 Commissioner Jones also believes that the passenger rate case, whic involves rates from points in Ari- zona to points east Of the Missouri river, will be decided by the inter state commerce commission in favor of the -AriZona contestants.
 The inter-mountain rate case in wolves freight rates to intermediate points, Under the present freight rulings. rates to intermediate points are larger than to terminal points It is the belief of the Arizona com missioner that a graded system of charges will he put into operation which will ena ble the manufacturers and producers of this state to com pete on ar equal scale with similar merchants in California and Texas.
 One entire day was devoted Dy the interstate commerce commission to arguments by the railroads and cities which were opposed to a revision of rate, while an equal length of time was given over to representatives of cities and states favoring a revision of the rates, said MT. Jones. The contention of the Arizona representa- tive was that in the past discrim- inatory rates have been charged shippers of this state.
 The passenger rate case is also one of much importance to cities in this state Under the present condi- ti0ns the fares from points in Ari zona- to points east of the Missouri river are almost as great as rom Pacific coast points to points east of the Missouri river.

DTS from Phoenix high in the annual state track and field events with a to- tai of 2S points as compared with 24 for the Coyotes Benson was third with 23, Winslow fourth with 10, Mesa fifth with 9. Chandler sixth with s. Clarkdale seventh with and Wilcox eighth with 1.
 Phoenix representatives were easily superior to other contestants in the track events, having clearly defined advantage in the dashes. but the weak. ness in the field events was too great an obstacle for them to overcome. In fact, Gila academy made practically all of it's scores in the field matches.
 Peculiarly enough, new state records were hung up by each of the first three teams The first mark to be shattered was when D. Nelson of Gila turned the half mile in minutes, 9 3-5 seconds. The old record was minutes, 10 2-5 seconds.
 It wasn't long before w. Etz, the in dividual star of the meet, broke the state shot put record ov tossing the

The man who is drafted has very few opportunities other than to be just soldier. Drafts are invoked for the purpose of filling the ranks with privates. Men who vol unteer, and who are already in the ser vice when the draft comes, have the better chance, for they have already been through the preliminary training and are ready to serve their country in more responsible capacity

RARE FURNITURE
AND ITS CARE
Points For the Homemaker Who
Has Good Pieces and Small
Children to Scratch Polished
Surfaces and Mar Fabrics.

NEVER use a dry piece of chamois
IN on furniture. All polishing cloths
should be cheesecloth-soft, pill
able and clean. Flannel makes a good
cloth. an old silk handkerchief is ex-
c%ellent, but nothing is better than
~cheesecloth. which answers every re-
quirement and does not give off any
lint when in use. For polishing pad
simply make the pad of desired thick
ness by folding over and over a large
piece of c~heeseclOth until 1t can be held
firmly in the hand for rubbing to Gre
ate friction
When furniture is soiled, wash with
soft cheesecloth run out of tepfd SOAP
suds made from white soap. Wipe Off
with the cloth run out of clear water,
after which wipe until thoroughly dry
with large piece of c~heesecloth. Do not
have the cloth soaking we at any time.
This is important. Never use furniture
polish on enameled furniture.
Gold furniture should be lightly dust
ed with soft flannel cloth, preferably a
soft cotton flannel, and should never
be rubbed. Do not handle gold furni-
ture any more than Is necessary, as the
perspiration from the hands may In
Jure the surface finish.
For light cleaning of upholstered fur
niture use a camel's hair brush having
long, soft bristles. A stiff brush Is In
furious to all tapestries, velours, silk
and damask covered furniture. Care
should be used even with the softest
brush to brush always with the nap
and never against 1t. If very dusty,
upholstered furniture should be beaten
once a month, provided the work is
done carefully, as follows:
Make q soft beater by mailing strips
Of soft cloth to q broom or long brush
handle. Next the furniture with
clean, soft muslin cloth and whip gen.
tly with beaten. Shake the dust out of
the cloth every little while and give
a final brushing with a camel's hair
brush, as mentioned above.
To remove grease spots from fabrics,
If the fabric is washable, cover the
spot with a solution of soap bark and
hot water and let stand very wet with
ing off. If the material will stand boil
ing and the spots are obstinate wet
with a solution of soap bark and hen
tie article up In cheesecloth and boil.
To remove spots on velvet rub lightly
and very quickly with a soft cloth satu-
rated with chloroform. using every pre-
caution not to inhale the fumes; then
rub lightly with a clean cloth until dry.

Housework would be less the drudg-

Very few housewives know that If
fatirons are allowed to get red hot
they will not retain their heat so well
afterward and will become rough.
When the irons seem inclined to stick
to the articles being ironed, sprinkle a
little salt on a fat surface and rub the
iron on it.
If you possess a copper kettle try
this method of cleaning it: Halve a
lemon, dip in salt and rub the kettle
with 1t. Afterward rinse thoroughly
and polish with soft cloth.

Beef Tea.

Perhaps the uaost frequently advised
invalid dish is beef tea. because it
stimulates the weakened digestive or
gans. 1t is simple to make if one is
careful and accurate in its preparation.
Take a pound of round steak from
which every particle of fat has been re-
moved. cut it into small pieces and put
it in "a glass jar With a screw top lid.
Place jar in a vessel of cold water and
allow this to come to a boil slowly.
Then simmer for five or six hours. If
one has a freless cooker place jar in
aluminium steamer filled with cold wa
ter. and after this has been brought
to boil gradually set it in cooker with
out hot plate, disk or radiator. After
five or six hours an amber colored.
sparkling tea will have formed about
the meat. The latter may be made
into a paste. mixed with a little mus
tard and onion juice and provide a de-
hcious sandwich filling for the healthy
members of the family.
