Household Notes

If vegetables are overcooked. their texture toughens, their flavor is somewhat destroyed and they are not so digestible.
 All milk buildings intended to be eaten at luncheon should be prepared as soon as breakfast things are cleared away
 Cakes should not be placed in a, cold place or at any open window to cool. The steam will condense and make them heavy.
 To clean light-colored satin shoes. rub the satin with a flannel dipped in spirits of wine. turning the flannel from time to time.
 Very small cakes require a quick oven, so that they set right through and the inside is baked by the time the outside is browned
 When the hemstitching on bed linen breaks apart, cover it with a row of feather-stitched braid, neatly stitched on at each side.
 For pumpkin pie use one egg and three tablespoons of fine cracker crumbs to pie. It is better than when more eggs are used
 To get rid of mice. hunt out their entrances to cupboard or pantry and plaster them with mixture of soft laundry soap and red pepper.
 A simple way to prevent meat from drying when it is roasted in a gas stove is to place stone jar half full of water in the corner of the oven The steam will keep tho air in the oven cInoist. . .. .#. ...-.~.

Yuletide will soon be here. Your
letter of good cheer to friend. or
your package that you send as a
present, will not be complete with
out the Christmas Sticker. The
ked Cross Seal is as a representa-

sucker you can buy. Besides the
entire proceeds from the sale of
ked Cross Seals is spent in the fight
against tuberculosis.
The people in North Carolina who
desire to do some good, who de-
sire to be of service to mankind
bought million of these Red Cross
Seals last year and used their let
ters and packages and the $1O.OOO-
w they paid for them was everv
bit spent in North Carolina, fighting
tuberculosis.
The larger part of the money is
used in the community where the
seals are bought. In some places
they employ visiting nurses; in Of
hers they sent patients who are un-
able to pay to the State Sanatorium:
in others they bought eggs, milk
and food for tuberculosis patients
who were unable to provide these
hings.
Why buy Christmas Stickers
from a corporation when YOU can
do as much good as this with your
money? These Red Cross Seals will
be on sale in every town and in ev
cry community in the State. Buy
them, use them, and enjoy the good
you can do to others thereby.

SOUTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY
10 shippers and Receivers of FREIGHT
in North Carolina:

10 shippers and Receivers of Freight
in North Carolina:
Attention is called to revised
tariffs containing rates for the trans
portation of freight between points
IN North Carolina, effective October
Is, 1914. These tariffs are issued in
accordance with the decision of the
Special Rate Commission, dated
August Is, 1914.
All freight tariffs of the Southern
Railway Company in conflict with
the provisions of this order have
been Cancelled or revised to conform
TO the rates, rules and REGULATIONS
prescribed by the Special Rate Com
mission.
Special attention is called to the
fact that in the application of this
new law, many important changes
and new conditions are brought
about. the knowledge of which is
essential to every shipper and re-
celver of freight in North Carolina.
Ordinarily there is but one rate be-
tween any two points within the
State. Under the new law there will
DE as many rates between two given
points as there are available routes
between such points. A new basis
for making joint rates with other
ines is provided and the shipper
has the right to select the shortest
available route. Some of these
routes. while physically shorter
than others, are longer from the
standpoint of efficient service, and
the movement of freight via these
unusual routes will necessarily re-
qulre more time than if sent via
more efficient routes.
Shippers should in all cases insert
in the bill of lading the route over
which it is desired that the ship
ment move. If shipments are tender
ed to Agents of this Company and
destined to point on it's own line,
but without specified routing in
structions, it will be assumed that
1t is the desire of the shipper that
the shipment move over the South
ern Railway at its lawfully establish
ed rate, even though lower rate
may be in force via another route.
For further information apply to
the Agent of this COMPANY at this
Station or to the followinb officers

WAR news CONDENSED

A Central News dispatch from
Madrid says it is reported from Lis
ben that Portugal has declared war
against Germany.
Ihe message which lacks official
confirmation, is published in Madrid
with all reserve.
After eleven days of seige Ant
werp the most strongly fortified city
in the world. surrendered to the
Germans on last Saturday.
The big battle of the Aisne i
still in progress and the end is not
in sight.
The latest French official COM
munlcatlon declares there is nothing
to report. except a notable advance
in the region of Berry-au-Bac, while
Petrograd gives out the correspond
ing statement that Warlike op-
erations continue along the Vistula
and San rivers as Przemysl and
south as far as the Dneister. A great
battle along this front may even
now be under way and in any event
it cannot be long postponed.
Vienna reports that the Austrian
offensive continues north and south
of Przemysl and that Jaroslau, an
important fortress taken by Russia
several weeks ago, has been re-
occupied by the Austrians.
A dispatch from Nish says that
acting on Instructions from the Ger
man general staff Austria has con-
centrated on the banks of the Drina
the greatest army yet sent against
Servia, in final and supreme effort
to crush that country. Fierce out
post sklrmishes already have been
reported and big battle is said to
b 2 imminent
With most of Belgium already
occupied there is nothing that can
stop the invaders reaching the coast
unless the British naval guns are
able to render tenure impossible.
The length of their stay will, of
course, depend upon the outcome of
the great battle now said to be open
ing near the frontiers parting the
provinces Of west Flanders and
Hainaut from the French depart
ment of the north. There is reason
to believe that the left wing of the
allies has been strongly reinforced
and in orde- to strengthen German
forces in this vicinity Gen. Won
Kluck has thrown an entire army
corps into Lille.

Delegates from the west and mid

south of the Potomac and east of
the Mississippi, where the rate Der

Greatly reduced rates have also
been granted in western territory
as on the eastern trunk lines, so
that all delegates and visitors will
find travel possible at an exception

On account of the great improve

make the trip by automobile are
members of the State Board of
Public Roads of Rhode Island who
expect to attend the Congress in a

ant factors which have made for
better road conditions between
Washington and Atlanta is the CO.

the general impression which exists

WAR MEANS RUSH OF
Big Liners TO U. S.
American Registry Undoubtedly viii
Be Sought by Transatlantic Steam
ers in Case of General Conflict.
COMMERCE. DEPARTMENT SILENT

In case OF general European war n
| is regarded by government experts in
shipping matters as probable that some
OF the big trans-Atlantic liners will seek
American registry.
This could be done either by special
legislation of Congress-, which would
lay down new conditions as to Ameri-
can registry. or II could be done as to
vessels not over nve years old under the
Panama Canal act, providing the entire
ownership was taken over by consent
Of the United States.
At the Department Of Commerce yes
terday officials were unwilling to be
quoted on this point, because they are
chary OF saying anything which sug-
gests a general European conflict. But
II was pointed out that big war would
play SO much havoc with European
commerce and shipping lines. and make
registry In this country so desirable,
that efforts to dispose Of vessels to
Americans would be probable. At the
same time. there would be demand for
shipping here
II Is regarded here as entirely con-
ceivable that the threatened war might
give the country a great opportunity to
rehabilitate. its merchant marine, de-
stroyed In large measure in the civil war
by privateers. This matter Of American
registry may become Of extreme import
ance.
Rates for commercial business may be
expected TO soar under such circum-
stances.
