FOURTH DISTRICT CONTEST. For some time interest will be di- rected towards the comtest which has been started by Congressman Donoven of the Fourth -Conmecticut _district Congressman-elect Edenezer J. Hill of Norwalk. It is & step which has been threatened for a long time, but in view of the conduct of the present congressman at Washing- ton it can be of no surprise to the members of the lower house of con- gress, and in his own district it was considered the most natural thing in the world, Mr. Donovan does not bring his con- test because of the closeness of the result on election dav. The figures would not support any such conten- tion for he was decisively beaten by the former congressman and there was sround for such a result upon the basis of thelr records at Washineton. He takes his claim upon the ground of a violation of the corrupt practices act and against some good advice from those in his own district. There 1s no question but what 1f the election was to be held over awain today that he would be defeated by s great if not greater plurality than last November. Mr. Hill was the cholce of the people upon the same tidal wave that swept the whole state. and that Mr. Donovan went under was by no means surprising. There can be no question but what Mr. Hill rep- resents the desire of the largest num- ber of people in that end of Connecti- cut and that he will welcome what- ever investigation s sought to show it. It will clear up any further clai and attacks, s —_—— THE PHILIPPINE REVOLT. It is unfortunate for the Philippine policy of the present admininl,;’;ion and the m now before con- gresa that there should be an uprising in the islands at this time. With the of that among the Moros it is the first since the subduing of Agvinaldo. It was quickly supprees- ed, being dlscovered in time to have it amount to nothing more than a fiz- zle, but it was not due to a.lack of sympathy among those expected to make it. It suffered from too great Dublieity, or too great alertness upon the part of the authorities for it was kniwn well in advance what the plans were and how extensive it might be expected to be. Such permitted of Dproper preparations to meet it and throush that fact alone value preven- tive work was made possible. The display of a revolutionary ten- dency cannot.be interpreted as being a demonstration for greater self gov- ernment since it revealed a wrong at- titude towards just such a proposition before congress. When it is revealed that a large uprising was expected in Manila and that there are many sec- tions of the island possessions pre- pared to revolt, it is readily under- stood that such people are in no con- dition to take care of themselves. To impose upon them more government rights before they are in a condition to handle them is only an invitation to establish such conditions as al- ready exist in Mexico, at Hayti and San Domingo. These examplés alone are sufficient warning against the dangers confronting such a. policy and it cannot be mistaken what this sup- Dpressed revolution means, In the way :: ;{wblo under greater self govern- ont. EDITORIAL NOTES. It isn't a bit too early to get pre- pared to write it 1915. ‘When the days begin to lengthen, then the cold begins to strengthen. Now that Christmas is over the most desirable thing is a moratorium. 1t is to De hoped that 1915 has some- thing better in store than the one that is fleeti: l This is the time when every head of tie household becomes a mechani- cian for a small section of toyland, ‘While the thin ice victims are tem- porarily safeguarded, the number of coasting accidents will begin to pick up. Bouck White suggests that the un- employed seize the factories but he forgot to urge them to support the tariff. There alweys a cheerful way of looking at this sub-zero weather and that is that there are those who are getting it worse, The Nebraskan who understands Secretary Bryan is soon to retire from the cabinet probably looks upon two years as a short time. The man on the corner says: Now is the time to pity the people who have to stay in Florida and miss all this inspiring winter weather, ‘There is nothing which emphasizes the arrival of Arctic weather to the small boy like being required to run ination race. 17 it §s the inclination of the sen- President Wilson veto the n bill because of the liter- ‘boiling water; boil two hours. Corks may watertight by in oil for five minutes, —_— Pickles may be kept from Y idy by laying @ little bag of mus * L el | fard on the top of the pickle jar. To clean brass flower pots or trays pour boiling water over them and fin- polish with a soft, dry cloth. When ironing it is a very good plan to get a clean brick, a white one, if possible, as a stand. iron will retain heat much longer than if an open fronstand be used. ‘When boiled and get unbolled eggs mixed spin them and the boiled ones | feeding will spin round quite fast, while those whick have not been cooked will hard- 1y spin round once. Permanganate of potash will cleanse dirty filters of all impurities. A so- lution should be passed through the fiiter until it comes out as pink as when it was poured in. Sal-emmonia wili clean a furred ket- tle. Fill the kettle with cold water, add a little sal-ammonia to it and boil. Al the fur will disselve. Well rinse the kettle afterwards. THE TANGO BRACELET. Of course, the tango is directly re- sponsible for the bracelet of that name, meaning the ankle strap belonging to the sandals or dancing shoes. The smartest of these shoes show vamps of black patent kid, uppers of white suede, instep straps of white suede blocked with black squares and fasten- ing at either side of the foot with rather large jet buttons, while the angle strap in black-blocked white fastens with a jet buckle of conven- tional “harness” shape, But the tango bracelet is worn even when the Instep is not strapped. It 's found above satin slippers, whose vamps are exquisitely embroidered and it is seen with many a dainty-made bronze kid slipper. Again, some girls prefer to have entirely separate ankle straps of black silk elastic ornamented with slides et with rhinestones, pearls, crystals or colored “Jewels.” PUMPKIN CHIPS, Select a large yellow pumpkin, pare, slice and scrape the inside of the pumpkin; cut into pieces one inch square and as thin as a knife blade. Put to it an equal weight of white sugar and- let it,stand over night; there will then be sufficlent sirup to cook it. Boil gently until nearly done, then 2dd one lemon for each pound of pumpkin sliced very thin. Cook until the fruit is clear, take up and boil the sirup until thick. DICTATES OF FASHION, Dance frocks are made of chiffon and are glittering with paillettes. Sana_colored corduroy is seen in ‘women’s practical winter coats. The tunic is now cut in points or scallops. These are edged with large beads. Colored beads, jet and pearl beads are used. Printed taffeta is a favorite material for tea jackets and some of the designs and color schemes are as poetic as they are effective. Skirts are growing wider about the hem and many of the latest models show groups of pleats which hang free from the knee: Smart frocks for little girls have pleated skirts, over which are worn tunic blouses with borders braided with soutache braid, Tt is suggested that the sweet pea shades are coming in, and already the soft pinks and delicate purples are seen in the shops. The perfect motoring hat is made of satin, corduroy or it may be made of white felt. All of these are soft, shap- ing themselves to the head in What- ever way the fancy of ihe wearer may dictate. If the skirt does mot flare enough. use a reed or thick wire to get the tight line. This isc dome in many of the high priced models and can be copied by you. Fawn and straw brown silk linings are used for the immensely popular covert coating suits, and for the equal- 1y well-liked marine blue ones there are linings to match. Shot silk is much used again for the purpose. Many of the newest blouses have high necks. That is to say, they are buttoned right up to the throat in the old fashioned manner. The decollete blouse is certainly going out of fashion. At the present moment the most pop- ular models are those which are me- dium high. USES FOR OILCLOTH. Oficloth used in the kitchen makes the room dainty to work in, also les- sens the actual labor. A large piece for a table cover is of course a great convenience and it will make a good bread or pastry board, washed and dried with a clean cloth. A piece back of the sink, covering the pipes and woodwork, will save much scrubbing, as it can easily be wiped off with damp piece of flannel. Pantry shelves and bureau drawers can be covered and lined with it and there are mno dusty pavers to be changed. Use mats of oilcloth under the tray cloth at the table.” A pastry bag can be made of it, In all households, especially where there are children to be amused. a harmless glue is much wanted. Tap- ioca is good for this purpose Take desired quantity cover with cold wa- ter, put it over the fire and stir, add- ing more water as it boils. It makes a good paste. This can be used to glue wood, leather or papers. TO REMOVE INKSTAINS, Sprinkle the spot with peroxide, cover thickly with powdered borax, let stand 20 minutes, then cover with HEALTH AND BEAUTY. Cranberries are used internally and externally in cases of erysipelas. A thin neck can be greatly improved by physical culture, massage and a| good skin food. Rich soups are injurious to the dys- peptic. Much liguid food is rarely ‘beneficial for adults. Hands which perspire should have little powdered borax in the wash water,"and after beng, led dusted with the fol- Powdered lowing powd oW etarch, powdered borax, ‘one 1 too freely When the teeth have been badly neglected and allowed to decay bevond, a certain point it is better to have them all extracted than to keer them in one m‘m!h. to the dwmm ;o":i‘ one's comfort, appearance lealtin. Bad teeth poison the whole l\ht‘n\ll. filling it with decayed matter," en- gendering disease and a foul breath. RENOVATING FURS, Furs when taken out in the fall are often found to have a mussed crushed appearance. They can be made to look like new by following these simple directions. Wet the fur with a hairbrush, brushing up the wrong way of the-fur. Leave it i dry in the air for abou: half an hour and then give it a good beating on the right side with rattan. Aafter b:glns comb it with a coarse comb, comibing up the right way of the fur. Cracks In floors may be neatly and permanently filed by thoroughh soaking newpapers In paste mad: of one-nalf pound of fiour, ihree quarts of water and one-Ralf pound of alum mixed and boiled. The mix- ture will be forced into the cracks with @ case knife. It will harden like paples-mache. A soap to clean clothes without rubbing: Two pounds sal-soda, twc pounds common bar soap and ten quarts water. . Cut soap in small pieces and boil for two hours. ~Scak clothes before washing and to every pailful of water use one pound of soap. They will need no rubbing. —_— INSTEAD OF OLIVES, Pickled cherries are a very good substitute for olives, a fine relish .or lunches and make an attractive gai nish for salads. They will keep al winter if put up as follows: To ore pint of fruit that has been w.chcd clean, but not steamed use one-hali cupful of vinegar and a tablespooniu. of salt. Fill up the jar brimful with cold water and seal. BROILI"'G CHICKEN. A chicken for broiling should be wrapped in a buttered paper bag. Th.s will keep ghe meat moist and retain flavor. NEEDLEWORK NOTES. Eyelet forget-me-nots are made by working a,_circle of six small dots around a dot of the same size in the center. The dot in the cemter is worked in solid stitch. while the sur- rounding ones are made into round eyelets, The finished work is not un- like a conventionalized forget-me-not usually with some bolder motif, al- though the clusters, if connected with ribbon or festoons of tolidly embroid ered leaves would make an attractive decoration for lingerie. Have all your rags of various colors cut_them in strips and sew them to- gether. Some evening when you have nothing else to do go_through your rag bag, select rags of different colors and put them in separate bags. Then another evening cut these rags in strips, sew_them together, wind them in balls. Then, some nice sunny after- noon, when vou are sitting in the win- dow and wondering what to do you can begin to make one of the oid-fash- ioned rag rugs in pale pink, with e border of white or.black. Stockin tops make splendid black strips for thc border. Purchase the largest bo:e crochet needle you can find, and crochet as you would a round doylie in the usual manner. These make at tractive rugs for the guest room or bedroom. All_stockings no matter whether cf silk, lisle thread or cotton, should be darned with darning silk. It makes a neater darn_and is never hard on the foot. and also, it wears better. Darn- ing cogton is usually poor stuff. Wheén a hand embroidered blouse begins to show wear and little holes appear, simply buttonhole around ths tear or embroider a dot over the torn part. POLISHING COPPER BOILER. A shinging copper hot-water boiler adds much to the appearance of a kitchen, as all housewives know The boiler may be kept in a state of brilliancy by of a solu- tion of Five cents worth acid dis- solved In_a quart of warm water will last, through many cleaning days. Best results are obtained by appiy- ing the solution to a warm boller. After one application of the solution the boiler should be gone over with a cloth wrung out warm water and then polished with a dry cloth The best part of the process is that no ‘elbow » is required. In a few minutes a dull, dingy boiler be- comes bright and shining with but 1it elteffort. r articles not a lacquered surface may be cleaned with this solution, and it also serves as a brass polish. Keep in a safe place, acld is poison. LOOSE HANDLES. To fasten the handles which have become loose on cupboard doors or bureau drawers warm some powdered almu in an old iron spoon and apply it to the handles. CONCERNING WOMEN. an, daughter of the late J. P. Morgan, seldom wears jew- els, but when she took out an incur- ance policy on her personal gems re- cently she valued them at $7,000,000. 1t was the largest policy ever issued to a single woman. Miss Mertie Harden, aged 16, of Benton county, Tennessee, won a Jer- cow and a trip to Washington for & and canning the finest vege- tables in her state. In addition, she made a mnet profit of $107.40 from a of tomatoes she raised in as oxalic ‘STIFF RIBBON. Starch spoils rivtons. as it them look old.
