MAYFlelO SOUNDS WARNING
Railroads Must Furnish Seats For
Every Passenger on Train
Letter Regarding Matter

Austin. Tex, Aug. q. The
Railroad Commission has receiv,
ed some complaints that a num-
Der of Texas lines do not fur
nish sufficient seats for the pas
fengers using their trains and
the straw that broke the
camel's back" came to day in a
letter making vigorous complaint
against the San Antonio and
Arkansas Pass. 1t caused Chair
man Mayfield to make some en-
phatic observations and also to
sound warning that hearing
might be held to consider
whether a rule be made forbid
ding railroads to collect fares
from passengers unless seats are
provided.
The chairman instructed the
chief clerk to write to the S. A.
& A. P. at once, and added the
following:
Go after the railroad hard.
This is outrageous and under any
circumstances they must provide
every passenger seat. Unless
the situation is at once relieved
we will set the matter down for
hearing with a view of recurring
every railroad to supply a seat
to every passenger before COL
lecting or or demanding fare"
LETTER AS TO SAP.
The letter which aroused the
ire of Chairman Mayfiled was
written from Greg DRY, Texas.
and is signed by j. H. Collard. /
1t reads as follows:

Letter to Uncle Sam Spikes
Former Lubbockite is Succeed

L. w. Lowe who for a number
of years was a citizen of Lub-

tons while here writes Uncle
Sam Spikes and tells how he is
prospecting, but still advises
those who want homes of their
own or for ordinary renting
purposes to come to Lubbock.
Following are a few extracts
from his letter:
Blossom, Tex, Aug. II 1912.
Spikes & Son.
Lubbock, Texas.

What Is fermentation?

One is often called upon to supply Il
fermentation" and it seems stupid not
to understand what 1t e or how to
make and apply one. Everybody ought
be acquainted with this simple remedy
If such 1t may be called.
To make It, double a piece of old
flannel twice the size of the spot to be
covered into a small roll; place it on
the center of a strong towel, and the
towel in a deep bowl or basin with
the ends hanging out over the sides;
over the flannel pour slowly a tea
kettleful Of boiling water, plain, or
with something added to it, according
to order. Allow it to stand a few
minutes until thoroughly saturated;
raise both ends of the towel and twist
it quickly as tight as possible to
squeeze. out all the water possible;
open the towel, emove the flannel and
apply it to the affected spot, being
careful not to burn the patient. Cover
the flannel with silk oilcloth, OIL in cases
of emergency use cotton wadding,
covered with ordinary waxed paper to
keep the heat in; it is almost as good.
This little bit of knowledge Is of in
estimable value in cases of cramps,
with which children are so often
afflicted, and also in acute indigestion.

WastsfuI Savings.

The saving, in any valuable closet
or pantry, of the old and leaky dishes
or the many times burned on kettles,
which should be Immediately cleaned
out with soda and hot water, boiling
off the burned on cindery material If
possible, or thrown into the place for
secondary uses, is a natural but waste
full process.
The less Of dishes which we do not
want for ordinary uses that are pack
ed away in regular closet or pantry,
the better.
We all need more pantry and closet
room, and having every dish or uten-
sill needed and ordinarily used, in plain
sight, with no everhauling Of others,
saves much time and labor.
The leaky dishes, pans and tins
generally are usually worth saving and
can be made serviceable by soldering
or cementing, but If wanted for hold
ing potatoes. apples or vegetables then
we would be at advantage to have
them where those supplies are kept,
and II in the cellar there would be
small damage in rusting of such poor
tins, as compared with having them
clutter the pantry.

Apple Tapioca Pudding.

Springle one cup of granulated tap
ioca and one-half teaspoon Of salt into
n quart of boiling water, and cook,
stirring occasionally until the tapioca
becomes transparent. Core and pare
six apples and arrange in a buttered
baking dish; fill the cavities with sugar
and a sprinkle of cinnamon, squeeze a
little lemon juice yer each apple. Pour
the tapioca over the whole and let bake
slowly until the apples are tender.
Stewed prunes, peeled bananas, cook
ed bag figs and peaches, fresh or can
ned, may be prepared in a similar man
ner. A layer Of fruit, then a layer of
tapioca, furnishes a satisfactory way
of ~disposing of the ingredients. Serve
hot with cream and sugar.
