The way in which the examiners| discover defectives amongy old mili- tiamen and raw:recrhits in ‘this‘coun- try shows, that the supply’of ‘men is abundant and ‘the necessity: for them not intense. How ‘glad any “of the battling countries 'would be of the ‘men for'defence which American ex- aminers .rule out.

THE AUTOMOBILE'S EFFECT UP- ON THE CHURCH. The automobile lessens church at- tendance as well as palronage to rail- way-and trolley lines.

SEAL YOUR KETCHUP THIS WAY, This process of sealing grape juice, ketchups, etc., saves much time and annayance when vou are ready to use the contents of the hottle. Place across the top of the bottle a number of strands of stout string. Then drive the cork in firmly so that the strands of cord protrude at each side. The bottle may then be sealed. When it is to be opened, break the wax and draw the cork by pulling on each side of the bottle. DRYING THE LACE CURTAIN. It is quite difficult to dry lace cur- tains without a stretcher.

Cheese Sandwiches—Blend together the volks of one hard hoiled egg with one teaspoonful of melted butter until smooth, then add. to this half a tea- spoonful each of salt, Depper and mustard, blending each well with the mixture before adding the others. Then grate one-quarter of a pound of American cheese and spinkle this over. 311, mixing it in well. Stir in one ta- bléspoonfisl of vinegar and spread this mixture between thin slices of white or brown bread. A KNACK IN HEMMING SKIRTS.

A tiny pocket on the side of a pair of silk stockings provides a place for carrying the handkerchief while danc- ing. This pocket is jus: a nice height above the. ankle and on ‘the outer side of the right stocking.

Imagine ihe truly poetic effect of three Jace butterflies (with wings up- raised so that they flutter bewlitching- ly) on the front of her stockings. one above the other, from instep to shoe- top helght! Of course, these are to be worn only with dancing slippers, or similar ones equally low. FOR THE PICNIC BASKET. Here is a simple way of preparing jellled chicken for picnics and excur- Sions. Take agthrce or four-pound chicken and bof It antil the fesh is ready to fall from the bones. Let boil down so that there will not be a large quantity of water at the end. Chop the meat fine. Aave ready a generous | tablespoonful of gelatine softened in a little cold water. Dissolve it by add- ing a pint of the hot chicken pot liquor. Add a pinch of paprika onion, salt to taste. Put the chi meat and the dissolved gelatin: gether and turn into a cake tin that s been lined with oiled paper. This will slice readily, and unless the ather is very hot the gelatine will hold it in sHees until lunch time. i HOUSEHOLD HELPS. Jf esgs you are about to boil are cracked, add a little vinegar to the water, and they can be hoiled as sat- isfactorily as undamaged ones. Don’t throw bones that have been boiled for soup into the dustbin. Put them at the back of the fire, bank up 7ith well-damped small coal, and they will burn for hours. Tnk stains can be removed without injuring the most delicately colored material. Mix some mustard into a thick paste and spread over the stain.

Mr. Editor:—The latest news from England is that Bulgaria wants to be forgiven and return to her neutrality, The censors of Great Britain are sending out these reports by the wholesale. In fact, if we relied on the English news as they tell it to us, Germany would have been crushed long, ago. With the Allles big gains, pushing the Germans back seven to ten miles each day the Teutons would be somewhere in central Russia by this time, the English flag would float above Constantinople, and Bagdad would be in British hands. Two of these glgantic attempts to “stuff” the American public have fall- en through. One was at Gallipoll, where the English were advancing at lightning speed toward Constantino- ple and the other where they were marching up the Tigris and Euphrates valley bent on seizing Bagdad. The Galiipoli campaign ended disastrous- Iy for the English, we all know, as the Turks turned the peninsula Into a regular slaughter pen where thousands of brave fellows lost their lives. The Asian campaign which was proceed- ing so victoriously northward ended by the comples surrender to the Turks of the e DBritish force, many miles from their objective point. With these two enormous exposures as to what the British censors are trying to ram down the throats of the public, how can they expect us to be- liev he questionable stories that thev are sending out?

They always kill woman and children or blow up private property or cathedrals. Not long ago the English made a raid on some German city and killed scores of soldiers and blew up ammunition trains and depots. The Itallan aero- planes raided the Austrian city of Trieste and although the Austrian military governor stated that some women or children were killed, we failed to see any account of it in the Italian officlal news, which claimed what biz damage it did to the Aus- trian military propert: However, when Austrian airmen raid Venice or some other northern Italian town, the world sets up a howl about the beau- tiful treasures of art which are des- troyed and holds up its hands fn hor- ror at the many women and children who are k And the British news never f: to mention in an account of these raids. the number of the non- combatants killed!

Italy was going to be in pos- session of Tricste in less than a month after her entry into the war, but she is still as far away from it as ever. Germany has boasted about things that she has never been able to do, but England is boasting that she has done things and is doing things that she can never expect to do. England has three million men un- der arms. Where are they? The war map shows her to be holding just about thirty-five miles of the rnighty battle front in France. Belglum holds fifteen miles and France the remain- der. On what front is England doing any fighting, except of course where there is a victorv. and then the‘Eng- lish always win it. 4 .

How much longer must Greece submit to the humiliating conditions thrust on her by the Allies?
