to be a huge barrier to any govern
mental economy program for 1882.
County commissioners have start
cd pruning other expenses, but said
today they see no way of lessening
expenses for light, water and heat
in county institutions.
These three commodities are only
ones which the county is forced to
buy without competitive bidding. 1.
Commissioners must accept bids
of the indianapolis Power and Light
Company and the indianapolis
Water Company at rates said to be
excessive, because no others are
offered.
Unless rates are changed, our
huge utility bills stand as expenses
on which no economy can be effect
ed this year." Commissioner George
Snider declared.

1881 was $19,451.34, paid for light
and heat for the courthouse and
Jail.

Cookies with nuts and raisins are rather more difficult to digest but if the fruit and nuts are finely chopped they are not objectionable and older children especially like them.

DEEP BREATHING ESSENTIAL
 Every now and then every wo- man says: T have been so busy l haven't had time to draw a long breath!"
 The truth of the matter prob ably Is that she really hasn't drawn a long breath. And 1t shows. There Is tendency toward mar row, cramped muscles in her chest. Her cheeks would be a little pink CT, her eyes would be a little brighter, her mouth would be d little gayer, if she had drawn not one, but u series of long, long Dreaths.
 Air feeds the body quite as much as water and food do. It purifies, cleanses, braces 1t.
 When theair current is retard- ed, or only reaches q half-way point the system can't stay young and lovely. 1t must be aired If 1t Is to be rejuvenated.
 Start the day by throwing open window, standing erect and talk ing a dozen long, slow breaths. Feel your whole body rising. grow ing poised, as you breathe. Count 10 as you go. up. Count slowly, too. Then count ten as you let the air out. Breathe through your nose always. Exhale through your mouth in these special exercises.
 As you do your exercises watch the manner in which you breathe. The exercise will be twice as bene- ficial if the air currents are right.
 If you are performing the sim pie exercise of stepping over until your finger tips touch the ground. knees being kept rigid as you do this, draw deep breath as you lean forward. Hold 1t few sec onds. Let it out as you take your first position.
 As you walk down the street throw your head up and take deep breaths. Pretend that an invisible cord Is drawing your head up and up. Then start to breathe until you feel the rush of air in your lungs. Clean out the secret cor ncrs where grine has gathered. Keep your lungs elastic. Breath- ing correctly is q simple thing to do. But so few people do 1t, and even fewer people know that they aren't doing 1t correctly.

 "fIello," said they. Oysters? Terrible!
 Suddenly the blond said, "Wo are having company tonight with a rumble seat
 That's nice. l suppose you'll get a ride"
 "Um, hum! But Mir Shorts fun ny. He's afraid you'll fall out. We're having oysters. l hate oys- ters."

 "Yes, he was oh-what do you call them-a nice dog. Then some people moved next door and they had baby and they were always fussing so we had to send our dog to the country. And now mind you they've got a dog and 1t makes more noise than ours did:'
 Are you going to move here? asked Little Butter-head. "I wish you'd live next door to us. That house Is empty" He pointed to 1t.

 "I don't know. You don't have to be introduced to a boy. They arc just friends of everybody"
 "There are plenty of bad ones.

EVERY DAY BEAUTY

can't afford to be careless in her a habit of being well-groomed and pcrsonable at all times, while the stay-at-home Is apt to make an effort only for special occasions.
 For example, you go out to dance, come home at all hours and go to bed without thoroughly cleansing your face. You get up late and neglect the setting up ex- ercises you should take every morning. The business girl gives attention to her skin every night because she knows she must.
 That's why pasteurized face cream Is such a boon. It Is so cleansing, nourlshing and beauti- lying, it Is q beauty treatment in itself and even though this one cream only is used at night. it keeps the skin in excellent con dition. As for setting-up exer- ciscs, the modern business girl won't miss them any more than she will miss her breakfast. They tone up the skin, eyes and hair tc say nothing of the mind and spir. It."
 And most business girls know set aside one or two hours abou two evenings every week for spe cial care of the skin, hair and 1 hands.
 I "One thing in particular I no ticed about these girls" said Sal. ly, "was, that under their smart little hats and berets their fore- heads were so smooth and lovely So many girls I know have lined foreheads and tired looking eyes. What is the answer to this?'
 Simply that the girl who works takes special care of her eyes. She uses a strengthening wash. rests her eyes as often as she can. wears glasses If she needs them, and she has learned the value of eye exer- cises.
 "There are many line formers eyestrain, n frown that draws the brows together. wearing tight or poorly fitting shoes which cause poor posture, neglecting bodily disturbances that cause headaches arc some of them.

When the event is particularly out standing Mrs Sweeney herself is present, as, for instance, at Presi- dent Hoover's convention confer ences.
 She has covered more than 50,000 conventoins through her agency. She also covers prize fights, broadcasts, funeral ser mons, speeches, business sessions anything and everything.
 An Ambitious Maiden
 But once upon 0 time she was just an eager-eyed girl who wished she could get more speed in mak- ing hieroglyphics in her note book. Somebody sent her a cir cular which said that stenotype could write faster than shorthand. She doubted it. But she went o the demonstration that was ad- vertised and ended by enrolling for a course in stenotypy.
 Tt was miles ahead of me-" she says. Tn 1914 I won the gold medal of the Natoinal Reporters Shorthand association. started to report lectures, sermons, all sorts of things because I didn't want to lose my speed. finally tried a convention.
 After that she hired some as- sistants. and then incorporated. That was IS years ago. Today she has a New York office that occu- pies one whole half block in q sky scraper and has a staff of 20 sten- otype reporters. She has smaller offices in Chicago and Cleveland.
 She performs personal services for the people who employ her to preserve their speeches and busi- ness. She will correct grammar when the ask her to.
 Counscls Applicants
 Searching for jobs Is a task that will tax anyone's resourcefulness, she admits. but she has certain rules that will help the applicant.
 First of all. if you are making personal contact, make as excel lent appearance as possible. Then strike q happy medium between being over-expansive, over-conf- dent and over-timid and subservi- ent.
 If you are an older woman, do not give the impression that you are either dictatorial or mother ly.' Keep slender too. because too much flesh gives the impression of middle age, stolidity and settled ness"
 If you are mailing an applica- ton she again has helpful sugges- tions.
 Type your letter. arranging the page artistically. Make sure that your spelling and grammar are correct. Simple words. not flow cry ones. will help you. Do not give too many names of places where you have formerly worked. Three or four arc enough"
 Mrs Sweeney has q homemade ing side to her nature. too. She has been married 15 years and has daughter 13 years old.

 They were standing in the door, way. The fire danced beyond them in the shadowy. low living room. and the snow fell across the lawn that swept away to the road.
 "come in and close the door" Sue said. She caught her breath. Something that had been hurt and frightened, deep within her, was joyful and vibrant again.
 Jack didn't say very much. Just held her closely. Sue didn't say much, either. She wondered how it had been possible for the quarrel to have taken place. There wouldn't be any more mlsunderstanding. She would hold her tember next time.

Cookies always can i'll in as a dessert with fresh or canned fruit, many a glass of milk disappears uncomplainingly when accompan- fed by a cookie, they are popular In the school lunch box, and a cup of tea seems twice as sociable If plate of cookies is on the tea table.
 Drop cookies and overnight cookies do away with the tedious process of rolling and cutting. If rolled cookies are wanted, thor ough chilling of the dough makes 1t much easier to handle.
 The texture of cookies makes them easier to digest than cake. Plain sugar cookies can be given to small children long before they should be allowed to eat cake.
