rHE COPPER SITUATION.

II is a good thing for the producer
Of copper that the industry was left
to work out It's own salvation for there
are now no artificial props or accumu-
lated stocks to be worked of The mar
ket is absolutely an affair of the Law
of supply and demand. The falling of
in consumption that followed the panic
Of 1907 was a natural result of the col
lapse Of the over-extended conditions
that existed. and the attacks on cor
porations since that period have kept
the consumption down. to more or
less extent. because Of the timidity Of
capital There has been a gradual in
crease in consumption, along with the
Improvement in other directions how
ever, and the copper industry has been
particularly fortunate ip being helpod
by developments in Europe. which
have led 90 a decided increase in the
foreign demand for the red metal, aid.
finally. we seem to have arrived at the
point whore the timidity of capital is
giving way to a feeling of optimism
that will lead to period Of activity
in all constructive lines.
1t is fair to assume that. given re-
newed confidence in investment cir-
cles. there will be a large increase in
the demand for copper, for there will
be a larger demand for brass goods OF
all kinds as well as in connection with
the increased use of electricity as a
power. The question Is whether the
output can be increased sufficiently TO
prevent runaway market II is more
than likely that the producers will in
crease their output in an effort to hoio
the price around fifteen cents for a
time anyway. as even IL higher prices
must be established it will be better
to have them come gradually. A hf-
teen cent price for the metal means
much for the mines.

BUTTER BY THE YARD.

There is at least one place i'm the
world. Cambridge, England. where but
ter is sold. not by the pound. but by
the yard From time immemorial the
dairymen Of Cambridgeshire have roll
ed their butter into lengths, length
being yard and weighing one pound

cloth. the cylindrical rolls OF butter are
packed In long narrow baskets made
for the purpose and so conveyed 10

II follows, therefore. that the Cam
bridge butter dealers have no need. as
they preside over. their stalls, of
weights or scales for determining the
quantity OF their wares. Constant
practice and an experienced eye enable
them with a stroke of the knife TO di-
vide the butter into halves or quarters
with almost mathematical precision.
This curiously shaped butter finds
its chief purchasers among the peo-
pie OF Cambridge university 1t is
claimed that the yard butter" is emil
nently edapted for the peculiar needs
of the students in the daily commons.

DO WE EAT TOO MUCH?


A plausible writer in the Washington

people Overcat-and overeat dangerous
~ We need more moderation and less

We eat, more or less, ton Of food a
year which is about twice as much
as We really need During the cold
months. especially. do we overeat as
the biting air seems to put an edge on
the appetite. II is all very well 10 sat
isfy the hunger. but we should do SO
judiciously.
Let US start with the morning meal
and consider tho foods that should be
eaten during the day.
IL is a mistake TO start the day dur
ing the cold months without a hearty
breakfast. which will warm the blood
and put the body into condition to re-
sist cold weather. The woman who
arises at the last minute. snatchcs n
cup Of coffee and a roll and begins her

expect headaches. poor circulation and
the minimum vitality as a result Let
the breakfast begin with a bit Of fruit
an orange, grapefruits or baked APP
ple--and continue on 10 cereal. The
foods, one and all. are nourishing. and
when eaten with sugar and milk do
double duty by heating the blood. An
egg. which everyone knows contains
the maximum OF nourishment should
be taken in one form or another. and
broad-plain. wholesome bread-should
be on the morning menu.

THE LATEST IN WALL PAPER.

When a house In New York City
formerly owned by the late Levi c
Weir. president OF the Adams Express
Co. was sold at auction II brought e
notice perhaps the most uniquely dec
GRATED room in the metropolis. IL was
found that the walls OF the bath and
dressing room used by Mr.. Weir were
papered with worthless stock certifi-
Gates. representing a total par value of
more than one million dollars. The
certificates were fine examples OF the
engraver's art ana printed in many
colors. The gaudiest ones were used
10 make the border.
That was expensive wall paper, yet
there is enough OF the same kind right
here in the copper country TO cover a
good many rooms. No one person may
have sufficient amount for even a.
single room. but the aggregate would
be astonishing.
There is. indeed. a lesson i'm Mr.
weirs experience in stocks which tall
lies with that learned by scores of
residents OF this region. wild cat
ting has fiourished here in the past,
particularly when the market was
booming. and people were eager to buy
anything that looked like a stock cer-
tifcate with a "get-rich- quick" sign
on IL. Many have profited through
their iEdiscretion TO the extent Of be-
ig immune from further indulgence Of
this kind. But experience. as usual,
has been a dear teacher.

NEW COTTON CORDUROY.

So many women like the velvet fin
ished corduroys that they will doubt
less be glad TO zee the same weave
introduced into the cotton fabrics.
The new spring cotton corduroys
much resemble the velvet ones. though
they have not. Of course. the same
brilliant finish. There is the same
cordlike weave. however, and the cot
ton corduroys will doubtless prove ms
good for hard service as the other
members of the corduroy family.
And being Of cotton. and nothing to
be hurt about them. these new spring
fabrics may very easily he washed
which will make them more useful
than ever.

AS TO IRONING LINEN.

OF great Importance is the ironing of
linen. While hard pressure is essential
to obtain luster or give perfect smooth
ness. an overdegree is harmful. as gar
ments are thus likely TO cut at the folds
which is likewise the objection TO
wringers and msngles.
Creasing should always be done very
lightly. And in the ironing of hom-
stitched towels the same precautions
should apply. as the tendency is TO
bring the iron down forcibiy against
the stitching. which Is invariably the
