Incidentally. Hogarth lets the peo-
pie into the interesting information
that an attempt is being made to
make $36,0OO,000 graft out of un-
loading the consolidated elevated in
terests on the city.
Hogarth says it cost the Morgan
interests only s64,071 ,062 to promote
the elevated consolidation, which
the Morgan outfit now are trying to
hand the city for the small sum of
$100,OOO,OO0.
Hogarth also says that Thomas E.
Mitten, former head of the City Rail-
way Co., had notes to the amount of
$1,170,000 secretly issued to himself
in the name of the company, which
notes never were, entered on the
books.

He also charges a conspiracy be-

to get something on the City Railway

was the discovery of some 100000 in

city of Chicago as partner never

the city did not get its 55 per cent.

NEVADA 0PALS

The late issue Of the t. S. Geo

is on the list as producing jew

THE development of the opal
deposits of humboldt County,
Nevada, was attended with much
success. and a quantity of magnif-
icent gem material was obtained.
The opal is of an unusual type,
consisting of dark translucent
mineral with variety of rich col

supply gem equal if not super

FALSE ECONOMY
BY GOVERNMENT.

For years past it has been the
policy and a proper one that the
streets surrounding and adjacent
to the Government Building be
sprinkled. For some reason, pre-
tended economy to the amount of
a few dollars a year. this service
has been discontinued. with the
result that those streets are dus-
ty and dirty and something fierce
when the wind blows.
And this is not all, the proper
ty owners on these streets and
facing the building cannot have
the streets in front of their
place sprinkled, as the Govern
ment gets the bentiet and will not
help pay for the service.
Uncle Sam or whoever is to
blame in this matter should be
touched-up on the question and
see that the street sprinkling is
at once resumed.

EFFICIENT
OUSEkEEPIN
ITO Market, To Market"
BY HENRIETTA D. GRAUEL
domestic Science Lecturer)

Times have changed, new fashi ems have arisen, new things to eat
have appeared, and upstarts laugh at old customs. but in every com
munity there are women who still go marketing with market basket
on their arm as their mothers and grandmothers did before them.
know what they ar looking for and when they find it they Invariably
have a bargain.
If more city men and women aid not have a false pride, and were
not ashamed to be seen carrying bundles, the bottom would drop out
of high prices. Full weight would be given and better living would g
suit.
False pride is one OF the most costly possessions you can have.
The telephone is convenient and necessary, but it should not pre-
vent any woman from visiting the source of her daily food supply, and
selecting at first hand her famiy's food.
In almost all good sized towns the delivery service Is taken adj
vantage of. A few days ago a groeTs telephone rang, send me a
bunch of carrots, FIVE postage stamps and a nursing bottle for the baby"
said a voice. That order meant that some enc must cross the street to
the druggist for the bottle and stamps and that a clerk, the order girl
the delivery boy and the horse and the wagon must all be brought
into use simply to accommodate. This a not an extraordinary order.
Is it any wonder that grocer charge just as much for goods that you
carry home yourself? They must make their profit SOM place.
This state of affairs has paved the way for stores that have no
credit and no delivery. At first people rebel1ed when these stores ap-
peared, but when it was found tina: meat a sold from FIVE to fifteen
cents cheaper o n the pound than in other shops that delivered, they
opened their eyes.
Chicago has a number OF the non -delivering stores, Cleveland has
seven, Indianapolis two, and eleven other stable, middle state towns are
supporting similar establishments. Ask your grocer what the expensive
item of keeping up his business is AID he will say, Delivery service,
and will tell you that PENSIONERS would pay cash for goods, and carry
their small parcels themselves, he could sell cheaper.
Visiting the markets and stores quickly gives anyone ideas N the
food question and it will not be very long until the uptodat woman is
asking herself What is a bushel of potatoes, and how many apples
should go to a half bushe1 basket" or, Il wonder if it Is not better to
buy butter in bulk than in prtnts?" That is only the beginning; she
buys a set of scales and weighs her package goods and soon she stops
Instead she orders by pounds or pecks. Instead of paying fifteen cents
for a pound and a half of rolled oats packed in a fancy carton, she
buys them in bulk three pounds for lei cents, weighs the purchases and
gets value for her money.

Frocks for little girls are very likely to
include much the same features as the
gowns designed for their elders. This
charming little dress is an example Of that
fact. 1t is quaint and dainty and, at the
same time, very simple. The blouse is a
very plain one with sleeves sewed to the
armholes. The neck edge is finished with
an extremely pretty fancy collar that
extends over the shoulders in deep points
and is finished on its edges with a wide
frll of lace. There are two sleeves provided,
short, plain ones and quartz ones that
are slightly full at both the upper and the
lower edges. The foundation skirt is a
t~wo-piece one and the tunic is in two
pieces. In the front view, this tunic is
drawn in at the lower edge and, beneath
its edge, there is an accordion plated
nounce. The effect is charming but the
tunic can be left free and the ~flounce can
BE- omitted. There are almost innumerable
fabrics that are appropriate for this design
for all the new materials are soft and lend
themselves readily to drapery and to
