The manufacturers of munitions of war complain that the tax upon their industry is too great—it is unfair and destructtve. \ Easily made millions always feel direct taxes most, and make the loud- est protests because they are com- pelled to contribute their share in support of the government. We agree with the Detroit Free Press when it says: “It strikes us that the munitions companies have pointed out the very best reason why they should be taxed heavily. A few years ago, it was re- vealed in the German reichstag that the Krupps hired agents for the pur- pose of stirring up trouble in foreign capitals in order to stimulate invest- ments in armament. 'We do not want this so-called Kruppism in America. We do not want citizens whose enor- mous profits will tempt them into in- citing bad feeling among the nations simply that the profits may be main- tained. If the managers of the Krupp plant fell so low, there is no reason to believe that Americans will prove, in like circumstances, superior to such appetites.” The premiums upon trouble in va- rious directions are already too great.

NO CLEAN MILK. A Waterbury doctor makes the statement that there is no such thing as clean milk obtainable from even the hest kept & s and dairy herds. When he was charged with having said 97 per cent. of the milk delivered in the city was filthy, he objected to talle for good roads, and not one vet built. There is no doubt Roger Casement was too dear to the Irish people to be sacrificed.

A WORLD-HOPE—A CONTINUOUS PRAYER. All over the world today there ex- iste the thought that out from this great world war is to come a more abiding peace and an order of things which shall make in life happier men. This is the hope of the whole world and it is the faith which sustains the sidiers in the trenches on both sides of the battlefields. An Austrian soldier left a letter for his sister to be opened after his death, which has come to light. In it this man of the trenches said: “We go to battle for free@om and justice, and we struggle for a lasting peace! (This is what the priest said today in his sermon during mass. Solemnly thé trumpets accompanied the hymns and deep silence prevailed in our ranks. Though I do not believe in the church and her doctrines, seri- ous thoughts came to me, as probably to every other young comrade). ‘We are fighting for a lasting peace.’ If thls is really attained, then I shall not have yleided up my young life in vain. For when you read this letter, 1 shall be resting under the sod. Mw spur of endurance was the thought of the world-peace which is to follow on this world-war. I left this world un- willingly. . . Do not forget what I Itved for, what in the end I died for; the building up of a better order, »vhich shall g-;uah@plgr‘;:eg.v, - When did the QOdones lose the spirit of the past? And how long do they expect to be finding it? Do not let the world look too crook- ed to you! This is one way to un- dermine your own happiness. The Man on the Corner says: “The girls In striped dresses look too much like animated barbers’ poles.” Hughes holds the ballot is a federal right women are entitled to, not a state right they may plead for. Pull down your vest and wipe your chin. In theatrical circles it is said “The Merry Widow,” is coming back. The fact that the friends of Charles B. Hughes call him Charley shows it is not difficult to break ice with him. Since Auguet cannot possibly do worse than the preceding months have there is ground for the hope it may do better, It will be some time before the Deutschland will think it safe to put up her wireless to send love to the Bremen. Since Hushes stands for woman suf- frage Wilson may be expected to change his frown to a smile In that @irection. ‘Will the kaiser please state whether he expects to take his Christmas din- ner this year in Constantinople, Paris or Verdun. About 500 lives have been lost since Wilson invaded Mexico. Do these count for nothing? What has been gained by the sacrifice? When Hughes turned the republi- can searchlight upon Wilson the ad- ministration locked as if it had been weighed and. found wanting. —_— The man who sends his family to the shore, covers the stoves with pans and kettles, fills the sink with dishes, then goes to the.restaurant to eat. ‘Why .should Germany start a cru- sade for peace within her own bor- ders?

I don't believe 1 cught to, anyway,” she finished, doubt- fully. “What if you get sick living on bakers’ stuff and canned things?” “Now stop it, Grace! I should think 1 was a four-year-old.

There's the train! Good-by!” And Henry was left to keep bachelor hall for a probable two or ihree weeks. For the first three days all went se- renely, and then the meat, bread, cake and pie that Grace had left gave out, and Henry had to begin his own plan- ning. He didn't think to put up the card for the meat-man tili he saw that important person flying past in his car, and so he decided to oven a can of sardines for dinner. The baker he lost in so it was crackers and sardines, or would have been, but Piffe investigated the open can and took first choice while Henry was answering a 'phone call.

To begin with, he over- slept, which excited him enough to make him spill coffee on his hand, burning it, and on the table and rug. While he tried to mop this up with a hastily snatched up traycloth, a whir- ring sound caused him to look up,and to his dismay, he beheld a little flock o chimney ewallows issuing from the fireplace. Before he could catch them, they had distributed soot most impar- tially between window draperies, table- cloth and floor. He could almost hear his wife saying, “But why didn’t you put the fireboard up?” Just then he was called to the telephone. It was long-distance, Grace's voice. Before he could reply he noticed a fine black feathery something floating in the air and dropping all about him. It ren- dered his voice a bit nervous as ho replied, “Good for you—see you to- morrow, then—good enough—sure, I'm all right—well, g00d-by, till later.” And he hurried to the kitchen, which to his horror he found full of thick, black smoke. He threw open doors and windows, extinguished the treacherous, old-fash- joned oil stove on which he had been heating dish water for a dreaded “semi- occasional” task. When he was able to see across the room he surveyed the various kinds of dirt and disorder and ran his hands desparingly through his hair as he wondered where to begin. Tken an inspiration came. In a n boring town lived a cousin. He hur- ried to the telephone: ‘®®usin Helen? Good. Say, could you help me out on a pinch?’ And he explained, fir hing with: “Yes, Tl see you back home. Bless your heart. The next day as Mrs. Grace was nearing her home station one of her 1e aboard, ard, seeing her, and remarked in a half-playful, half-malici ner: “I guess it's a good thing you're home to see to that husband of yours. He was out driving yesterday with some pretty girl” Grace intended to meet her husband with suspicion, but he was so unaf- fectedly glad to see her thut shecould not help meeting him half way, and re- served her decision on what she had heard. She found everything inper- fect order and plenty of freshly cooked food, which Henry said he ‘“bought.” As she started to hang her coat in the hall she noticed a bracelet and two rings_hanging on a hook. With re- newed suspicion she examined them. She found the initials “H. M.” And then she knew—some things—but just to tease Henry she exclaimed: “I was told that you had a pretty girl out driving, and that she had been here too. What about it?” But she could not keep her face straight at the sight of Henry's, so she burst into a peal of laughter, and in another moment she was in his arms. “Oh, Henry!" she laughed, “I just knew things would happen, and you would have to call for help, But I ever thought of Helen till I saw her initials in her ring.”—Boston Post.

No More Back-Breaking Scuttles To Be Carried Up Those Cellar Stairs If you buy coal in large quantities you must have room to store it; if in small quantities, it is expensive. When you want to use it you must carry it from its storage place to your range, and of all tasks that is one _of the most weary. When you burn wood or coal you have the heat, dirt, and the trouble of attending to the fire. If you use gas you require no room for storage; no back-breaking scut- tles to be carried from the cellar to the kitchen. The fire in the gas range burns steadily and without atten- tion; it is always ready, without dirt or trouble, in large or small quantities.
