ChehaIis Commissioners Consider
Steps to Prevent Flooding Of

MONTESANO, Aug. 12.-Fear that
the. Satsop river is likely to leave the
present channel and cut through the
old channel, which would entail loss
to some of the best farming land in
Chehalis county, has caused the com
missioners to request Prosecuting At
torney Stewart to give them an opin
ion as to what steps they can take to
prevent this. ma
The river is at present cutting away
the bank and at the first real high
water during the fall freshets, mas
break through and follow its old
course. This would ruin the farms
in the vicinity, as well as leave the
county bridge high and useless and
the old bed a gravel bar. .s ...,.
The commissioners are considering
the district to build dyke.

Fashions sometimes travel slowly.
Now that the centuries-old bandaging
Of women's feet to reduce their size

they have pinched their feet In smaller

So the clever faker devised a method
Of shrinking feet. He applies astrin-

have very dainty feet when shod in

To Keep Mattresses Clean.

Mattresses become soiled very easy.
A good way to keep them clean is to
get unbleached cloth, the cheap kind
is Just as good and not so heavy to
wash. Make case just large enough
to fit the mattress, so 1t cannot
wrinkle.
Sew 1t across the head, leaving the
foot open. Slip 1t on and draw 1t
down smooth, and just sew 1t here and
there to hold 1t In place. When 1t be-
comes soiled take it off, wash, iron
and replace. Cool, clean and sweet.

Cold Potatoes,

In summer we will find 1t very con-
venient to have cold boiled potatoes
for use in potato salad or for frying
for breakfast or lunch or for creamed
potatoes.
We now find bacon and eggs so
agreeable and also so easy to cook
with little heating of the house that
we can easily dispose Of the cold
potatoes by frying in bacon fat. This
will save using Of meat while giving
a good tendency to balance the lighter
