CHANGE IN POSTAL SAVINGS

Larger postal savings deposits
will now be accepted at the post Of
fee. This is made possible by al,
important amendment to the Postal
Savings Act just approved by Presi-
dent Wilson. A postal savings de-
positor may now have an account
amounting to $1,000 upon which in
terest will be paid. Formerly $500
was the maximum amount he could
have to his credit. This enlarge
ment Of postal savings facilities will
be very gratifying to thousands Of
depositors who have already reach
ed the old $500 limit and are anxious
to entrust more Of their savings to
Uncle Sam. Another feature of the
amendment that will avoid further
embarrassment to the public and to
postal officials is the doing away
with the limit on the amount that
could be accepted from deposito-
monthly. Under the old law only
500 could be deposited in a calen-
dar month. The amendment abol-
ishes this restriction. While the
Postal Savings System has already
proved signal success as is shown
by the fact that more than half-a
million depositors have over eighty
million dollars standing to their
credit, still it has fallen far short o.
meeting the full demands Of the pub
lie because of the restrictions which
have now been eliminated. Post
master General Burleson and Third
Assistant Postmaster General Dock
cry have been tireless in their
forts to secure a modification Of the
limitations and the new liberallz1ng
legislation is particularly gratifying
to them.

Goind Home to Mother.

Just what is meant by going home to ones mother. in its larger sense, is perhaps little difficult to define Yet. surely, it must be a very universal ex- perience. Have we not all at some time-often following a period of con- fusion and stress of circumstances suddenly experienced that deep sense of finding ourselves where we belong ed? A sense of restfulness, of home coming, of general rightness and well doing? It is sloughing off of the non- essential and the trivial and shifting of the spirit into deeper and simpler channels; pause, when fin the midst of all this mad dance of time and cir cumstances one gets a sudden, enlarg- ing glimpse of truth and of eternity Atlantic Monthly.

strenuous Admiralty Law.

It was th2 c&rly days of boat travel on the Ohio river when even pas sengcr steamers stopped at landings on is. lands and nain,ands for freight. We had made all island landing. and a wealthy passenger had left the boat to buy cigars at the islands tiny store. He bought S5 worth and presented n hundred dollar bill in payment, where upon the storekeeper offered him S5 fin change, asserting that he had received only S10. The customer returned to the boat and related his tale of woe to the captain, who at once went ashore and informed the storekeeper that un- less the change was at once forthcom- ing he would hitch cable around the store and drag 1t into the river.
 The storekeeper still refused, and the captain departed for his boat. A cable was quickly passed around the little building, hitched to the vessel and full steam ordered. When the shack tot tered upon its foundations, the fright ened storekeeper appeared, the missing bills futtering in his hand!-New York Post.

Hot Milk In Mashed Potatoes.

"The reason that really good mashed white potatoes are such a rarity in this bitter world is that the milk isn't heat ed before it is put into them," said the domestic science teacher. .... !
 And yet" said the pupil pensively, 'I have seen wonderful cooks put in cold milk"
 But that was while the potatoes were burning hot and on the stove, insisted the advocate of the hot milk dressing. "The potatoes were so aw- fully hot that they heated the milk. The safest way is to heat the milk and to use also plenty of butter, pepper and salt, Then beat and beat them with q fork. Never use a spoon. You can't beat them too much for their own good."-New York Herald.

Skeletons are used in cemeteries, lab oratories and museums. After battle. they are frequently bleached before be ing stored away for the winter.

He Proved His Case.

 "Yes, suppose so," replied the other.
 People are too sensitive-altogethe too sensitive."

Why 1t Burns.

There are a number of chemical sub stances which when applied to the skin will cause a burning sensation, and mustard is one of these. 1t acts on the tongue and other sensitive parts of the body as an irritant. 1t causes the blood vessels to swell and discharge some of their contents. If it is left on the skin long enough 1t will blister That is what happens when a mustard plaster is applied. Under the mustard plaster we find red patch produced by the swelling of blood vessels. This causes pressure on the nerves that pro. duces the sensation we call burning.

MADISON GRAIN MARKET.
SIOUX CITY LIVESTOCK MARKET

Sioux City. May 10 While re
ceipts of cattle for the six-day period
shows expansion. the salable supply
runs somewhat below both last week
and the corresponding time a year
ago, the total including the southern
stockers that have been unloaded at
the local yards for feed and water.
Fat cattle trade is closing at the
highest level for the week. Condi-
tions varied, opening sales being
slightly lower, while since that time
the market developed strength each
day and an advance on both steers
and she stuff amounting to Is a 25c
for the week.
Stocker and feeder situation has
been satisfactory this week. Demand
has balanced with the supply coming
and prices for practically all grades
have been maintained on a firm level
with the close of last week.
Week end hog trade drew a mode
rate, but even, run with sales quoted
steady to sc higher. Top for the day
vas $9.70, with the bulk of the sales
from $3.50 a 9.65.
Not enough sheep business has
been transacted at the local barns to
given much of a test to prices. For
the most part the supplies have been
direct to packers from other mar
kets, indicating that now enough
stuff is coming to supply the trade.
Conditions have been favorable and
the advance of 25 a 40c noted at 9th
er centers can safely be quoted here.
