SMITH Councilmen HENRY NORMAN ALEXANDER WILLIAMS T Tax Collector NO f"“ The ' Connecticut ture acted ‘wisely in making no change in the automobile law of this state. The courts have decided what rea- scrable speed is, where the law has not defined it. When the law says an autolackile shail not pass a trolley car where passengers are embark- ing or disembarking at a speed of nicre than three miles an hour, four miles an hour would be unreasonabie speed; and when they exceed in pleas- ure ri¢ing 25 miles an hour, which is the court's definition of limited speed, they are guilty of unreasonable speed. - It is easy to conceive that there may be circumstances under which the highest speed attainable is not un- reusonable; but there is mo necessity for a perpetual license of such speed. It is safe to assume that the chauf- feurs do not want the speed law made faster; neither do those who enjoy riding at reasonable speed. It must be the joy riders who were asking for a license to ride over “the reasonable- ness” of the courts, REMOVING THE ELMS. elms of New England seem to be doomed. The elm bark borer, the leopard moth and the elm-leaf bestie are killing them in this entire regfon. Harvard college is preparing the way for their eventual removal Five great elms in Harvard college vard are in such a condition that they art booked to be removed before com- mencement; and it is expected that several others will have to be re- ved during the summer. The col lege authorities, anticipating that ail the elms will have to be removed in have ordered one hundreé ané fitty red oaks, one of whith will- be set out whenever it is, necessary to t away an old tree. Thus in time :nder the oaks” may become a sen- timental phrase at Harvard, as “under the elms” has so long Dbeen, there and elsewhere. The American elm is a most stately nd graceful tree and it seems a pity t insect pests have made it neces- o substitute for it a tree of less beauty because of its freedom from insect enemies and disease.

Miss Esther E. Lape, & former in- structor in Swarthmore college, has been appointed instructor of rhetorid and composition n_Wellesley college. Miss Lape is one of the collaborato in the authorized transiation of “Klaus Hinrich Baas,” by Gustav Freusten. Mrs. John A. C. Manton has just been elected on the schiool board in Flint, Mich. Her husband was elected mayor on the same ticket. ‘Mrs. S. M. Cantrovita was elected on the same date for a long term on the school board of Milwaukee on the non-parti- san ticket. Though a Jewess, Mre. Cantrovitz w actively supported by the Catholic and Protestant women voters. Mrs. F. H. Sumpter, DMrs. J. A. Kring and Mrs. Henry A. Foster have been appointed a committee to see that the town of Collese Mount, Mo., is kept clean. Their appointment was made as the result of a mass meet- ing which nominated cardidates for the town boar: At this meeting it was unanimously agreed that all citi zens regardless of sex should vote. This is the first time that equal suffrage has been granted in Missourl. Queen Alexandra is fond of soft, subdued colors and pale shades of rose, green and blue have largely been used in the decoration of Marlborough House, which' is now being prepared for her occupation. She much dislikes changes in her rooms, and it is said she is so particular about everything being always put in esactly the same place that plans of her rooms have been made showing exactly where each object is meant to be, so that when anything is_moved it can be replaced in its original position. Kerosene Useful. Vot all housekeepers realize the va- rious uses to which kerosene may be put. It is one of the most valuable cleansing agents that can be kept in the house. A spoonful of it put inte a clothes aweeter than wthout it, nor will there be any odor from the use of such a small quantity. In connection with clothes it may be said that a raw lemon, siiced. peel and all, will have the same effet in a boiler. This preparaticn is efficacious in re- moving heavy grease from children’s clothes, especially that gathered from automobiles and oiled streets. The greasy portion of cloth is laid in a small_basin and the spot is covered with kerosene. It stands for an hour or more, when the cloth is rubbed between the hands or with dry cloth. If the heavy grease comes out, then it should be rinsed in kerosene again and given a final washing Wwith hot water in which is ammonia. If the grease dows not come out after the first hour's soaking that kerosene should be poured off and fresh applied for another hour. Leather shoes that have become Stiff from wetting will have their flexi- bility renewed by wiping them with a cloth, well wet with kerosene. The; should stand with that moisture over them for an hour or more, and then be wiped with a dry cloth before blacking or polishin Kerosene, either diluted or of full strength, cleans white paint beauti- fully, removing the most obstinate stains. 1t need not be washed off aft- erward, but merely dried, for the odor will soon evaporate If the windows are left open. Rubbed full strength on a porcelain ‘ub, it will make the bath look like new. It should be thorough- 1y washed off at once, lest it scent the next bath. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. The juice of the pineapple contains a chemical principle which has the power of softening and loosening the membrane found in the throat in diph- theria. When the patient is sufficient- ly strong the juice pressed fram the ripe pine shoild be taken into the 1m0uth in tablespoor doses, and after having been used as a gargle and mouth rinse, should be ejected. This may be repeated as many times as desired. Almond milk is made by blanching and poundlfig twenty good-sized Jor- dan almonds in a mortar with half a teaspoonful of granulated sugar and a quarter of a pint of water. The nuts are reduced to powder and after standing all night the liquid is strain- ed. Either clear, or in_combinatior with the alum it is excellent for th skin. Tt should be gently rubbed ir with the tips of the fingers several times a day and at night. Drinking a cup of hot water is o more efficacious treatment for many ills than some persons realize. There are physicians who preseribe it for inactive livers, a glassful to be taken a8 soon as one wakes in the morning. The warmth as well as the liquid is beneficial, for it is a well known fact that few persons drink as much water through the day as they should. That the dose affects the complexion favor- ably there is no doubt. Some persons add the juice of half a lemon to the water. There no doubt that for certain systems this is beneficial, bu it 18 a matter that a physician should decide in individual instances. For Sleeplessness. A sufferer from insomnie states that she was cured of sleeplessness by the simplest means, that of eating a raw onion sandwich just before going bed.

All is ap- parently grist wiich comes to her mill, provided it is of decorative descrip- tion. One of the revivals now is the vogue for piping. Nearly every coat or gown has its edges and seams subjectod to this process, and it is one of the fan- cies of the monient that navy serge shall be .piped with linen, or, as an alternative, with a striped black and white silk.” As a matter of fact it rep- resents a means of bringing a very attractive mote of color into the schenie, while in some cases the dressmaker or the tailor is far from content with a single piping, and no fewer than three are introduced into the toilettes, only one of which is in the.same coler as the gown. Even muslin frocks will be piped with linen as soon as the time comes round for the wearing of such flimy fabrics, and very pretty some of these frocks will be, piped with striped linen and sup- plemented with the daintiest cross- over pelerines, which are folded over the bust and terminate behind in a couple of little tabs. Collars of Many Shapes. One sces all sorts of variations of the sailor collar and the fichu, as well as of the Ma Antoinette ruff, while vokes not only are round, square, or V-shaped, but, as likely as not, are fancifully jagged and cut to follow out the cut of the bodice itself, almost losing their own identity. This is par- ticularly true, where, according to a present popular idea, the yoke is dyed to match the gown or, with the white cloths, are of a bright color. Sleeves are matched to the yoke in this latter case, and the effect rather attract- ive, although extremely odd. So many beads have been intro- duced into trimmings and even into the very texture of the fabrics them- selves that already there are predic- tions that the best dressmakers will soon cease to use them. As a novelty beading has long since passed the zenith of its vogue, and this means & change for something less common before many months, if not weeks. But the French knoi work and the beading which it imitates is too ef- fective to be set aside yvet, and the work that the girls are lavishing on their wardrobes will be in order throughout the coming season. Nut Bread. To four cupfuls of flour add a tea- spoonful of salt, four level teaspoon- fuls of baking pewder, half a cupful of sugar and a cupful of chopped nut meats. Beat up two eggs and add sluwly two cupsful milk; beat well and then add slowly to the dry ingredi- ents. Bake in a moderate oven for three-quarters of an hour. This is de- licious with coffee or for sandwiches. A Dress Hint to the Business Girl. The girl worker in office or shop will soon discover that plain, well-made clothes are a necessity, and that cheap finery can never, under any cir- cumstances, be made to ‘take their place. With the evervday coat and skirt suit, a warm coat for chilly or rainy days will be found useful. Another necessary wrap is a waterproof coat, not one of the shapeless, sloppy things | sometimes in vogue, but a neat gray, tan or navy mackintosh that buttons close up to the chin, military fashion. With it could be worn a small hat swathed with a bright-colored or Oriental silk scarf. Tawdry flowers or feathers, chiffons laces, nets and the like should have no place in the workaday wardrobe. These are for holidays, though tawdry flowers and feathers are never per- missible. Fancy trimmed blouses with lace yokes should never be worm, as one or two washings make them look cheap and worn. Navy blue serge or any cloth in a dark color is ithe best selection for the suit. Footwear is one of the most import~ ant studies in the business girl's eur- riculum. She should remember that cheap boots are the most expensive in the Jong run, and that quality of leather should be considered before the latest fad. Boots are better tham low shoes, as they are a protection to the ankle and keep it shapely for dressy occasions. In the winter there is the smart blouse of dark flannel for everyday wear, and in the summer there is the waist of light tub materials to be worn with a dark blue serge suit. These, with well-fitting boots, often gives the working zwl a smarter ap- DR.
