COUNCIL PASSES
PHONf ORDINANCES
But PETITION IS DENIED
CITY FATHERS DECLINE TO
TAKE LEAD IN RATE IN
CREASE LITIGATION.

The city council took couple of
twists in the tail of the telephone
trust last night by passing ordinances
taxing the poles and regulating the
manner in which they shall be placed,
out declined to grant petition sign
ed by 1872 subscribers asking that the
city assume the cost of litigation in
/ an effort to restore the old rates by
! court order. One of the ordinances
passed assesses a tax of 25 cents for
each pole maintained in, the city and
the other places stringent regulations
as to the manner of erecting poles
and wires. Both ordinances are Off
cially published in today's Log Cabin
Democrat.
The petition, a copy of which was
published in this paper last week,
was read, but it was apparently the
unanimous opinion of the council that
the city should not burden itself with
the cost of litigation in an effort to
prevent the increased phone rates,
and the petition was denied
An ordinance forbidding the stor-
age of infiammable oils within large
territory of the city was laid on the
table by vote of 6 to /, after the
ordinance committee had recommend
ed that it be not passed.
A resolution was adopted prohibit
irj the construction of a septic sew
age disposal tank within ,the city
limits.

The question Of assessing tax
&gainst shows playing outside of the

USE OF THE MONOGRAM

The correct size for a monogram or
initial letter on a tabiecloth is from
two inches and a quarter to two
inches and a half. says Harper's
Bazaar. Ii should be placed diagonally
across the corner, just above the
plate line. The correct size for
monogram or initial letter on a nap
kin is from an inch and a quarter to
an inch and a half. That, too. is
placed diagonaliy across the corner
of the napkin. SC that it win be in
the centre OF the napkin when it is
folded. Monograms on sheets are the
same size as those on tablecloths; but
those on towels are usually two inches
and a half high. On pillow-csses they
may be either small like those on the
napkins or the same size as on the
sheets. Simpler letters are usually
used on bed linen than on table
linen or towels. Script letters are
still the favorites either more or less
elaborate. Old English letters. how
ever, are used a great deal. and one
sees letters and monographs inside cir
Giles, triangles and squares, of origin
al design. many OF them very effec-
tive. The monogram used is always
that Of the wife.

FASHIONABLE GOWN OF SILK
BY MAY MANTON

Draped skirts make an important
feature of the latest models. This
one is unusually graceful The gown
also shows the combination of striped
with plain silk that is a feature. 1t
is trimmed with fur banding at the
neck edge of the blouse and at the
lower edge of the skirt and fur will
be quite correct for a good many
weeks to come but mara bou could be
substituted If lighter effect is
wanted; or IL gowns for spring are
being considered any preferred
banding can be used or one of the lit
tie plated rulings that give a dainty
and fluffy effect. The skirt consists
Of a circular front and a separate
train, or panel. while the drapery is
arranged over the front and side por-
tons, disappearing beneath the panel
at the back. The bodice Is a most at
tractive one for combina tons of ma
terials. The foundation is plain, with
the kimono sleeves that retain all
their favor and smartness. but the
trimming portions are novel. There
is a guimpe lining that includes the
undersleeve. The plain and the
striped silk illustrated make an ex-
cellent effect. but we are approaching
change OF seasons and the newrcot-
ton fabrics are marvelously beautiful,
and there are various plain and fancy
ones that can be utilized in just this
way. All sorts of lowered and POM
padour effects are fashionable. Plain
with lowered crepe would make a
charming gown, while among silks
are to be found pompadour effects, as
we'll as striped. and a variety Of fancy
| designs that can be combined with
plain. Cotton voiles are exquisite,
and an embroidered voile with a
plain one would make a beautiful
gown of an exceedingly useful, prac-
teal sort. The skirt can be made
either with a slight train or in walk
| ing length.
| For the medium size, the blouse
will require 2 yards 81, IL yards 36 or

TO COOK VEGETABLES

Cabbage. onions. caulifower. tur-
nips,. pa-snips. oyster plant and
brussels sprouts should be dropped
into bubbling. boiling sailed water
to which level teaspoon of sugar
has been added.
Cover closely until the vegetable
comes to boil; uncover the pot and
set back In range, where 1t will sim
mer, but never boil
Boiling water breaks the cells too
quickly and the volatile oils and
vegetables salts are carried off in the
steam. You lose all that is of value
as food in the steam and the tough
tissue remains.
The salt and sugar prevent dis
coloration and help retain the natur-
al flavor.
Use a perforated cover after the
simmering process begins and cook
all these vegeta bles without a dis
agreeable odor in the house. If
you detect any odor. know that the
vegetable is cooking too fast and
regulate the heat.
A slow oven cooks them perfectly.
