Bven as the allies found that ‘their diplomacy failed when it came to get- ting Bulgaria to side with them or even to maintain neutrality, it is being shown now that it requires more than the beckoning of Greece and Ru- mania to get them to participate in the war. The sympathy of those nations to all appearances is with the allies, in spite of the assertion tnat tne central powers have guaranteed to Bulgaria that they will remain neutral, but it is & far different thing when it comes to plunging intd the war with the at- tendant expenses and sacrifice of life that must be .anticipated. Until the allies can show them that they have large forces ready to put into that field of operation to augment the ar- mies which those countries can mus- ter, they have a sound reason for de- clining. This is true in particular of Rus mania, which would be mehaced from two sides by the armies of the Teu- tons and Bulgars. It oggupies a posi- tion which would malke It easy for the enemy to strike serious blows and even invite the loss of territory. Thus it 1s incumbent upon the allies to dem- onstrate to these two countrles that they have the forces and means to strike decisively in the sections where they are already engaged. That will do more than anything else to en- couraze the two Balkan states. Or- dinarily fighting comes as a second nature in that portion of the world, but for once they are giving consid- eration to the armies which the enemy could muster instead of being blinded by the offers of new territory in case of victory. RECOMPENSE FOR DEER DAMAGE When a man presents a bill to the state for reimbursement for damage to his crops by the deer, it indicates in the first place that he has not kept very well informed concerning the leg- islation passed by the last general as- sembly and secondly that the deer still continue to do harm despite the right which has been given land owners to shoct them. When the last general assembly changed the deer law so that prop- erty owners, members of his family or bona fide employes who have been given permission, can shoot deer upon their own land there was re- pealed that law which provided reim- bursement to the party whose crops are damaged. It was intended that the farmer should protect his crops, which he had long desired the privilege of doing, since by hunting them it was considered that the deer could be soon reduced in numbers which would eliminate the damage to produce and orchards. Though there never had been a deer census taken, the last figures an- nounced by the state authorities to the effect that 314 deer had been kill- ed in the state up to the middle of this month indicates that the number is being rapidly diminished, that many at leastof the real estate owners have been prompt to look out for their in- terests and that good use has been made of the right to abate the rui- sance. Even though there are some Wwho are still suffering from such loss- es, it is not going to be very long before the trouble will be removed, especially since the season is at hand when more hunting will be done. Thus instead of encouraging the deer and paying for their depredations Connec- ticut last May decided that the pro- tection was a mistake and it rests with the property owners now to ac- complish the task of putting the deer out of existence and such damage as he suffers from them must be balanced if balanced at all by the venison that he bags. MiSS CAVELL'S EXECUTION. There is nothing which stands out more strikingly in connection” with the execution of Miss Edith Cavell at Brussels than the manner in which the plea for mercy by the American minister was denied and the deliberate endeavor to keep him in ignorance of the time of execution. There were in- tentional misrepresentations to Am- bassador Whitlock when it was de- clared that the time for execution had not been fixed and that he would be informed when such orders were issued, just as if it was recognized that a wrong was being committed and the oply way in which it could the Cavell case, which is many instances where German conduct has been raised, can be no surprise at King Albert's declaration that “I will never lay down my sword while my country is in slavery.” KNOWLEDGE OF THINGS AT HOME, A plan has been put in operation in New Orleans which is due for much serious consideration in many other cities, if not states. In that city there has been adopted for use in the pub- lic schools what is termed “The New Orleans Book,” whi¢h has been com- piled by teachers for the purpose of starting the children right concern- ing the important facts about their own city which they ought to know. There is contained a history of the city from its founding, a review and summary of its industry and com- merce, a study of its people, their in- stitutions, government and organiza- tion treated in such a manner that even the school children can answer the questions about which so many questions are asked by the visitors and by the citizens themselves. It is an idea which could be put to good use most anywhere. In fact there is always too little known by the average citizen about the city or state in which they reside, and by far- nishing this te the school children ‘as a part of their education they are be- ing provided with Information which is bound to be of much use and valne as they grow older, and their appre- ciation of the worth of it is bound to develop as they have the opportunity to deal with bigger things following their school days. It is a, plan which is often urged that children should be taught more about that which they must come in actual contact with and even though they are not going to remain In one city or one locality all their lives they are bound to be better citizens through such a knowledge of one's own town. New Orleans is doing an excellent thing for New Orleans. DEFENSE RATHER THAN RE- PRISALS, Thus far there has been no re- sponse on the part of Great Britain to the demands which were made by individuals and assémblies following the last airship raid over London for the adoption of a like plan of attack for German cities. While the whole country was excited over the slaughter of the defenseless and such strong resentment arqused that it was fg- ured that it would result in a great stimulation to enlistments, there are these who insist that Great Britain should continue to respect the pro- visions of international law and net indulge in reprisals just because the enemy has seen fit to establish rules and policies of its own, Among this number is Lord Bryce, formerly ambassador to this country, who is strongly opposed to any such policy of retaliation and as in all such questions there is a large following who copsider it the sensible course to. adopt. Reprisal has been given no place in the British conduct of the war as a general policy though there have been instances where aerial at- tacks upon military positions have re- sulted in civilian deaths. It is of course to be admitted that when one party in the conflict follows the lead of another and throws to the wind all regard for regulations there s not telling where it will end. In- stead of forcing the guilty one to de- sist there is the alternative that it will only make such attacks worse and cause them to be made more often with the result that there will be no end to the giving and taking. The idea that the British will gain more by preparing better defense against such attacks, even as Paris has, is more in accord with the view of Lord Bryce. EDITORIAL NOTES.

P S et e 4 Just at present Carranza pays his respects to the United States for his recognition. It is to be hoped that he will not suffer from loss of mem- ory. When Mr. Mellen reveals that he was hired by the New Haven because he was a ni ce to that system, he put a big idea into the heads of many others. . A plea is being made again for a one cent letter rate. Until better con- ditions prevall in the post office de- partment, this idea had better remain on the shelf.

Almost all countries have their sup- erstitions about babis In Holland, bread, steak, garlic and salt are put into the cradle of a new baby to insure it always getting enough to eat. In Greece, the mother, before plac- ing her child in its cradle, turns it three times round before the fire, singing to it the while, to ward off evil spirits. In Sweden a book the head of the baby to make it quick at learni to read, and money is put into its it bath that it may be rich. In Wales, a knife or a pair of tongs is put into the baby's bed to keep danger away. In England, a baby is taken up- stairs before going down “for luck.™ In Spain, the little one’s face is lightly brushed into the branch of a fire tree, also “for luck.” In America, the girl baby must be dressed with blue ribban trimming; if a boy, with pink-all for luck. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. e ‘Wash the hands with good soap, dry them before retiring, rub- vaseline into and around the nails to overeome crocking and brittleness. An ordinary cold can often be checked in the first stages by induc- ing a good perspiration. A glass of very hot milk drunk after you are in bed or the juice of a lemon added to a tumbler of boiling water, will often accomplish this. A hot bath to which a little ammonia has been added isan- other method. Barley water is a safe and ‘cooling drink and is nutritious as well. Put intc a washed pearl barley, pour over it two quarts of boiling water, cover and let stand until cold. Drain off cup of sugar and a little nutm It lked the juice of a lemon is a pleasant addi- tion. Eat fruit every day, Canmed fruits are good. Cooked fruits are often bet- ter than dubious fresh fruit, but some fresh fruit is essential. Eat fresi greer: vegetables whenever you can get them. Thoroughly wash all raw foods. Eat some of the bulky vege- tables of low food value, like carrots, parscips, spinach, turnip, squash and cabbage, to prevent overnourishment. The feet as a rule perspire more in summer than in winter. The flow, however should be carefully followed. as an excessive amount develops into disease, a_most stubborm allment to conquer. Dally bathing and changing of the hoslery will go far in keeping the feet in a wholesome condition. here this trouble is complicated by an offensive odor it ls well to seek the advice of a physician, for more than local application is required. In many cases astringent baths and powders persistently applied fre- quently relieve and correct the tend- ency toward excessive perspiration. BLEACHING LINEN. The linens of olden days were handed down from mother to daugh- ter, but such is far from being the case to-day, owing to the difference in bleaching. Where formerly it took months of sunshine and rain to bring about the desired whiteness, now it is dome in two or three days by means of strong mineral gases whose fumes bleach, according to their etrensth. more or less quickly. So it is not a poor idea to buy linen which is not yet bleached white, as a few trips to the laundry will remedy this, and in addition it is cheaper, for the bleach- ing process is a costly ome. Then, too, the use of tablecloths and sheets would be lengthened since overbleaching rots This is why blouses seem to melt away in spots.
