At the last session of the legislature it was made evident from all sections of the state that the deer which were ' farmer. The state said that the pret- ‘ty creatures could not be shot and that protection placed the burden of their support upon the cultivators of the soil. Some of the damage Which they did to growing produce and or- chards was paid for by the state. but there was a large amount of it which was not and while it was fully under- stood that the deer were the depreda- tors it was impossible to prove it. The Ellling of deer was permitted only When they were caught in the act of destruction and those instances were few and far between. The remedy for the trouble was de- slared to be the changing of the law #o that the deer could be hunted. This would put an end to the nuisance and the expense and rid the state of the animals which never ought to have, been encouraged to propagate within its limits. The law permitting the hunting of deer was passed and how well it is working out and serving the purpose for which it was intended is disclos - by the statement of John M. Cramp- £ | ton, superintendent of state gamie, when he declares that if the killing is continued at the rate it has been _ maintained since the law went into effect last August, it will mean that there will be no deer in Connecticut in six months more. Thus it means that the legislation enacted at the last session of the general assembly prom- Ises to prove a quick solution of the farmers’ trouble from deer. MISSION TO NEAR EAST. Many are the rumors which sur- round the mission of Lord Kitchener. - That he has gone to the near east is admitted by the British government: and on the way he had an important conterence with the French authori- ties. Soon thereafter comes word that & member of the French cabinet, serv- ing without a portfolio but previously engaged in work connected with for- sign affairs, has left for Athens, and it is but natural that it should be inferred that they are engaged in the task of straightening out the tangle in the Balkans if such a thing is pos- sible. ‘Word now comes to the effect that Lord Kitchener. has been given au- ority to treat with King Constan- of Greece for the purpose of se- the active cooperation of that country with the allies. Benevolent neutrality meant more before the dis- solution of -the chamber of deputies than it does now that that body which was under the control of ex-Premier Venizelos has been put out of exist- ence. The allies have been sending large reinforcements to the relief of the Balkans and now Italy has an- noumced that it will send an army worthy of the greatness of that coun- try to the relief of the threatened na- _tion, while Russia already has plans ~ underway whith will result in the strengthening of the allies’ cause in The allies have long recognized the necessity of preventing any such fizzle 35 followed the negotiations with Bul- garia, Greece and Rumania may be hesitating until - they can decide in their own minds which is going to be _ the winning side, but if their sym- pathies are with the allies the time _is ripe for them to strike and aid in bringing that victory which they look for. The visit of these cabinet officials is therefore ome of much respomsi- ollity. TIME TO STOP CRUELTY, . When it comes to work in behalf 5t the prevention of cruelty to animals _ it must be recognized that a step has Seen taken in the Tight direction sets a bad example which needs cor- rection before it becomies a habit. PLAYED INTO JAPAN'S HANDS. A statement which cannot fail to can steel manufac 000,000 tons of ateel for 55 new steam- ships, the construction of which will be carried on ih Japanese yards. This means of course that Japan is alive to the. opening which has been created for it in the Pacific through the dissolution of the Pacifi¢ Mail and other steamship lines which have pre- viously dane a large part of the trans- pacific business. Japanese steamship lines have been increasing their fa- cilities for handling the transportation business which has been turned over to them by the seamen's act. The ne- cessity of getting more vessels is real- ized ohd no delay is belig permitted in meeting the requirements of the situation. 5 Japan is thus doing just what ought to be underway in this country. The pansion of the Japanese merchant marine has been expectdd and such growth as is contemplated simply de- creases the prospects for shipping un- der the American flag for many of those vessels will be utilized in con- ducting the trade between this country and the orient. The worst feature of this is that not only is the American flag disappear- ing from the high seas, and the action of Japan in stepping into the breech makes ‘it more difficult to resatn lost ground, but it is all the result of our own legisiation. It is the logical re- sult of our lawmaking which has en- tirely disregarded the needs of Amer- ican shipping in spite of a declared wish to have the American merchant ‘marine grow. g st e CHURCHILL'S ACTION MAY HELP. For a long time every intimation that conseription would have toge re- sorted to in Great Britain in ler to secure the required number of men to fill the gaps in the British forces has met with strong opposition. It is not a popular move and up to now the army of three miltion or more that the British have flirnished has been secured under the volunteer plan. In hopes of bolstering up the enlistments and preventing conscription Lord Der- by was placed at the head of an am- bitious scheme of enlistments which involved ‘the solicitation of the men of the country for military service, the response to be made at once for ser- vice at such a time as it might be needed in, the future. It furnished the government a basis for estimating the number ‘of reserves upon whom it might count for future operations. For a time 1t promised to solve the problem, for the response was. large and there are the colonies which have proved of great assistance in the hours of need, but with the remainder of the month allowed to determine whether it is going to prove successful in avolding ‘conscription, the situation depends entirely upon the men of the British Tsles. [ Not a little influence is likely to be exerted by the announcement just made by Winston S. Churchiil, former first lord of the admiraity and up to his resignation a member of the cab- inet, that he is going to the front with his regiment, where he can be of more service to his country. This is ltkely to create a strong impression upon those who have come to be termed the “slackers” and the next two weeks can be depended upon to ‘determine ‘Whether the English policy of recruit- ing an army is going to succeed or fail. With conscription as the alter- native the decision rests with the men of Britain. EDITORIAL NOTES. ‘What wouldn't Capt. Kidd bave giv- en for a commission in the Austrian submarine service? The man on the corner says: A man'y enthusiasim may wane, but his prejudices remain about the same from day to day. . — The instructors: who recommend wand exercises with a broom should first inquire about the girls they are talking to. —— The determination of Mexico to set- tle down only creates an increased anxiety among many as to when it will settle up.

Rub ‘the soil- ed spois harder than the rest, then rub At all off. 3 Gum arabic is excellent for remov- ing the stains on marble. Make a|. fution of the gum arabic and, water, ng it remain until it dries, then pull or wash it off. Pour boiling water on oranges, let them stand for five minutes, then the white lining will come away clean with the skin and you can quickly slice a large quantity. When a pie is ready for the oven, pour cold water over it and drain. Put at once into a hot oven and it will bake at.once to a rich brown and the crust-will be much more flaky. Always remove perspiration stains on white clothes and undergarments in the following manner: First dampen the article with a little lemon juice before it is put into soap and water. To. keep a dish of food hot for half an hour or longer, a better plan than putting it in the oven is to set it in a sancepan of boiling water, letting the saucepan stand on the top of the stove. To remo¥e smoke stains from the ceiling, mix a thick paste of starch and water, and with a clean flannel spread it over the mark. Allow it to get thoroughly dr., then brush off with a eoft brush. If you want to paper a room cheap- 1y yet artistically, use rolls of coarse brown paper that the butchers use {or wrapping paper. Put it on the wall the same way as ordinary wall paper is put on. To relieve and sometimes cure a cough roast a lemon very carefully without burning it. When it is thor- oughly hot cut and squeeze it into a cup containing finely powdered sugar. Take this while it is still hot. TABLE LINEN SUPPLY. The far seeing woman manages to be a dozen ahcad of her necds in table and bed linen. Thus she has an extra_dozen of napkins laid away in her chest for a hurry call, so that if she finds 'the dozen in actual use suddenly giving out, she has some presentable ones ready for unexpected Buests and to keep her going until she has’'been able to buy, hem and mark a new dozen.

Facial massage stim- ulates the circulation in the face, and this, of course, remedies many skin defects. Dori't forget that exercising briskly in cold or even damp air is usually harmless, but that sitting in a cold or damp house or in wet clothes is very likely to be followed by any one of a number of winter ills. Without question it is just as nec- essary to have a window in the sleep- Ing room raised at the bottom and lowered at the top In_winter as well a8 in the summer. Have sufficient dovers to keep warm, but remember that fresh air is quife.as important; and is the yery foundation of health. Bags containing various mixtures to use In the bath are more delicious than soap agd sometimes agree better with BEWARE TIGHT COLLAR. There is a doctor who waged a war You Cannot Afford To Miss ‘Order Your Seats Now Fgrhy?chmua against tight collars when they were| in fashion, and if they come back to fashion, which seems likely, it is well 3:5"3.""’" his arguments. He at u alarming sympt the collar that binds the neck too trouble does not lie in the fact that the pressure on the windpipe is too severe. This preesure, to be sure, is not a_good thing; but the ‘neck, it seems, has many highly organized, sensitive nerves, which do their best.to notify their owner that they are being badly treated by mak- ing her dizzy, faint, short of bréath and filled” with various aches and pains. T IVORY STAINS. When the stains on ivory are slight and will not disappear when rubbed off with a dry cloth, wash the article thoroughly in warm’' water and soap- suds and then, without drying it on a cloth, place it in the bright sunlight for a few minutes. This exposure will usuvally remove the stains. After they have - disappeared wash the ivory again in soap and water. rinse it thoroughly and dry carefuily with a soft cloth. Where the stains do not disappear entirely after contact with the ‘sun’s rays, the ivory should be washed again in soap and water, then rinsed in clear water to which a li§- tle lemon juice has been added. Care must be taken to have the temper: ture of the water right, as too great heat will injure ivory. Dark discol-, orations require the services of an ex- pert to remove. DICTATES OF FASHION Bishop sleeves are one of the novel features of coat: A modified moyen age style is in evidence this autum Little shoulder capes are the short walsted coats. seen on Some: of the finer waists are of vel- vet and chiffon combined. There never twas greater latitude in fur fashions than this year. High collars are promised for the crepe de chine waists of next win- ter. Sergé and whipcord retain all ‘their old favor as material for suits. Panne plush is one of the preferred materials for dressy suits. White organdie has been and still is im great favor. Slashed clath skirts over velevt or silk are a charming fashion: 0dd velvet coats will be worn with cloth or rep serge skirts. Chiffon eleeves seem to be as much as_ever in favor for fall dresses. Black lace dresses with many ruches at the hem are certainly charming and distinguished looking. All sorts of trimmings are being used as borders to fabrics and many stuffs are woven with borders which come in most usefully for trimmings. Silk braiding s being much used as a trimming on tailor mades, and fur is being put on in bands—throat bands, cuffs, bands round the skirt and so on. The coatee blouse will probably be much in evidence as the autumn season advances and will be in velvet Thirteenth Year Attention, Farmers!

Save all old safety razor biades to rip with; very fine for ripping off buttons, aléo hooks and eves. ‘When sewing on buttons hold a pin across the button and sew over it; when button is all sewed on take out pin; it leaves the button loose and easy to button.

PINCUSHION ODDITY. If you are begining to collect nov- elties for the coming gift season, don’t fail to inspect the new black~ berry pincushions. They may be made at home by the ingenious girl with several boxes of black-headed pins, a bunch of amificial foliage and a small wicker basket. The pins are arrang- ed among the foliage to resemble large hothouse berries. Among the sugges- tions for silver gifts you may find this same idea_in a cmaller basket of silver, with the berries of the black pins like the homelier arrangement. NEEDLEWORK NOTES. If the sleeves of the frock or bod- ice in queetion are of net or chiffon, a lining sleeve is often effective, made of chiffon for net sleeves, of net for chiffon ones. It should follow the cut of the outer sleeves, béing a very little tighter. To make it especially dainty cut it in two_ between wrist fand elbow and run in by hand a strip of very narrow and dainty ace bead- ing. This takes littla time, but gives a really charming effect through the transparent outer sleeve. The woman who sews well often does not undertake to make her own clothes, simply because she knows that it is impossible for her to give them the proper finish.- But if once she can master a few details of fin- ishing, even the woman who does not sew well will dare to undertake a pew, frock or blouse of pretentious fashion. / “ At the trimming and plaiting shops, possible to get various sorts of dainty finishes made. Machine hemstitching for cuffs and collars and hems. picot edges, pleating of all sorts, shirring and cording, all these are done for reasonable sums, and-often a bit of such finishing goes a long way to- ward giving the right air to a home- magde frock. But the woman of ingenuity can do many things herself to give her frocks the right style. For one. thing she can substitute a dainty finish for a picot edge. This is used along the edge of flounces and frills with good effect. Simply roll the edge in a tiny roll and whip it over and over, evenly but not specially close together, with strong thread of a matching or con- trasting shade. ‘When there is a_transparent bodice or vest, a little_underbodice or part of one should be fastened under it. For a transparent vest the underbodice need be no more than a piece of chif- fon or net that reaches from the waist to the chest, gathered or shirred to the belt of the bodice and daintily shirred at the top, edged perhaps with narrow lace and fastened to- gether with ribons or snapers. FOX FUR LIKED. The most fashionable fur for neck- plece and muff sets seems to be fox, particularly blue fox and rose fox— the latter dyed by rather an expensive process. Smoked fur is also in favor since gray shades will be much worn this season, and one may even have gunmetal fox or battle ship sray fox by siving an order to an expert fur- rier. These fox pelts in soft, neutral tones are very becoming to the face and they are much smarter now, even with black or datk colored costumes, than skunk or mink, though these furs will be standbys, as-they always are. Black fox is not one of fashion's fav- orites in peltry this season, but lynx, long haired and silky, is. Lynx is to trim seal-skin coats, to border evening frocks of gauzy black net and to trim sumptuous velvet wraps, as well as for gracetul neckpiece and muff sets. Lynx looks. particularly well with green broadcloth and is infinitely smart with plaid or striped Wworsteds Used.by yo 73 MEATS OR FOWL.

Very often shoe polish or stove pol- ish becomes hard and dry. This softens the polish and reakes it bet- ter for use. CLEANING BRONZES. Soapsuds and a soft cloth will clean bronze ornaments satisfactorily. A dry cloth or chamois can be used for drying afterward. RECIPES. Mock Lobster Salad—Wash about eight good sized potatoes and put on to boil. Do not pare them until they are cooked. When they are well done drain off the water and let them stand until cool; now pare them; if you have a potato ricer use that; if not mash them. Next take five or six lettuce leaves, chop finely, add to the riced (or mashed) potato, season with salt to taste. Now add about two tablespoonfuls of good catchup and stir all together. In your salad dish arrange a few lettuce leaves, put in your potato salad, then pour ‘over ecither a little more catchup or salad dressing. Tastes very much like lob- ster. Ginger Cream—Beat the yolks of three egss, add pint milk, two table- spoons sirup from preserved ginger and one cup sugar. Cook all together until thick. Strain, add one table- spoon gelatin that 'has been dissolved in a little cold milk, the whites of three eggs beaten stiff and beat all together until it begins to thicken, then add four ounces of preserved ginger cut in very small pieces. Put in a mold to cool and serve with whiped cream. The War a Year Ago Today | Ne®. 15, 1914 Allies drove the Germans across the Ypser.

An ordimary trop im Vermont is 3,200,000 bushels of good quality, andas:land is comparatively cheap’and the cli- mate is favorable there is no doubt that the 'vield can be greatly in- creased. These facts were presented at the “country fair” held recently in Boston, and the probability is that many ' farmers will be induced to plant new trees and to take better care of the old onmes. But Vermont has no monopoly of favorable climate and soll. The best of fruit can be grown in southern New England. It | should be noted that at the “country |(C!Il'" at which Vermont apples were exploited some of the prizes were awarded to the owners of orchards in Rhode Island. Vermont, however, is entitled to much credit for .starting empetition With the western growers. The other New-Engiddd states should * join in''the movement for producihg and selling apples at home. — Prov- idence Journal. King Constantine aissolved the Greek parliament.
