
roads themselves
The validity of the Hepburn rate
law was not involved.
