Further Advances Are
Predicted.

The second advance this week in
sugar occurred this morning when the
price was boosted to 81 per hundred
with predictions of a still further adj

at some stores while others had ad-
vanced the price to $6.75. Watermelons
dropped this morning from three cents
per pound to two and one-half cents.
The market was oversupplted yester-
day with melons and dealers paid two
and one-half cents in the morning and
sold at that price in the afternoon.
Peaches are plentiful and range in
price from 65 cents to S1.25 per crate.
Potatoes have dropped from 20 to 90
cents per hundred according to quality.
The livestock market was active again
today and several cars of sheep from
the Owyhee sections were sold here
this afternoon Inquiries on hogs are
strong and indications are for several
big sales. Several changes are noted
in the quotations today, which are as
follows:

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

Plain gold ornaments require fire.
quent washing and polishing with a
ohamois if they are to look their best.
The worn parts of old flannels make
excellent polishing pads for furniture.
They should be covered with velvet.
Stiffen about six inches of the end
of your tape measure and you will find
it a great convenience in working.
Keep a little bag in the sewing room
for the buttons and hooks and eyes
which are cut from discarded gar
ments.
Steam cookers for canning, which
hold from twelve to fifteen jars and
have doors on the side, may be had
nodawdays.
Il is a good plan to pack any very
fragile garment like an evening gown
in a box TO keep it from crushing in
a box to keep it from crushing in your
trunk.
Always take time to open properly
the paper boxes in which crackers,
ETC., come. Otherwise moisture will
get in and injure the food.
In packing clothes for holiday trips
it is most satisfactory to put the
hats in big hatboxes, or a hat trunk,
and send them by themselves.
Fruit or vegetables which have a
short season should be served simply;
corn and tomatoes should be prepared
in as many forms as possible.
If you find the luncheon you have
provided meager, add to it a glass Of
milk for each person, and you have
provided much more nutriment.
To make iced coffee take a quart Of
hot strong coffee, add pint of scald-
ing milk, sweeten and cool. Serve in
glasses one-third full of shaved ice.
Cold corned beef Is a good meat for
summer lunc IN or even dinners: it
provides the hearty ingredient of a
meal and yet is not heavy nor over
heating.
In the hot season an occasional cool
day should be seized to do lot of
cooking-such as a batch of cookies,
or piecrust shapes, which can be filled
as need arises.
