Look it over. Rubber Stamps AT THE GLACIER OFFICE SOLDIERS' FUND CLEVERLY RAISED Mrs. C. C. Paddock, of tbe West Side, has just received letter from a friend. Miss Ruby Buaelle, a designing milliner of Indianapolis, who tells of raising f 107. used for tha purchase of tobacco and candies for French sol diers, by chance sold on a doll, which she dressed and displayed in a show window. The chances were sold for 10 cents each. "With the money," Miss Busells writes, "I purchased three gross cans of tobacco, 114 pounds of bar chocolate, milk chocolate and other sweets, which were mailed to the French Minister of War for distribution. The postage amounted to $31.68." In each package Miss Buselle in cluded the following short verse : The soldier, French, who have lived in trench And mud and shack and mire. Slept on the ground, recovered wound From bomb and shell and fire. Suffered loss of friend to the end, When they have no other. Shall think of me, who is proud to be. Their little Toy God Mother. From .the Little Cupie Doll. A BOLT OF JUPITER. It Was Sudden and Sure, and It Saved; the Situation. Jupiter no! Best begin with time and place namely, the noon hour and an untidy, senilgrassy courtyard, the latter bounded upon three sides by de crepit tenement houses and upon tbt fourth by a noisy garage. Jupiter stay I Ladles first I Tbe berolue bss tbe right of way. Her uame was Katie Flanagan, and she was as pretty as a heroine ought to be merry, blue eyes, light, fluffy hair; pink cheeks and saucy tilted nose. Ju but first, .Katie was standing upon tbe rickety second story gallery I at tbe back of tbe tenement opposite the garage and was pulling In dry gar meuts that bad been umleeorstlng the scene all tbe morning.. Jupiter Oh! Katie bad a lover Mlebael Rafferty of tbe garage. Mi chael was tall, good looking a true son of Erin. He stood at tbe rear doorway of the garage and, spying Katie, stepped back a bit within tbe doorway and made a motion wblcb she understood. He then disappeared, but next was seen at the window above tbe doorway. Jupiter but a word shoot tbe vil lains of the story! One wss a mis chievous boy, teasing a cat In a corner of tbe courtyard; one a sour fsced girl sitting at a lower window and jealous of Katie, one a middle aged woman, tbe meddling gossip of tbe tenements, and one tbe manager of tbe garage. The manager stood in tbe spot vacated by Michael. Jupl-ob, yes, tbe plot! MIcbael at tached It to the clothesline at bis side of the courtyard. Tbe plot was a tott ed paper which said: Dearest Katie Meet me at our corner tomorrow morning" at 7 with your bundle. Father Flynn will marry ua at t, eo we can make the 8:45 train O. K. YOUR OWN MIKE. Jupiter but wait tbe tragedy! It happened when Katie bad drawn the paper halfway across. She Jerked too eagerly. Down fluttered tbe plot wa verlngly, slowly, but surely, to tbe ground. A scream from Katie, a word of strength from Michael, a scramble from the villains, all of whom bad witnessed the launching of tbe plot Jupiter yes, now It Is time to Intro duce the real hero. Mighty Jupiter himself interfered. With that pro verbial calmness which is the ancient deity's attribute he reached for tbe pa per wblcb fluttered to his very feet and, regardless of anything so modern as the rules of Fletcher, swallowed it whole! He bad saved the day. Jupiter a h. yes! No need to hold back that sentence any longer. Jupltet wns a goat!

BUYING 0113 COS Registered and Coupon Securi ties of the United States. HOW THE TWO ISSUES DIFFER A RegliUred end Leet ee Stele Is Still Absolutely Safe Per Its Lea Ki mate Owner, While Lssina a Coupes) end Is Like Lesins Money. When an Investor buys a United States bond be buys what is called either a registered or a coupon secu rity. Tbe "bloated" capitalist le usual, ly pictured as occupying much of bis time In "cutting coupons," a task tbe very notion of which intrigues the Im agination of the poor chap wbo writes about the dolugs of multimillionaires. And yet-and though It be to destroy so well sccepted a tradition tbe fact is that tbe "predatory plute' rarely clips a coupon. He prefers registered bonds for the commonplace re a eon that they are safer. Tbe government issues, let us say, a bond bearing coupons. It Is forwarded to John Smith, tbe purchaser, who signs a receipt for it But suppose tbat Smith mislays or loses the bond or sup pose that It Is stolen from him, It Is just as negotiable as a $500 note and be is tbst much money "out." But if the bond la registered tbe case Is quite different Suppose tbat It ts lost or stolen. Tbe thief or tbe Under cannot sell It or collect the Interest pn It when Interest Is doe. Tbst bond Is recorded in a book In tbe treasury de partment as tbe property of John Smith. To him alone csu principal or Interest be paid unless be transfers tbe bond to somebody else, In which case tbe trsusfer Is recorded In the book. Hence, obviously, It Is much safer for any one who subscribes to a govern ment loan to ask for registered bonds. He will then have a separste account kept for him at the treasury, iu wblcb every payment made to him will be set down. If his bonds sre mislaid or lost be need only notify tbe treasury In order to be sure tbst nobody else shall collect the money to which be is en titled. Tbe missing securities will be replaced when he has fulfilled certain formalities. Interest checks for bonds are mailed quarterly. On being returned through the banks canoeled they are not de stroyed, but are carefully preserved In tbe treasury. So excellent is tbe sys tem sdopted tbat reference can be made to any sucb check lu case of dispute as to payment, no matter how snclent Its date, at a minute's notice. Tbe signa ture of the payee on tbe back settles tbe question. AH bonds issued since i860 are likewise kept in storage. Heirs to estates in litigation sometimes wish to refer to them. Tbe patriotic person who decides to help Uncle Bam by lending him money may have the additional satisfaction of knowing that there is no security In the world so absolutely -safe as our government bonds. Nothing short of tbe disruption of this great republic could cause them to lose even a fraction of their negotiable value. If you bave such a bond you eau convert it Into cash offhand at any bank. One can hardly conceive of a more comfortable form of wealth than Unit ed States registered bonds. You bave your name down in the treasury books with, let us ssy, the magic figures $100,000 attached to it Every quarter (If tbe interest Is 3 per cent) you re ceive a check for S760. It Is enough to live on, modestly. Hard times may bother otber folks, but they do not dis turb you. Tbe H. C. of I., becomes to a great extent an academic proposition. Very rich people own the bulk of tbe registered bonds, wblcb run up as blgh ss 150,000 each. ' A piece of printed paper two feet long will represent tbat sum. It Is a fortune which may be folded up and put away In your card case. Xou cannot possibly lose it If anybody steals it Uncle Ssm will re place It The paper used for bonds is of spe cial and distinctive kind, with two bands of red and blue fiber running through every sheet It is almost al) linen, but contains some cotton, so as not to be too bard. Tbe linen rags used for "stock" are carefully selected, cleaned, bolted and pulped even the water for the pulp being filtered to la sure Its purity. Uncle Sam owes a lot of money to holders of bonds long ago called la people, tbat Is to ssy, who through negligence or for otber reasons have uever asked for' what was due them. Every now and then some of these old bonds turn up; likewise back number Interest checks, which folks bave a way of hoarding. People are constant ly changing their addresses, and of ten it bsppens tbst trsck is lost for awhile of kn individual bondholder. Under sucb circumstances the interest checks are retained by tbe treasury, and in the course of time they pile op. They are kept for en Indefinite period and, like tbe unpaid bonds, are good forever.

Wn., construction engineer for the Pacific Power & Light Co., is here superin tending the replacement of tbe section of pipeline washed out south of Power dale by recent Hood river freshets. The water of last week made it neces sary for Mr. Shinn to lay off bis men for several days. The head works of the big power flume were badly dam aged, and it will be necessary also to replace the new fish ladder over the dam. . A SLICE OF BREAD. The PhsMlt ef Westifa On' One a Day In (very Heme. A single sHcs) ol bread sisms as an Important thing. In many hoossnolda one or more slices of bread dally are thrown away and not aaed for human food. Bametimea stals Quarter or balf loaves are thrown ont let one good alsed alios of bread, aux'b as a child likes to cut weighs aa ounce. It contains almost three-fourths of aa ounce of flour. If every one of tbe country's 30,600,. 000 homes wastes oa the average anly oeUce ef bread a day tha country la throwing away dally over 14,000,000 ounces of flour ever 875,000 pounds, or enough flour for over a million one pound loaves a day. For a full year at thla rate there would ba a waste of over 819,00p,O0O pounds of flour 1,500,. 000 barrels of flour enough to aaake 840,000,000 loaves. As it takes four and one-half bushels of wbest to make a barrel of ordinary flour, this waste would represent the flour from ever 7,900,000 bushels of wheat Fourteen and nine-tenths bushels of wheat oa the average are raised per acre. It would take the fruit of some 470,000 acree Just to provide a single slice of breed to be wasted daily la every borne. To produce this much flour calls for an army of farmers, railway men and flour mill people. To get tbe flour to tbe consumer calls for many freight cars and the use of many tons of coal. But, some one says, a full allca of bread Is not wasted In every home. Very well. Make It a dally slice for every four or even ten or every thirty homes, make a -weekly or monthly alios la every borne or make the wasted slice thinner. Tbe waste of flour involved is still appalling, altogether too great to be tolerated when wheat Is scarce. Any waste of bread Is Inexcusable when there are ao many ways of using stale bread to cook delicious dishes. Cleveland .Leader. LIFTING HEAVY WEIGHTS. Hew te Work Without Straining the Muscles ef She Bask. During hoitsecleanlng season it la not uncommon to bear many complaints of baekscne. Oftentimes the muse lee of the back bave actually been strained from lifting or lugging at heavy ruga, etc., and there is reason for tbe pain and discomfort manifested. Fortunate ly there is a way to lift heavy weights without straining tbe muscles of tbe back. "A well known metallurgical company," says Popular Mechanics, "has recently Issued instructions show ing the right and wrotig way to lift heavy objects, sucb as ingots and cast ings. "Tbe wsy which Is condemned and which many workmen thoughtlessly follow couslsts In grasping tbe load with both bands while stooping over snd scarcely bending tbe legs at all. Llftlug in this posture throws most of tbs weight on tbe lower pert of tbe back, where tbe muscles are -weakest, snd may produce a severe strain or rupture. "The proper way Is to grasp the load after squsttlng down close to It, so tbat the knees sre drawn well up sgslnst tbe body. Lifting In this man ner throws the weight on tbe thighs sod shoulders, which are strong and best suited to tbe severe stress that comes In raising tbe body to an erect posture." Living Musio. To move tbe body to the -rhythm of tbe universe, audsnte, presto, fast or slow, keeping tbe scoent steady and sure. To use the voice In melodious speak ing, with kind snd gentle words, to stranger .or to friend. In all -events of dally life and work to resolve tbe discords and to bleud the moments Into one harmonious whole. A nil nd to eet in form tbe theme of life, suuounoe the subject clear and true and work It to satisfying close. To find within the soul the beauty bearing message of the song divine. This Is to set the days to music and to be a symphony. Evangeline Close la Musician. -Per Cleaning Feints. An -easy way to clean paints; Paints la tbe batbroom or kitchen tbat bave been soiled from smoke or grease can be easily cleaned by heating vinegar, aud with the use of a sponge wipe tbe paints. In order to obtain best results tbe vinegar should be heated several times during the process. When com pleted tbe paints will be thoroughly clean aud look like new. A Paint Concerted.
