FOREIGN POSTAL RATES

Because of a widespread mis-
understanding of the postal rates
on letters addressed TO foreign
lands the postal authorities have
issued a bulletin to Postmasters
with the request that the attention
of the public be called to the
rates prevailing.
1t is pointed out that the only
countries to which 2 cent or
domestic rate is in force are
Canada, Cuba, Mexico, New
foundl&nd, the Canal Zone, Re-
public of Panama, Germany. by
direct steamers only, England,
Scotland. Wales, Ireland and the
city of Shanghai. China.
To all other foreign countries
the rate is 5 cents for the first
ounce or fraction thereof and 8
cents for each additional ounce.
If sufficient stamps are not
placed on mail consigned to these
points, double the regular raes will
be collected at the destination of
the letter.

WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE BULLETIN

In view of the facetious remarks
going the rounds Of the press
relative to the enfran chisement of
women making it necessary for
them to give their age when regis.
tcring, attention is called to the
curious fact that many members
Of the u. S. Senate and Congress

qualifying for office, although il
is one of the requirements.
One of the most energetic work
ers in the Kansas campaign for

enthusiasm is an inspiration to
advocates of the cause throughout

EGGS AND CHICKENS

Judge c. C. Goodwin, in Salt
Lake Telegram, tells the following
interesting bit of history of White
Pine county and conditions in the
days of lonE ago:
1t comes from the east that a
process has been perfected for
tlavoring eggs. That is an old
process IN the west. 1t is simple,
to, and il strengthens if it does
not improve wish age.
The boys in White Pine had it in
perfection that first hard season
of lSGS-69 The eggs came to them
in lumber wagons from Utah. AS
Stunning that the eggs were fresh
when they left aomc, by the time
they reached their destination.
three hundred miles away, they
were like some young men who
are fresh enough when they leave
home, but in their buffeting with
the world, after awhile they take
on symptoms Of encouragement
and loss of zeal for the right which
prompted them when younger.
Those eggs were not S poiled,
but they looked better when
scrambled thar in any other form.
The flavor they had seemed 10 be
an odor Of mild decay mixed with
an entire absence of self con-
s~icousness. But in one respect they
were remarkable. The good book
tells how the prophet wandered
iL the Wilderness forty days, living
on locusts and Vild honey. If the
prophet had struck those eggs he
might have wandered forty years
on the memory IF them.
At least we know men who ate
them in that water who still have
a memory which prevents their
asking for any kind of eggs at a
real festival.
What n winter that was. No
one who was there has ever com
planned of the nigh price Of food
since. On one of those Utah
wagons one day there came in per-
haps 300 chickens. There we're
boys there who would gamble
sometimes, and they shook dice
for a part Of them. One young
fellow won a dozen of them.
There was a young Methodist
minister there, and across the
street from hin lived q middle
aged Catholic priest. The Young
man took half his chickens and
knocked on the minister's doorA
when the young man said: 81
havc brought yor three fine
chickens. but want to tell you
that | won then by gambling.
Take them right away. want
nothing to do with thcm!" was the
reply.
The young n,a turned, crossed
the street and tapped on the
fathers door. When it was opened,
he said: "Fatter, ! have brought
you six beautiful chickens. But.
father I must tell you gambled
for and won them"
The father made n grab for
them. saying: But heAchickens
are not to blame"
Treasure Hill and Hamilton also.
They are well nigh forgotten
row, except for ghe memories that
linger there. When they are re-
called one of these days they will
make a not urinte, esliDg book,
for there we're some rare spirits
there, and deeds we're performed
there as a matter of course that
made the angel of mercy weep
for Joy.

Bread Made from Drp Yeast.

In laying before readers the last recipe for bread we shall insert today, think it will be well to say if We seem to make a run upon this branch of housewifery it is from prin- cipie rather than inclination.
 Housewives, all over the country, are coming to the knowledge of the fact that by serving good homemade bread to their families they. save at least one-third upon the bakers bill, to say nothing of providing more wholesome and palatable breadstuffs than may be bought from shops or manu. factory. The economical side of the ques- ton may appeal more strongly 10 a small percentage of mothers than the wholesome ness of the homemade loaf. Combined, the two considerations are a powerful argu- ment in favor of every woman learning an art our foremothers accepted as matter of course.
 II am sure there are many women who, like myself. live where they must depend upon dry yeast for bread making. I am in- closing a formula which l studied out for my own use. It is quite correct, as have made bread by it for my own use. and it Is good.
 Hard winter wheat makes the best bread, but we can hardly ever get 1t here.

 interest. since 1t describes situation
 which in one form or another is

 Dear Marion Harland: AS we are get ting ready to move on to a farm. where fresh meat is not to be had every day, and as have been brought up in the city. am at a loss what to cook instead of fresh meat will have plenty of eggs milk. and salt meat. We are not fond of eggs. boiled or fried. You will help me much by giy- ing me some good advice MRS. K" You are fortunate in having eggs at com mand. The cost of these makes 1t hard for some of us to use them as substitutes for meat Soyaried are the methods of cooking them that you could offer them to your household in different style every day for a month. but at the end of that time you would probably have a bilious family on your hands.
 The high cost Of meat has directed the attention of all of us who have to economi2e to savory dishes which may be prepared
 
 of it 10 serve as seasoning. Some of these l am happy to give you. and I hope that the recipes will not only be of use to you. but to those who wish to save on their meat bills.
 D You have heard me dilate on the good qualities of cheese so often that you will not wonder at my giving 1t prominent .1T<. nutrition claim that it possesses three times as much nourlshment as an equal weight of meat. In addition to its value in this line 1t has appetizing properties, and when combined with bread crumbs to sup ply the starches it lacks is not indigestible except to delicate stomachs.
