Denver-The State Tax Commission
reduced the assessments of twenty-four
corporations nearly $4,000 from the

The greatest change was in the as

$4,000 to $324,000. This WAS done

Company, which controls the Denver
Omaha and other telephone connec
tions with the East, was reduced from

primo e.s to Show bryan pictures.

Moving pictures of Bryan, taken by
Bryan firm with moving picture
camera, are now a reality and great
success. and are being shown at the
New Princess Theatre today and to-
night, and it will be treat to every
one interested in the promotion OF
the welfare of Bryan to attend and
see what is possible of accomplish
ment backed by push and hustle, The
following features of Bryan and COM
munity are being shown and the New
Princess should be crowded with all
those interested in the development
OF Greater Bryan:
Allen Academy, A. & M. College,
Villa Maria Academy, Bryan High
School, Bryan Baptist Academy, rich
cotton lands of Brazos Valley, crowds
at Delwood park and the Labor Day
parade.
The Princess has gone to consider
able expense to provide these pictures
for the benefit OF the people of the
city, as the cost was $500, besides
labor and time. The success of these
pictures is assured, as they are very
clear and distinct and will go upon
the independent circuit. Dallas, Fort
Worth and Galveston charged %
cents admission when they used home
pictures, and had an outside party
taken these pictures they would have
cost $1,000 for 1000 feet; therefore,
those who kick at paying 20 cents for
adults and 10 cents for children under
twelve should bear in mind the cost
and expense, and remember that they
get the regular program, which is 10
cents, and are really paying only 10
cents for the home pictures. seeing
all for 20 cents The New Princess
provided these pictures at a cost to
themselves and deserve some COM
pensation for their effort to give
Bryan, the latest and best in their
line
Samples of these pictures have been
sent to Austin and negotiations are
under way for a series of pictures to
be made there. The pictures COM
menced today at p. m. and will De
shown through the entire afternoon

To Clean 6atin.-Take equal proper.
tons Of spirits Of wine and warm wa
ter. sponge the satin on the right side

and not across It. While still damp.
iron on the wrong side.
Another plan 10 to clean the satin
with the following mixture: Four
ounces Of honey. the same quantity OF
melted soap mixed with one egg and
one wineglass Of gin. using stin
brush. When the satin appears clean.
rinse in cold water: press between
clean cloths to dry or hang up to
drain.
Iron while still damp. and thorough.
y dry before folding.
Care Of Glass.-There II nothing
that repays one more for careful wash.
ing and drying than glass. First ono
must have q bowl OF warm water soft.
ened with dissolved soap. which
makes a very good lather. Too hot
water should not be used. as 1t might
crack the glass.
Have bowl OF clean water to rinse
the glass in after washing 1t and II
very hne polish be desired on It have
. third bowl Of cold water with little
ammonia in It, Wash each article sep
arately. rinse 1t well. and dry with a

Of linen or little. fluffy particles will
stick to the glass and spoil the ap-
pearance.
When 1t is washed and dried polish
with a leather kept for the glass. or
with silk handkerchief or with some
soft tissue paper.
How to Clean Silver-Have an alu-
minum pan containing about two gal
Ions Of cold water. In this dissolve a
piece Of washing soda about the size
Of an egg. and heat the solution to
boiling point. Drop into this the sill
YER to be cleaned. taking care to keep
tho whole at boiling point. Let the
silver soak for three or four minutes.
Lift out with wire spoon or long.
handled fork. wash In hot soap suds
and wipe quickly with a perfectly dry
towel. The pieces 80 cleaned will be
as highly polished as when new.
This process will neither injure
plated nor solid ware. When all the

pieces that do not look white and

To Wash Feather Boa.-Prepare .
