Rumors have been circulated for
several days that the administration
is preparing a surprise for its free
tolls repeal opponents, which will
rival in effectiveness the so-called
Lobby inquiry undertaken against the
tariff obstructionists. Details in
regard to this proposed free tolls
backfire came out yesterday when
it was disclosed that Postmaster
General Burleson was considering
of proceeding in the courts against
certain newspapers, which, it is
charged, are publishing as news sub
sidized articles in favor of free tolls
and against the administration.

FOR FRUIT STAINS.

For blueberry and cranberry, in fact, for most berry stains, the old rule of our grandmothers holds good. Place the stained cloth over a rather deep basin and holding a kettle of boiling water at arms length above it, pour a sloy steady stream of water directly upon the stain; as a rule it will disappear quite quickly. Coffee, tea and choc- olate stains may. when fresh, be removed the same way.
 If you let them get old, however, try wetting the spots thoroughly with glycerine; let them stand d few hours, then wash with cold water and hard soap. If the stains are too deeply imbedded the opera tion may need repetition.
 Coal oil applied before washing will remove tomato stains

Fruit may be cooked in this way by the use of the time-honored glass can with a screw on-top or by the use of any of the new wide mouthed jars.
 Fruit canned In this way is put into the jars uncooked, covered with syrup made of sugar and water and cooked in boiling water until done the length of time depending upon the article to be cooked.
 Whatever method of canning is used, 1t Is necessary to cleanse everything used in the canning pro- cess. To do this place utensils, cans. etc, in cold water. place over slow fire and bring to boiling point, The water should cover the cans This not only cleanses the articles. but makes the cans much less liable to break. When the water boils around the cans remove as needed. If they are to be filled with hot fruit, set out one at a time on a cloth wrung once with hot fruit Covers should be cleansed, as we'll as all spoons and basins used. Always use new rubbers. -Womans World.

HOW TO RUN RIBBON.

In running ribbon through en- broidery beading it must be handled carefully or it will show the im- prints of the fingers. Instead of be- ginning at the end start to run the ribbon through the center measuring the ribbon in halves and fastening it at the center of the garment with a pin. Draw through one-half and then begin with the other. This makes less handling of the entire length, as the ribbon Is only drawn through that portion in which it is to stay Try this in running silk ribbon through your underwear 1t will prevent it from becoming stringy.

BEAUTY IN OLD AGE,

To improve the carriage and to ward off the stopping that comes with age there is no better practice than that of walking with a load on the head. In boarding schools of half a century ago the students paraded the room with several books on the head, thus gaining the erect carriage and beautiful boise which comes to women who bear water and other loads on the head during the course of their daily vacations.
 To remedy shoulder blades that are too obtrusive there are many exercises. The following is particu. larly good: Stand with the back against the wall. stretch out the arms with the back of the hands against the wall, keep this position for few minutes, lower and repeat again.

TO RETAIN TASTE AND COLOR
 WHILE PRESERVING FRUITS

Fruit may be cooked in the jar or in a saucepan and then trans ferred to the jar. If cooked in a saucepan no more sugar should be used than would be desirable if 1t were to be eaten fresh. To pre- serve the original color and taste 1t should be cooked as little as con- sistent with good keeping and hand led very carefully. Fruit cooked in jars in which it is to be kept has a better flavor.

Sam uel Johnson once said that he was sorry that being endowed with reason should resign his powers to the influence of the air, and live dependence upon the weather and wind"
 Nevertheless. Byron, Southey, Shakespeare, Moore and many other men of genius have entertained var ious superstitions in one way or another with regard to the weather Byron and Shakespeare often wrote bare headed under boiling hot sun, and Moore once remarked that the sun could not be too warm Rous- seau was also incapable of working on dark days, and he once remarked that it was little wonder that sui cides sometimes occur at certain periods of unfavorable weather con- ditions. All in all, there is a cer- tain potency of the east wind and the leaden sky, and it is small wonder that so many superstitions regarding the weather are existent. Perhaps many of them are supersti- tions in only that they are not based upon scientific research.

Suggestions From
Local Postmaster
In regard to Handling of
Packages at Holiday
Season

Postmaster McNamer has is
sued the following suggestions
to patrons of the local office,
and their observation will mean
the best and speediest service
during the Christmas holidays:
Address parcels fully a n d
plainly.
Place your return address on
each article sent.
Pack and wrap all articles Sc
curely, but do not seal them,
for if sealed. they will require
postage at letter rates.
Insure valuable parcels.
Above all, mail your parcels
early; they may be marked,
DO not open till Christmas"
If these suggestions are fol-
lowed out, there will be no an
noyance from delayed or dam
aged packages. The mails will
be exceedingly heavy this year
more so than ever before. and
if you delay till the last week,
your package will undoubtedly
be delayed in transit.
