What the American people want

is this true Of the postal system.
In order to get the most efficient
service It is going to be. in my
opinion, necessary to increase the
salaries of the rural free deliv-
cry carriers, as well as the sala-
ries of the postmssters, and l
have proposed that the compen-
sation of the carriers be fixed at

The carriers. as a general rule,
are good and efficient men of
high type. The salaries now being
received by them are not sufii-

confront them. They are unable

A Arizona man writes that
n he has found some rock
which puzzles everybody
around there (where rocks are
commonly regarded with an in
terrogating eye that would sur
prise a North Georgia farmer,
and he wants to know now he
can test the correctness of his
SUSPICION that it contains radium.
There is no better way than to
call in the aid of photographer,
unless you happen yourself to be
an amateur in photography, in
which case you have the whole
secret in your own hands and
need no confdant. Here is the
process that the United States
Bureau Of Mines advises:
Take a Photographic plate and
wrap it in two thicknesses of
black paper. This, of course, is
to be done in a dark room. On
top Of the wrapped-up plate lay
KEY. or a coin, or any metallic
object possessing a characteristic
outline-the key is usually en-
ployed Then suspend directly
over the key a specimen OF the
suspected rock, or ore, weighing
at least two or three ounces. Do
not let it press upon the key or
the plate.
Finally put the entire apparatus
inside a light tight box. OF
course, the whole proceeding must
take place in the dark room,
with no more illumination than
that furnished by a photogra-
piers red light, and as little as
possible of that. Leave the box
untouched for three or four days;
then unwrap the plate and de-
velop it in the ordinary way. II
your rock contains any appre-
ciable amount of radium you will
find on the plate an outline pic
ture, or profile, of the key, or
whatever metallic object you may
have used. It will be more or
less sharply impressed according
TO the quantity of radium pres
emit
II no metallic object were used,
the effect of suspending the ore
above the plate, or letting it lie
upon it, would be to produce a

SEVEN METHODS or SAVING
Some Good Uses for Utilization Of
Leftsvers Which Will interest
the Housekeeper.

I. Save badly cut pieces Of bread
and slices left over from the table for
a bread pudding or a Brown Betty.
Save every scrap and crust to crumb
up for stuffings or to use for breading
scallop dishes, croquettes. etc.
2 Remove the sinew from the legs
Of a fowl when IL is drawn ard the
meat of the leg win be as good as that
OF the second joint
3. Cold rice should always be saved;
1t can be added to a soup. mashed into
croquettes, mixed with eggs and fried
like hominy or used in a scallop dish.
4. Leftover vegetables, when the
amount is too small to be served
again, may be mixed with gravy for
ragout, or used separately or togeth-
er for salad. Caulifiower. potatoes
and cabbage are good broken in small
pieces covered with grated cheese and
baked in baking dish, Eau gratin."
5. Small portions of leftover cereals
may be added to the pancake batter
and will greatly improve the cakes.
Or they may be rolled into balls and
fried, or added to the soup stock.
6. The tough ends of steak may be
chopped very fine, seasoned well with
pepper, salt. butter and a little onion
juice and formed into balls or cakes
for sautes or broiled for luncheon.
Scraps OF white meat may be chopped.
mixed with white sauce warmed up
and ganished with parsley and hard
boiled eggs The carcasses OF fowl and
the bones of roasts should be used
to make nourishing soup. Beef fat
and drippings and the fat from pouL
try should be clarified and kept for
frying. Wings and legs of fowls that
are left over are good grilled for
luncheon.
Z. Sour milk may be used for corn
bread, griddle cakes, ginger bread and
biscuits. 1t may be made into cream
cheese or turned into a refreshing
drink BIZ icing 1t and whipping it for
about five minutes with an egg beaten.
