Unless industry in this country is given the proper kind of protection it is going to find that the additional business which has been thrown this way as the result of the European confiict might just as well not have been secured if we are going to sit quietly and make no provision for the future. The need of protection is ap- parent and the time to arrange for it is now. In this connection the Manufac- turers Record, the industrial weekly of the south, that section of the country which is fast developing in- dustrially, but which has been solidly behind the democratic ideas regard- g the tariff, says that “In Furope, after the war, men who have been or- ized into mighty fighting ma- will be organized™into the of the greatest scientific indus- machine that man has ever ned of” and “the only kind of redness that will meet this con- dition is a protective tariff.” The Record is not the only one to ! recoznize the situation and the rem- for the voters of the country are to the situation and they fully stand that it is the republican ty with its principles which can be 24 upon to furnish the relief. routes in Eastern Connecticut.

Germany cannot overlook the part which it has played in the in- troduction of asphyxiating gases or the great havoc it has wrought by its aerial raids, ,which attacks have not been confined to securing military ad- vantages but have been directed against defenseless communities and used in taking the lives of non- combatants, to say nothing of the slaughter which has taken place of women and children. It is a case where Germany considers making a protest over war methods when its own hands are anything but clean. the independent state.” Much emphasis has been placed upon the claim of Huerta being a murderer and that he presented his claim for recognition with blood on his hands but Mr. Taft declares “Huerta himself denfed it and there were reasons for attributing the act to others.” Fur- thermore the recognition of Huerta had been recommended by Ambassa- dor Henry L. Wilson, who “had rend- ered most effective service” and who had secured from Huerta action on the claims of this country and its cit- izens for injuries sustained. Recog- nition was withheld sclely out of re- spect to the incoming administration and it is the action which was per- mitted it which has resulted in the present situation. The question as to what Taft would have done seems hlowever to be pretty definitely set- tled. . EDITORIAL NOTES. From all reports Mexico appears to be able to produce its annual crop of discontent. oot The man on the corner says: The lazy man considers an offer of work the next thing to assault and battery. CRUSH THE BLACKMAILERS. ‘While much is being said about the encouragement which has been lent to the organization of the blackmail syndicate which has been recently routed in. Chicago, by the Mann white slave act, it is not to be supposed that blackmailing had never been attempt- ed up to the time that law passed. Blackmailing is an old device. It has been in use for a great many ¥ears and it can be expected that it will be practiced for years to come, Just the same as there will be vio- lators of other laws which are found necessary to reduce crime. That the Mann act may have called attention to a new and highly profit- able field for blackmail is fully recog- nized, but that does not mean that the authorities should not use every means within their power to ferret out and convict those who are resort»l ing to it. On the other hand it should increase their activity. Black- mail is not to be countenanced because a certain law may make it easier to engage in it, and it is not to be sup- posed that laws are necessarily to be abandoned just because there are those who are anxious to take advantage of their provisions and thereby vio- late other laws, but rather does it call for the diligent searching out of those who are determined to do as they please regardless of the law. One law gets no more respect from them than another and it is time that such people were taught a lesson not only for their own good but for the effect It will have upon others. TWO CASES ENDED. Two cases arising out of conduct towards Americans on the high seas have undoubtedly been scttled by the statements made in regard to them by the British. Tn one of them Great Britain was directly involved while in the other suspicion was directed to- wards a German submarine. In the case of the steamer Cebu Is it possible that the Bremen has lost its compass and is traveling around In a circle out in fhe Atlan- tic? The Serbians are giving a good demonstration of what they can do in a fight for the recovery of home and country. New Haven {s to have a new mil- lion dollar station, which shows that everything comes to him who waits, and calls and helps. All that is needed now is to de- velop a “tank” that will burrow un- derground and the Germans will turn the laugh on the British. Inasmuch_as China is asking for a loan of $50,000,000 from five big powers it is to be supposed that Japan has given its permission. It is claimed that the year's bean crep is short. The householders have long since become acquainted with the fact that this food like most oth- ers is going up. Automobile drivers continue to at- tack telegraph poles and locomotives without apparently stopping to think that if life isn’t considered valuable poles and engines still are, It is apparent that the same facts have not been considered by those prophets, one of whom declares that Germany will sue for peace in November and the other who sees the end of the war five years off. Secretary Baker would have been Jjustified in leaving it to inference, in- stead of taking the time to declare, which was held up by a British war- | that there is no fixed policy regarding ship within the thrés%mile limit in the | the maintenance of. troops along the Rhilinnjnes. the explapation and.anol-~ border. - ek b | pens to be | erable germs. SUGGESTION FOR THE HOUSEWIFE. The gloss oh the table cloth is the result of ironing the article while it is thoroughly demp and not allowing it to become dry. It is best not to put the cogs of the dover eggbeater in water. Coffee stains should be treated with boiling water when fresh. “When fish are fresh the flesh is firm, the eyes and gills are bright. ‘To remove chocolate stains, soak in kerosene and wash in cold water. Fried food should never be allowed to become cold before servimg. Fish should never be put into the ice box with other food unless closely covered. It is a wise precaution to pour boil- ing soda water down the sink every morning. Pure glyderine is a very good rem- edy for cleansing a cut and causing it ‘to heal. Twice the quantity of coffee should ?e used when making afterdinner -cof- ee. Coffee should be bought for family use in small quantities, freshly roasted and ground. - A cupful of liquid is all the cup will hold. A tea or tablespconful is all spoon will hold. Long white gloves that are worn out can be cut up into convenient pieces for the nail buffer. The curtain and portiere poles will allow the hangings to elip easily if rubbed with hard soap. CHILLED WATER BEST. Whether you will find it harmful to take chilled water with your meals depends considerably on your habits of mastication. But one thing is cer- tain—the neral health of the family in warmer weather, when every one is more or less addicted to the “ice water habit,” depends considerably on the manner in which the housewife buys ide and how the “ice water” is chilled. There is little doubt that water rendered cold by dropping into it chopped ice is very often harmful. The reason is sim If the ice hap- not absolutely pure—and ice is not contains innum- Fre_zing does not des- troy these germs and when the ice melts in water'they are pleasantly re- leased to go forward on their vicious careers! ‘The only scfe method is to chill water, not to ice it. ither distilled, or boiled water which has been al- lowed to cool is placed next the ice in bottles and served when chilled. One ingenious mother, realizing the great temptation of chipping ice and drepping it stily into the water on a warm day keeps a goodly supply of much chilled water on the sideboard al- ways This s her metho She boils water every morning, chills part of it as much as the refrigerator will per- mit—and pours some of it into a vacuum bottle, which is kept on the sideboard. The rest of the boiled wa- ter kept on ice. ‘But there is al= ways suflicient to keep the vacuum carafe filled, and even little Billy, rushing in breathlessly for a cold drink, doesn’t know the temptation of going’ to igerator and cooling himself rap th the aid of the ice pick. This scheme takes a little ex- tra trouble, but insurance that i it w a bit of health th the price. HANDY MATCH BOX. . If a small box is nailed to the wall Jjust above the gas stove the used matches may be easily thrown in one- half of it and the unused ones into the other, thus keeping the matches off the stovi HEALTH AND BEAUTY. The flesh on the ankles can be re- duced by exercise such as dancing or running. Bt the size of the ankles depends largely on the size of the bony structure which, of course, can- not be reduced. ‘When the ankles swell soak them in hot waier with a little witch hazel ded. After the soaking rub them with witch hazel. It is axiomatic that beauty is based on cleanliness, internally as well as externall In order to create and preserve internal cleanliness. nature employs a simple means, and that is water. One of the principle causes of constipation is lack of sufficient fluids, and it is an absolute fact that without sufficient water the bowels will not operate naturaily. An oily or greasy skin is due to the fact that certain glands are too active. This condition is often accompanied by enlarged pores. It often arises from and is-accentuated by an im- pacted colon, a torpid liver and indi- gestion. Anoily skin is often accom- panied by blackheads and a general scrubbing treatment will prove use- ful. Greasy creams should be avoid- ed. but horacic acid solutions and as- tringent washes should be substituted. For long tramps either in the moun- tains or country, your enjoyment will depend largely on the kind of shoes you wear. High laced shoes are best, for if the feet swell they can be slight- ly loosened. They should fit the foot perfectly, neither too tight nor too loose. Height of heel should depend on height of instep, but in every case let the heel be broad. All the gar- ments should be of lizghtweight ma- terfal and comfortably loose. A hat that shades the eyes is most desir- able. A soft green veil will soften the glare of the sun and take the place of colored glasses. be raised and lowered at will. CARE OF HOT WATER BAGS. A few precautions faken with a new hot water bag and continued through- out its life will greatly prolong its days of usefulness. To hegin with, buy the bag from a reliable dealer. Most bags are guaranteed, and new ones are refunded if there is any de- fect. These guarantees, of course, are not good if you treat the bag harshly. But as soon as you get a new bag home fill it with hot water, screw on the top and look it over carefully to see that there is no leak and no oth- er visible imperfection. If there is none and if the bag is of good qualty it is your own fault if you cannot tear up the guarantee as useless. Always fasten the stopper to the bag neatly with a piece of string, so that it cannot get mislaid or lost. ‘Hang the bag neck end down. Never put really boiling water into a hot water bag. Fill the bag not more than two- thirds full. Press out the steam before putting in the stopper. Have a flarnel bag with which to cover the rubber bag when it is in use. This bag should be made of WOMAN.IN LIFE AND IN THE KITCHEN | silk braids are to be found in It also can|ing. It is much prettier white cotton flannel or 5o that it can be casily FOR THIN CHEEMKS. To make thin cheeks plump rub skin food in_with the following smove- ments: To treat the right cheek place the thumb of the left hand just be- yond the corner of the mouth on the left cheek as a brace. Make rotary movements upward and outward, be- ginning at the corner of the mouth and making three diverging lines of manipulation over the cheek. With the right hand treat the left cheek. About six times over each cheek is sufficient. DICTATES OF FASHION. Any sleeve is right as long as it's not plain. pink or blue, washed, There are many smart-small sailor hats worn. The yoke has disappeared from skirt fashions. Everything must flare—coats, bas- ques and skirts, All colors of leather trimings are used on garments. One piece frocks have capes that hang to the waist. Natural colored pongee trimed with brown wash silk is an excellent com- biration for a child’s frock. Crepe de chine underwear is often finished with a narrow binding &f satin ribbon. With a white organdy dress is worn a jacket and sash ends of turquoise tafteta, trimmed with white taffeta embroidered in blue. Many new and narrow mohair and the shops, and among them are the new strips of leatherette that have the gloss of half shiny rubber. This comes in several widths, and is used for triming both suits and hats. WASHING RAG RUGS: “How can I wash my rag rugs and summer carpets?” asks a correspond- ent. Dissolve four ounces of good, white soap in the same amount of boiling water. When it becomes a , 2dd five ounces of liquid am- monia, two and one-half ounces of alcohol, the same amount of glycerin and two ounces of ether or chioro- form if you know how to handle it. If not, best leave the last ingredient out. Bottle and cork and put away to use on blankets, beavy rugs, car- pets, etc. Use in the proportion of a tea~ spoonful of the liquid to a paid of water. Waeh the carpet with wash- ing soap in the usual way, stretch out on a flat space and nail the corners so that the ru is taut to prevent shrinking. When dry, take up and shake well. REDUCE A WAISTLINE. The girl with a thick waistline must walk a great deal Walking breaks up the fatty deposits and a| slim, ~graceful figure is obtained. ‘What could be pleasanter than to get up a walking club composed of beauty seeking friends and all go out for a tramp every day? Good com- pany will make this beauty task easy, Bear in miad that in order to get the best results from tQis exercise the chest must be held up and out, the abdomen drawn in, the head held! erect and the shoulCer blades thrown back. Holding the body in this position, start out and walk two or three miles, taking deep, exhilarating breaths as you stroll along. The more fresh oir you get into your lungs the better developed your bust will be and the slimmer your waist. TO TUCK AND HEM. Garments which are to be tucked by hand aré must easier and more neatly done if the tucks are folded by the machine. Adjust the tucker to right size, then adjust the stitch and remove the thread from the needle, tucking just as if the thread were t_hereA In the hand sewing, follow the line of the needle pricks. Table lin- en may be marked in the same man- ner for hemming by hand. NEEDLEWORK NOTES. and ieft over pieces of X and velvet can be util- ized for bags and many beautiful combinations can be secured. Turkish towels are now being made with a deep border to be embroid- ered. The cross-stitch and the French knots are the two most popu- lar stitches used on Turkish towels. Cross-stitch is effectively applied to many handkerchiefs. A pretty gift can be made in quick time by using Dutch blue cotton or silk to croas- stitch a design in the cormer of a handkerchief. The needlewoman who finds her drawn thread work refusing to lie flat (even after she has shruni the linen before using) will find that if the thread she uses is put into boil- ing water and left until the water is cold there will be mno further trouble. This precaution also applies to hemstitchin — Another needlework wrinkle worth passing on is that of washing the hands in a weak solution of alum if they are inclined to perspire. They will not eoil or hinder the work, A FRINGED CENTERPIECE. A rather novel idea for a large centerpiece is to use instead of scal- lops a narrow lace insertion on the edee, and finish this with a plain fringe instead of the usual lace edg- than one would expect. The centerpiece should be larger than 28 inches, for if smaller a num- ber of little plaits would have to be made on the inner edge of the inser- tion to make it fit around the cen- terpiece. The lace should be a coarse Cluny not necessarily expensive for many of the imitations that are ma- chine made are quite pretty. A narrow fringe as plain as possi- ble is best to use; frequetly where the lace joins the materials and also where the lace and fringe meet, a line of colored stitching is used. HANDKERCHIEF FADS. That little square of cambrio is al- most losing its identity with its im- portance as a dress accessory. Now, irstead of being a handy object when a_cold in the head is insistent, or when summer heat brings the per- spiration to the fevered brow, the handkerchief is used to express the latest fad or to give a touch of col- lor to a somber frock. One may have striped sports hand- kerchiefs ‘in colors to match the striped skirt or blouse. They should peep frgm the pocket of the piajr part qf the sports costume.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR The Colchester Postmaster. Mr. Fditor: The strictures upon the postmaster of Coichester passed by the writer who signed himself Clean Poli- tics in your issue of Sept. 22 move the present writer to take up the defense of one who he believes has received scant justice at the hands of your cor- respondent. Like many another, he is eafe while he sticks to general statements; for one capnot refute charges that are vague and indetermi- nate. ‘He is, however, unfortunate in the choice of the one specific case he sees fit to mention. He asks “Where was the postmaster on the night in question?” Wherever he was, or.may have been, I am in a position to in- form Clean Politics that, although 30 days’ absence each yvear is allowed to postmasters, the one under fire has been absent but three days in three years. Possibly 2 still more interesting question is, Does a man in public pesi- tion lose his personal rights when he assumes office? “What was he doing in New Haven?’ An order issued by the fourth assistant postmgster gen- eral under date of June 21, 1916, and effective July 1, 1916, provides thRt all stock supplies for postoffices of the third and fourth class in New London county will be furnished upon requisi- tion drawn on the postmaster at New Haven, Conn. As a matter or fact, the postmaster of Colchester, when he was sought, after the robbery, and located in New Haven, was found with Postmaster Troup engaged in business connected with his office. It should have been very easy for Clean Politics to ascertain that Mr. J. J, Suilivan was not a delegate ‘o the convention which was then in session at New Haven. Furthermore, it is good to be in- formed that there were so much virtue and faithful discharge of dutles under other administrations, but residents of Colchiester need no very long memory to recall the activities of a postmastar who, on election day, spent the whole day gt the polls working for his party ticket. g BI-PARTISAN CLEAN POLITICS.

BILL THE SECOND. Norwich, Sept. 23, 1916, More Sinned Against Than Guilty. Mr. Editor: Will you please publish the encloged in justice to a poor little soul who has been sinned against more than she has been guilty. = Three years ago I became naturaily interested in the little twins who took the prize at the county fair. These twins were being cared for by a bright, attractive little girl in rather short dresses. She had golden hair, biue eyes and was secmingly modest and very respectful. It was Mary Baker, and she was 13 or 14 years cld. This respectful, gentle manner she showed me, with her trait of modesty, but a few hours before her death. Her false accusers aroused in her an imitative manner surprisingly low, originating through fearful environ- ment. Mary had left her home, as had her brothers and two older sisters, but Mary was at an age when she needed a mother's guidance, and her own mother was dead. The following year, when 15, she lived wirh the dentist’s family, Dr. Jones. The following year, when but 16, she became the unwillin victim of evil influence and was finally unknowingly trapped into the horrors of wkite slavery, which became un- bearable. the training school of Backus hospital. One of them, Nelly, is now at St. Luke's hospital. That speaks for itseif, although Mr. Hutchins spoke very highly of her, and said had he known who this unfortunate little Mary was he would have gone down to New Londoen and brought her up in his car, given her work and sheltered her at the hospital till they found her sister. She wouid then have been spared the wicked accusations and the scorn she must have met upon her return in New Londen which caused the final deed. Shortly before I was a witness to outrageous, cruel, false and wicked ac- cusations made against her character by-a man, after the courts had dis charged her, in an attempt to pro her older than she is to save and lighten the sentence of the fiends whe brought her down. She was sensitive over these falrc charges and almost her last words tc me were: “I will take all I deserv but that is more than I can bear.” As I have wealthy friends the head of the Mary Magdalene society of Philadelphia, I sought their interest when the little girl first triéd to end her life.
