daily. Seattle reports that if the
new low prices should double the
consumption, there still would bo
more eggs coming in than could he

Eastern eggs each winter. This
winter it is different; Seattle alone
has shipped 40 car loads to tbs
Eastern markets.
Feed prices are also slipn;no
and many changes will be noticeJ
in the feed list this week,
We have not been handling anv
straight bran for some time b,t
owing to few calls for it, we in
cluded 140 sacks in our last car Of
feed. Bran will retail for $500 per
ton less than mill feed.
They say the apple market is
picking up in the East. We sure
hope this is true, but we want to
sell 100 boxes of Romes (small
tumble pack) at the big price of 35c
per box. Winesaps (small tumble

"The government has so govern

informed, required and commended,

inexhaustible supply of money to

THERE WAS A MAN

There was a man who fancied that
by driving good and fast,
He'd get his car across the track
before the train came past;
He'd miss the engine by an inch,
and make the trainhands sore,
There was man who fancied this
but there isn't any more.

ONCE GREAT INDOOR SPORT
Roller Skating Was at the Height Of Its Popularity in This Country
 in the sos

The roller skate was patented ill France as early as 1919. Since that time scarcely a year has passed with out the recording of some improve ment. Plimpton's improvement con- sisted in so gearing two pairs of wheels that they would "cramp' when the footplate was canted to either side, and thus cause the skate to move on curved line. Several years elapsed before the value of this inven- tion was recognized generally. In the meantime the inventor was busy mak- ing improvements and taking out oth- CT patents and in 1874 had brought the skate practically to it's present condition.
 The device of "cramping" the wheels secured the initial success of roller skating. The earlier inventions were crude affairs compared with the mod ern appliances. About 1864 the mania for roller skating appeared in England. Two years later the 'rinking" fever broke out in Australia, and spread thence to England and the United States Since that time the craze has appeared at intervals only to die out again. During 1884 and 1885 the sport was at it's height in the United States.

With peaches, grapes, plums and other fruits
 dish of pfums or grapes with their own foliage for a breakfast table cen tef-piece is especially attractive
 The bare table with simple doilies or runners of the blue and white Jap anese cloth with breakfast set of blue is a cool and restful sight on a hot morning, especially with such a centerpiece of fruit.
 common practice in many hotels, and often in the home, is to serve canteloupe or muskmeIons cut in halves, and the centers filled with ice. The delicious flavor of the fruit is thus destroyed The fruit should be kept on ice long enough to be well chilled for it is most undesirable oth- erwise.
 A dish of cereal eff one is fond of the uncoeked variety) may be differ ent one every morning. However. most of us prefer good dish of cooked oat- meal. cream of wheat, or graham mush once in while for variety.
 
 An ordinary custard pie VIII become a special dish if a cupful of minced black walnut meats are added just before going into the oven. A few marShmalloWs on top will make a pleasant flavor Any meringue will be more attractive if a half dozen marshmallows are placed on top just as the pie goes in for it's browning
 There are often mornings when a waffle or griddle cake will be enjoyed. Sour milk is much better for the cakes than sweet. Beat two or three eggs, separating the whites fSom the yolks, add a cupful of sour milk, one-half teaspoonful Of soda, little melted shortening, and just flour enough to make q smooth, rather thin batter. Cook on waffle iron or on a griddle. A slice or two of bacon or slivers of broiled ham with toast and an egg If desired, cup of coffee or milk, with or without a cooky or doughnut, makes very satisfactory meal for the aver age person.

Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Never
 Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
 Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very successful in overcoming these conditions The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmer's SwampRoot is soon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of success.
 An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview on the subject, made the as- tonishing statement that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are re- jected is because kidney trouble is so common to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applica- tions are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease.

 To most of the people the selection of house design and the details of the contrast is one of the most impor- tant events in their whole lives. For the average man does not intend to build more than one home during that time and he wants, if possible, to have home for his children when he passes into the Great Beyond. In the planning of this new home there are many factors to be considered but the two important considerations are durability and comfort. A home pos sessing these two qualities is bound to prove successful. Too many home builders have overlooked the basic foundations of a real home in their zeal to get something freakish and different They wanted a show place, and as result lost sight of the true character of the home. few years later they have regretted their action for the so-called show place was merely d shell. and soon became the worse for wear and tear.

 But in building home like the one shown here. the average man of means cannot make any mistake, for it em bodies the two important features, strength and comfort. It is evident that charm has not been sacrificed in any way to gain this result. In fact the exterior is very attractive and en- hanced by some architectural touches that make it very appealing and strik- ing It has borrowed some of the

 One of the most appealing features is the broad front porch extending across the front Of the house, screened in from insects and pests, wonderful retreat in the ''dog days" and an ex- cellent sleeping porch.

 When the screw tops on cans refuse to yield to ordinary twisting try a piece of sandpaper under the hand
 Another use for sandpaper is to place a piece, rough side down, on the zinc top of the table to hold the meat grinder firmly to the table.
 Use the pie racks for carrying pies when picnicking. Slip the racks into a pail which will be needed for water.
 When strengthening the hem of linen in making table linen, save all the threads drawn to use for alarming. The same thread makes the mended piece scarcely noticeable.
 Melt up the small pieces of toilet soap and pour into a mold. Such a cake may>be used for toilet purposes, saving several new cakes
 To brighten the fireplace brick, scrub with hot soap studs then apply a coat of hot boiled oil. The oil fills the pores of the brick and the dust and ashes do not settle in them.
 An alarm clock is a handy memory logger for busy day. Set it for look ing in the oven, putting on the vege- tables and in many other ways it will be found to be helpful. When giving medicine to one who is ill it is a valr1- able assistant.
