The Chamh1r OF Commerce of Boise
has sent ou( the following article
which the prSss of the state is asked
to give publicity:
"a signal victory was gained by the
people OF thef Intermountain territory
In the recent decision of the inter-
state commerce commission compell-
ing the railroads to equalize the Pa
cific coast ana interior freight rates.
almost from the completion of our
transcontinentAl railroads, freight
rates to destinations east of Pacific
coast points have been made by add
ing to the rate from the point of ori-
gin to thp coast, the rate from the
coast to the interior destination, in
hibiting what Is known as back-haul-
ing of freight, In other words, it was
cheaper to haul freight from New York
to Portland, Gre, thence to an Idaho
destination, than by shipping direct
from New York to said Idaho point.
"The interstate commerce commits
sion has said this practice must be
stopped for the present, due to the
fact that there is no reason at pres
ent that will excuse the railroads
from making fair and non-discrimin-
atpry rates on west-bound traffic.
The excuse in the past for making
lower rates to the Pacific coast than
to Idaho points, has been the competl-
ton of the railroads with water car
riers operating from the Atlantic to
the Pacific coast around the southern
coast of South America, and more re-
Gently, through the Panama canal.
The war has diverted the ships into
foreign trade, and we at present, have
no ships engaged in coast-to-coast
traffic The interstate commerce COM

ter competition, they would again per-
NIT rates that are less to the Pa
cific coast than to the interior. Or
ganized effort is now being made to
stay the hand of the interstate COM
merce commission from again sane
tioning this discrimination.
"A bill has been introduced in con-
gress prohibiting a lower charge for
long than for short haul, which
is most important legislative act for
future development in Idaho. If this
act becomes law, our state will then
develop upon fair and equal footing
with our eighbors-Oregon and
Washington. 1t will estop the railroad
from giving lower ates to the Pacific
coast people than to the people OF
the interior west These rate dis
ordinations are evident on both east
and west-bound freight. Nearly eve
rything consumed in this state pays
a higher rates from the east than is
paid by the people on the Pacific
coast Many commodities are assess
ed higher rates to Chicago and other
eastern points from Idaho than from
Oregon and Washington.
Freight rate discrimination has re-
tarded the growth and development of
Idaho more than any other factor, and
the time is now come when her voice
should be heard in the councils of the
nation"

UNIVERSITY
OF IDAHO HELPS
IN SAVING FOOD
SPECIAL COURSE IN CONSERVA-
TION OF LICENSED FOODS
INSTALLED HERE
Open MOSC0WLAD|
ALL WOMEN INVITED TO ATTEND
THESE SPECIAL COURES
WHICH ARE FREE

The University of Idaho has Joined
the campaign for food conservation
and is doing splendid work by the
establishment Of special courses in
preparing tempting dishes from spe-
cia1 foods the use OF which is advo-
Gated by the food administration to
save the food stuffs needed for our
allies.
The university is working in con-
junction with the national and state
food administrators and the course
is one which it is believed will not
only help in saving the foods desired,
but will be a great help to women in
many ways. The course is not only
free and open to all women, but every
housekeeper in Moscow is urged
to attend.
The national food administration
prepared q course of instruction In
food preparation to save the special
kinds Of food that are regarded as nee
essary to the winning of the war and
to use substitutes. The desire is to
make these substitutes tempting and
to prepare them so that the absence
of the staples, the place of which they
are to supply, will not be missed. To
do this the food administrator has
prepared three separate courses and
has asked the schools, colleges and
universities, and especially the land
grant schools, to give them a place
on their weekly schedule and to in
vite all women to attend these courses.
The University of Idaho, with char
acteristic enterprise and patriotism,
promptly enrolled in the campaign
and asked that the complete courses
be established here, placing the entire
staff of the domestic science and
chemistry departments at the service
of the government. The offer was ac-
cepted and the courses are now open
to the students Of the university and
to every woman who will attend. A
special invitation is extended to every
woman who can do so to attend the
courses.
These courses will be open 4
O'Clock every Thursday afternoon to
every woman in Moscow or vicinity
which wishes to avail herself Of the
opportunity to learn these recipes
and witness demonstrations Of their
use in food preparation.
The course is made compulsory for
all first and second year students in
the departure of domestic economy.
The course is prepared and sent out
by the national food administration
of which Mr.. Herbert Hoover is the
head and it is being followed strictly.
It is regarded as a valuable addition
to the schedule of the university. The
course is scientific but has been re-
duced to plain, understandable terms
and is easily learned.
1t is hoped there will be big class
at the opening of the course next !
Thursday afternoon and that a great
many Moscow women will take ad-
vantage of this opportunity to learn !
more Of how they can aid the govern
ment.

TO MAKE A LAMPsHADE
Throw a Square Material In Studied
Carelessness Over Lined Wire
Frame and Start Is Made.

One Of the simplest and at the same
time most effective lampshades is
made by throwing a square material
In studied carelessness over a lined
wire frame. For the floor lamp this
is especially artistic. The frame should
be lined with silk, either plain or
shirred on, exactly as if 1t we're to be
covered with shirred silk or plain
panels in the approved iampshade
manner of the moment. After that a

main uncut is thrown over the shade
80 that the points fall evenly. Heavy
fringe may weight the edge, or tassels
at the corners will perform the same
office. A small hole in the center may
have to be worked through the mate
rial so that the tip of the electric
fixture which holds the shade may
work through. The silk could be
tackled very lightly here and there to
the lined frame to keep it from slip
ping out of place.

FABRIC FOR LINGERIE
Wolfe Has Gained Place of Favor and
Has an Advantage Over
Satin and Silk.

Wolfe is a fairly new fabric for lin
gerie, but it has already. in the few
months that it has been used for un-
dergarments, gained prestige.
To be sure, wolfe lingerie ten or
twelve years ago would have seemed
absurdly impractical. Wolfe was too
thin, we would have said, too fragile
for the hard wear that lingerie must
have.
But those statements would have
been made in the days before lingerie
had had a chance to show it's good
points. And they would have been
been made, too, in the days before we
used fur and chiffon, tulle and satin for
lingerie. Nowadays, of course, satin is
considered n of the most durable
Of fabrics-one is tempted to say I'M
dermuslins-in the good old-fashioned
way, but un%dermuslins are now only a
part Of the matter, for most Of them
are made of silk and satin and crepe.
Wolfe has n advantage over satin
and silk in the minds of some women,
at least for underwear. They cling to
a liking for a regular Tubing fabric
for underwear. It matters not to them
that satin can be washed in soap and
water and ironed satin does not seem
so fresh and clean as cotton Of some
sort. So to them wolfe is a welcome
addition to the fabrics from which I'M
derNear is made.

Relieved the Tension.


A little boy at school saw his teacher
faint and fall. In the confusion it was
impossible to keep so many heads cool,
and the little ones flocked round the
PROSTATE lady and her sympathetic coll
leagues. But this small boy kept both
his color and his GOODNESS.
Standing on u bench and raising his
hand. he exclaimed: "Please, teach
er, can l run and fetch father? He
makes coffins." The peal of laughter
which greeted this unconscious humor
reused the teacher from her short
trance, and nobody enjoyed the young
ster's saying more than she did when
the circumstances We're explained to
her afterward. ,

"TRULY LOVED"
BY N G. eRoGAN.

lCopyright. 1915. Western Newspaper Uni,


Long years ago., Gloria lived in a
very big house, with imposing grounds
al round. Her every within had been
gratified, like the whims of q princess
In a fairy tale. Not unlike a princess
was Gloria in her pretty imperious-
ness. Perhaps if her mother had lived
the little girl might have had some
realization of life outside her castle
walls. AS it was, an indulgent busily
absorbed father, saw that nothing was
lacking for her advantage and welfare.
Gloria danced her mornings away
among the flowers, bought all the pref
ty things in town which might take
her fancy, made here and there a
friend, and knew no responsibility, so
1t was not strange, therefore, that the
child who had so readily obtained
each coveted toy, should turn from
them all to seek the u%nattainable.
To Gloria in her fresh young wom-
anhood, the unattainable, meant ro-
nance. Here alone her absorbed faith
er enforced discipline. She must learn
naught of love or lovers until calm
reason came to her. Love, in the eyes
of Gloria's father was Il youthful mad
ness which in passing often left sor-
row. Wisdom of choice, was in his
opinion, the true foundation for mar
riage. So possible admirers among
the young men of his daughters &c

In0l- nf yyo1oovn0 t. hir Io.oo
Looking up n day into the face Of
her singing teacher, Gloria realized
that here was a young man at her
side, humble. indeed, but tall and good
to look upon. So Gloria smiled, and the
singing teachers voice trembled on a
high note. After that, romance un-
folded quickly
The girl in her farthest imagining
had not been able to believe that love
could come 30 quickly. Yet, here it
was, love in the heart OF. the young
music teacher, openly patent even to
her inexperience.
His eager eyes would seek her out
upon the long piano bench, before he
had entered the o Big and alto
gether strong as John Harmon was, he
would pause all at once tremblingly
abashed in the girls presence.
And Gloria laughing her silvery
laugh rejoiced in her quickly learned
conquest.
And then came the serious awaken
ing Of John Harmon's proposal. Gloria
had never dreamed that he would dare
ask her to marry him. That was pre-.
sumption beyond possibility. She,
heiress to her fathers wealth, an ac-
knowledged princess in power to her
townsreOple; he-a music teacher
hired at So much per hour.
Gloria's heart pounded angrily as
she refused ham. Or was this strange
pain all anger? she wondered, as John
Harmon, white-faced, turned to her
and made his only response in song.
Bitterness seemed to have no place in
her lovers heart; earnestly grave, his
eyes held hers.
The heart that hath truly loved
Never forgets,
