He had'shown him- self to be a zreat man in the manu- facturinz line and he is now turninw “is knowledge and abjlity to the best of use in connection with the conduct of the war. He has however advanced some strangs notions such as the de- termined effort which he made in be- haif of his peace undertaking which cost so much and fell so flat. It was owing that that he considered that better confine himself to manu- facturing, and for much the same rea- ns there are those who feel much the same way at the .present time <bout his decision to engage in npli- ties. It is not therefore strange that so much opposition has heen aroused to is candidacy for United States send- tor from Mishizan, cven though he deciares that he is to enter the race for political honors from that state at the request of President Wilson. It s well understood’ that Mr. Ford is deeply interested in government con- tracts, and yet it is provided by a federal law that such contracts can- not be given to federal office holders. Whether this can be zotten around by the fact that he has the contracts be- fore he gets the office remains to be seen. It is quite evident; however, that his announcement has caused much opposition in democratie and repub- iican circles and perhaps the greatest surprise of all this is that Mr. Ford uid want to dip into politics at this in view of his total inexperi- Yet that may be the whole rea- ADITORIAL NOTES.

There are reasons to believe that it will not be long before the announce- ment is made that there aze a million American soldiers in Europe With Germany planning to move troops from Russia to the west thera is all the more need for the reestab- lishment of an eastern front. With the ‘plan to march American troops through Ireland there ought to be no-questionsin the minds of the Irish where Ameriea is standing. There is going to be a great hig pa- triotic service rendered this yvear by the youngsters, who give up {hei Fourth of July' fireworks to purchase thrift stamps, Those who are fined today for vid- lation of the automobile law and to- mortow proceed to indulge in ' the same violation and brag about ‘it de- serve to be taught a lesson. What losses Germany has been suf- fering as the result of the drives is pretty well shown by the announce- nient that it is going to send all of its troops in Russia to France. The mayor of Boaton wants to khow why the government does mot utilize 13 plants in that vicinity for build- ing barges and tugs.

For kitchen windows sash curtains are very desirable. Have them just the size of the lower sash, strung on picture wire and fastened to the lower sash at top: w is opened for airmg or eweepinz, or washing the sills or framework, the curtain is not in the way. Be sure to make the sash curtains of materials that can be washed and boiled. Wet umbrellas should not be closed and stacked in the dripper. Stand the umbrella handle downward, to allow the water to run off quickly, thus pre- venting the ribs from rotting. The umbrella should be opened a couple of inches to allow the water to escape without_wetting the handle. When nearly dry open to the full and this will stretch the covering and prevent eracking.

If uses an_electrically heated iron, this is espeeially easy, as it is unnecessary to get up to change irons. SPOOL TOYS. Did you ever try saving empty spools and when you are using differ- ent colored dyes dip the spools in and ! see what ecute building blocks they make for the small child at no ex- pense. LUNCHEON FAVORS. Cute favors for a luncheon are little hats made of silk or ribbon. The brims are old fashioned round pin pads and ‘the crowns small stuffed pin- cushions fastened to them. Make them to harmonize tiith the color scheme of the luncheon. trim with tiny ribbon roses, and put a row of colored pins around the edge. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. An excellent health rule for bright eves and a clear skin is to take the fuice of a lemon in a glass of water, with a dash of salt added. This acts direetly on the liver, which has ‘more to do with good looks than many im- agine. iArnica diluted with warm water, acts like magic in soething tired, swollen® feet, and a foot bath of this every other night is good. The best treatment for a sprain is hot water. It relieves the soreness and reduces. the inflammation. Ab- solute rest is necessary. After gath- ing the injured part with hot water it should be bandaged and kept damp with witch hazel. If the sprain is very bad this treatment may be used until the doctor arrives. Always keep a bottle of tincture of ammonia in the house to be used in case of bruises, cuts or wounds. Wet cloth with it and apply around the injured spot. It 1 be found to be cooling and sooth- ing. Froit that is beginning fo decay should never be eaten, because germe grow in the rotten parts, and if they =zet into our stomachs they are apt to make iis ill. Bananas are more nour- ishing than the juicy fruits, but they are harder to digest. They should® be perfectly ripe before they are eaten, and should be thoroughly chewed, or eaten with bread or crackers to make them easier for the stomach. To clear the skin drink plenty of water and less coffee: sleep in a well ventilated room with the windows raised at the bottom amd lowered at thme top. Take a hot bath daily and use a bath brush and pure soap. Take a heaning teaspoonful of phosphate of soda in a cun of hot water half an hour before breakfast for five days about once a month. WORDS ON WILLOW WARE. Fave you seen a table set with willow ware? If vou have vou know how attractive it can be. More peo- ple should realize the charm of, this willow ware. ¥or in using it it is possible to get a refined and artistic effect at the lowest nossible price. Tt is charmine used in an sll blue dining room with white painted wood- work and furniture. Or it might be used in a dining roomwith gray walls. blue hanginzs and furniture of mas hogany. or in a dining reom done in blue and tan. Tn"a reom with this celor scheme there was a golden tan wainscoting, a blue green and fan foliaze upver. a eream ceiling a blue rug and oak fur- niture. And in_an absolutely neutral room, blue and white china ean be used. Tou see there is quits a scope. Table runners. luncheon cloths, or dojlies are effective treatments to ac- company this china. The sideboard or the buffef may honsi a nieee of it, an additional bit of niain hlne nottery and some brass.

You cannot overestimate the possi- lities of mirrors in house decoration. They ereate an impression of spa- ciousness: thev reflect back chnice and unexpected hits nf oalor and they actually make a dark interior Jighter. 1t a sufficient numher of 'mirrors is used thev make the smallest room seem larger. In fact, if they are ®o a vanged that the whole room is re flected. the reom may even seem large and half the batile is wen.

It was a pretty apron hostess slippeq over her and fast- her before she van- ed into the tin: chenette to pre- pare a festive Sunday night supp when one examined it_clos as really quite simple. The that the v | terial was linen crash which, as most . | housekeepers know, is not very wide, only eighteen inches or so, in fact. It was cut so iong in front that it reached nearly down to the hem of the dress, while at the back it was athered into a two or, two and a half inch belt at the waist. In front it was gathered slightly into the belt, which was fastened 4t one side with a large button covered with the crash. For the neck opening a hor- izontal oval was cut larze enough to allow the apron fa be slipped over the head without disarranging the half. This, like the lower edge of the apron, was finished off with buttonholing in coarse mercerized cotton of Chinese biye. In the middle of the front was a bluebird design embroidered in the same kind of cotton. A smaller de- A smaller design in blue adorned the button. DETACHABLE POCKET. The object of the detachable pocket is that a woman may have a_safe place in which to earry her belonz- ings about her. Some of her garments are not alwa: equipped ' with these handy receptacles and she is often compelled to stow away money and valuables in places about her person which were not exactly designed for the purposes of a safety vault. The newly inventeq detachable pocket has fastening devices on it which make it possible to secure it on any garment and at any place, so that femininity may ‘always have a pocket. THRIFT H"‘iTS.

SHOES AND GLOVES. Women are learning to be careful of gloves these days. One may not piek Up a pair of white kid dress gloves for a song, and even the price of dry cleaning has gone up. The best way this year is to purchase sev- eral pajrs of realiy good gloves and make them give the best service by taking infinite care of them, repairing the least rip. instantly, by smoothing the gloves out flat and never rolling them into a wad, by protecting them from wet on rainy days and by hav- ing them cleaned befcre they get so soiled that hard rubbing is necessary. hoes also will receive estra care and attention this year. Every pair will be neatly treed while not in use, oil will be rubbed into the leather to keep it soft and pliable and shoes will be exchangeq for slippers the moment one comes into the house. The heavy laced sport shoes for rough weather wear will stand much hard usage, but dainty buttoned boots for formal wear ehould be carefully protected by rub- bers when pavements ate damp. A well cared for shoe will last longer and look better while it lasts than one that is treated without the respect footwear should have these days of high prices. WASHABLE WALLS. ‘Why should children prefer to write on immaculate walls rather than on Because, first, their Tet sim- | mothers caution them mot to do it, and. second, because the walls are whiter and the writing looks better on them than it does on paper. But the time has come when the mother need fear for the white nursery walls no longer. They can, indeed, be changed from a source of irritation to educational purposes by means of a finish which makes them washable. In other words, all pencil, crayon and pen marks may be washed away. Consequently, the wall surface is as good a place for drawing pictures er working examples as a blackboard. Although the finish is intended pri- marily for the walis of the nursery, it may be used in the Kitchen. living roem or other part of the house where children are wont to ry out their ar- simple ' tistie abllity on the walls.

One-quarter of the youns men called by lot from all the young men of those ages (which means a fair avér- age of the vouth of the country, of all classes) physically ynsound to an extent that means not only incapacity to be soldier but incapacity to be a healthy citizen. i ‘One-quarter of our youth handi- capped for the task of living a useful and successful life. At the same moment that we learn this disturbing fact we ajso receive an object Jesson as to its remedy. | " Immediately, if we are the shrewd, hard-headed, = clear-thinking péople that we like 1o think We are, we grasp the remedy. Immediately we umite to do the obvious thing that shali make our vounger boys stronger than thesé¢ older ones. Do we? do not. At least, not all of us do.” Some of us even oppose the use of the remedy, just as ignorant peo- ple, in time of pia t the saving ministrations of the sanitary squeds. 1 sat opposite a vouth of twenty two from a New England town, a few evenings ago, and listened while he talked about his work and play in th> r e s a s h d 3 border of the city where I live. He touched upon the matter of health in- cidentally, hardly aware that he Was doing so. At home he had always copsidered himself in fairly good cendition, he said. True, he caught cold prefty easily, and 'was subject, on the winter, to sore throat. And quite a few things to eat didn't agree with him— imagine a boy of twenty-two with incipient dyspepsia! And he had always been rather thid; his mother hated to-see him drafted, be- cause she feared he was not rebust enough to stand the strain. He mentioned these things as pass- ing comment in connection with the information that he had outgrown his uniform, having geined twenty-eight pounds during the five months be had been in the army. Also, hé said he could eat anything new, and he hadn’ had a cough, or a soré throat, or even a slight cold, this past winter. This youth's military service has al- ready given him perfect health, in ad- dition to training and diseipline that will be invaluable to him In the com. ing years. Alse, he has traveled guite widely. and is a broader-minded citi- zen at twenty-two than he Wwould have been at fifty if he had never left home. Where is our boasted American common-sense that some of us 4o not want to take the step that will give this boon of better health, better discipline to fit them for the problems of life, and greater breadth of view, to_aji our woung men? 2 Universal training would do it— physical and mental development through the school years and military training for a_year or so at the time when the boy has arrived at the prop- er age for it to do him thé most £0od. That such training will also prevent us from ever again being caught shamerully unprepared by a treacher- ous enemy is of vital importance, but it there should ever again be a war in ail the world and if, from new until Doomsday, the United States can happily remain at peace, it still would be a fairly important thingk to have made stronger and better men out of our boys.
