It is an ambitious undertaking which has been launched by the American Red Cross society for the purpose of increasing interest in its work and of supplying additional means to carry on their great work in behalf of humani The aim and ambition is to secure one million members and they are going about it in a businesslike manner, assign ng a certain number to each section of the country.

HOLLAND’S PROTEST. The very action that was expected has taken place in the case of the Dutch steamer Bloomersdijk which was sunk by the U-53 off Nantucket lightship a weck ago. The Dutch government has sent a sharp note of inquiry to Berlin seeking an imme- diately explanation of the attack. The Dutch cannot believe but what the commander of the underwater boat exceeded his instructions in sinking a neutral vessel, but at the same time not help but feel that it was ult of the strong feeling in cer- tain German circles for tha resump- tion of the kind of warfare which zives consideration to no one and no Captain Rose of the U-53 was deter- mined to sink everything that he en- countered which carried the British flag, or everything afloat which was carryinz supplies to the allies, but when he sent the Bloomersdijk to the Lottom after forcing the crew to take to the small boats, he sunk a vessel which was not only flying the flag of Holland which was the flag under which it was registered, but he de- stroyed a vessel that was engaged in carrying supplies owned and consign- ed to the Dutch government. There are reasons therefore Holland should be showing concern over this affair. It has a right to trade with this country and to do so with- out molestation. Germany has no right to destroy its shipping under such circumstances and it will be in- teresting to note in the reply whether Germany maintains that its rights have not been exceeded. why RUMAINIA’S APPEAL. When the king of Rumania points out the position of Serbla and ap- peals to the allies that they do not al- low the affairs of that country, which has staked its all in this conflict to pass into the back of their minds, it makes a plea which is prompted by the existing conditions in the Bal- kans and one which must of neces- sity receive attention. The Teutons have been making de- termined efforts to crush that nation. Generals von Falkenhayn and vom i Mackensen have been so placed as to be the jaws which will grind that na- tlon into submission. ' It is even ap- parent that Rumania appreclates its plight now that its initial successes have been turned to defeats, but it is incumbent upon. the allies to see that they get the attention and assistance which they deserve. Rumania has re- ceived some help from Russia but nothing in comparison with what re- ports dndicated that they were enti- tled to expect, and thus far the offen- sive from Saloniki has not assumed such proportions-as to draw off the Bulgarian menace. Rumania bas looked for the support of the allies and it is entitled to it. It is not now regretting its decision to join the entente, for it is firmly con- vinced that that was the wise course. It may, however, appreciate that the delay in reaching that decision has brought its handicgps, but it cannot for that reason be abandoned. It is now with the allies and it remains for the allies to exert every effort to give the aid which it needs. OUR DOMESTIC TRADE. ‘While sight is not lost of the im- portance of foreign trade and the need of getting all that is possible in old as well as in new fields, it must be realized that there is even a more im- portant duty which needs to be ren- dered in maintaining and encourag- ing domestic trade. Tn this country tho yearly produc- tion of manufactured goods runs up to the handsome figure of $24,000,000,- 900, exclusive of the agricultural lines of production which amount to half as much again, making the domestic bus- iness total up to $36,000,000,000 or bet- ter. According to the census of the domestic manufactures of New York by the Merchants' Association it is shown that approximately a tenth of the manufactured products of the country are made in New York city or over two billion dollars tvorth, and that is of course but one of the many localities which are large producers. Thus when it is realized that our foreien trade amounting to $4,500,000,- 000 is but a small part of the domes- tic output, it must be appreciated that this latter business should get the greater consideration. It is this trade which needs protection against the cheaper Iabor of Europe. It is vitally connected with the sound prosperity of the nation. Industrial activity needs the stimulating effect ‘'of a pro- tective tariff and it is that for which the republican party stood in the past and where it stands at present. CLEVELAND DIDN'T C;USE WAR. The sound and sensible method which Charles E. Hughes told a heck- ler in Louisville that he would have used in averting such a catastrophe as that which occurred when the Lusitania was sunk has caused certain of the democratic press to view it with alarm and declare that it would have meant war. That is the dodge which is being used to meet the policy which stands for the upholding of American rights, but there is no ground for claiming that it would have meant war any more than there is for the assertion now that the election of Mr. Hughes would mean the ending of peace. Mr. Hughes is a man of peace. He has always stood for it and he does today and hopes to be able to con- tribute to a world peace. ile does not favor, however, the idea of sacrificing our known rights. The fact of the matter is that there would in all prob- ability have been no breaking of dip- lomatic relations with Germany by following such a course as he would have taken, for as Mr. Hughes took care to say at the beginning of his answer he would have put the state department in such hands that the nations of Burope would have known that it could not be played with. He would not have named a head of that department who would have told a foreign representa- tive that a note was meant only for home consumption. The fact is that an administration under Hughes would have followed thc same course that Cleveland did when he wrote his Venezuelan note. Ameri- can rights would have been upheld and foreign governments would have re- spected our position. Instead of that a weak, backboneless attitude was as- sumed and we have been suffering from it ever since. EDITORIAL NOTES. With the United States destroyers looking after the bases, it is up to the U-53 to show what good it is at sliding. The democrats appear to be hav- ing enough trouble without putting William J. Bryan on the platform this fall. Of course now that the world's se- ries is out of the way, there is noth- ing to keep attention off the Euro- pean Dbattlefields. The man on the corner says: Habit is forever choking judgment until judgment is black in the face and sasping for breath. Chicago now reports an odorless onion. That ought to make a strong appeal to their friends if not to the lovers of that vegetable. Thus far the hunting season has not collected as great a human toll as football, but it is to be remembered that theré is still plenty of time. If you expect to be made a voter this year, don't fail to get your ap- plication into the hands of the reg- istrars of voters before five this af- ternoon. Come to think about it, not very many of the democratic spellbinders are pointing out the accomplishments of the administration in reducing the cost of living. Germany justifies the acts of the submarine in its raid about the Nan- tucket lightship. But has it heard of the sinking of the neutral Dutch ship Bloomersdijk? - The best evidence that the Kings- tonian was not sunk by a submarine is that it is now safely in port. Grad- wvally the list of the U-53’s victims is dwindling but it is still large enough, Throughout the country there are being organized Republican _ clubs, Marching clubs and the Hughes League of Business Men. Isn't it about time that Norwich had something of the Kind? ‘When the socialists talk about fis- suing 20,000,000 leaflets ‘weekly during the remainder of the campaign, some- one ought to hand them that govern- ment warning on the need of checking paper waste. 5 SUGGESTIONS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE Use wash pillows whenever possible for living rooms and dens. They are more hygienic and more sanitary. A pleasant change in afternoon tea is a maraschino cherry and a_spoonful of the juice that comes with it. When_tinware Is new, rub it with lard and heat thoroughly in the oven. Tinware treated in this way will never rust. Porch chairs of wicker or reced can be cleaned with soapsuds and a scrub- bing brush and then can be shellack- ed. To stone raisins without stickiness, stem them, cover with boiling water for two minutes and then open the raisins. Tor orange marmalade, slice thin a dozen oranges, remove the seeds and cores and boil in a thick syrup of su- gar. Cold chicken left from the roast, cut into dicc mixed with cream dressing and covered with grated cheese is de- cious baked. Fer wiping oiled floors use an oiled cloth made by wringing a duster out of kerosene and hanging it outdoors till perfectly dry. Remove the yellow stains caused in bathtubs and basins by dripping of faucets by rubbing with pulverized chalk and ammonia. Tarts that will ple the chi can be made in gem tins. The should be filled witr strawberr: and covered with crossbars. In making gored dresses for girls, stitch a long strip of Tittle sclvage material down the bias skirt seam of the back and the skirt will not sag. THE SCHOOL LUNCH. The beginning of school presents an- other problem for the home cook to solve—how is the growing boy or girl, used to three substantial meals a day, to be properly fed at mid-day? If school is near enough and luncheon can be taken at home it must be com- posed of such viands as can be eaten, not hurriedly, but with briskness, and not productive of indigestion later. If the lunch must be carried it will have and of a fair v will not pall upon the palate. suggestions given th prove of value to moth ety, so it month will . to whom it is also suggested th in a supply of plain T waxed paper, papier mache and plates. lThe cost of these is 2, and they save the table linen wonderf g and S0 they require no w thrown into the lunch is eaten. the Even the home lunch table might be attractively set out with such articles, ana many extra minutes gained_for the home cook. Moist eatables such as baked ap- ples, pickles, cream cheese and the like, may be carried neatly in the lunch box if wrapped in two thicknesses of waxed paper. Hot cocoa or soup may be taken in a small thermos bottle holding a pint—Woman's World. ROSE JARS. Get a glass jar that has a_ cov- er that will close down tight. Fiil the jar with sweet scented rose petals and scatter through them wome ordinary table salt. Keep the jar closed tight, and when the petals have dried in- side the jar the scent of the roses will cling to them, so that every time the jar is opened a delicious fragrance will fill the air. To get a rich eastern odor that is deliciously delicate add a cin- namon stick or {wo, or a little powd- ered cinnamon. Add a few cloves and allspice. A few violets will add an ef- fective bit of colorinz. Sprinkle little alcohol over the whole thing to little salts of lavender brings out the perfume. HEALTH AND SBEAUTY. the leaves. A added to rose It will be found a good plan to pur- chase a new tooth brush every month, at least every six weel And then always buy the best that can be ob- tained, one guaranteed to. hold the bristles. It is very uncomfortable and aggravating to have the bristles come out 2nd it is also very dangerous. To save a few cents on the tooth brush is false economy; the better the brush, the better the results obtained. After the brush has been used, cleanse it thoroughly and allow it to dry. in the sun. * Powder puffs that are made of wool and cotton are probably much hetter for Milady’s toilet table than those made of down. The latter are wont to “moult” and become a splendid home for germs. In the wool and cotton puffs, the powder does not work itself to the interior of the puff and become stale, as in the down puffs. Always have the toilet table sup- plied with a quantity of dental floss. It is nmever necessary to use a tooth- pick, especially where the mouth and teeth are in a proper condition. The floss will remove all particles from the teeth, ana there is no danger in in- juring the gums and enamel. When out motoring the sharp wind against the face is apt to chap one’s lips and they become harsh and break. Cold cream, honey and almond cream and other remedies are beneficial, but when the lips are chapped very badly they will respond to nothing so readily as they will to camphor. As a prophy- Jactic camphor ice should be rubbed over the lips before goinz out. CARE OF YOUR EYES. If you *value vour eyes you shoud be most careful to observe the following rules: Always work with the light behind you coming over the leff shoulder, if possible, Weak eyes suffer a great deel if a full, strong light faces them. Don’t rub your eyes. Many persons have the habit of doing this on first waking in the morning. Instead, the eves should be bathed with cold or tepld water. If, owing to a cold, or weakness, they are inclined to be granulated in the morning, rub a little vaseline across the lids at night, being careful not to get any m the eyes. In the morning bathe them with warm milk and water. Reading or writing in the train is bad for eves. It is also a great mis- take to strain the eves by reading much when recovering from illness, Don’t put off wearing glasses. Some persons think it ages them to wear glasses and, therefore, refuse to have their eyes attended to. If they prefer to suffer that is their own lookout. ECONOMICAL BIT. ‘When lemonade is made Dplace the squeezed halves in a fair sized pitcher and pour boiling water on them. After this has stood for a few hours strain off the water into a elean pitcher. This can be mixed with the lemonade made from the juice and gives it a delicate and delicioys flavor of the - WOMAN IN LIFE AND IN THE KITCHEN to be appetizing as well as satisfying| It is hoped the| bring out the perfume and the color of| peel. Lemonade gains greatly by this mixing and is a doubly delightful beverage. DICTATES OF FASHION. Porcelain flowers appear as trimming on some close fitting bell shaped hats. Cashmere designs ana cashmere col- orings have been reproduced in shin- ing sequined bands for evening gowns. A brushed silk sweater is a novelty in" the sporting costume line. It re- sembles closely the brushed wool vari- ety, but is lighter welgnt. A good fashion rule to follow for the season is to choose 1830-1850 fash- ions for day wear, with early eighteenth century for evening. Skirts have ed an inch or two in length so the” coat or the coat- suits drops down to three-quarter length—the only length for the lons, clinging skirt. Paris buyers are bringing back trunk upon trunk filled with one- picce gowns. This of course, means the vogue of the separate cloak. Iimbroiderec tands — ¥0 and 12 inclies aeen adern many of the coats that have just arrived from Paris. They are newer than fur some of the buyers tell me—we had the fur bands last season, you know. If it haj the low waist line, slop- ing lower in the back than the front, they you may know a gown is new and very smart. The “baby” effect of the empire walst line is banned, buried, banished by modistes, who know what's what in fashion. Java brown, Russian green, green, beige, which belongs to the tan family, various shades of purple and wine are the popusar celors for suits and street dresses. Burgundy color pleases so many eyes that much of the new hosiery is tn that rich bottle APPLIQUE WORK. New frocks are not fo be outdone by the latest fad in the needlework world, applique work. Several charmingly sim- ple and demure gowns of dark blue serge attractively applied natural linen in the shape of leaves r These are fastened to the ma- eiral with blanket stitchery in the colors demanded by the design. Cre- | tonne motifs are applied to one gown. The use of applique is supplemented by roses or other flowers or ribbons. uch an arrangement 1s seen on a blue wool maypquisette, where the roses are quite fat and round and made of pink taffeta, while the leaves are ap- pligued to the material from green taffeta. BLACKING BROWN SHOES. The blacking you put on your brown shoes when they get too saabby look- ing will never show ir you do it this way. . Mix a b\ of ordinary ammonia h a half pint of cold water. Sponge vors boots with this. Next cover them with shoe ink. Let them dry thor- oughly. Then polish with good black shoe dressing. This keeps the black |from wearing off right away, but the boots must be polished frequently, of course. NEEDLEWORK NCTES. Many of the most expensive new night Tobes are sleeveless, with merely shoulder straps to hold them in place Why not appropriate the idea for using the bottoms of nighties whose tops have worn out? The bottoms are invariably in good condition. A dancing bag, deep enough to hold slippers, gloves and vanity outfit is ach_pink pussy willow _silk, up at the top on ceil biue ribbon, and lined with ceil blue satin. There {are two frills of lace, one near the ottom and one midway of the bag's | length, each frill put on under a tiny line of fur. Fine valenciennes insertion'is now used as a substitute for beading on children’s dresses. It is sewed in place at the top and bottom, and the ends left open and neatly overcast. Then' ribbon is carefully drawn be tween the material and the lace—the latter really forming a casing for the ribbon. This idea is also used on lingerie and negligees for older wo- men. A good gift for 2 linen shower would be lavender pads for the linen chest or closet. Two pieces of linen of a deep cream color, three by five inches, with one side embroidered. would make a good looking pad. A btorder design in lavender and green, done in cross- stitching, would be sufficient decora- tion. A lavender flower in satin stitch embroidery or in cross-stitch placed in the centre of the pad would also be attractlve. After the embroidery is finished the two pieces of linen are sewed together on three sides, turned and filled with lavender. The opening is overhanded together and the pad js ready to place among the linens. BABY’S SLEEP AND REST. The baby should sleep alone in its own crib, protected from fiies. Remove all clothing at bedtime and replace by clean, comfortable night clothes. If the baby cries when 1t should be asleep, it is either sick, overfed, hun- gry or uncomfortable. Constant jumping or jarring of the baby &5 likely to hurt fts nerves and upset its digestion. A very young baby during the first three months of its life must have from sixteen to twenty hours’ sleep out of the twenty-four. Never rafk the baby, use pacifiers or comforters to put the baby to sleep. Never let a baby suck a nipple unless he is getting food through it at the | proper feeding time. Never give a baby or children food purchased from pusHcarts, hokey- pokey, ice cream wagons, etc. Give only the simplest prescribed foods. See that the bedding, diaper .and clothing are clean, smooth and un- wrinkled: the room should be dark- ened while the baby sleep, kept quiet and well ventilated. The windows should always be opened at the top at least six inches; in summer time wide open. HOW TO REHEAT MEAT. Meat must only be reheated, not cooked. TUse good gravy or stock, and sea- son well. It is necessary to allow the meat to soak in the gravy or stock before re- heating. Rissoles should be molst inside, therefore the addition of gravy or sauce is necessary. All vegetables added should be coqked beforehand. , . —— CONCERNING WOMEN. Rather than take a civil service ex- amination, Mrs, F. H.
