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

Q.
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. Philadelphia Ledger.
Letters ef Introduction.
Letters of Introduction should not be
worded In too complimentary or highly
flattering terms. As they are left un
sealed and delivered lu person it ts em
barrassing for the caller to deliver
them. Tbe letter should simply intro
duce tbe bearer, state tbat be la' a
friend and that any courtesy or enter
tainment shown him will be greatly ap
preciated. "Tbe strongest plume in wisdom's
pinion is tbe memory of psst folly."
Coleridge.

J. E. Shinn, of North Yakima. 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

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.

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."

-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.
