SIOUX CITY LIVE STOCK MARKET

Sioux City, March 21.-The hog
market today showed an advance of
as compared with the high
close of yesterday. or rs 040c up
from average, top sales being at
$17.20. Cause for the fresh ad-
vance was traceable to the clamor-
Gus demand on shipping account and
packers followed the lead of these
order buyers so hat the entire trade
showed the advance.
Cattle supplies were again on the
liberal order, estimate calling for
1900, as against 1890 a week ago
and 3,425 the corresponding day a
year ago. Tone to the fat cattle
trade continued buoyant and there
was a degree of activity to the trade
throughout the session. Order buy
ers were active and local packers al
so had pressing orders. In the stock
er and feeder division, heavy grades
were steady, while light cattle ruled
somewhat stronger.
Only a very small assortment of
sheep and lambs arrived, hardly
enough to test market conditions,
and the market was nominally
steady.

ORDERS FROM BOY
HOW FORMER PRESIDENT
ROOSEVELT RESPONDED.

Sioux Falls Argus-Leader: The
wounding of the young Capt. Archie
Roosevelt brings to my memory a
visit to Washington, ID. c.. in 1907

e. T. Spencer today. while in
Washington, l had a business meet
ing with President Roosevelt, being
introduced to him by the late Sem
ator Kittredge. This was the first
time in my life, l recall, that l had
ever been introduced to a president.
II was on the alert to notice every
thing | could about the white house.
I remember that / saw young Archie
Roosevelt, who was a young lad of
about Is or 16. He had the reputa-
ton of being a very enthusiastic
football player. He seemed to have
access to all parts of the white
house. | remember a story / heard
some one tell in my presence hat
day, while there, told the day before
by the president.
Some one of Archie's friends had
called him up by phone. 1t seems
the president answered the phone
and informed the boy at the other
end that Archie was not present.
The answer came quick from the boy
Who is this talking The presi-
dent answered, This is Archie's ia
ther.' The boy replied, That's all
right, you will do. Tell Archie to
meet the team at 2 p. m. at the high
school grounds The president was
very much amused to receive this or
der from a young American boy. and
no one Endorsed the spirit of it more
than he.
This is the kind of boys we have
sent to France to battle for the de-
mocracy of the world. The presi-
dents boy is no better than other
American boys, only as a type he
makes a better example. And our
great ex-president is one of our high

USES FOR WASTE PAPER

A recent article states nowhere in the world is paper wasted as it is in material from which paper is made is increasing. There must be a halt"
 Housewives, try some of these paper economies:
 If paper bags are saved during the year they will be found very conven- tent at preserving time. Store the canned goods in paper bags instead of rolling in wrapping paper.
 Save the gummed flaps of unsealed letters. Slips to label jelly tumblers may be made from them.
 Manila envelopes, in which cata- logues are often mailed, may be used to file away newspaper and magazine clippings one may wish to save.
 Lemon and orange wrappers are fine for wiping off the oil stove wicks and blackened lamp chimneys.
 Waxed paper saved from cracker boxes, cakes, etc, may be used again when putting up lunches.
 Newspaper and kerosene oil will re- move grease from the sink and pre-. vent rusting.
 Iny the course of year many circu- lar and typewriter letters find theil way into the home. generally used Of one side only. These sheets make satisfactory drawing paper for the children,

KNITTING HINTS.

Suggestions for beginners knitting socks: Keep scissors, tape measure and wax in knitting bag, and a large eyed needle pinned on sock, ready to splice yarn, and wax end of yarn, be- fore putting in needle.
 Stitches are more easily taken up if needle is put in top of stitch, but first time knitting round, knit the lower part of it, or it will be one-sided.
 If you drop the loop of knit stitch, place it one needle back Of stitch, insert the needle in stitch, as if to pull and put over loop; if it is a purled stitch, placA loop in front of stitch and bring stitch over loop toward front.
 A stitch dropped several rows. can be taken up with crochet needle placed in stitch; with hook down, pick up first loop, turn needle and take up another; continue until all are taken up,

What Is the Proper Way to
 Sit to Appear Graceful ?
BV LucreZia BOri
The Famous Spanish Prima Donna.)

that the feet rest firmly on the floor. If not, footstool should be provided. Very short women should acquire the "footstooP' habit-having plenty in the house-so there is no temptation to let the feet dangle from a chair just because footstool isn't handy"
 The seat of the chair should be deep enough so that there is space for about three-fourths of the length of the thighs. Straight-backed chairs, while a thing of beauty to the eye at times, nevertheless don't afford the right degree of comfort. The back of the chair should be curved and of generous size so that the spine is sup ported both at the waist and at the shoulder blades.
 In other words, feel that you fit into chair. A chair may be luxur- iously soft as to cushions and yet be uncomfortable, because it sin't built correctly. The too rounded, heavily padded backs of some upholstered chairs, while making the chair appear attractive, don't permit one to rest comfortably because there is no ade- quate support for the back.
 If you read or work sE desk a great deal watch your sitting posture carefully. Have chair and desk suf- f1ciently close so you can read com fortably while sitting erect. You can test the correctness of your position by placing your arms on the desk, and if it is correct you will be able to rest two-thirds of the forearm on the desk. without raising your shoulders.
 Above all, if you are kept at desk constantly during the day, leave it if you can several times to get some fresh air and to change your position a little. Move about a few minutes, go to the window, take a few deep breaths. If you will do this several times during the day you will be less tired by your one sitting position, and will feel less inclined to slouch down unbeautifully, instead of sitting grace fully,
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-07-20

I believe that most women disclose their personalities very readily by the positions they assume when sitting down. How few do 1t gracefully
 For the most part, one sees women drop into careless. slouchy, unlovely poses the moment they are seated, and regardless of how conspicuous they may be. Slouching in chair in- stead of sitting gracefully is custom ary, not an exceptional sight in public places-the theatre, the cars and pub lie halls. The woman who occupies her seat with grace is so unusual as to be conspicuous.
 There is an art in sitting gracefully. Correct seating means holding an erect position, and yet remaining per fectly relaxed. The erect posture that is unrelaxed is so stiff as almost to cause sympathetic discomfort to the beholder. That is the ex- treme, and it is unnecessary to sit bolt upright, obviously with every muscle stiff, strained and taut.
 If you wish to learn something of the art of sitting gracefully and cor 'rectly study some of the master paint ings. See the world-famous portrait of Mime. Recamier by David. Her body is straight upright from the hips, perfectly straight upright from the hips, perfectly erect, yet hands and shoulders are relaxed in spite of their proud boise. The shoulders do not droop nor sag, the chest doesn't cave in as so many women think necessary when they are advised to relax.
 Of course, carelessness in selecting chairs and tables of the right height has much to do with the habit of sit ting in uncomfortable and unlovely positions. Therefore, if you wish to correct your habit of sitting you should first look to your chairs and tables, and make sure that they are so built as to afford the comfort and the cooperation that Is needed.
 Chairs should be of such height

Elizabeth, Duchess of Kingston, was the daughter of Col Chudleigh, gover- nor of Chelsea College, and was born in 1720. On her fathers death she obtained the post of maid of honor to the Princess of Wales. The Duke of Hamilton, attracted by her beauty, proposed to her, but, while he was absent, she married Captain Hervey, afterward Earl of Bristol. She soon conceived violent dislike for her husband, and the marriage was never acknowledged. She contrived to tear the leaf out of the parish register in which her marriage was entered, but after he became Earl of Bristol she had it replaced. When the Duke of Kingston asked her in marriage she obtained Lord. Bristors consent to a divorce. She then married Lord Kingston, who left her an immense fortune, when he died a few years later, in 1773. The heirs of the Duke of Kingston had her arrested for big amy, alleging that her divorce was not legal She was tried before the House of Lords and acquitted. She died in France in August, 17SS.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

A Jelly Hint-No matter how care fully sealed, jelly is apt to mould. To prevent this, stick four or five cloves in the top after it gets hard.
 Oiling the Cooking Utensils-When the eggbeater, meat grinder or other cooking utensils need oiling, put glycerine around the bearings and crevices. It is harmless and does not later affect the odor or taste of the food.
 Saving Celery Leaves-When wash ing celery for the table, save the leaves, wash them we'll and set in a warm place, about the stove When perfectly dry, rub through a small strainer or sieve. It will make a sav- ory f1avoring for soups and a pretty garnish for salads.
 Easy Running Screens-To prevent screens from sticking during damp weather, a never-failing remedy is to rub little common soap on both screen and screen strip.
 When putting up fruit in glasses or tin cans it is hard to make the labels stick to the metal tops. Take a nail and make a few scratches criss-cross on the metal tops. Now put labels or and there will be no trouble about sticking.
 If one needs some waxed paper quickly and there is none handy, melt some paraffin in a shallow pan and pull strips of thin paper (assue paper is good) through it.
 | When one wishes to starch small delicate articles that don't need to be very stiff, such as baby caps, their col lars, etc., iron the articles while stil wet on a starched pillow case. Thi: will give a dainty crispness.
 When frying eggs or anything tha causes the hot grease to pop in ever! direction, sprinkle a little flour int the fat before beginning to fry.

Value of White Oilcloth

White oil cloth will change a dark, dingy kitchen to one that is clean and bright. A yard of it will save you from looking at the worn-off paint at the base of the dish closet or the in side window ledge of kitchen and bathroom. A strip along the wall be- sdie the sink will catch spattered drops of dish water or dainings and may be easily cleaned with lightly soaped cloth. A yard of it will cover the top of kitchen table with some to spare. A length of a few inches more will make the tops of wash tubs slightly and convertible to table uses. The top of the rifrigerator covered in this way will be taken as a guarantee of sweetness and cleanliness below.
