That idea might be worthy of seri- consideration if there was any de- lence to be pldeed upon the pos- service, As far as known it has le no differénce to the senders of night messages that they have been carried between eities by train in- Stemm B! being seps over the wires. {be a distinction made betwee Congressman | 4 | contributed largely | the epidemic of sneezing in the Ger- have apparently received the in delivery when the rail- have carried them as actually telegraphed. ers have been receiving the service for which they paid, al- though it can be appreciated that there has been a deception as to the manner of dolng it but the worst feature of the deception has been in the violation of the law, when it might have been possible to have secured permission to carry on that very ser- vice as a war measure had the gov- ernment been made acquainted with the situation. The suggestion that the postal ser- vice be resorted to to take the place of the night telegraph messages might carry greater weight if the postal ser- vice was what it ought to be, but there is little question but what it is because that service is what it is that much business is thrown daily to the telegraph companies. CUTTING ELECTRICITY AND GAS. There can be nothing surprising in the announcement which comes from the fuel administrator to the effect that there must be a radieal reduction In the quantity of coal consumed for be manufacture of electricity and gas for illuminating purposes. It has been evident for a long time that such 2 step might not only be made but that it should be taken on the part of communities where there is recognized as existing a much greater expendi- ture in electric lighting than is nec- essary. Last year efforts were made to eliminate the needless lights which are to be found on the brilliantly lighted highways and the dazzling sign covered buildings. Inasmuch as more lights call for the generation of more electricity it can be appreclated that a reduction in the number, par- ticularly where no harm will result, will serve to save the fuel which will be needed much more later on. Ad- ministrator Garfleld is fully justified in his statement that there should be only so much lighting in any city or town as is necessary to Insure fety. When that is exceeded it means waste and that is what needs to be e'iminated, : The same is likewise true of illu- minating and inasmuch as the neople have been urged to use gas for cooking purposes in order to save coal it is to be presumed that ti poses and that for ether it is gas or electricity, | e curtailment in the use of either| uld be made wherever possible and can be dome better now when an actual shortage s to loom up.

Being asleep at the throttle is just 1s dangerous as being nsleep at the switch, and it is seldom that a good excuse can be offered for either. Tt makes little difference who he is the fellow who attempts to pick up the reins of government in Russia to- day has some job on his hands. There is no good reason for think- ing that the internal conditions wiil dispose of Austria. It is still an ad- versary which needs constant and careful attention. TWhen the German war leaders haven't anything else to tell their ople they usually declare that they are ready to entertain peace propo- cals from the ememy. Now that the blame for siarting the great war has been placed upon Rus- sia by the German foreign secretary, it is much like fixing the responsibil- ity for a railroad wreck on a dead en- gineer. Some people think they are under- going great hardships because they are made to use substitutes but ovor in England a farmer was recently fined $230 for permitiing rats to de- stroy a half dozen bushels of wheat. At the state democratic convention the claim was made that 80 per cent. of the sppointments in thiy state in connection with the war were given to republicans.

The vogue for glove silk bloomers Is great. The colors worn match the dress with which they are to be worn as khaki when milady dons her motor togs and navy blue when she wears a evit of blue. .Pink lisie envelope chemises are in the market, sometimes glove and lace, or again entirely of self material HEALTH AND BEAUTY. If the invalid cannot take coffee try making rice coffee. To #nake this, rown a cupful of rice in the oven efully, without burning, and then ind it fine in a coffee mill. Put in n earthen jar ard pour a quart of co'd water over it. Let stand an hour, strain it, beat it and serve it with hot milk or with cream. Use great care in attempting to cure facia] eruptions by external treat- ment. If this becomes necessary, soak eruption for five minutes to soften skin. Then, after having sterilized a fine needle by dropping it into boiling water or in alcohol and lighting it to burn any impurities, open the spot and press gently, not hard, to extract secretion. A convalescing patient usually wants to sit up in bed but almost no prop- ping will keep the patient from slip- ping down from an upright position, to the patient's discomfort and the great annoyance of the attendant. A good way to prevent this slipping is to twist sheet, slip under the covers fasten it at each side of the bed.The convalescent can put feet against it and sit up with comfort to enjoy read- ing. This is a help in homes where there are invalids who cannot have the services of a nurse. Massage may do its bit toward af- fecting the contour of the face if one happens to be dissatisfied with one's birthright. If the cheeks are hoillow, rub them gently to increase the flesh and to make them round. If a double chin or superfluous flesh is the afic- tion, rub v to wear away the fat by friction. Never begin a mas- sage without first having washéd the face thoroughly with hot water, not only to remove all dust but so that the pores may be opened and made ready to recefve the unguent. In or- der that the finger may slide over the skin without pulling, and also that the tissues of the skin may be benefited, & lotion or cream should be used. HEALTH RULES FOR HOT WEATHER. Eat lightly and not toe much meat. Avoid excessive drinking of ice water. Be careful about the use of stimu- lating beverages. It is not true that a stimulating drink is always a cool- ing drink. Keep in the shade as much as pos- sible. If you are in the sun and feel the heat gripping you, seek a shady epot and rest immediately, There are two kinds of heat affection, heat exhaustion and heat stroke. In heat exhaustion. the person becomes pale and weak, showing al- most no pulse. The use of ice in these cases may prove fatal. Stimulants may be used. In case of heat stroke, the person becomes red in the face and has pounding pulse. In these cases the person to normal condition. lants should not be used. When a person is overcome with the heat, immediately treat him like a sick person. Call a physician or an am- bulance just as you would in case of any other sickness. Postpone all unnecessary labors us- ually performed in the middle of the day until late in the evening or early in the morning. Dress as_lightly as may be proper for the time ana place.

RIBBON USES. Ribbon is taking the piaces of many materials, and beautifuily, too. Maere are knitted ribbon hats, riobon plumes tand mow comes a sweater knitted of |paby yellow ribbon with delightfully tringed pockets and sash. DICTATES OF FASHION. Capes for sports wear, for evening wear, for street wear continue to be popular, for new models aze delightful with their many combinations. There are four things in fashion that are often discussed today—the severe uncollared neck line, the short sleeve, the cape back and the lack of chiffon blouses, The collarless dress is being shown in the very new dresses, like those that came out late last winter and early spring. Some, too, have the bandlike collar that extends down the front into the beit. The almost forgotten calico dress is back in remarkabie favor for housa| and porch frocks, Its new printings| are 100 lovely for &ny woman to resist. Tailored blouses of linen substitutes jare very attractive for sports and gen- eral wear this season, especially when accompanying skirts of fisured white sports satin. The cape coatee of plush, usually de- veloped in seal and nutria colored plushes comgined, is shown now by many shops and promises to be Vi |good for early fall wear, especially with cloth dresses and tailored suits. One of the dominant modes of the moment is the sleeveless fumper, d- | | signed to be worn with separate skirts | or costumes. The silk princess slip, in newer f; n, is again in demand.

By using this method they will not show as much as when done |by hand. The mending, furthermore, will prove permanent. ‘When underlaying and darning a sleeve, where you are apt to catch the under side of the sleeve, slip a piece of_ stiff glazed paper into the sleeve. . You can then work freely and feel sure that your needle will not catch through the paper. Why should you now cast away a blanket. a quilt or a comfortable that shows signs of wear? Here's a way to save even the most worn of them for further use. First wash the ar- ticle and mend the holes or baste strong pieces over them. Then meas- ure your old cover and buy covering enough for both sides—a bit of gay cretonne will transform the oldest blanket into a bright bedroom orna- ment.

Very few people think of making the | porch really pretty, and yet it can be made most attractive with just a very little expense. When you stop to | realize that it is the most lived in part | of the house during the summer | Imonths you will agree that it is a {shame to have the bare looking piazzas {so_frequently seen.

A cool, quiet | green and white is not only prettier, | but in much better taste. Khaki col- | ored ;awning is also popular, and has the advantage of not showing the dirt.

WATERPROOCF, Mothers who have treudble makinz their boys wear rubbers when the ground is wet should try water- bfl% e merks ltfil?:m of geuon for vegétables. Patriotic ousewives should anticipate this and be prepared. A wise woman will not simply make a mental inventory of €quipment and assuming that she has “everything but rubbers” perhaps, wait until the day before canning operations to assemble and “clean up” her outfit but she will begin at once with a careful list, and graduaily col- lect what will be needed. “Do it now.,” is a good precept to adopt, be- sinning today. ccially should jars be ordered well in advance. The local dealers are aided by knowing the needs of the community. Buy ag many as you can store, and several dozen extra, whether you have a garden or not. The ceses may be saved and later the fliled jars put away in them. 1f you secure the jars, you will not find it so difficult to get contents for them, and the prices offered are usually lower early in the season. If equipment must be bought, use care in making a choice considering stove space, amount of money ayail- able and ease in handling. An excellent plan is for several families to club together for equip- ment. using a schoolhouse, clubhouse oi‘ some other convenient common place. by applying a mixture of beeswax and mutton dripping along the seams and where the soles join the uppers. The wax and the drippings should be ap- plieg when in a liquid state. CONCERNING ' WOMEN. Miss Evangeline Bishop of Cleveland asserts she is the only woman in this country who has a war garden on land commandered from a soldier in the German army. The woman's committee of the coun- cil of national defense has adopted the same health standards for women in industry as those issued by the army ordnance department. The first ‘'women to enlist in the United States coast guard are Lucile and Genevieve Eaker of Brooklyn and the coast guard has asked the navy department for a special order per- mitting the enlistment of girls for clerical duties, CLEANING FILTERS, Permanganate of potash will cleanse dirty filters of all impurities. A so- lution should be passed through the as advantageous features especially when large quantities of material are to be canned in the shortest possible time. As a rule small quantities only are conveniently handled at one time indoors. Choose your kind of equip- ment and get ready now for a season of cold-pack canning.

In the event of a German victory he would be out in droves, jeering our defeat. He buys Liberty bonds, but the only rea- son he does it is to make us think he is not a rat. It is the particular duty and privilege of all loyal Amerl- cans of German breeding to help put him out of business. The I. W. W. Rat: Darker and thinner than his pro-German brother but of the same species. More active. Having been allowed to run wild he has exaggerated ideas of his own im- portance. His idea of Liberty is Li- cense. He squirms piteously when trapped, and he is being trapped in considerable numbers. The Foreign Agitator Rat: A fuzzy sort of rat. Trotzky is his ideal; Am- erican jdeals his favorits target. He comes to America only to sneer and to try to wreck. His strongest cha acteristic is a contempt for the true American. For the present his soap- box is in storage—until after the war. The Intellectual Rat: In this species the sexes are about equally divided. Of many nationalities, sometimes even American. At college they learned go much that they've never been good for anything since. They smile pity- ingly when anyone displays an emo- shiftless wanderer who wants neither to work nor to fight. Many such prisoners, both Germans and Austrians, were encountered at different points in Russia by the members of the Ameri- can Red Cross Mission returning from Rumania. They were never under guard, were usually *in small groups, and apparently had no employment or wish for employment. They were without varms and shabbily clad, and always declared emphatically that they had no desire to get back into the German army, nor even any wish to return to Germany ‘until after a gen- eral peace was declared. I? the prisoners showed any dis- position to organize or even to travel about in marauding bands, they would furnish a serlious problem, but under present conditions, they are merely a nuisance. At a small station’ north of Vol ogda, there was a group of about fifty prisoners idling on the station platform some asicep in the winter sun, some playing cards. others whittling little tovs and knick-knacks out of soft wood. The Associated Press correspondent talked with sev- eral of them. They were greatly sur- prised to hear that the United States had entered the war a year before, and several of them expressed still more surprise at being informed that Amer- ica was not zn aily of Germany. ‘They had been sent to this part of Russia nearly two vears before in a raflway construction gang, but had done no work for several weeks. They lived in frelght cars and got their food by hook or crook from the vil- legers. Some of them declared that they hagq not had 2 square meal for many days, and they aceepted with genuine eratitude three old Joaves of black bread and a few pleces of chocolate which the Americans were able to spare them. As an afterthought, one of the Americans brought out of them the remains of a large round Ameri- can cheese. Tt had been purchased in New York Citv and had accompan- fed the Mission from Vancouver to Yokahama, Moscow and Jassy, serv- ing throughout the Rumanian cam- palen, much of Internationalism, and are really. dangerous because clever enough to fool a lot of people. The Pacifist Rat: A rare specles. Willing to take everything and - give nothing. A product/of congenital and racial causes. Must be watched close- ly when it comes time to talk peacs, At the bottom of the list because he is the most pitiable; but not to be petted any more than the others, There are other rats than these, but for an example this will suffice. We must stop petting them. We must re- member our boys in France—mete out o them war-time treatment. DON'T PET A RAT: TRAP IT! German prisoners in the far north of Russia, but these had mostly broken up completelv since the revolution, ow- ing to-difficulties with the food supply. Tt war said that thousands of German prisoners in these northern camrs died of scurv~, which was also prevalent in many-of the far-Northern cillages and a2mong the refuzees. Prepare For Canning Now.
