CATTLE MARKET.

KANSAS CITY STOCKYARDS. April 29-Though hog receipts today were fairly liberal demand was ac- tive and prices ruled 25 to 50 cents Higher than the close last week, top $l450. Butcher cattle were higher and steers steady to strong. Sheep were quoted strong, with no prime handy weight fed lambs offered Some clipped Texas wethers sold at $11.75.
 Today's Receipts
 Receipts today were 6000 cattle, 7,- coo hogs, and $500 sheep, compared with 5000 cattle, $500 hogs and $500 sheep a week ago, and 14350 cattle Is, 500 hogs, and l0,800 sheep a year ago.
 Beef Cattle
 Cattle receipts today were not as large as a week ago or year ago, and the market made a sufficient showing of strength to indicate that the decline, which prevailed last week, has been brought to an end. In most cases butcher cattle were higher and steers strong. The gen eral situation is that killers will buy fat cattle readily this week, provided they can get shipments of beef to the east without delay. Beef steers today sold at $1O.5O to $l5.50, most ly $I200 to $500. Most of the of ferings were from Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska. About forty cars of South Texas steers sold al $9.50 to Sl075. Fat COWS sold at $500 to $ll.50, and canners and cutters S400 to $650. Veal calves were steady at last weeks decline.
 Stockers and Feeders
 Demand for stockers and feeders continued small. Receipts were light and there was sufficient shipping out let to care for the supply Prices were not changed. Improved demand will prevail as soon as shipping con ditions are normal
 Sheep and Lambs Prices for sheep and lambs today were quCIeQ strong. " OOltu ISlIlDS, though wet, sold up to $20.25, and others at 5000 Some c1ippedw Texas wethers brought $l1.75, and fat goats $790. Final shipments will be made from Northern Colorado feeding sec tions this week.

WHAT A YOUNG BRIDE
J LEARNED ABOUT THE
WASHDAY PROBLEMS.
Z = = Z 4 Z = : e. Z Z Z Z : = !

This is true story about laun-
dry service and bride.
1t was just year ago that this
young wife set up housekeeping.
What to do with the family washing
was one of her first problems. Many
of her neighbofs, she observed, did
their washing at hGme-sO brfdelike,
she followed their example.
She applied to her housekeeping,
also, the budget system for family
expenditures she had learned at
school
At the end of year she summed
up the bills for starch, soap, fuel,
electric current aud other ineidentals,
added in her own time at twenty FIVE
cents an hOM--ab0ut half what a
laundress would have charged-and
discovered that it had cost her $1SS
in money alone to do her washing at
home.
The next day she invited us to
call for her family bundle--the tes-
timOny of her budget book couldn't
be disputed-it proved the false
economy Of home washday methods.
And majority Of the other think
ing housewives in this young wo-
mans neighborhood-the women who
have stopped to reckon the real cost
of washday at home-have joined
her in entrusting their family wash
ings to us.
We're sure, too, that If you'll do
likewise you will quickly be as en-
thusiastic as they. May we intro
duce you to this family laundry SER
vice that so nicely combines eff
cheney with economy? The modern |
laundry service we. offer, you see IL
