Bvery city can appreciate the in- @ignation whith is being manifested in Springfield against the indiscrim- inate tearing up of the streets. Noth- ing is more provoking or apparently meedless than the continual ripping up of permanent pavement, especially &fter a city has just been to a large expense to give the long needed im- provement to its main thoroughfares. Even though there is and has been recognition of the inconsistency of a #Street being kept continually torn up through lack of cooperation between the various departments of a munici- pality and public service corporations, the necessity for overcoming such & situation is of the utmost import- ance. Try as they will it is impos- #ible to replace pavement in a man- mer which leaves it as satisfactory @s before it was broken up, ‘The great trouble is that while there @re a great many departments and eorporations interested in various ways in maintaining public service which €alls for street excavation, there is #00 little planning for such improve- ments in advance. There is need of a &ystem in street work which would insure the placing of conduits, water and sewer pipes and trolley equip- ment in a proper state of repair and with a view to caring for such future demands as the lifo of the pavement will warrant, before the new pave- ments are laid. Within two years Springfield has had two streets which were previously in bad shape put in &n excellent state of repair, only to Bave an electric light company make plans for tearing up both of them for the laying of conduits, It is an agsra- Vation which every city experiences, but with a little foresight such could #asily be prevented. MATTEAWAN THE PLACE. The appellate division of the New York supreme court gives full consid- eration to the law and the position in which that state is placed by the Thaw case, when it unanimously de- elaros that he must go back to Mat- teawan. Look at the case as one will, 4t cannot but be recognized that that is the place for him. Thaw put up the claim In the de- fense of the crime he committed that he was insane, for the purpose of Teceiving such consideration as would “be given to a mentally unbalanced man. He was therefore sent to Mat- teawan on a verdict of “not guilty be- * eause of insanity,” but no sooner was Be placed under the restraint of that institution, to which criminal insane dnstitution he secured his own com- mitment in order to save his life, than he sought under the plea of recovered sanity to gain his freedom. This having been denied him sev- eral times through inability to prove his sanity and because of the dan- ger which his freedom would cause to the rest of humanity, he made his es- oape from Matteawan, and to Mattea- wan he should have been returned long ago. New York would doubtless Be glad to be rid of such a trouble- . some prisoner, but there is more than that to be considered. There is in the Thaw case the steady fight to under- mine the law through legal technical- ftles influenced by money and this no #state can tolerate. As the court says the place for Thaw is at Matteawan until such a time as he can through the proper method prove that he is a sane man and entitled to his freedom. BULWARK OF STRENGTH. From the work which has been ac- | epmplished under the system of ju- o courts and that which has been ed in the city of Denver under | Judge Lindsey the whole country is interested in the result of the last of a series of attacks which has been | made upon both the judge and the There have been big demon- Efiuu both for and against the 4 ent of the court, but the cli- was reached when the bill which been passed by the legislature and would have terminated the ex- of the court was vetoed by the governor. It alone was an im- portant victory for the forces who . afe working for better things in that eommunity and who stand against e who are opposed to regulation of trades for children, the sup- sion of vice and the gemeral up- work among the young, but it was e doubly so inasmuch as it was N way and that it is a bulwark of strength against those who look with little appreciation upon the needs and benefits of reform. The character of the attacks is one of the best reasons why the court should be maintained. WISCONSIN'S ANTI-TIP LAW. After having tried out many laws for the purpose of proving its effec- tiveness to its own satisfaction, which has by the way been carefully watch- ed by the other states of the union, Wisconsin has now come to the front with an anti-tipping law which car- ries with it a penalty of from $5 to $25 for both the giver and the receiver of a tip. It is not the first state to take such action, but it is going to have the opportunity of showing how it can be enforced and how it is going to be possible for a state to prevent the handout between those who are thoroughly in sympathy with the idea of tipping, Its sole result would appear to be in the enforcement of the employer to abolish the system, pay their em- ployes a proper wage and stand as firmly agalnst its violation as does the law. This method is already in vogue in many hostelries, tipping be- ing absolutely prohibited under as- surance that if there is a violation of the rules it will meet with dismissal. Such can have only a beneficial re- sult. It means relfef to those who have no sympathy with tipping, but who are forced info it by the prac- tice of others and by the inducement which the tipping system holds out to the employe to insist upon that method of getting his weekly wage, and as much more as is possible. Wisconsin is likely to have some fin in its endeavor to enforce its de- sire to bring about a needed reform, but if it results in confining tipping to those who have the coin to throw away and removes the pressure from those who are unalterably opposed to it but cannot dodge it without insult, it will serve a long felt need. THE ALASKA RAILROAD. Now that the Panama canal may be considered in working condition, even though the trouble from the slides has not been entirely overcome and will not be for some time to come, atten- tion will be directed to the important governmental undertaking in the buflding of the railroad into Alaska for the development of that rich ter- ritory. It is going to be carefully watch- ed for two purposes. There will of course be interest in the results to be obtained in putting the latent re- sources of that region in closer touch with the world and in the realization of the claims which have been put forth long and persistently, but there will also be deep concern in the facts which it is able to bring out as an ex- periment in government ownership and operation of railroads. The line was approved and is being built for the good it can do Alaska and there is sufficient reason for look- ing upon the undertaking as just what is needed in that northern section. Whatever will follow as a demonstra- tion of government ownership and operation must come as a side issue. It is going to be a line which will get along without competition for some time to come. It will not be burdened by taxation or regulation and it therefore cannot be looked upon as an instance for establishing sat- isfactory data upon government own- ership. It is being built for the open- ing up of the country rather than es a railroad promotion plan, but under the prevailing conditions. and with- out the holdbacks of other lines it ought to prove a decided success, however it is viewed. EDITORIAL NOTES, ‘What has become of the old-fash- loned boy who was never satisfied un- til he had a slingshot. Huerta says he didn’t kill Madero but it doesn’t appear that he did any- thing to *punish the murderer. It is the experience of every legis- lature that the hard work is reserved until a few weeks before adjourn- ment. The man on the corner says: Retri- bution is walting for the man who does his best only when trying to do somebody else. The improvement in business which the New Haven road sees is what both it and this section of the country needs, only more of it. A fifty year old Missouri parrot has ‘been on an operating table for the re- moval of a diseased gland. Another way of cutting out its profanity. Those fakes which are being put forward about Japan are so poorly balanced ‘as to cause them to turn turtle and sink through their own top- heaviness. From the condition of the wrecked Japanese cruiser Asama, Turtle bay appears to have been properly taken care of by nature without placing any mines there. _— The claim is made that the situa- tion in the New York legislature is due to the fact ‘that there is no boss in command. Possibly that is what is the matter with Mexico, Possibly Germany thinks Belgium would be satisfled to be allowed to rise from its ashes but it looks very much as it #t would be entitled to a sizable bit of compensation. After so much has been said about safety first and the known danger of speeding it is a strong police regula- tion in Elizabeth, N, J., which requires ‘baby carriages to make better time. It is to be earnestly hoped that it will be as Secretary Lane says that in six months there will not be an idle men in the country, but all of them will not be willing to go to Alaska. It is disclosed that Budapest hospi- tals have been feeding the wounded with wax and wood pulp. Probably trying to beat out the plan of using plaster of paris in bread in this coun- try. WOMAN IN LIFE AND IN THE KITCHEN SUGGESTIONS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE. It is & good idea to keep a Wet sponge in the cabinet with fvory curios or carvings. It will prevent them cracking from dry heat. Vanilla ice cream, served in half a ripe cantaloupe, is & beautiful and de- liclous combination. Coffee ice cream also goes well with melons. When it is desired to make tea in large quantities use four ounces of tea to each gallon of water. This will make & very strong infusion. To protect woolen from attacks by moths _scatter English lavender in closet shelves, in drawers and trunks. It is one of the best preventives. When iced tea is desired for lunch- eon or dinner it _should be prepared in the morning. When ready to serve, pour it on the sugar, ice and lemon already in the glasses. A baby's bottle should never be washed with soap, but the moment it is empty it should be washed in cold water, then filled with a weak solution of boric acid. Graham gems are made with two cups of graham flour, one tablespoon- ful of lard, two tablespoonfuls of s gar, two teaspoonfuls of baking pow- der and salt. Mix stiff with milk. All the left-over vegetables, such as string beans, peas, beets, carrots, etc., will make a delicious luncheon salad. They should be chilled and laid on salad leaves with French dressing. To remove tan, an old-fashioned remedy is to mix magnesia in soft water, then apply the soap for a min- ute or two. Wash off with soft water and castile soap and rinse Wwith clear water. Borax makes an excellent wash for the hair, a teaspoonful to @ basin of water being a good proportion. A solution of it is also good as a mouth wash. The dry powder may be used as a dentrifice. CHOICE OF VEGETABLES. Selection of the vegetables for din- ner has much to do with the success of 2 meal. Those which resemble each other should be avolded, as squash, sweet potatoes and parsnips, and with these pumpkin pie should be omitted; also, more than one vegetable requir- ing the same kind of dressing, as creamed cabbage and creamed carrots, or a vinegar dressing as cabbages, beets and spinach Variety in flavors, rather than those that bear a near re- lation to each other, gives the most satisfactory results and is the most ap- petizing. FRUIT PASTE. Take one pound of dates, one pound seeded raisins, one pound figs, one pound cherries and two cupfuls nut meats. Put all through the meat chopper twice. Turn on a board and knead well with confectioners’ sugar until it can be rolled out one-half inch in thickness. Cut in pieces and dip into granulated sugar. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. Celery is good for nervousmess, be- ing considered a nerve stimulant. An oily red skin needs an astring- ent; add a few drops of toilet vine- gar to the wash water. For a red, oily nose anoint several times a day with alittle diluted al- cohol or witch hazel. For a severe headache a towel wrung out of hot water and appied to the back of the neck will often give in- stant relief. Stains on the fingers that will not vield to ordinary methods can be re- moved by dipping the fingers in per- oxide of hydrogen. A healing ointment for all skin erup- tions is made by mixing thoroughly one part of bismuth to three parts of white vaseline. Select a soap that has little alkali and no coloring in it. Such a soap will not harm the most delicate skin. Vaseline will darken and _increase the growth of the eyebrows. It should be heated a little and applied with a small camel's hair brush. CORDING SHEER FABRICS. While fashions for tub and silk frocks are quaint and unusual they are by no means fussy. There is no prinkiness, no elaboration in the way of /excess decoration and the choice of materia: is depended upon largely to make the frock distinctive. The absence of fussy trimming is always to be commended for sum- mer frocks, especially since most of them require tubbing or dry cleaning at least once during the season. The collar scheme is important, for here is a chance for originality and daintiness of material. It is also im- portant to note the necessary har- mony between hat and collar, as one will make or mar the other. ¥ Cording, smockings, and gathers are coming more and more to the fore for sheer fabrics, and with the return of the curved waistline comes the immediate reappearance of the corsetlet effect in shirrings or cord- ings to give the high-walsted but closer fitting lines to the skirts. There is no more charming style for thin dresses than a liberal use of cordings, and the corsetlet idea is always girlish and particularly well suited to a trim girlish figure. One may have two or three colored linings to one of these one-piece corded overdresses and perhaps a smart Httle silk coatee as well. The cordings are used not only at the waist and hips, but recur in groups on the skirt above flounces or -to hold in the voluminous fullness of the skirt itself. DICTATES OF FASHION. - Y Cotton dresses will be trimmed with cluny, valenclennes and filet laces. ‘When coat collars are high they are usually made so they will turn down. More material and simple lines will be the important points of the new frocks. Both wide and narrow girdles are correct, and ribbon belts have come back again. A good blouse is of black chiffon over white, with corsetlet, belt and cuffs of white satin. Tilted to one side, atop of elaborate- ly piled and curled coiffures, are the fashionable tiny hats. Lots of embroideries are going to be used now that the flounces and full skirted dresses have come in. The more simple tailored suits have coats not exceeding half length. The awning stripe is conspicuous in the new types of belts as well as gir- dles. Black and white effects lead. There is a fad for popularizing dis- tinct gems. The moonstone or its imi- tation is a present claimant for popu- lar favor in London. Rich embroideries and other high novelty fabrics too expensive to use in quantity will enter into the composi- tion of girdles. Black and white combinations in jewelry will continue strong. Combi- nations ofonyx and diamond and their counterparts in jet jewelry will again be acceptable. Both narrow and wide girdles will be a feature of the new costume designs, many of the Paris models being gir- dled or belted at, above and below the normal waist line. ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS. It is welcome news that artificial flowers are to be freely worn this spring. It looked last season as if skill in flower-making had reached its highest point; this year, color, material and modelling are more artistic than ever, and the scope of blooms chosen for reproduction is widened. Large single blooms will be very much worn, and for this purpqge roses, poinsettias in black, as well as in scarlet or white, orchids in the richest of tones, carna- tions and pansies are provided. Violet in posies have formidable rivals in the new season’s pansies, These are large and made of the richest of velvet tones, and shaded so that a few even of these exquisite flowers relieve black or navy blue in a most satisfactory way. Fruit reproductions, and even bunches of nuts in shades of brown and gold are used on some of the new straw hats. TO REPAIR WALL PAPER. In many houses there are often left odd lengths of wall paper, and these should be carefully preserved. Dam- age may be done when moving in, or later; a chair may be pushed roughly against a wall, and there is a bad tear. Get a piece of the paper, scallop the edges quite roughly, and paste it over the place. The mend will be unnotice- able. But if the house is not new and the paper faded the contrast is startling. In that case put a piece of the spare wall paper out of door in the sun for two or three days. Dampen it occa- sionally. All that is needed is expos- ure. LAUNDRY LINES. Do not wash colored clothes very hot water or leave very long. Beeswax and crushed salt mixed and rubbed over a rusty flat iron will make it as smooth as glass. Mildewed clothes should ~be put to soak for several hours in a weak solution of chioride of lime. Be careful not to wash crepe de chine in water that is too hot, as this will turn the white crepe = vel- low. Wash carefully with pure soap in tepid water and the garment should not change color. A good method for successfully laundering tatting is to baste it firmly to a Turkish towel, then wash it as though it were a part of the towel. \Vhe_n it is almost dry, press it with a hot iron still on the towel, remove the basting threads and your tatting will be in good condition. SENSIBLE HOUSEKEEPING. Of course most women say: “House- work must be done regularly; we can't take a day off when we feel like it.” Yes, housework must indeed be done regularly. But a time will come when the one who does it wom't do it at all, or will have to be replaced by somebody else, all in consequence of doing it too regularly or to an excess. Be sure of one thing. There will be cooking and cleaning a hundred years hence. . 1 do not care any more whether it is bad housekeeping or not, not to do my cleaning on a certain day. If the day is fine and I have not been away from my home that week. I go out or sit in the sunshine on the porch. It it's cold I wrap up and do even my vegetables outside, the _nicest place I can find, or I read and write or do some sewing. I think the lack of fresh air is one of the main causes of all kinds of ailments with housekeepers, for housekeeping is confining. Some may think it queer to see me wrapped up_and busy at any task, Let them! So, out of doors all of us, once a day at least every week, and two if we can manage. There will be less family disturbance, for all. It is preferably to be pleas- ant and fresh yourself ihan your home faultlessly kept, if on or the other must be sacrificed.

THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society Sofia has recently exchanged places with Belgrade as the Balkan source of international suspense. The Bulgar capital has become the fulcrum of the Balkans, about which peace and war are balanced with aweful nicety, and every prediction from southeastern Europe during the last few weeks has been based upon guesses as to what the statesmen at Sofla were planning. According to reports, the main ele- ments in the present Bulgarian atti- tude are the hatred of this people for Greeks and Serbians, which hatred has its roots in the far past, and_their anger at what they call the Greek- Roumanian-Servian __dismemberment of their country. There is, also, a fear of Russia, the result of years of struggle to thwart Muscovite intri- fgues and to escape gradual absorption. Describing_the capital of the Bulgar- ians the National Geographic Society says: “Sofia is an adequate expresion of the Bulgars. It is a solid, business- like, modern, thrifty capital, with lit- tle of the picturesque and artistic in its composition, and nothing of ro- mance or sentiment. It is a matter- of-fact Western city, paved with smooth-squared block of asphalt, and its streets are lined with stone, brick and stucco buildings, of simple architecture. As in most ican cities, these buildings were con- structed for the display of wares to the best advantage® for obtaining the greatest possible office floor space or the largest number of living apart- ments, rather than for beauty or orig- inal effect. For the complexities of luxury, the Bulgarians have no time, nor have they learned to feel a need of them. “Their capital is a comparatively new city. Travelers who visited there before 1350 described it as a miser- ably poor place, ‘a concourse of red- tiled huts and of hovels of wood and plaster, of narrow, crooked streets, and of general filth and depression.’ This was the product of Turkish mis- administration, which has nearly dis- appeared, the modern Sofia rising out of the Ottoman ruins. Sofia has 105,000 population. It is a command- ing point upon the shortest trade route between Europe and Asia. Europe's railway freight for the Near East and the goods of Asia Minor, Persia and Mesopotamia for the West pass through its valley. The city early be- came important as a trade center, and, probably, would have developed into one of the great cities of Burope, had not periodical destruction, almost con- tinual dangers of war, and centuries of misrule held it back. “The city lies in the midst of a broad plain, between the Vitosha Mountaihs and the main Balkan chain. At the end of almost every vista in the city one sees these distant hill masses, and this fringing of moun- tains {s the only thing that keeps modern Sofia from seeming_ entirely commonplace. Belgrade lies 206 miles northwest of Sofia, while Constanti- nople lies 300 miles southeast. The valley at Sofia is an upland plateau, 1,700 feet above sea level, and near the heart of the peninsula, which de- termines the climate as a sharply con- tinental one. In August, the mercury goes up to 100 degrees Fahrenheit, and, in winter, it falls to four and five degrees below zero. The changes in the weather are often very sudden, though the climate is a healthy one. “The rebuilding of Sofia began around 1580. It now has many credit- able public buildings, electric lighting, an_electric street rallway, and good sewerage and water systems. It pos- sesses the largest theatre in south- eastern Europe. The Bulgarian Na- tional Theatre, with a competent corps of actors and singers, and a season- al offering of the best in opera and drama, is a revelation of the_strides that have been made in the Balkans since the Turks were driven back a brief generation ago. The theatre is a handsome modern structure, plan- ned with greater luxury of detail than IN ALL OUR NEIGHBORHOOD There Is Hardiy A Woman W% Does Not Rely Upon Lydi.. E.

Uric acid in meat excites the kid- neys, they become overworked; get sluggish, ache, and feel like lumps cf lead. The urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irritated, and you may be obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. When the kid- neys clog you must help them fush off the body's urinous waste or youwll be & real sick person shortly. At first you feel a dull misery in the kidney region, you suffer from bachache, sick headache, dizziness, stomach gets sour, tongue coated and you feel rheumatic twinges avhen the weather is bad. Fat less meat, drink lots of water; also get from any pharmacist four ounces of Jad Salts; take a table- spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kid- neys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations o clean clogged kidneys and stimulaie them to normal activity, also to neu- tralize the acids in urine, so it ro longer is a source of irritation, thus ending_bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot 13- jure; makes a_delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which everyone should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active. Druggists here say they sell lots of Jad Salts to folks who believe in overcoming kidney trouble while it is only trouble. most buildings in Sofia, and 1t cost $400,000. Furthermore, Sofia has a public bath house which is one of the finest buildings of its kind in the world. It was built over a hot min- eral spring, famed since thg days of the Romans. This building, in Byzan- tine style, including in its interior ap- pointments all of the best modern luxuries, cost the Bulgarians $600,000. “Their capital city is one of the pe- culiar prides of the hard-working, long-enduring, persistent Bulgarians. It typifies to them the promise of a great Bulgarian future, and they also look upon it as an earnest of their right to a respected place among the civilized nations of the West. A good deal of sacrifice has been made that the city might shine with proper lus- tre in the eyes of visitors. Sofia has been in possession of the Bulgars, since its capture by these people under Krum in 809 A, D OTHER VIEW POINTS | The sneers of those German cap- tains of commerce destroyers, for England’s boasted control of the sea, is characteristic.
