Moving is a task which is certainly ifficient to 'daunt the bravest of Juewives. 1( is really no wonder ijat many women endure inadequate Kitting and badly heated rooms rath- Jthan undertake to move to mora ds rablo quarters. JOne side of the moving problem has ircady been discussed in those col .ijnnB. Then suggestions concerning te packing of pictures, bricabrae and ijnaller articles were given. Now, turn lg to the bigger part of the house ,old furnishing, there are but two jays of packing thesetho right and o wrong way. Let us consider first the packing j carpets or rugs. The ordinary caro :m folding which most people give, loir rugs leaves them at the other Id of the journey with at least a few iff wrinkles, which will take months eradicate. Folded rugs have the old so pressed into them by the prca- Srs of furniture in the van that they e lumpy looking a lone time after 'to new household has rosumed its nor mal course. !Boll the Bugs. The best way to prepare' rugs for ove it to buy round poles, just as !ng as me rug is wide and about five if hes in diameter. On this the rug sy be rolled. If there are two nigs !le same siao, both may be rolled on o Bame pole. Or if there be two dif ferent sized rugs and the pole is as mg as the larger rug, both may be (tot on the same pole, too. In rolliig Je nip, do it tightly and then tie each in three or four spits with cord so that the carpet i in no danger of slip fng. f Small sized nigs may be put on the une pole with the big ones if they are "wtened securely. J No matter how curtains are packed there always seems to be a need of jroninif at the other end of the journoy, seance there seems to be no way to Prepare them for moving to fold thorn. However, the fewer the folds and the Wpr tliev are unpacked the better AS GOOD AS FISHER'S BLEND is the regular argument of all who strive to push the sale of flours made wholly of Western wheat. As good as FISHER'S BLEND, they N say, but COSTS LESS. And right there is where the force of the argu ment fails, for no amount of argument and salesmanship can produce a flour made wholly of Western wheat as good as FISHER'S BLEND. . The price of FISHER'S BLEND is a little more per sack than the price of other flours for the very plain and sim ple reason that FISHER'S BLEND isn't one of the other flours nor any thing at all like them. If it was it would cost what other flours cost and you would get no . more for your money. The price of FISHER'S BLEND-a few cents more per sack than flours made wholly of Western wheat is regulated by the cost of the superior and carefully chosen materials that go into its composition. In no other flour on the market is the scientific BLEND of EASTERN HARD WHEAT and WESTERN SOFT WHEAT to be found. FISHER FLOURING MILLS CO, "AMERICA'S FINEST FLOURING MILLS SEATTLE, U. S. At will be their appearance. If they are only folded once or twice and are un packed as soon as possible, the creases will probably shake out without iron ing. Portieres may be treated the same way as rugs. They may be rolled on the pole on which they hang, if de sired, tacking lightly to, the pole the ends at which the roll is started. This save slipping. Portieres Bhould be thor oughly brushed before moving. SOLDIER OP 1'OETUNE WILL ENTERTAIN MOOSE General King Stanley, who has fought under 11 flags and has 45 scars of wounds noceived in battle, and who is widely known as a soldier of fortune, glove trotter and magician, will give an entortainment tonight at the Moose lodge meeting. Stanley has been heard from in noarly every conflict the world over and is well posted on the situation in Mexico and South American coun tries. He praised Huerta, head of the Mexicans, today, and declared his be lief that Huerta never know Madero was murdered. He expressed the belief that if Mexico ever settles her troubles it will be by the division of the country into two independent republics. Stanley will give what is known as the '.'Forbidden Lecture," which per tains to the inside workings of the present Mexican trouble. Now the new republic of China has several rebellions on its hands, the end I of which nobedy can intelligently pre ' diet. Yet people are happily so consti tuted that they can enjoy a vacation and improve themselves at the same time. WALL STREET FAILS 10 FIND EASY IRKS Education la Proving Undoing of Sharks and Killing Off Good Old Graft of Years Gone By. SIGNIFICANT DISCHARGE OP EMPLOYES IS NOTICED. Public Is Mot Playing Oam sod Wolves Are Obliged to Play Game Among Themselves. By Carlton Ten Eyck. DHITXD TUBS UUID Will Wall street once had some little lambs .Their fleece with gold wag spun, To shingle off that golden fleece For Wall street was such fun. But now the brokers havo no lambs No lambs with fleece of gold; No longer are they lambs at all, But sheep both wise and old. They know the bull, they know the bear, And so they gamble not. With educated sheep about The market's gone to pot. New York, July 29. Wall street is sick sick unto death. The stock ex change is suffering from a pronounced attack of incurable anaemia, and the contributing cause, according to the diagnosis of old timers, is education. The public is wise to Wall street. There's the rub. The stock exchange is still at Broad and Wall, and trading opens at 9 a. m. and stops at 3 p. m. Railroad, steamships and manufactur ing shares and bonds change hands daily as in former times, but the pub lic does not care. Prices fluctuate and the ticker whirs out its song of profit and loss as of yore, but the public is not interested. Desperate bear bait ing and equally desperate bull fighting occurs on the street as in former times but the public takes no interest in the game. The public has learned that the doings of Wall street should not con cern the public. The lamb has learned at last that the path of speculation leads to the shambles sooner or later. The money made on Wall street is made by the holders of stocks and bonds, not by the gamblers. It dawn ed on the lamb some time ago that every dollar made by anybody on the street is lost by some other body, and that the public was always that some other body. - - Education is responsible for the pres ent stagnation of Wall street, i Con gressional investigations of the money trust, the adverse railroad legislation and a lot of other things are blamed by some for the decline of the street, but the fact is that the public, through the newspapers and magazines, saw what made Wall street's wheels go around, learned what made Wall street tick, and the public promptly lost in terest. There is nothing so deadly to a pastime or amusement such as Wall street furnished as a thorough under standing of it. "And you wouldn't know the old place now," might be sung with unc tion by the brokers today. The "crooked little street with a cemetery at one end and the river at the other" hardly knows itself In theee troublous times. An old-time broker who has made and lost several fortunes in the street was heard to hum thusly: "1 feci like one who treads alone some banquet hall deserted, whose lights are fled and garlands dead and all but him departed." Some of the wise ones profess to believe that Wall street will never "come back" while others just ns well versed in its ways, predict confidently that the present lethargy, the wido berth that the pub lic is just now giving the cxrhnngo and bucket shops is just a temporary thing, soon to pass away. These point flop, i'n'iy to 19(17-03 ns an example of tem porary depression. Hut thero is no an alogy. In those years thero wns panic. Todny there Is nothing of the kind. Wall street is doing a hcnlthy, legiti mate business. Shares aro changing hands normally. What is missing is speculation. The public is not playing the game, not because of hard times, hut because the public, knowing it is bound to lose at tho game, does not want to. Five nindred Wall street clerks have been discharged, and all tho survivors have stood for huge cuts In snlary. Telegraph operators who used to enjoy "tips" on "good things" and make "a nice piooe of chango" no longer re ceive these favors. Messenger boys who used to get t bills gratuitously, now jump at dimes. Tho brokers gather around the ticker with a sem blance of their old vigor, hut thoy are watching tho basormll scores. Floor men spend their time figuring tho cost of summer vacnitons. A singing evangelist tho other day tried to start a street meetings near the curb market and was told curtly to "go snd save 'em up In Central Park." A newly discovered tenor who says he outsings Caruso, went down to the street the other day to sing in an effort to attract a rich banker, a thing not uncommon in tho old days, and was promptly arrested. Whatever the answer, things are not A PROBLEM IN FINANCE. Trio Question That Lincoln Fired at Seorstary Chasa, Tbe mysteries of finance were not always clear to Mr. Lincoln, whose statesmanship was of another sort But bis keen sense of humor would not permit him to regard the difficult sub ject ss too profound for an occasional joke. On day Secretary Chase ot the treasury department found on desk In bis office what at first appeared to be a picture of an "Infernal machine." It looked like a goose, but on further examination It proved to be drawing of an ingenious Intention for turning gold eagles Into greenbacks, with tbe secretary himself working It and slow ly feeding It with "yellow boys" at on end, while the government currency came out st the other end, whirling about like tbe leaves of autumn. While be was examining It the pres ident came in, as he dally did, for con sultatloa Mr. Chase handed blm the drawing, and his eyes twinkled as be recognized the likeness of the secre tary. "Capital joke, isn't it, Mr. Chaser he exclaimed. "A joke!" repeated tbe irate secre tary. "I'd give a thousand dollars to know who left it berel" "Oh, no." said Mr. Lincoln temper ately, "you would hardly do that" "Yes, I would!" stoutly asserted the secretary. "Would you, though?" Inquired the president with that deliberate manner which characterized him when be was really In earnest "Well, which end would you pay from?" Youth's Com panion. FREEZING BOILING WATER. It Sounds Queer, but to 8olnco It Is an Easy Matter, . Water may be boiled and frozen both at tbe same time. The idea Is a little startling, but the explanation is simple enough. Tbe temperature at wbicb water boils depends purely on the air pressure of Its surface If the air pressure Is high tbe water must be made a good deal hotter to boll than Is necessary at low pressure. On mountains, wbere the air pres sure Is lower than at sea level, water bolls easily at low temperature. In cooking vegetables of all kinds a cer tain degree of beat Is required, and where water bolls before that vegeta bles won't cook. Consequently they have to be put in s closed boiler so that tbe generated steam will create pressure for the water to boil beyond tbe required temperature. For an experimental proof of this fact tbe water Is placed In a vessel and the air exhausted above tbe sur face of tbe water. As the process of pumping goes on tbe water will boll violently, tbe steam congealing on tbe sides of the exhaust vessel. If tbe pumping Is continued long enough and tbe outside Is cooled below tbe freez ing point of the water the water will continue boiling and bubbling until It Is a mass of Ice. . This fact Is made use of In estimat ing the height of mountains. At sea level water bolls at 212 degrees F. This principle does not apply to water alone, but to all liquids.

One of tbe sights I showed him was the crowds. Tbe thousands and hundreds of thousands of people strag gling for a foothold at bridges and sub way stations struck him momentarily dumb. When his voice came back tbe Brit question he asked was, 'Where on earth do you get enough stuff to feed all those people? "I answered that by taking blm on a trip through the produce district I steered him for miles through bead hlgb ramparts of meat poultry, vege tables and fruit At the end of the trip bis first astonishment had been absorbed In a deeper wonder. " 'Where on earth,' said be, 'do you find tbe people to eat all that stuff?' " Now York Sun.

SATS AMOUNT ASSESSES BY ' TBIAL JUDGE EXCESSIVB. Willing to Pay Reasonable Amount But Thinks He Bhould Have Chance to Live Himself. loams run Laisso wns. . Denver, July 29.-" I'm not a bit discouraged. I'm not afraid to try again. ' ' . Thus optimistically spake Theodore Roberts, who spent six months behind the bars of New York's alimony club, the Ludlow, street jail for not paying his divorced wife $2600 per year ali mony.. Marriage, said Boberts today is the natural state for man and wo man, and just because one venture fails is no reason why you Bhould not make a second or third or fourth, etc.. until you succeed. Eoberts declared he believes absolutely in alimony, but, he added, he would much prefer to languish in Ludlow street jail rather than pay an unjust amount of alimony. 'In Ludlow street jail," said Rob erts, who is ploying here in summer stock, "there is quite an alimony club, It s members aro tien who have re fused to pay alimony at all. These j men are very bitter. To them the word, 'woman' is as bitter as gall. I was not extremely popular with theso gentlemen because I believed in paying alimony and believe the man who doesn't pay it when ordered by the, court, ought to go to jail. I also be lieve that any judge who mulcts a man by ordering him to pay a larger ali mony than he can afford is doing a gTave injustice. "When a man marries a woman he usually does so when both are young. He takes the best years of her life. Then at an age when her 'markeable value' Ib at a low figure and when, perhaps her spirit has dulled, he casts her back on the world. No matter what the circumstances that man owes the wife of his youth a living. It all depends on his earnings how much of a living he owes her. But if a judge carelessly assesses a man an unjust amount an amount that he cannot pay and live himself it is wrong to put him in jail. "How niuch betfer to order a small' er payment and let him have his free dom to earn sufficient to pay- that smaller sum. In spite of his matrimonial difficul ties, Roberts insisted that he is ss "domestic as a broom." 'I love a home and all that word stands for, " he declared emphatically. "Home, to me, is a place whore a man gocB to have dressed the wounds ho has received during his daily battle; where he gets comfort and help and ambition. It certainly should not be tho place where he gets old hurts scratched open and whore sympathy is a long way above par. Woman should play man 's game and help him. Even if she has to fib to do it, she should fib. At best a man isn 't at homo very much and when ho is, his armor is off.

Tommy Burns, manager of Arthur Pelkey, de clared here today that he had heard nothing from Tom McCarey of Los An geles in regard to a bout at Vernon with Charley Miller, and that unless McCarey dug up $500 which he figures the promoter owes him, there would be nothing doing on such a match. According to Burns, McCarey wired him to come to Los Angeles from Aus tralia for a fight with Bam Langford, saying that he would pay transporta tion expenses on Burns' arrival. This was before the Johnson-Joffrics affair at Reno, and McCarey, Burns Bays, planned to match him with Langford for a Labor Day fight. When Burns reached 'Reno, he declares, McCarey told him the Langford fight was off and that Burns would have made the trip anyway, so therefore he could not part with the $500. . "I took MeCarey's word, and paid out the money and now he will have to pay it back if he wants to do business with me," declared Burns today. "I have heard nothing in regard to the Miller match and if it is made Parente will have to make that side bet of $2500 he has been talking so much about, and no stage money at that I have posted a similar amount with Ed die Graney in San Francises. If Par ente digs up and McCarey reaches a satisfactory agreement with me, Pelkey will take Miller on."

TABLING OF RESOLUTION MAKES KAJITJ VERY ANGRT umtxo rssss LB1SBO wias. . Washington, July 29. Chairman Clayton, of the house judiciary commit tee, today presented' a report recom mending the tabling of the thjrd reso lution introduced by Representative Kahn, of California, which alleged that Attorney-Genera1 McReynolds had post poned tho Diggs-CaminettI white slave cases before Secretary of Labor Wilson requested the postponement. Attorney-General McReynolds "beat Kahn to it," by sending the judiciary committee a telograrn, dated May 16, asking John L, McNab, former United States district attorney at San Fran cisco, to take no further affirmative action in the case until further no tice. The Republicans are severe In their criticisms of the attorney-general. Caustic comment over the tabling of his resolution was voiced by Represen tative Kahn, "It evidently was necessary," Beid Kahn, "to whitewash the action of the attorney-general, Why the president saw fit to censure and scold John Mo Nab, former United States district at torney at San Francisco, and at the same time adopt a policy of proceeding promptly with the Diggs-CaminettI and Western Fuel cases, passes all com prehension, "If McNabb did right in insisting on an early trial of the , cases and the president and Attornoy-General Mc Reynolds now adopt his views by Insist ing that ,the cases be tried promptly, why should McNab be censurod, If an Insidious political pull Is being used to cause the attorney-general to order a postponement of the cane why shouldn 't censure fall on the shoulders of Mo Reynolds f Instead of being blamed and condemned, McNab should have been commended."'
