It 1s getting to be the fad now to advertise cities—to put them In the limelight—to attract manufacturers, business men and buyers, with a view ‘of inecreasing the population, man- ufactures and trade permanently, and too many of thess cities do not ask themselves the question the good ousewife always does when she is msked to have company: “Is the house clean, and everything looking invit- ing and creditable?” The campaign of publicity now being advocated in Newark prompts The News to ask a few pertinent questions. It says: “We are going to induce a whole lot of people to come here and look us over, ‘with the idea of making this their industrial or family home. Even if we do mot sueceed in inducing the owner to live here, if he locates his factory here the workers must live near here. Is our city as livable as it can be made? Are our streets so ‘well paved and clean and noiseless ‘that we are willing to make an exhibit ©of them to prospective settlers? Can we mot improve our local transporta- tion facilities so as to get away from the ‘Four Corners’ trolley blockade and gardine cars? Our home districts, are Rhey well kept, with comfortable, well built, neat looking homes protected from @isagreeable and demoralizing features? Is our atmosphere free from smoke and smeils as far as can be? Is our tax rate as low as it can be consistently put, covsidering the value of what we have to offer? Fellow cit- fzens, we are asking others to criti- cise us. How far can valid criticism 1ie against us? Let's forestall the crit- icism of outsiders by doing some con- structive criticism ourselves. “We are all part owners in the «city's property. The city government 38 only our trustee to do our busi- mess for us. If joined with our ad- wvertising of our home city we can mrouse ourselves to a sense of civic responsibility, realize that if things @re not as they should be, we are to blame; if we can get awake a sense of such civic pride that Newark cit- Yzens will say everything in our city must reach a standard of real worth, ‘worthy of the city; well, fellow cit- izens, then no one will question that our advertising ourselves is going to pay not only in money, but in health and happiness besides.” ‘When most of these questions can be answered in the affirmative, thecity ‘which ean so answer them is ready for such a campaign. THE GAME OF OTHER DAYS. Mr. Edward Howe Forbush, agent ©of the National Association of Audu- Bon Socities, calls attention to the fact that New England used to be one ©f the greatest game countries in the world. He says: “Bear, moose, clis, and carfbou were abundant in their Jocalities. Squirrcls were so numer- ©us that they were sometimes obliged to migrate in large numbers to find sufficient food. The- common ‘rabbit’ and the white hare abounded In the forests and swamps. Wild turkeys flocked In the woods o that the In- dians spoks of seeing a thousand a ®ay. ‘Three species of grouse were very plentiful, and as many as sixty quail were seen in a flock. Woodcack and snipe swarmed in the lowiands Wild pigeons were found in larger numbers than these of any bird in wny other country. Their flights dark- ened tho entire sky and shut out the sun for hours, and their nesting piace extended for miles through the wouds. Wild fowl nested on pond and stream in the marshes and along the shores of the sea. The bays, harbors and is- lands of the New England coast were wlive with water birds which bred uj- w on the rocks and sands, approach of winter the rivers and shore swarmed with wase fowl and shore birds from the “New England §s so situated smigrants from the Maritime orovinees, Labrador and Greenland pburel di- rectly into her territory or along her coasts, while many species frora the west of Hudson bay reached the coast here. Others from the far northwest came down to the Hudson river and | from there spread along our shores. _No section was better supplied with . Eame in its seasons.” " It would have been for the inter- | ests of man to have protested 1his ~ game, and by rational conduct to have 'comserved for all time good hunting here; but man in his thoughtlessncas an end of it, and now it is given that the wild turkeys of the south ‘be exterminated if not sooa pro- th the ark (N. J) for ‘Thanksgiving dinner did mot get there and he did not have the pleasure of cutting ft. Since 1t has been disclused that it contalned about a bushsl of apples to four and a halt pounds of beef and suet, it is pronounced by those familiar with mince pie as a great fake. To show its lack of qual-) ity, the Boston Transcript say: “In Philadelphla, full fifty-seven years ago, the excellent Mre. Sara Josepha Hale was busy propounding a passable formula—three pounds of lean beef, two pounds of clear suet and six pounds of apples—the prescription to be taken hot, of course, as a good mince pie should be. Hers was at least an approach to the old New Eng- land standard of half and half, & quantity of apples equivalent to the weight of ail the other ingredients, and no more. When apples predominate as in the Newark concoction, a flaky crust and a plausible flavor may help to hide the shame of failure, but the result is not mince pie, the pie that has nourished ploneers, inventors, sol- diers, merchant princes, scholars and statesmen. And the president knows it, and, had he been forced to try to absord the slithery ‘filling’ that would answer to any name, would have been nwardly lamenting the meaty and juicy mince ples that Massachusetts used to make.” This simply means that Newark ple- makers should attend a Boston cook- ing school before again attempting to make & presidential pie. ~ A DRUBBING FOR EX-GOV. WOOD- RUFF. The no-license element of Connec- ticut is deeply disappointed by tne action of ex-Gowernor Woodruff be- cause he has signed a wholesale liquor seller's application for a license at New Haven, and The Voter, printed at Hartford, says: “It is with mingled regret, disap- pointment, and sorrow that we chron- fele “the above facts. The Christian church has again been injured by its own household and made the object of scorn and derision by its enemies, “The same issue of the New Ha- ven Register which contained the ap- plication for a license with the ex- governor's endorsement also contained the announcement that he was to pre- side over the annual state conference of Congregational churches, When tha attention of some of the members of the church was called to this incon- sistency they remarked: ‘Wait; the conference will choose its own officer: and the session is two weeks away. ‘The day arrived for the conference and the elections of officers on nomi- nation of the committee resulted in ex-Governor Woodruff as presiding of- ficer. “We have no doubt that many of the delegates who veted for the ex-gov- ernor were ignorant of his other ac- tion, but we want to arouse every pas. tor to the necessity of uttering some vigorous and emphatic words on the evils of voting to license the liquor traffic and endorsing license applica- tions by their church members.” This 18 vigorous talk, and the gen- eral reading public will be interssted in the issue whether the conference should or not take action upon this matter. GOV. WEEKS’ OPPORTUNITY. The vacancy made in the railroad commission by the death of the Hon. O. R. Fyler gives Governor Weeks an opportunity to appoint a member to that board and in some quarters there appears to be an apprehension that he may select a candidate because of recognized party service rather than special fitness for the place. It is a place that calls for honesty, ability and conservatism; and then it is ques- tionable whether the place will be as well and efficiently filled as it has been by Mr, Fyler, for it takes time to become familiar with the law which governs the action of the board, and to know the limitations which it sub- jects them to. To decide between the interests of the corporations and the welfare of the peopls is not so sim- ple as the agitators would have the public suppose. The New Haven Reg- ister feels perfectly confident that Governor Weeks will do his duty in this case as conscientiously as he has done it in all others since he suc- ceeded to the governorship; and the governor is entitled to such confidence from us all. Whoever is appointed is not going to dominate the board; but the apprehension that the office will go to some plum-hunter The Bulletin thinks is unwarranted. Governor Weeks has his own reputation to guard as well as the vacancy to fill. EDITORIAL NOTES. Those who would destroy confidence in Dr. Cook appear to be unaware that they can injure themselves the worst. A great many persons who think that they are human do things that wpuld be just as creditable to a bear. Now that Christmas surprises are foreshadowed every house will have secrets enough and hiding places ga- lore. The ex-sultan of Turkey has had to submit to compulsory vaccination, and he is naturally sore because of such treatment. President Zelaya has had his satis- faction, and now Uncle Sam is to pre- sent his bill for $100,000, and he will have to pay it. The public officials who zo to Pan- ama and look the field over never ro- turn in disappointment. They all com- mend the work. Those who. have ready money are likely to shop for Christmas early, and those whose cash comes late will have to follow precedent. It may be true that there are many Japanese spies in this country, but it should be confirmed by some other person than a Russian. A New Jergey coroner's jury found that an inmate of an insane asylum who had twelve ribs broken, “died from, natural causes.” The people who fletcherize the feast- day meal are true disciples; but they few, of them can fully meet require- ments on such a day. The young grass widow who ‘mar- ried ex-Secretary Gage on Thanksgiv- ing day at Los Angeles knew a good opportunity when it popped up. The fact that the representatives of the trusts condemn the Sherman’anti trust law is the best reason why it should e respected by congress and the rest of the country. It Speaker Cannon organizes one of his squelching committees to inves- tigate Congressman Fowler, be will CONCERNING WOMEN. Mrs. C. C. Kennedy has been ap- pointed probation officer of the New Orleans juvenile court. ‘The Wesleyan conference of England recently passed by a large majority mo‘t.I:n to admit women as lay dele- &al There are three women among the nominees for the next Norwegian par- liament. One was chosen by the lib- erals and two by the socialists, Mrs. Howard Van Wyck, after an absence of several years, has returned to Milwaukee as special assistant sec- retary of the Assoclated Charities. Miss Alice Fischer traveled all the way from New York to Cheyenne, Wyo., to cast her vote in the recent elections. The trip cost in the neigh- borhood of $200. Mrs. Martin J. Wessels of Spokane, ‘Wash.,, is said to be one of the few artists, If not the only one, whose work Is devoted exclusively to pictures of grain. Miss Ivy E. Woodward has been ad- mitted to full membership in the Roy- al College of Physicians of London. This is the first time that the coveted M. R. C. P. has been conferred upon a woman. NEEDLEWORK NOTES. Most attractive desk sets are made of linen embroidered in harmonizing colors. The foundations for marking initials are great time savers and look quite as well as fiose filled by hand. They also launder successfully. Pretty penwipers are made of bits of white gloves, cut out in wild rose shape, and embroidered in the center in tiny stitches and yellow French knots. A clever little sewing apron is of linen with three pockets, a bee em- broidered on each one, and the very appropriate “sentence, done in outline stitch, “How doth the busy little bee improve each shining hour.” It is a very poor plan to economize on the lining of a dress. either in money or the care with which it is made. 1f a yoke is not desired on the back of a waist, it is always advisable to put one of muslin across the shoulders, on the inside; the waist wears better for the strain is lessened. The best and most convenient tape and ribbon runner has an oblong slit through which to slip the ribbon, and a tiny point below the opening holds the ribbon, preventing it from either twisting or slipping off the needle. The waist and skirt should be fitted with as much care as the other dress, and the skirt must hang perfectly. Many costumes are spoiled by the underskirt hanging in loops and scal- lops that are noticeable whenever the dress is lifted. HOUSEWIFE SUGGESTIONS. Keep all dry supplies in glass pre- serve jars—labeled. Cover the shelves with white ofl- cloth, which will make them much more easy to clean. Keep a supply of shield safety pins in the house, also in the shopping bag. These convenient little nins are always useful. Powdered alum mixed with one- third as much talcum applied to gold braid that has become tarnished will brighten it wonderfuily. An old umbrella frame painted green and fastened to a strong post will make an excellent support on which to grow a vine in the back yard. White material when put away for the winter should be washed—not starched or ironed—and wrapped in blue paper. Do not even use bluing, for it sometimes causes iron rust. Cotton cloth for pudding and dump- ling bags will be needed; also bands for binding the roast beef. In cleaning painted woodwork it is far better to use a strong kerosene water than any kind of soan. Should the covers of the kitchen range become red and not blacken as they should, try rubbing on lemon juice and then blacken in the usual way. Soak caulitlower an hour before cooking. Put into boiling water in which a tablespoonful of salt has been added. Boil from twenty to. thirty ‘minutes, according to size of the head. Sandwiches prepared in advance of the serving time can be kept as fresh as when first spread by wrapping them in a napkin wrung out of hot water and then placing in a cool place. Olivine for Everyday. Many Kinds of semi-precious stones will be worn, but the most fashionable will be the olivine. This is of a pale green color with a touch of yellow, as would be surmised from its name, It is a stone that will be practical for everyday wear, owing to its soft radiance and .undecided hue that will harmonize with a costume of almost any color. ext in favor is the aquamarine, an aliost clear stone with a faint green tinge. Seen singly it appears to be almost colorless, in masses the stones have a decided green. Jer will be popular. suitable for winter, being somewhat heavy, and in exquisite filets, coro- nets and combs for the hair is decid- ed!y effective, and for the vellow or the whitc haired woman no ornament is more attractive. identally it is unpretentious but handsome, and often much more strik- ing than garnitures costing many times its value It is really only Clever Trifies. An embroidered beanbag is an ideal gift for a child. A novelty is the “college robe,” which any girl can make. Most attractive desk sets ars made of linen embroidered in harmonizing colors. Pretty pen ipers are made of bits of white gloves, cut out in wild rose shape and embroidered in the center in tiny stitches and yellow French knots. Childrens’ Clothing.

Almost all of the standard woolen gim goods are suitable for children’s resse: “There are mixed suitings of worsted that wear well and we haye several times mentioned Danish or lar cloth as an inexpensive material that both looks well and wears well. Armure Curtains. Armure curtains are the preferred draperies for doors this season in an inexpensive material. They are of mer- cerized cotton. Some display a valance fringe at the top, others are corded. The prices vary from $3 to $7.50 per pair. A better quality is a lightweight armure finisheq with a gimp edge comes in red, olive green, forest green, light blue, nile green and rose. The price is $9. They measure fifty inches in width and three yards long. Mersil portieres, a mixture of cotton and silk, are the same size and cost $15 a pair. Colors are red, green, brown and gold. Cooking of Vegetables. In cooking vegetables such as cab- bage, onions or potatoes, after coming to a boll, if placed in the oven, may be kept boiling and will keep the steam and odor from the house. It also prevents them from boiling dry and saves heat. Soup may be made in this manner, Bordeaux Sauce. One peck of green tomatoes, two quarts of onions, one medium head of cabbage, three large red peppers. Chop all together, quite fine. Two quarts of vinegar, one pound of sugar, one- half ounce each of cloves, allspices, cinnamon, black pepper, celery and mustard seeds, small cup of salt, table- spoonful of tumeric powder. Mix all well together and cook slowly for two or three hours. This amount makes eight quarts. . Like this the best of any of my pickles recipes; need not seal. 8 d Cranberries. Two pounds dark brown sugar, one cup best cider vinegar, one tablespoon of ground cinnamon, the same of all- spice, one teaspoon of whole cloves. Now put this Into your agate pot and ‘when it has boiled up for about fifteen minutes add two and a half quarts of cranberries, let them simmer slowly one amd three-quarter hours, then pour them'into a stone crock. Place a piece of cheesecloth over the top, then put on the cover. Keep covered good and tight. You will find this very nice with cold or roast meats. A Dandy Recipe for Graham Muffins. One cup graham flour, one-half cup wheat flour, one-half cup cornstarch, one-quarter cup sugar, three teaspoons baking powder, one teaspoon salt, one egg, one cup milk, beaten together, one tabiespoon melted butter. Tomato Ketchup. Four quarts tomatoes (after sliced), two green peppers; boil till soft; strain through a sieve; 'simmer away one- half; just before it is done add one cup brown sugar (or more), two teaspoons cinnamon,, one teaspoon allspice, one teaspoon clove, one nutmeg and one cup vinegar, a little cayenne pepper and salt to taste. When cold add an- other cup of vinegar. Bottle and seal. Savory Oysters. One pint oysters, three teaspoons of butter, four teaspoons flour, one eup oyster’ liquor, one-half cup brown stock, one teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, a few drops onion juice, salt, pepper. ' Cleap oysters, parboil and drain, melt butter, add flour and stir until ‘well browned, pour on gradually while stirring constantly oyster liquor and stock, add seasonings and oysters, serve on toast, in timbale cases, patty shells or val-au-vents. To Stew Mushrooms. Sprinkle them with a little salt after peeling them. Cut them up in a sauce pan and stew until tender, add a piece of butter, a little cream, pepper and salt, teaspoon cornstarch to thicken. Everyday Logic for Everyday Girls. Girls, do be natural. It is' so much more comfortable to be perfectly natural that it is a pity to see a girl burden herself with the littl> make believe airs and graces that beleng to the more elderly dames. At a school reunion dance recently an adorable slip of a girl, blue eyed and golden haired, wore a _dainty white, short sleeved Dutch neck gown, with white stockings and little tdink~ ling black patent leather slippers. She was ‘winsomely sweet, but gave herself rather a posed look by carry- inz, for the entire evening, without once changing the position, a great, long stemmed bunch of 'American Beauty roses, fixed just so and held thera relentlessly. Cf course, the dash of color was marvelously lovely, but one did so long to see her flop them about a bit. The poor girl's arm must have ached dreadfully the next da Spanish Beans. Soak the quantity of beans wanted over night—the pink beans are the best for this dish; put on to boil for about ten minutes in the morning; pour off that water and cover with fresh, cold water; fry as much salt pork as you wish to use; cut in small pleces; {ry a good-sized onion brow: pour over it a cupful of tomatoe: cook about five minutes; mix the beans, fried pork, onions and tomatoes all together; also one-half chopped red pepper without the seeds; cook In your Dean pot until the beans are thoroughe y done. Grated Pumpkin Pie. Cut the pumpkin in suitable slices for gral remove the seeds; grate the slic tie middle skin, sweeten I hrown sugar, mix with milk and crcam and flavor with grated lemon, citron, or cocoa. Bake on a single crust, use the above is for use of pumpkin grated raw it would be more apt to prescrve the strength of the pumpkin flavor which would be of ad- e _to those who like the flavor ts" fullest measure, but to most tastes it would produce a pie which would taste more rank and he less desirable than to use the boiled pump- kin which would naturally have lost a little of its strong flavor in boiling. Custard Pi Use an esrthen or granite ple-plate about an inch and a half deep. Cover with crust rolled out half an inch larger than the plate; turn in the edge and pinch it into a fluted rim. Allow for each pie- three ¢ggs, three cups of milk, half & cup of sugar and half a teaspoonful of salt. ‘Heat the milk, beat the yolks until very light and thick, add sugar and salt and a little grated nutmeg, if you Hke it. Then 4dd the hot milk and the whites of the cggs beaten slightly. Brush the under crust with a littie “0f ‘the white of the evw. then turn in the mixture and baka slowly until firm. Test it with a knife; if done, the blade will be clean in- stead of milky, CHILD’S COAT. Paris Pattern No. 3004 — All Seams Allowed.

The following suggestions for the care of hardwood floors are well worth consideration: In cleaning there should always be three cloths—one for washing, the sec- ond for drying and the third for the final going over, for the second rapid- ly becomes damp. Afterward the condition of the wood will be much improved for the final work, if wifed with kerosene, but the least possible quantity of the ofl should be used. This is not itself a polish, but is to prepare the wood for the shine. A tloor should never be waxed with- out first dusting and removing any sror. ng a soft or stained floor is a particular plece of work that depends much for success upon the quickness with which it is done. The wax should be melted in a warm bath and a flannel cloth used to put it on, The apjlication should be rubbed inm a’little ac a time and worked rap- idly and hard to get it spread evenly over the surface before hardening or absorption begins. Polish again with a Ary flanvel. The whole floor should be gone over in sections, rubbing with the grain of the wood. A waxed finished floor should never be washed, the cleaning consisting of dusting first, and, when necessary, wiping with 4 flannel cloth wrung in turpentine. Care must be taken in the use of turpentine or other inflammable mat- er. ¥ GLOOMY ROOM NEEDS YELLOW WALL PAPER. No one wants a gloomy room, but what to do with such a room is a problem that has bothered more than one, Many a woman has foregone inside curtains to allow all the light posible to come into the room, but still it looks dreary. Ie is not so much the | light that we need as the sunshine and | when this can not be had we must | make it, or, rather, get the effect of it. A room with'a northern aspect should not, of course, be papered in jblue or some such «cold color, but rather in rich, warm tones of olive, green, brown or yellow. 1f the room gets but little lght and sunshine yellow should be our choice. Not oniy should we have yellow on the walls, but also on the ceiling for the sake of the reflection. A pretty treatment is to have a light pumpkin yellow on the walls as | far as the picture molding and a light- | er shade above this, and on the ceil- ing. Then yellow silk sash curtain pulled back, tend to make a room sun- ny. Brass can make a wonderful differ- ence to a dreary room. A large jardiniere with a plant in it placed in a dark corner will lighten up most marvelously. The importance of brass in a sun- less room cannot be too strongly em- phasized. Mirrors brighten up and so do some pictures with well polished glasses and gilded frames, but these little points are too seldom taken into considera- ion Novelty for Traveler. Among the novelties for the trav- eler is the sewing basket which folds up like a purse. It is supplied with all necessary accessories fitted into place. The matter of hair ribbons is an ftem worth considering today, when | there is a small daughter or two in the family. The attractive ribbons may bo kept in the best possible condition if, on being taken off, they are care- fully rolled over a stick kent spe- cially for the purpose. Rolling is het- ter than folding them, and if rolled tightly the wrinkles from the tying will not be so evident. There is no simpler way of remov- ing the objectionable shine from wool- en garments, such as coat, shirts and trousers, than by sponging the offend- ing spots well with hot vinegar. When the surface of the fabric seems to have assumed its normal appearance, # NVINCI FACT INTELLIGENT COMPARISON HAS INCREASED THE SALE OF Lee & Osgood’s White Pine and Tar Cough Syrup 400 PER CENT.
