MOUNTAIN HOME WATER
SHOWN FREE FROM GERMS

DR.. Evans has sent several sam
Piles Of the water from the city wa
terworks to the state bacteriologist
at Boise, and the reports received
are calculated to relieve the minds
of any persons who feared that our
supply was not pure. All of the wa
ter showed up as remarkably free
from germs, those found being of the
harmless variety, and the water it,
self is given a clean bill of health
as being absolutely free of contain

The peculiar taste which has been
noticed in the water at different
points in the city is caused by root
which is absolutely harmless.

At last the farmer has been given
closed car OF superior finish inside
and outside. that he can utilize for
various farm Jobs and chores" with
the same cheerful abandon as he does
his open touring car
Thousands of farmers have ex-
pressed the opinion that they would
gladly use closed cars II they could
press them into practical work and
get out of them the same all-around
service the touring car provides.
This has been the farmers winning
argument for the touring car over the
closed car for some years and II is
admittedly a reasonable one. Prac-
teal service on the farm means the
hauling Of grain and other material
of a highly "spillable" nature. A load
OF bran or shorts for instance leaves
a car resembling the interior of a
feed grinding room. Whole grain. de-
spite every precaution. viii persist in
creeping out of the bags and scat
ter to every corner and crevice of the
car.
Summing up practical service" for
the farmer means the haulage of
milk cans. live poultry, root crops,
cans of kerosene. machinery oil,
household supplies. garden tools. inn
plement parts. rolls. of betting and a
long list of every conceivable sort of
disable material on the farm from wire
fencing to an occasional live calf.
No wonder the farmer hesitated to
invest his money in a closed car. But
now the wonder ceases with the adj
vent of the new Overland closed car,
fttingly named the Champion. for the
good and logical reason that at 1895 1t
leads the world in closed car values
and champions" the cause of the
farmer in every respect.

LaRGE VOLUME OF BUSINESS
BY UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD

Inc railroads of the United
states this year carried the ereatast
volume of business in history with
out car shortage" declared Carl p
cray president of the Union Pacific
system, in his monthly statement
lor December entitled "And the Cars
came reprinted elsewhere in the
Republican.
Heretofore" says Mr. Grav
there has been a widespread car
shortage during each fall harvest
Last year it was 100000 cars. but
TINS year there is generally a sur-
plus throughout the country and
especially of box cars in the west
and Northwest"
Mr.. Gray calls attention 70 tba
nationwide program adopted last
spring by all the railway executives
TO reduce the number of cars and
oulld up coal storage ahead of time
SO that cars would be available for
the peak period. All these objec-
yves have been substantially at
tanned says Mr.. Gray, who calls the
showing remarkable. Specifically
the statement points out that the
roads increased the average daily
movement of freight cars from 22
miles per car per day in 1921 to 1872
miles; they reduced the number of
locomotives and cars requiring re-
pairs to 1871 and 6.7 per cent re-
spectlVely; and stored more coal
than in any previous year. "In full
illing this program" Mr.. Gray saws.
'1S4,696 new freight cars and 1893
lew locomotives were put in service
Turing the first ten months this year.
larger number than in a similar
period within the last decade"
The roads are spending more than
billion dollars this year, says the
statement, for new equipment and
'ther improvements, thus fulfilling
or the first time in twelve years ths@
rophecy of James ]. Hill, the great
abroad builder of the Northwest,
hat the roads must spend a billion
ollars every year to keep abreast of
he country's growing traffic. "Such
expenditures, says Mr.. Gray, "have
vital bearing on national prosper
~, contributing to the expansion of
ndustry and employment of labor,
Increasing the demand for the prod
cts of mine, forest and farm"
AS though anticipating the infer
nee that these extraordinary ex-
enditures are being met out of cur
ent earnings, the statement says
lat this $1,10O,000,O being spent
" additions and betterments is al
ost entirely new or borrowed
oney and tina the expenditure is
relocated on the inherent faith in
lie American people and their desire
r fair play. Even this year"
US Mr.. Gray, sit is unlikely, not
outstanding the record volume of
lsiness, that the roads will earn
e SIS per cent on their valuation
hich the law and the Interstate
Commission permit but
hich is not guaranteed because if
ey do not earn it they do not get

that "anti-railroad laws
oduce no freight cars" and the
ual request for constructive sug-
stions from readers.

PREPARING BREAST OF LAMB
Good Plan to Make Pocket Under Skin
and Fill 1t With Bread Stuff
fling and Bake.

It is often economical to buy an en-
tire forequarter of lamb, or necessary
to dispose of this part when slaughter
ing on the farm. The breast some
times presents a problem as it contains
more fat and skin and less meat than
other parts of the lamb, and If roasted
with the shoulder the meat shrivels
or grows stringy. One way Of avoid
ing this is to make a pocket under the
skin, fill it with bread stuf1ng and bake
the breast, so that the thin layer Of
meat is protected by the stuffing from
drying out. Other good ways Of pre-
pairing breast of lamb or mutton are
suggested by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. They apply
equally to breast Of veal.
Breast of Lamb With Vegetables.
Season a breast Of lamb with salt
and pepper and simmer until the
bones can be slipped out easily. Re
move from the water. in the meat
stock cook vegetables such as turnips,
carrots, celery, or onions cut in small
pieces, green beans, peas, and okra.
More salt may be needed. A rev POI
tatoes cut small may be added to cook
during the last twenty minutes.
Remove the bones from the meat,
fold it together, and secure with small
skewers or Irvine. .Dredge with flour
and brown on both sides in hot fat.
Place on a hot platter and surround
it with the vegetables which have
been well drained Use the meat stock
for SOUP skimming it when cold.
Braised Breast of Lamb or Mutton.
Season a breast or shoulder of lamb
or mutton, place in covered cas-
serole or rooster and surround by
vegetables prepared as in the previous
recipe. Add a little water, cover the
pan closely. and cook in slow oven
until the meat is tender, probably from
an hour and a half to three hours.

A good use for green tomatoes left
at the end of the canning season is
mock mincemeat, which will be rel
ished in winter pies, suggests the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture.
Tomato Mincemeat.
Slice up a quantity of green toma-
toes and sprinkle well with salt. Put
into a bag and hang up to drip all
night. The salt left on the tomatoes
need not be washed off. In the morn
ing take equal weights of sugar and
tomatoes and cook until the tomatoes
are thoroughly done. To seven pounds
of the mixture of tomatoes and sugar
add three pounds of seedless raisins,
with mace and cinnamon to suit the
taste. Cook a short time after adding
the seasoning and put into Jars. This
will keep without being sealed and
will make delicious pies, which many
consider as good as those from ordi-
nary mincemeat
Another use for green tomatoes is
in pickle making in combination with
cabbage, onions and green peppers,
which are usually plentiful at the
same time in the fall The recipe fol-
lowing has been found satisfactory.

Utility and Style
in Sports Clothes
Tweeds, TwilIs, Corduroys,
Homespuns, New Weaves
Are Used.

Some of the most charming things
now offered by the couturieres and
shops are designed for sports, for
weekend entertaining and general
country wear. Frocks and wraps,
notes fashion authority in the New
York Times, are made with both util-
.ty and style considered, and the chic
ness of sports clothes has Influenced
sharply the styles in all street cos
tunes. For all dress of this charac-
Ter are shown great variety of ma
,erials: tWeeds and tWills, homespuns,
corduroys and number of new
weaves. 1t is distinctly homespun
season. The Rodier fabrics are hav-
ing great vogue, and are most at
tractive in plaids, broken stripes and
mixtures for suits and coats. Sales
women talk intelligently and engag-
ingly of the 'pile fabrics the "Beu-
cleugh weaves," the Bobby tweeds'
of swansdown (not the fluffy white
stuff that trimmed mothers party

warm, woolly goods for suits and
wraps). And of "Flamingo," mate
rial not necessarily red, nor species
of bird; of 'gerona," "veloura," lus-
trosa and oriona-the latter for more
elaborate use.
Daring patterns are employed for
both frocks and wraps, stripes of two
tones of contrasting colors; large
plaids and self-plaids, and the fur
collar is seen on almost every coat and
suit of whatever style. Some are most
lavishly trimmed with fur, large col
lar, big cuffs and bottom band. All
of the heavier furs are seen, the foxes,
squirrels, nutria opossum, ringtail, be-
ing among the most fashionable. Fox

CARE FOR WOODWORK
PROLONGS ITS LOOKS
Unfinished Surfaces Readily Alb
Sorb Grease and Dirt.

Unfinished wood surfaces absorb
grease and dirt more readily, are
more likely to stain and are harder to
keep clean than those in which the
pores of the wood are filed with var
nish, oil, paint, or other finish. In gen.
eral house should contain as few IN
finished wood surfaces as possible. In
the kitchen, for example, labor may be
saved by finishing or covering the floor,
by covering the table with oilcloth,
linoleuln or zinc, and by painting or
vanishing the rest of the. furniture,
says the United States Department of
Agriculture.
Unfinished wood surfaces may be
scrubbed with the grain Of the wood,
using small quantities of water and a
mild soap, rinsed with a cloth wrung
out of clear water, and wiped dry.
Strong soaps, alkalis and too much wa
ter darken wood and may soften it.

AS a general rule neutral tints are
as desirable in rugs as in walls and

background of the room. But if you
have rugs or carpets striking in color

produced by keeping the hangings,

CoIors You Can Wear;

Flower Holders.

If you like real decoration in your
house you cannot have too many flow-
err holders of various sorts. OF course
they are not to be kept on display I'M
less they are filed with flowers. But
frequently one likes to have at least
two or three lunches of flowers
around And certain kinds of flowers
demand certain kinds of holders.
Therefore, it is well to gradually ac-
quire numerous receptacles for the
decoration we all like so much. Vases,
bowls and baskets should be included
in the collection.

Snap-on Trimmings May
Be Applied to Same Hat

Five different kinds of snap-on
trimmings may be applied to the same
hat. Either a small cloche shape or
a large mushroom is good, though the
trimmings may be applied to any
shape whatever.
One trimming consists of three
wheel ornaments made of ribbon and
attached to a band of ribbon which
eliminates in a semitailored bow.
Snaps are fastened to this trimming
on the under side to correspond with
snaps that have been sewn to the hat,
SO that all milady has to do is look
ever her array of ribbon trimmings
and choose the one that matches her
costume and snap it onto her hat.
When new costume is worn she
merely unsnaps this trimming, chooses
another and applies it in the same
way.

Should Consider Your
Windows and Hanging.

No one would quarrel with tn
statement that windows are for the
purpose of admitting light and air into
room. But that windows enter far
more extensively into the planning Of
! a house than the foregoing statement
would seem to imply is also easily to
be understood We must consider
them as decorative units from the
outside of the house and from the in
side of the various rooms. These two
viewpoints must be closely related,
while at the same time recognizing
that they are different problems.
Then, too, windows must be consid-
cred from the purely decorative stand
point-the utilitarian side entirely for
gotten.
Windows, therefore, for much of the
time that we spend in our homes are
as much a part of the purely decora-
tive of it's finish as is the cornice,
dado, ETC. In addition to these vari-
Gus phases of window treatment we
have to consider window draperies
and shades.
From all Of these aspects we dis
cover that in planning and in finishing
much consideration must be given to
position, actual and relative size,
character, furnishing accessories.
Windows should not exceed the
bounds of utilitarianism, beyond this
they automatically become inartistic.
Any light, to be agreeable to the hui
man eye, must not be exaggerated.
just as there should be no uncovered
electric light bulb in the house so
should there be no window admitting
intolerable light.
