It makes little difference when or ‘where efforts are undertaken in be- half of child welfare there is always an opportunity for improving exist- ing conditions, but with the present week being observed throughout the country as “Baby Week” the interest thus awakened by the organized movement ought to bring more than average results. The purpose of the move is twofold, to give parents a chance to learn how to care for their children properly, and to bring home to everyone in the community the facts relating to the bables of the community, and the need of permanent work for their wel- fare. It is a matter to which too much thought and attention cannot be given. Child welfare exhibits are always profitable, the value of lower- Ing the death rate among children ought to require no urging, while the thousand and one details which go with the bringing into the world and rearing of healthy babies are of too much importance not to get the con- sideration which they deserve. The census bureau estimafes that on an average one in eisht of all the bables born in the United States die before they are twelve months old. But this average does not tell the ‘whole story for more babies die in some districts than in others, and such an average may mean that in some groups one in three of all the bables dle and in others oniy one in twenty five. Whatever can be done therefore which will aid in the care of the mid- gets is worthy of universal support, and it is by such campaigns of edu- cation as is represented by Baby ‘Week that the desired end can be at- tained. The movement is thus one ‘which should be entered into with en- thusiasm and determination, with every community lending every possi- ble encouragement SPENDING PUBLIC MONEY. It is impossible for the people of other states mot to get interested in the manner in which those in the Em- Dire state who participated in the California junket during the exposi- tion are trying to prevent a detailed statement of their expenditures from being made public. The sum of $700,000 was spent by the commission which looked after the details of the New York party's tri and' inasmuch as it was the people’s money that was spent there should be an accounting. It is not sufficient to Teport the total amount, for from the minute that it becomes impossible to get an insizht into the different uses to which the money was put suspic- fon begins to breed, and whether| there is any good foundation for it or not the very thing which would clear up the situation is being covered up. ‘When it comes to spending almost three-quarters of a million, whether it 1s in the big state of New York or one of the smaller ones, there ought to be proper respect for those who are forced to provide it and especially so when it is used for meeting the ex- penses of a pleasure trip. It makes no difference if such methods have been adopted In the past for that is reason enough why it should not be countenanced any longer, and there ought not to be any toleration of the Idea, which too many have, that as long as it is the state’s money that is being spent there is no limit which they are bound to respect. New York does right in insisting upon an itemized account and it might not have been a bad idea to have ‘withheld the appropriation until after such had been filed. THAT BILLARD DEAL. No transaction in which the New Haven road was involved called forth more comment and criticism than the Billard deal whereby the stock in the Boston & Maine read held by the New Haven was sold as required by the legislation passed in Massachusetts. it was impossible to get at the real facts in that transaction although it was commonly reported that the Bil- lard company had profited to the ex- tent of nearly three million dollars by simply taking that property from the New Haven road and turning it back again, The claim has always been made that the profits from such a sale should have resulted to the benefit of the seller instead of enriching the treasury of the company which acted 28 the transfer agent but it was evi- flent that it did not. It was upon this ‘ that the new management of New Haven brought suit against company was forced to pay when, un- der a change in the law a number of months later it bought back the shares which had been turned over to the Billard company. The whole affair was clouded with much mystery and the recent an- nouncement that a compromise had been effected whereby the New Ha- ven road has secured $1,250,000 does not clear it up. It prevents it from being alred in the courts and the only concluston that can be reached is that the contention of the present admin- istration of the road was such that the defendants did not care to try it out and trust to thelr side getting the decision, and it is safe to say that no further deals of that character can b expected In the future. A NAVAL WEAKN! Admiral Fletcher has on previous oceastons referred to the weak points in the navy of this country and made recommendations which ought to be followed in order to overcome them, but it was a telling point which he made before the house naval commit- tee when he declared that the Atlantic fleet s shy six vessels because of the need of extensive repairs and the lack of officers and men, which makes it impossible for them to operate with the others. This 1s an unfortupate handicap, even though the admiral declares that the fleet would be able to operate ef- ficlently without them, when it is re- alized that it takes time to secure men for officers and give them the required amount of training. It might be con- sidered that officers could be hustled along should occasion require but in the opinion of the admiral it requires ten vears to train a competent lieu- tenant or leutenant commander, which indicates that no time should be lost in making provision for the short- age that already exists. It was not long ago that the admiral pointed out the need of 5000 more men in the navy for the purpose of operat- ing the ships already possessed and when it is shown what effect this shortage has upon the vessels which are rated as belng in active service, on which there is not a full quota of officers, it can be appreclated that there should be no further delay in meeting the requirements. It would be a sad situation indeed should the time ever come when the full flect was required and it was found to be impossible to give a proper account of itself because the warnings con- cerning the lack of officers had not been heedcd. SUGGESTIONS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE. Hot water bottles, before being hung away, should first be dried, then in- flated with air end the stopper put in securely. This prevents sticking to- gether, which in a short time ruins the rubber. 1 _a candle wont fit, don't cut the candle or burn it in ‘the flame: dip the end in hot water for a few mo- ments. This will soften the wax and you can easily mold it to fit the can- Qlestick. Pleces of dry bread and toast should be kept in a covered jar until you are ready to use them. Dry bread and toast can be used for a score of things and odd bits should mever be thrown away. 1f it is necessary to give a very young baby medicine and the little mite will not open his mouth, gently pinch his nostrils, have the spoon ready to tip into his mouth directly he opens it to breathe. To take out machine oil spots, tack a plece of cotton-wool over the spot. Leave it on for some time. You will find the cotton-wool absorbs the oil and the mark will be entirely removed from the material. Try whipping the cream in the up- per part of a double boiler, with fine ice or cold water placed in the lower part. The cream will not spatter so much and will be kept cool and will whip much more quickly. Stains caused by heated dishes on trayvs or tables can be removed by a thin paste made of salad oil and salt. Spread it over the marked place and leave It for an hour or more; then rub it off with a soft cloth. Cheese can be prevented from mold- ing by wringing a cloth out of vine- gar. Wrap it around the cheese and put the whole in a large bag. Then put it in a cool place; the cheese will keep in fine condition CULTIVATE A SMILE. your smiles unceasingl does not mean that yo strect cars wearing an In- Not at all!

The submarine’s means of at- tack are necessarily sudden and sum- mary. The German government be- ing unable to put any other kind of a vessel on the high seas, desires to get the full benefit of this weapon.

Just before going out you should always rub in a little cold cream, for it wi protect the skin in the best way. SHOES TO MATCH. Tn shoes for winter wear the newest ehowings are in colors. There are shoes to match almost every popular shade. Gray, purple, blue, tan, buff end white are the colors shown in_the street shoes. The new college boot comes with a black patent leather lower and a white top. It has a mod- erate heel. Some of the more attrac- tive evening pumps show the effec- tive use of sequims. Jet trimming on white is very etriking. Narrow fringe is also used on evening slippers. New and dainty are the cretonne boudoir slippers in Roman stripes. WHEN CHOOSING PORK. From the radical position which the new moon has taken on the question of dryness it looks as i the prohibi- tion movement had gotten a strong hold on the planets. _— There is little surpriss in the vote of the lower house of congress Where- by the bill reducing the mileage from 20 to G cents was defeated.

Brocade evening shoes always have a definite charm, Coats of the new cream fabric prom- ise to be popalar. Very soft woolens seem to be in favor for spring skirts. Dainty robes of embroidered flounc- ing are again in vogue. Long transparent sleeves are often used for tulle theater frocks. Black velvet is sald to be as uni- versally becoming as blue serge. The inexpensive evening wrap can be made rich by velvet trimming. Becomingness and etyle are indis- pensable nowadays for motor coats. Leather belts and trimmings are a feature of many sports suits. Tuck® on the new chiffon dresses are run with ribbon of a contrasting color. Picot edged taffeta as well as taffeta pinked as to edges, forms a substitute for the inevitable fur trimming. FROM HANDKERCHIEFS. There are so many lovely things that a girl can make from handkerchlefs that she should not despise these of- ferings when they come as gifts even are the plain hemstitched va- T instance, she mizht follow the example of one clever miss who had four hemstitched and embroidered handkerchiefs ziven to her, too pretty for the use for which they were in- tended. She laid them out before her on her bed, makine a large square of them, and suddenly the idea occurred to her to Join_them together with strips of lace and edze the whole thing with val edging. This she did hav- ing an opening in the square where the sides of two handkerchiefs met and ng lace on each side instead of joining them together with one |piece. Then she threw the pretty { thing ahout her shoulders, never even cutting 2 neck line and the cunningest | short neglicee was the result. A few ribbons at the meck and under the arms to hold the jacket on, made it prettier still. But the funny part about # was that while she was making this negli- ce, severnl other ideas for using handkerchiefs came to her. That aft- ernoon at a mussed handkerchief sale she picked up three plain linen hand- kerchicfs with narrow pink borders— her rom was “done” in pin—and at the next table a piece of fine torchon laco which looked almost like cluny.

This pleased her so much that she used a second handkerchief al- most like the first to make a turned bac k band on a small baby cap, cut- z the handkerchief in half and us- each half for the band, which parated at the top of the cap. She discovered the value of hand- kerchiefs for making aprons, boudofr caps, bibs, collars, jabots and many, many othér pretty article where the ious part of the work is apt to come when haw edzes have to be roll ed or hemmed.

Blanket stitch s popular at the pres- ent time, largely due fo the fact that a bit of color can quickly be applied in a decorative way by means of this useful stitch. Some of the new serge dresses of dark blue have a bit of em- broidery done in this way, using wor- steds as the medium. Long and short blanket stitch around the collar and the sieeves or outlining a vest effect on the front of the dress, with per- haps a scroll design carried out in the same way on the girdle, gives a tell- ing touch to the 'gown. Gray worsted or an old blue shade on a darker blue are new and attractive combinations.

BETTER THAN CALOMEL Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Ed- wards’ Olive Tablets are a Harmless Substitute. Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets—tho substitute for calomel—are a mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. They ure the result of Dr. Edwards’ deter- mination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel. His efforts to banish it brought out these little olive-colored tablets. These pieasant little tablets do the good that calomel does, but have no bad after effects. They don’t injure the teeth like strong liquids or calo- mel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel, but to let Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets take its place. Most headaches, “dullness” and that lazy feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver.
