THE CITY ELECTION. A realization of the Importance .of the city election, and the necesstty of having a governing body which will serve the welfare and interests of the citizens should bring a response the polls today which will result n the election of the republican ti et. The best government which it an have is none too good for this city and the republican nominees can be depended upon to take th nd accompli proper important matter. f efficiency and economy in city af- fairs is apparent and the time for de- manding it has arrived.

PLAYGROUNDS. School will end for the long va- cation hefore the close of this month. It will be but a few weeks hefore the school room duties will glve way to the attractions of the summer season some work and more or le ay and recreation, and to the plaveround will be shifted mue responsibility ok taking the le time of the ehildren. Norwich will enter upon its third vear in this line of effort under hihn ikiec - prospetiiEs aNd a ‘Tauch wider interest than previously. Both in enthusiasm and funds is the asso- ofation which directs this work bet- ter equipped. Tn the previous efforts though hampereq by the lack of prop- er support. the association has dem onstrated through the playerounds, which they have been able to maintain that they are well conceived and admirably serve the purpose for which they have been instituted. With more enthusiasm and attention the playground movement is extending throughout the country This is one of the best indications of the approval with which it is meefing and a ree- ognition of the valuable service which it renders. The playground is an institution which bears an important relation to the life of the children when it is conducted under the proper supervision. It me a recreation ground which provides the facilities for healthful and necessary play with the elimination of the mischief and harmful influences which might be experienced elsewhere. ns Though the voters are forced again to retwrn to the big ballot and lead pencll to vote there should be never- theless a large turnout of voters at the polls todsy to make manifest their demand for better government. Whet this country is doing for the Japanese is shown by the defeat of a California ball team by a Toklo team, but how the Sunset state ever allowed the game to be played is hard to understand. Because a New York woman is su- ing her husband for $78,000 alimony besides &ivorce any conclusion that NORWICH BULLETIN, MONDAY, PARCEL POST SYSTEM. When the parcel pest was instituted ang put into operatien it was realized that it was by no means a perfect system, and that changes weuld prob- ably have to be made from time to time as experience showed the need of them. It has not required five months to bring forth a number of cemplaints and desires for extensions and better- ments by those who make extensive use of the service. Some of these come through the results which ex- perience teaches in contradiction to theory while others are but the de- mands in order to receive the benefit of the parcel post. The requirement that specfal stamps be used for_ the parcel post -and the rough handling of the parcels with objection to the zone system were matters on which the - investigating committee heard some of the big users last week. That there should be a proper hand- ling of packages is important but it is likewise important that the shipper should realize the responsibility of properly protecting the articles ship- ped. Carelessness in crating articles by freight, baling cotton and doing up packages is a condition from which s country suffers in comparison with othe: Abglishment of the spe- cial stamp may come in time even as the registry stamp and the special delivery have been modified, -while there is reason to believe that the ex- tension of the service to include books will be granted. The parcel post has made a remarkable beginning and it is providing a much needed service, the value of which is fully realized and the early investigations show that whatever criticisms can be made are bound to be overcome in time. THE SIX CENT VERDICT. From the testimony which had been the $10,000 suit brought by given in Col. Roosevelt against the Michigan publisher, it was evident that some- thing of a startling nature would have to be produced by the defense to per-' suade the fair minded men that the plaintiff was a man accustomed to an over-indulgence in the use of intox- icating wines or liquors. The verdict therefore was not surprising though its appearance so early had not been expected. It ich as vindicates the president which is what was sought rather than the pecuniary gain which might result from the sult. It has cleared away once and for all the hearsay gossip which was trav- eling about concerning the habits of Col. Roosevelt. Such gossip is the kind which muitiplies by the telling and which gets more positive as it gets further away The course taken by the s given far more publicity usation than would have was plaintift to the resulted to it, as urse in much of po- n accusation, but 1t wholesome effect in be- s greater respect to facts he ac had no attention been pald usual ¢ campa is the litical less ard to gossip and espe- cially d gossip. It is a strong while it lasts and per- haps the ninience of the plaintiff may serve to give it a more lasting effect. RECOGNIZING TALENT. Without having created any great amount of national interest through his ability as a golf player, W. Hein- rich Schmidt, the Worcester young man who has worried England and enthused this country by his display of knowledge of the game, in an at- tempt to get the English champion- ship, has bounded into greater prom- inence than as if he had given the same performance in this country. As the New York Post The e of young Schmidt is another il- lustration of how an aspiring Amer- n can impress himself on his coun- trymen by way of Burope. In the fleld of music it is too often the case that this country will not recognize an Amerfcan artist until he has Deen brevetted by the Ki Covent Garden. 1In’ literature, mples are not wanting.

It will be more appreciated hereafter. EDITORIAL NOTES.

Use very little bluing in washing laces for the lace absorbs a great deal of blue. Never try to clean vokes, collars or cuffs while sewed on the gown. Such things should always be made detach- able. A wad of thick paper laid under the edge of each step under the carpet will prevent it from wearing and dou- ble the lease of its life. ] To use sour milk for griddle cakes never add baking powder, but instead an even teaspoonful of baking soda to each cup of milk. When next making mayonnaise or a boiled dressing add a little chilll sauce. It quite changes the flavoring, giving a special piquancy to the salad. Fish which contains few bones may be converted inte fillets by dividing the flesh from the backbone in long, wide strips, and then removing any ‘s‘r‘limller bones. Soles supply the best ots. Wash old and good lace by dipping it up and down in warm soapsuds anl rubbing it very gently in the hands, and then after it has been rinsed in warm water it may be drled within the folds of a soft towel. To clean the rolled edge of a cloth coat collar sponge with ammonia. and warm water. If this is not effectual try benzine, applying with a sponge or small brush. A collar which is beyond cleansing may be covered with silkc or velvet. To cleanse a marabout feather boa at home wash in tepid, soapy water. Use a pure white soap devoid of alkall s0 that the collar will not be injured. Do not rub soap on the boa, but handle gently, moving around in the soapy water. Rinse in clear water of the iike temperature and hang out in the air to dry. WAY TO PLANT FINE SEED. Have the earth spaded carefully, and break the clods into fine pleces. Soot is excellent to mix with flower- bed earth. Sand is also good, because it keeps dirt from becoming too com- pact. Having raked the bed smooth, take an old sleve and sift fine, rich dirt over the whole bed. Put your flower seeds into a pepper box and shake them evenly over the surface, and do not attempt to cover the seed with dirt. Instead, take a block or trowel and press the seed firmly into the soll. It 1s best to have the ground slightly damp. This makes a smooth flower bed. The plants will come up evenly, and fewer will have to be weeded out. EASTERN EMBROIDERIES. Turkish embroideries which, as s well known, are largely in chain stitch bid fair to be the fashion. Bulgarian embroideries, notably in the floral de- signs affected by the peasant class, are prominent among novelty trimmings, both for dr s and millinery. Bright colored tassels, such as are frequently noted on the costumes of the native oriental, are used in most unusual and unexpected ways in the new costumes and sults for summer. TO PATCH WALLPAPER. Tear a piece slightly larger than the portion to be covered, to match, but torn with rough edges, and without any definite shape. Then paste over, and the patch will not be noticeable. The skin of a boiled egg, moistened and applied to a boll, will cause sup- puration and relieve soreness in a few hours. It is also an excellent applica- tion for a stv or inflamed eyelids. To whiten the hands soak them for twenty minutes In warm soap suds, dry, rub with lemon juice and, when this is absorbed, with cold cream; sleep in loose kid gloves. A great change will soon be noticeable. A simple “first aid” remedy for nose bleed is found in a cloth wrung out of cold water and placed on the nape of the neck. A large door key may ans- wer the same purpose. So may a piece of brown paper dipped in vinegar. The woman who is obliged to go to a place of business daily, rain or shinc should keep a neat pair of comfort ble shoes In her office closet. It is most injurious to keep damp shoes on all day. and, moreover, it rests the fect to change the shoes, providing there be an opportunity. When one would retain a youthful appearance and an unwrinkled skin all lines in the face should be gone over with cold cream before retiring for the night. When the skin seems loose and relaxed put a tonic or astringent in the wash water. A few drops of aro- matic vinegar or a little tincture of benzoin is recommended for the pur- pose. The propertles of the plneapple are extremely healthful, ite contents of pepsin_ being of 8o high an average that of all the fruits it takes the high- est rank among those possessing the qualities that ald digestion. If pine- apples were not so artificlally high priced it is a certainty that the citi- zens of the United States would dis- cover in them a highly beneficial food medicine as well as a delightful fruit. A quarter of a pineapple taken at breakfast would afford more tonic than two zrape fruit. A glass of the juice of fresh pineapple taken during a heavy meal would furnish pepsin enough to make the after-dinner pepsin tablet unnecessary. Pineapple juice is a drink practically unknown to Americans, but the people of South America, where the pineapples often sell for less than one cent each drink t quantities of the fresh pineapple o CARING FOR FU-RNITURE. To take bruises ouf of furniture fojd a_piece of brown wrapping paper five or six times, soak it in warm water, then it on the bruised spot and apply a_hot iron until the paper is dry. If the bruise has not disappeared. and in the Kitchen repeat untll it does, With a few av- plications the dent will be raised level with the surface. To remove white spots from a pol- ished surface rub with camphor. To remove white marks caused by hot plates rub with kerosene, using a soft cloth and polish with another cloth slightly dampened with methylated spirits. To remove cloudy spots wet a woolen cloth with cold tea and rub over the surface, To renovate leather furniture wash with a little soap and water, and whea dry apply a small quantity of vaseline with the hand. Let .it remain over night and in the morning polish wita a soft cloth. The treatment will pre- vent the leather from cracking. Marks caused by scratching matches on either rough or polished surfaces may be removed by first rubbing with a cut lemon and then with a rag @ip- ped in clean water. Fruit may be canned without cook- ing or acids as follows: Fill the jars with fruit, then with pure cold water, and all to stand until all the confined air has escaped, then seal in the usual manner. Fruit thus put up will keep indefinitely without loss of flavor. A GOOD SCHEME. Several young ‘mothers who do not keep maids and have several small children are following a novel plan of entertainment for the children and re- Hef for themselves. One day each week the mothers in turn take all the children to entertain for the afternoon which leaves the other mothers for that afternoon free for social duties, matinee, shopping or any other pleas- ure or duty. DICTATES OF FASHION. To give a smart touch to your white costume this season you should add a dash of red. | Pale pink chiffon combined with black chiffon and Venise lace forms an admirable contrast in a French gown. Some attractive pocket books are made of coarse linen and bound with silver. They are made in all colors and are in keeping with the suits with which they are carried. Plastron jabots are finished at the neck line with a fold of black satin and a tailored bow of the same mater- ial adorns the front. This provides a pretty finish for the collarless froeck, and, in addition, makes the neck ap- pear whiter. Turn down collars, shallow in back and cut with points over the shoulders are very pretty in white charmeuse, outlined with a narrow plaiting of net or self-material. Cuffs are made to match. The set will clean easily in gasoline. There are many extreme novelties in shoes. The uppers of high boots are of Japanese embroidery, while the vamps are of black patent leather. Other models have for their \lpgera brown or blue corded silk. Low shoes are held firm by fancy strappings passing over the instep. A chic hat to wear with one's street costume can be made of the suit ma- terlal or velvet which matches it, in tam o'shanter effect, rather close fit- ting, and finished with a band of fur about the face. This style needs no frame and can be easily made at home at a ridiculously low figure. Two inch wide fur bandings can be bought by the vard for the purpose and three-quarters of a vard is all that is required. The little lingerie caps for the morning “chez sol,” or for wearing in bed when one is ill and the visit of some intimate friend is expected, are an excuse for delightful inventions. These lacy frills lend an eighteenth century look which is quite charming. They may be decorated with wreaths of rococo flowers or with ribbons to match the bed hangings and the little “liseuse” jacket which is worn at the same time. TO CLEAN VASES. Glass flower vases are apt to become much stained in time, especially if such flowers ag mignonette and forget -me-nots are left in them for a few days without changing the water. T> remove the stains few methods are better than that of placing a handful of used tea leaves at the bottom ..f the vase with a little vinegar and, with | the hand placed acro: the top, shak- ing it until the mar have disap- peared. If not com ¢ eliminated this should be repeated, while in ad- dition a wou round a stick and pushed into the crevices will effectu- ally remove the most obstinate stains SUMMER EVENING GOWNS. The evening dresses for informal wear follow classic drapery lines, in the development of which silk is often combined with rich laces. Sash drap- eries of tulle or crepe, many rich bro- cades and embroideries in the trim- mings, are seen on these dresses de- signed for wearing at dinner and in- formal evening functions. TO MEND LACE GCURTAINS. Take strips of net the right size, or good parts of old curtains, and dip them in hot starch. Apply these places to the worm plames while the starch is hot, and they will adhere an dwill not show as much as darns would. NEDDLEWORK NOTES. Wax the thread well before string- ing beads or sewing them on material This makes the work easier and gives a stronger fastening. When pressing tucks in crepe de chine use a piece of tissue paper be- tween the iron and the right side The tucks can be seen and at the same time protected. Instead of binding or felling seams on summer lingrie use lace insertion. one pilece on each ‘side of the raw edges. Stitch on both edges with the sewing machine, In order to thread a needle easily with worsted take a scrap of cotton wool and twist it around the end of the worsted; this will allow the yarn 150,000 feet, 3 Prices $15., $18. and LUMBER and CHAPPE COAL Telephone 24 CLAP BOARDS Or SIDING to 9 feet lengths Durable Red Cedar of attractive color, WITHOUT PAINT $22. per thousand feet An old barn, or other farm buildings, can be made warm and tight at small expense by use of these Clap Boards. PIPLES WOULD ~ TTCH AND BURN On Hands and Arms. Then Came in Blisters, Broke and Sometimes Bled. Nothing Cured Until Used Cuticura Soap and Ointment, A A Rushford, N. Y.—“My trouble began about twenty years ago, by breaking out In little red pimples and running together just on my hands and arms. It would itch and burn and was very disagresable. About one year ago it took a differens form, coming on my face and hands in blisters. The blisters were on my upper lip and chin and were filied with water, would break and then sometimes would bleed. They were rather unsightly. They raised in blisters on my fingers also. They ltched and smarted and burned until I nearly went wild. I used ~—————— Salve which seemed to cure for & time, and then {t would return. I tried soveral remedies but nothing seemed to cure until T used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. I used them according to direc- tions. I havenot had any sign of the trouble since using Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I can surely give them a great recommenda- tion.” (Signed) Mrs. O. M. Persons, Dec. 28, 1911, ‘The regular use of Cuticura Soap for toilet sand bath not only tends to preserve, purify and beautify the skin, scalp, hair and hands, but assists in preventing inflammation, frri- tation and clogging of the pores, the common cause of pimples, blackheads, redness and | roughness, yellow, oily, mothy and other un- | ‘wholesome conditions of tho skin.
