To keep butter cool dissolve a little
saltpeter in cold water, put this in a
large bowl ana stand the basin con-
tanning the butter in 1t, allowing the
water to reach nearly to. the top of
the butter bowl Cover the small
bowl with a piece of muslin, placing

To clean much soiled hands do not
go to work roughly with brush and
soda water but loosen the dirt by
rubbing the hands well with sweet oil
or even lard or dripping. Then wipe
off the grease as much as possible
with a piece Of soft paper or old rag,
and wash the hands with warm water
and soap.

IGNORANCE OF LAW ON PAR
Gel POST PROVING EXPENSIVE

Ignorance of the parcel post regu-
lations is costing Denver merchants
and senders of small packages hun
dreds of dollars in extra postage. A
penalty of double the first class rates
is being put on those who make the
mistake of writing brief messages
either on the outside or the inside
of parcels.
The regulations provide that moth
ing but the name and address of the
sender and the return address is per-
missible on the outside of the enyel-
ope. The department stores familiar
with the law are warning their Gus
toners, and the manufacturers are
learning the new regulations after
paying excess postage or double the
first class rates.
In forcing the penalty the govern
ment does not permit the parcel post
stamps used on the original package
to go as part payment. Instructions
regarding return of articles sent by
parcel post must be mailed by letter
separately. If a customer returns
goods, writing the name and address
on the wrapper and adding "to be
exchanged" the government forces
the payment of the penalty of double
the charge.
An order just issued reads: at is
permissible to inclose with matter of
the fourth class an invoice, in writing
or printing, showing the name and
address of the sender and the ad-
dress; the names and quantities OF
articles inclosed, together with in
scriptions indicating, for the purpose
of description, the price, style, stock
number, size and quality of the arti-
cles, the order or file number, date OF
order and date and manner Of ship
ment. the initials or name of the
salesman or of the person by whom
the articles were packed or checked
"When it is desired to send mer-
chandise as first class matter, under
ordinary postage stamps, the pack
age should be sealed or otherwise clos
ed against inspection, to avoid any
confusion in the mails as to the proper
classification. denver Post.

MAKING THE TRADE EVEN.

AT the annual fair that is held at a
small town in Russia a man observed
q gypsy and Pole haggling over the
sale of horse. When the transac-
tion was over, he asked the gyPsy how
much he had got for the animal. The
gypsy opened his hand and showed
a 1O-ruble note-worth about $5.
But isn't that very cheap"
NO. said the gypsy, "the horse is
lame"
The man then sought out the Pole,
to whom he said: you have given
ten rubles for lame horse"
The Pole smiled knowingly and re-
marked: "He is as sound as you or
l, | saw he was badly shod, and that
was ALL"
The inquirer returned to the gypsy
and reported what the Pole had said
Then with significant wink, the gyp-
sy whispered:
Hes as lame as two-legged stool!
! had him badly shod on purpose To
make people believe that that was the
cause of his limp"
When the Pole was told this, he
seemed for a moment taken aback
and hung his head; then he heaved q
sigh and shrugged his shoulders.
'Ah, WE'LL" he said, "t's all right;
1t was bad lO-rubls nots."-Youth',

BASEBALL FOR
NEBRASKA

United Press
LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. S.-The Sun
day baseball bill, permitting towns
and counties to approve or prohibit
Sunday games passed the Nebraska
senate this morning by vote Of "a
to s, one-sided majority which car
ried with it the emergency clause. A
canvass of the house of representa-
tives show substantial majority ia
vorable to the bill which Governor
Morehead, himself fan" and treas
urer of the Mink Baseball league, is
anxious to sign.
The legalization of Sunday baseball
has been political and Legislative is-
sue in Nebraska for years. At the
session two years ago Sunday base
ball bill passed the legislature but
was vetoed by Former Governor AL
drich. The "fans" took the veto into
politics and Governor Aldrich, elected
in 1910 by a margin of $4,000, was
defeated last November by 10000.
After he had been beaten, the gov
ernor admitted that it was the fans
that got his goat.

POLICE NEED PROTECTION.

CHICAGO, Feb. 8.-Who is to
watch the policemen? Also who is to
protect police stations from thieves?
These are the perfectly serious ques-
tions Chicagoans had to face today.
The first one was partly answered by
the action of thirty citizens Of the
northwest side who took out badges
as volunteer policemen to patrol the
streets Of that district after o'clock
every night. The second one is more
difficult. On the heels of the riot
precepitated by several drunken po-
licemen at dance that they tried to
break up few nights ago, story
came to light today Of how another
roistering minion of the law shot up
a saloon.

THE INCOME TAX.

Democrats are already pondering an
