CIRCULATION 1901 AVerage..easeerseses 4412 1905, averag: MENACE TO NEIGHBORHOOD. ‘While the tent werpfll:‘r‘nusruh eri: preading ut the wi 1': is given the least encouragement and little effort made to check it there should be a recognition of the responsibility which every ‘property owner owes to his neighbors near and far. While one farmer may care nothing for the destruction of his orchard by this pest, which strips his trees as free from leaves as the cold and winds of fall, ending all possibil- ity of a erop of fruit and probably the }ife of the trees, he should realize that such is not likely to be the atti- tude of the adjoining cwners. Yet his attitude and the maintenance of the breeding place is a menace to the country for miles around. may work diligently to free their land of such an unwelcome pest, but it is ‘'soon recognized as ar end- less task as long as certain ones per- sist in the propagation. There are laws against the main- tenance of nuisances and conditions which menace the health and prop- erty of others and they have resulted from the ptter disregard which some people have for the rights of others. Such instances only reflect the same mort of meglect as that to be witness- ed in an orchard denuded by the cat- erpillars and which calls for the same kind of legal restriction. It does not require much time or aftention where the entire community is alive to the stamping out of such a pest to obtain compensating resuits but it is only matural that any com- munity should have a grievance against the neighbor who is so care- less of his own property condition that he permits it to become a det- riment to thoss about him. In such cases there should be adequate r straint. Justice certainly demands it. INCOME TAX TANGLE. Now that the income tax law has been in effect for a short time and it has become evident to the government that it is not meeting the expectations or requirements, the idea which has been advanced by Secretary McAdoo that suthority be granted to the col- lectors to make search of vaults and pépers is not only untimely, but not likely to get much serious consider- The income tax law is now encoun* great amount of misunderstanding ‘which -existed over the requirements has already resulted where the people suffer but have no it is not unreasonable to ex- that confusion as to requirements the government is the cause for deficit In the collections, if there taxes to which the govern- entitled under the law, but it has not received. The fact 6t be dodged if the law has fail- ‘written mamn, that insufficient understanding intricate require- ts have played their part in at- that result. It is quite evident e tangle with which it started been overcome and it is that deserves attention just now than the proposed amendments law, which as a regular thing likely to become popular. MIDAIR CARELESSNESS, There would seem to be enough danger in the navigation of the air and in avoiding the dangers which are connected therewith without causing such unnecessary loss of ‘life as that ‘which followed the collision of aero- plane and dirigible during the Aus- trian army maneuvers. There seemed to be about as little excuse for the as there was for the loss of a submarine L 4] i in the North sea at the end of a naval }; mansuver when through the taking of chances in an endeavor to cross the bow of a larger veasel it was cut down and lives lost, It is an unquestioned vaiue which the flying. machine pessesses for army operations, put they have not been peortacted to a point where careless- Meas can . prevail Wwith impunity. bas taught & < _perhaps for future it is only such a les- “have been gathered from EVERYONE SHOULD Swim. -<The twe drownings which have oc- curred here thus early this season, ‘whereby young children’ lost their lves, calls to. attention thé responsi- bility of parents in this regard at this season of the year. Unless this i3 an unusual year the number will be increased by several before the sea- son ends and they will not all be ‘chiidren. Permitting children of tender years about dangerous places is always ac- companied by a great risk, but it makes little -r no difference what the age is {f the person gets beyond his depth in water and is unable to swim he is in a predicament where he can do little to save himself. In view of the great assistance which swimming is to everyone whb goes on or into the waterjthere should be a greater movement for the teaching thereof un- der safe conditions and responsible in- structors, Drownings have always oc- curred and probably' always will de- spite the {nstructions and precautions, but knowing how to swim ‘has not only been the means of many sav- ing their own lives but of aiding in the rescue of others. Whether swim- ming lessons result in thessaving of one or a dozen lives during a season, it is a well spent effort. It would be a good thing if every- one knew how to swim. It is a mag- nificent exercise and not a difficult thing to acquire, and while everyene i8 not going to be playing along & canal, out pleasure boating or a pas- senger on an Empress of Ireland, it is best to be fortified against such dan- gers and if they know how to swim they stand a much better chance of coming back alive. AMENDING HOME RULE. Interest has by no means abated in Ireland or any part of the British Isles over the next step which is to be taken concerning the home rule bill. Preparations stil! go on in be- half of resistance in the north and to offset it gun running has been in- troduced in other sections of the coun- try, indicating, as has often been de- clared, that Ireland is due for trou- ‘ble however the measure goes, The amending bill which is to be introduced in'the house of lords this week is the piece of legislation which has long been awaited and upon the provisions depends the manner in which it will be recelved. As has been indicated, it is intended to give every county in Ireland the right to vote itself out of home rule until after two general elections have been held in England, but there is also a move- ment underway for the making of the time indefinite under which Ulster or counties S0 voting shall be excluded g;)'m the provisions of ‘the home rule This brings 4P again the fight which has previously been waged except that in view of the strength of the home rulers it must be with a new light that Ulster faces the inevitable. - To come under home 'rule automatically after six years never appealed to Ul- Ster and probably will not now, if there is a possibility of making the period of exclusion indeffnite, and the probabilities are that it will be upon this point that the great fight will be waged concerning the amending bill. Whatever the period of exclusion it is not unlikely that even if restricted to six years it would prove of vast importance in determining more clear- ly whether the strenuous opposition to uniting all Ireland is justified or not, PO B A S D EDITORIAL NOTES.

The correct. wicker table for the porch has a receptacle in center lined with zinc, which may be filled with ice to keep beverages cool or which table is fitted with a revolving tray which has a partition at the top into which sandwiches can be placed and separate of six or mere around the edge intc each of which fits a glass. Thus are table and tray combined in a practical way for sum- mer. BUTTONS IN BOTLES. A good plan is to keep buttons in glasa bottles.

A bag of hot sand relieves neu- lml‘il. ‘Warm borax . water will remove dandruff, A little soda water will relieve sick headache caused by . indigestion. A cupful of strong coffee will re- move the odor of onions from the breath. Never enter a sick room while you are in a perspiration, as the minute you become cool your pores begin to absorb. The best time té bathe is just be- fore going to bed, as any danger of taking cold is thus avoided and the complexion is improved by keeping warm for several hours after leaving the bath. When you go to bed—if you are looking for beauty sleep—you should fall asleep right away. The beauty sleeper the one who wakes up iook- ing refreshed, will fall asleep the min ute her head touches the pillow. She will fall into a slumber, heavy dreamiess and she will waken in the morning of her own accord. A doctor has discovered that whis ling is good for the health. It filis the lungs with invigorating oxygen, and this revivifies flagging spirits and flabby muscles. Boys are prone to be broader chested than giris and hetter constructed for deep muscular tones of the lung exercise which accompanies whistling and ome of the first things they try to do when they've passed babyhood is to whistle. KEEPING CUT FLOWERS. The life of cut flowers may be pro- longed thus: Dissolve a lump of bicarbonate of soda or saltpeter the size of a mar- rowfat pea in one tablespoonful of ‘bolling water; pour it into a vase, fill it up with clean, fresh, cold water. Now arrange the flowers in it. They will gilve much better satisfaction than if the soda had been omitted. Cnange the solution for a fresh one every morning. Coarse sait has nearly the same ac- tion, though not quite as effectual. Use one tablespoonful to a large vase, say holding a pint. It is wise to keep cut flowers in as cool a temperature as possible. When changing the wa- ter cut a tiny piece from the stems. -FRENCH COIFFURES. The Parisienne appears at her best when in evening attire, and this fact is partially due to the perfection of her coiffure. The French are past masters in the art of arranging the hair, and the newcoiffures are of simplicity. The hair is drawn back over the forehead in soft waves and the back trésses are coiled in a German knot or figure eight. Another favorite coiffure resembles that of the Empress Josephine at the timeé of her coronation. The hair is low over the forehead, and soft ringlets fall about the ears and brows. The back hair is arranged close to the head, and a fillet of jewels is worn well over the forehead. DICTATES OF FASHION. Bold brocaded chiffon makes some of the prettiest bodies to the summer evening gowns. A pure lemon yellow batiste frock was trimmed with heavy and hand embroidered linen. At present the safest sort of hand- bag to choose is’s leather one, flat and tkin and shallow.

There is a new bath- ing cap which “really does” protect ihe hair. The cap is of best rubber and has two long “esriets™ which fell at either side of the face, cross over and button, through an elastic eyelet on to a big safe button, in such a manner that the water cannot insin- uate itself above the water line. So, now, girls, you may swim to your heart’s content and not go _through the process of hair baking afterward. Incldentally, this cap is very becom- ng. 1795. TO REMOVE RUST.

B. DEVOLVE. R. E. Plainfield, June 20, 1914. FAMOUS TRIALS l TRIAL OF QUEEN CAROLINE. When Queen Caroline of Emgland died she gave orders that there should be engraved on her coffin plate “Caro- lne, the Injured Queen of Eng! o The story of her life is & thetic one, even If her own in tions were responsible for a good part of her misfortunes. When Caroline died on the morning of Aug. 7, 1821, she had completed fifty-three years and three months. The happlest part of her life was spent in her home in Brunswick, having been the second daughter of the duke of Bru Of the following nineteen years spent in England elghteen of them were passed in separation from and in quarreling with her husband, who had become George IV. For the first ten years of that period she had lived without offense and free from sus- picion, but during the remainder e was struggling to establish a fame which had been wrongly assailed; but this was accomplished by such eccen- tricity and indiscretion that she almost seemed to justify the suspicion under which she labored. Justice was not rendered her, for she was condemned before she was tried. Caroline had married George while he was still prince of Wales. The wedding ceremony was accomplished by proxy. Her husband was a few years her senlor and had discarded more than one mistress and gone through a ceremony of marriage with a_fascinating wi of fortune, Lady Fitz-Herbert. s of Brimstiel o had oline ns o selocted a new favorite whom he compelled his wife to accept as her chief lady in waiting. Hven at the ceremony the prince openly showed his dislike to the prin- ding he treated her with contempt and kind of separation commenced in priv- ate, though until parliament could meet ang settle his pecuniary wants some decent appearance was kept up in publie. On Jan. 7, 1796, the lotte was born and within a few in, hitherto the separatio: blicly announced. .

When at last the evidence was brought to a close it was not until & month after the report of the com- missioners, entirely acquitting her of the imputed maternity of her protege, had been forwarded to the king that a copy of it was transmitted to the princess herself, with the depositions of the witnesses. At the trial all the statements made by Lady Douglas were denled by Car- oline. When the Douglas story was thoroughly disproved the charge of im- proper familiarity with Capt. Manby was taken up. This, too, was dis. proved, and on April 22 it was record- ed by the cabinet that not only the main oharges were completely dis- proved but that “all other particulars of conduct brought in accusation against her royal highness to which the character of criminality could be ascribed were satisfactorily contra- dicted or rested on evidence undeserv- credi of msm the estrangemept of the prince and princess was beyond repair and she went abroad to live. Finally the prince became King George IV. and the princess returned to be crowned with him, but this was refused and a bill was brought into the house of lords charging Caroline with a “series of acts highly unbecoming her ma- esty’s rank and station while on the continent. The trial was begun on 1820, and lasted for but nothing more than in- discretions could be proved again Queen Caroline, and the bill of pains and penalties was abandoned. The queen survived less than a year. WATCH YOUR STEP! BY THE CONDUCTOR The President Awheel. “Bfcycles are comin’ back again.
