this important item of society news,
as naturally the details of the forth

the early recovery of the lady Of the

The postof11ce department is to be
congratulated on general order 1901,
which provides that unstamped letters,
unless there is reason for believing
that the stamps were purposely left
of, shall be sent along to their destin-
alton and double postage collected at
that end. Under the old regulations
when a letter was received from which
the stamp has fallen off or had acct
IDENTIFY been left OFF it was held until
the sender was notified and proper
postage had been collected from him.
This caused unnecess~" delay which
was often annoying when important
business mail was treated this way.
This simple order should have been
made effective in the postal service
years ago. The only objection that
could be made to the order is that it
may cause the receivers of letters to
pay postage. There will hardly be
enough people to take advantage of
the order to cause any general CON-
plant, because simple pride will pre-
vent people from purposely leaving
off their stamps and allowing the re-
ceivers of the letters to pay double.

Agricultural college extension. %
The comment of this paper was that
the levy for capitol extension is a third
as much as the total for the other state
institutions. The Des Moines Regis
ter and Leader figures it out different
", claiming that 1t is a fourth OF the
total. That is true and we offer alb
1ect apologies for our failure to point
out to the Des Moines paper that five
tenths of mill is fourth of two mills
MS we'll as third of one and half
mills. We are glad that the Register
and Leader called attention to the fact
that the last legislature made the
capitol park state institution. 1t
certainly is state institution now.
and will have to be supported by the
taxpayers Of the state just the same
as the schools and university, the peni-
tentiaries and the other state institu-
tions. It is state institution that the
legislature has fastened around the
necks of the people for all time to
come.
We will admit that we should have
said: the capitol extension levy Is one
third as much as all OTHER special
state Institutions levies combined. In
other words we admit that five mills
is fourth of twenty and we still main
tain that it is a third of fifteen.

SOME DEALERS CREAM
 BETTER THAN OTHERS
Food Inspector Crowley Reports
 to Beard Of Heath.

pr. George T. Crowley. inspector of food, milk and meat, at the monthly meeting of the board of health last evening, reported on his inspections of ice cream. He considers twenty-one per cent of butter fat in ice cream as or six per cent poor.
 The report on his examination of ice cream follows:
 Leonard's Confectionery company, c1 per cent fat; John Ravizza, 1s per cent fat; c. E. McEnroe, 15.5 per cent fat; Star Confectionery company, 14 per cent fat: Riker & Hegeman company. 14 per cent. fat; J. M. Hallinan, 13 per cent fat; James A. Spinetta, 12 per cent fat New Ha- ven Dairy company; II per cent fat; Leo Fusari & Son, per cent fat; An- ton Viola tFusari's cream). per cent fat: Anton Bassa, per cent fat.
 Contrary to the opinion of some however" states Dr. Crowley, there Is no set standard for the quality of ice cream. My idea is to try and induce the dealers to put only the highest grade milk and cream into ice cream and the cream having the highest percentage of fat is the most beneficial"
 Inspections Made.
 During the past month Dr. Crowley inspected six barns and dairies, nine teen COWS. eleven samples of ice cream, 1S4 samples of food and made three prosecutions. He condemned two veals, one lot of peaches, one lot of tomatoes. one banana, thirty three muskm elons and seven quarts of milk.

Silk and Net Gowns Are Embroidered. Ruffled and Have Transparent Sleeves A Charming Dress Is Made With Basque Waist Which Is Fastened By Buttons of Covered Moire e- Pretty
 Hair Ornament Needed for Present Style.

Two attractive evening dresses arc shown in the misses department e a good shop. The ruffle model is d very excellent example of it's kind and is especially appropriate for a dancing frock. It is made of pur pie charmeuse, with surplice waist of silk net, which is transparent at the shoulders The neck is nicely finished and forms V both in the front and back. The short sleeves are of net finished by two ruffles. which are piped with the purple charmeuse.
 The skirt, which has enough full ness for freedom of movement when dancing, has three short ruffles of net, which are also piped with char mouse At the left side an Alice blue crushed flower is placed. This dress is most attractive.
 Organdie Basque and Taneta Skirt.
 A dress that is quite charming is made with the basque waist, which is fastened by buttons of covered ~~ the basque, which is below the hips. The long set-in sleeves are of or gandie, like the waist, and are nn- ished by ruffled cuffs of the organdie piped with black organdie. The skir> itself is of white taffeta, held in at the ankles by an elastic which re- leases a small ruffle.
 The taffeta skirt has long, far ing tunic of organdie, finished by ruffle of organdie piped with black. There is a wide girdle of white taf- feta which is put loosely over the hips and tied in a bow on the side. The waist Is rather high at the neck. and has close fitting half-collar of organdie. An odd feature of this dress Is the pink rose placed at the left side of the collar. under the ear. One could hardly find a dress that is cooler and more pleasing for summer weather than this.
 With the rreaent style of hair ar- rangement one needs a pretty hair pin of some sort. Those that seem the most attractive are of demi-
