Attent is naturally centered at this e about the reply which has been made by Germany to the note of inquiry forwarded by President Wil- son. Th communication, even in its unofficial form, makes it evident that the war situation is such that the Teutons are fast being brought to the knees but it is not o be sup- posed that there will be any accept- ance of the proposition until after the offcial document has been re- ceived and then not until it has heen miven the carefullest scrutiny from apparently endeavoring 1l it can and in reply it declares that its itself presiden to save the acceptance of his terms means that t agrees to abide by them and that he negotiations to which reference was previously made concerns the de- ding the application of the for a commissson to ar- he evacuation of occupied territory it apparently intended by German: to cemply with the declara- tion' that there can be no armistice imtil such evacuation has taken place, and while an effort is made to explain 1at the peace offer is made in be- half of the imperial German govern- ment and the rman people, it is not to ‘be forgotten that we have declared that there could be no dealings with he German government because it has been found untrustworthy. It Germany is allowed to retire it must be recognized that its fighting machine will still be intact and there- fore o menace. There is a danser in stoppinz the fighting now unless it going to mean a permanent peace. There can be no chance given for the m of a German victory and for that reason an unconditional surren- der is de e. PRESSING THE ADVANTAGE.

They point out the superiority of the allled forces and make it plaln that inasmuch as the imposes b!m:?r Teutons were unable to defend what they considered im- pregnakle lines they will no greater success in the [utu'e They are fasty being driven back to Gee THE OTRANTO'S LOSS. In connection with the loss of the British transport Otranto carfying American troops to England it is a strange coincidence that the collision between the vessels should have taken place at almost the identical spot where a German U-boat sent to the bottom the British transport Tus- cania, the only two vessels transport- ing troops eastward that have been sunk, and that the rescued and the drowned should have been landed at nearly the same points in each in- stance. While there cannot help being deep regret at the large loss of life which occurred in each instance, in spite of ~the valiant efforts which were. made to rescue the helpless men, it cannot be overlooked that the transpértation work has been carried on with won- derful success. That of course does not relieve the distress occasioned by the losses but it indicates the tre- mendous amount of work that has been involved in getting nearly two million men across the water against the effofts of the elements and the determination of the enemy subma- rines to send these transports to the bottom. That there is always an element of danger in sending transports in con- voys has been shown by the aceldents which have occurred to the freight as well as the troop ships. There is always a hazard regardless of the ac- tivity of the U-boat and it was that very hazard which caused the loss of the Otranto. During a bard storm with foggy conditions thc two ves- sels came together at a most unfor- tunate locality and there was gooa fortune to a certain exten: that there was not a greater loss of” life. THE DUTY OF THE PEOPLE. There remain but a very few more days, six including the present, in which to raise the remainder of the fourth Liberty loan. It must be raised for there can be no such thing as failure. We must respond to the financial needs of the country and it is most unfortunate that a deeper recognition of this has not been shown during the first two weeks of the loan. How puny and unresponsive appear to be the efforts which have been made right here at home in compari- son with thoese which have been put forth by the soldiers in the field and the sailors on the deep! We applaud and commend their magnificent achievements. We think what mas- terly strokes they ‘have dellvared against the enemy, but wien we are isked ‘o lend, not (o give, we halk ind fa.l to cive the suppor’ which we cught ta he only 20 anxious to pro- vide. This 2aar; vaisas the question as to how we would have responded had we heen ordered to go forward and e ihe enemy trenches, to even ad- ance and relcase that American bat- talion which had been hemmed in by > enemy for five days. If the same pirit had been shown by the Amer- ican troops in France that is being displayed by the American people in raising the Liberty loan it can be safely said that the stories which have been received would never have been written. And yet we have failed to appreciate the examples in sacrifice which our fighting forces have set for us. The week remains, however, in which the people of the United States can redeem themselves and in this connection they should fully under- stand that it is their duty as well as tlheir privilege to see that the loan soes over the top. FIENDISH CRIMES. No more dastardly acts have been committed during the whole perfod of tuthless warfare than were those during the past week when the com- manders of two U-boats not only suc- ceeded in sinking the American Ti- conderoga and the British mail steamer Leinster but they pafd no respect whatever to the lives of those oard the ships. In the sinking of the ships it is of course possible for them to cfaim that they have succeeded in accom- plishing some military advantags for they have thereby lessened the num- ber of vessels in the service of the allies, but there was not the least iota of an excuse for the taking of life in the way .which they did. It was nothing but plain unadulterated mur- der in which children and women fig- ured extensively in the case of the mail steamer. Sinkirg the ships without warn- ing and without giving the human beings aboard the ves- sels a chance to get away was in keeping with the policy which the Huns have pursued for a long time Little else could be expected but cer tainly there was no justification for such a wholesale massacre as that which took place in the Irish sea. Even the Turks could have done noth- ing more horrible there or in the case of the Ticonderoga when those in ihe lifeboats were shelled and the at- tempt was made to sink the small boat filled with next to helpless humanity by submerging the U-boat. These are all things which are not going to be forgotten today, tomorrow the table wi the terms of peace are going to set down in black and white, Germany creating a rame for itself which it will never be able to remove. e EDITCRIAL NOTES. Of course Germany is snxious to arrange a Brest-Litovsk treaty with the ailied nations. The enemy is not responsibls for ali the losses at sea but he Is already credited with too many of them. The Germans must realize that once General Foch sef the jaws of his pincers working it is no easy task to get free from them. Can it be possihis that the people of this country want our armies to face a disaster before they are ready to turn their pockzis inside out? The man on the corner says: Ths great worry among the young ladies today is that it isn't getting coldefast enough to wear low neck dresses. From the way in waich the Ticon- deroga was treated it is going to be mighty hard to deal out justice to Germany and temper it with mercy. As the end draws near the Huns and Turks continue in their despera- tion to pile up more trouble for them« selves without getting any temporary benefit therefrom. The success of the armies on the western front, in the Balkans and Turkey should not mean any letting up in the sacrifices which those at home are making. German submarine commanders are no more satisfied today to sink ships without sheiling lifeboats and taking ives than they were at the beginning of their ruthlessness. Whether it is true that General Ludendorft has relinquished control of the Teuton armies, there is plenty of evident that General Despair Is get- ting a greater grip upon them. The kaiser will never forgive him- self for having reached the decision that the lightning trained Yankees could not fight, but he never ought to have a chance to say that they would not lend. Think of the employes of a torpedo factory who had been given an in- crease in pay while receiving $40 a week striking because they were not awarded more! That's the patriotism that pleases Germany. That German prisoner who, while on his way to the cages hailed an American Y. M. C. A. officer, calling him by name and telling nim he had often waited on him at a Philadelphia hotel will probably be asking for his or around | WOMAN IN LIFE AND IN THE KITCHEN SUGGESTIONS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE Carefully ironing with a warm flat- iron a knitted sweater on the wrong side will take out all creases and make a better appearing sweater. Any cooking vessel can be cleaned in half the time if it is first steamed. Fill it with water, put the lid on and stand it where the water will get hot. An omelet pan should be used only for omelet. Never scratch it in any way. If any pieces of egg have stuck to it, put in a tiny piece of dripping, allow pan to get hot over fire and the pieces will then come off easily. Many housewives have bemoaned the fact that their tarts ang pies do not have the delicious brown desired. Al- ways keep in your cupboard a small pastry brush and brush your tarts and pies over with milk just before putting them in the oven. Dusters can easily be made by soak- ing squares -of old flannel in paraffin oil over night and wringing them out tightly. They should be washed in lukewarm water. They will gather up all dust and leave a nice polish on the furniture and floors. A great saving' in material is to make petticoats with buttoned on ruf- fles, since the top usually outwears several ruffles. A Coal Saver: Dissolve washing soda in boiling water—one pound of soda to one gallon of water—and pour this over the coal. Then dry it and the coal will burn slowly and last longer. Prolong the use of your rubber heels by having the shoemaker reverse them when the heels are run down on one side. This costs less than a new pair and gives almost as good service, PRESERVE IN BRINE. tireen peppers and celery can be pre- served for future use by brining. If properly done, peppers so prepared can be used as substitute for fresh peppers in pickles or salads, or after freshening in water can be used for stuffed pep- per. Properly prepared, they can hardly be told from fresh peppers. The method of brining is as follows: Remove the stems and seed and pack nose down into a watertight, non- metallis receptacle, such as a keg, bar- rel, crock or glass fruit jar. Cover with a brine made by adding two pounds of salt fo each gallon of water. If a keg, barrel or crock is used, sus pend a wooden cover in the brine, so that it will keep the peppers well be- low the surface. If the cover is placed on the peppers and weighted without suspension it will crush the peppers ond make them lose their shape. Add more sait to the cover until no more will dissolve. If put into fruit jars or other containers that can be sealed, no more salt need be added. In this case allow stand for three or four days to allow gas to escape, then fill perfectly full with brine and seal tight. Kegs or barrels that have a good head can be filled full with peppers and brine and headed up. Fresh peppers can be added from time to time as they mature. Before use freshen in water to remove salt and then use iike fresh peppers. Celery can be preserved in the,same manner, and after freshening is excel- lent for soups, creamed celery and for flavoring purposes. TO BREAK A JAR. To break a glass jar evenly, soak a cord in turpentine and tie it around the jar where you wish to have it broken. Fill glass With cold w@er up to the string and set fire to ;ne string. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. The busiest housewife need never be ashamed of her hands if she will re- member a few simple precautions. Do not use dish water or washing water ecalding hot. Have as warm as can be comfortably borne. And do not use strong, coarse soaps. A little ob- servation will show which soaps Jjure the hands and which do not. Never let soapy water dry on the hands. Rinse them thoroughly a wipe dry. It will be worth the trouble) A plain, pure white soap is much better for all toilet purposes than the most expensive scented or medicated soap on the market. And never neglect to rinse it off and wipe thoroughly. Fruits should be served in some form to children at least once a day. Fruit Jjuices and the pulp of cooked fruit, baked apples and pears and stewed prunes are safest. Whether the skins should be given d?p(‘nds partly on the age and health of the child and partly on the way the fruit is prepared. If the skins are very tender they are not likely to cau: trouble, except with very young children. When apples and pears are baked the sKins can be made tender by frequent basting. in- HABITS OF LIVING. To insure good health train children to acquire good habits of 1i; Hab- its are acquired by steady, daily prac- tice by daily routine. The following is a typical program. Read it. Have each child make a copy to memorize and to post on the wall of his room at home. Make the daily routine part of the instruction in hy- giene: Rise promptly when awake. Thiow the bed clothes over the foot of the bed. Take breathing and setting up exer- cises appropriate to the grade. Wash, hot water, soap and brush on face, neck, hands and Clean finger nails. Clean the teeth. , Brush and the whole mouth and mouth. Drink a ss of water. Dress with inspection of clothes as to cleanliness. At breakfast eat slowly and masti- cate well. Prepare for school. clothes clean and in order. Observe regulations as to entering school. Care for outer clothing, attention to order of desk and prepare for “morn- ing inspection. hand chest. guras the Books and THE APRON FRONT. When making aprons save a piece of the goods about 16 inches square. Hem all sides. Make two buttonholes, one on each corner of the top. Sew two buttons on belt of apron about 16 inch- es apart. When you are doing dirty work button the square on belt. Saves apron and washing. Can be made of shelf oil cloth, then all you do is to cut buttonholes. DICTATES OF FASHION. 4 Shoes are more pointed than usual. Skirts are much longer and more graceful. Smocks are no longer of tn2 simple peasant type. Monkey fur is fashionable for both frocks and wraps, Heavy Japanese crepe can le used for the heavier smocks. Making clothes at home is often the best form of economy. The large hats now worn have wide brims and big, iow crowns. Paris makers age emphasizing the long suit jacket with slender hips. A child's hat may be small, gray and faced with dull green angora. Knitted dresses of Shefland ‘wool have trimmings of fiber silk jersey. A cloak of black brocaded satin nas a large collar of monkey fur. Slip-ons made of jersey cloth are taking the place of mény a sweater. A dotted apd frilled collar with cufis to match is charming on a gown of serge. AMBER BLOUSES. Flesh pink chiffons and georgettd blouses are being worn so universaily that women of exclusive taste have turned to another tint, and that tint seems to be amber—not Vellow and rot tan, but the indescribable golden shade produced by sunlight shining through clear amber. A simpls tuck- ed batiste blouse becomes touched by the magic wand of amber, an exclusive model worth several dollars. Amber chiffon blouses cost still more, ad amber organdy trimmed with filet mce is exceedingly distinguished in pric HARDWOOD FLOORS. Hardwood floors should first be swept with a soft brush, then wiped with a long handled dust mop. If the. are any spots on the floor, rub wit a flannel cloth with a little turpentine on it. If water is spilled on the floor it should be wiped up at onc If any liquid spilled on a wax flooor is al- lowed to dry it will prodace a stain which can only be removed by hard scrubbing. DECORATED TRAY. The dainty lady was passing sand- wiches to the guests who had come in to spend a social hour with her late one afternoon. The sandwiches themselves were the thin, @ things which she loved to serve. and they were piled neatly upon a fla: tray, woven of pine needies. But what her guests noticed first, and ex- claimed over with most delight, was the little bunch of flowers tied to the curving handle of the tray. MISCELLANEOUS NOTES. The best way to mend iiren is to stretch it smoothly over an embroid- ery frame. A novel way of mending a woolen or silk dress in which a round hole has been torn and where only a patch could remedy matters is the follow- ing The frayed portions around ihe tear should be carefully smoothed and a piece of the material moistencd with very thin mucilage placed under the hole. A heavy weight should he put upon it until it is dry, when it i1s only 'possible to discover the mended place by careful observation. Warm, new, sleeveless sweatars can be made out of old, discarded ones by ripping carefully and knitting yarn double. The yarn from two or taree different color sweaters may ve used in making one. After sweater is com- pleted, wash and dye your favorite color. WITHOUT SUGAR: Homemade fruit juic gar and may be used du ter months in a variety of ways, ac- cording to specialists of the United States department of agricuiture. (ne important use fof fruit juices s in making of jellies at a iime of year en sugar or its substitutes may be re plentiful and when more convenient to do the work. In thi way freshly made jellies may he wvailable all through the winter. Fruit juice may of be pressei out fruit by means of a cider s cial fruit press or other impr ses: then heated in an a ttle up to 110 degrees enheil. The fruit juice may then be poured into ordinary hot jars, hot bottles or tin cans and handled by the same ai- rections as those for canning of fruit itself. If poured into mizcellaneous bottles it is suggested th the fr juice be sterilized as follows: Make a cotton stopper and into the neck of the bott! duri the sterilization hottles in hoiling hot water up to the neck of the bottle. sterilize ‘the fru juice for forty minutes at a (Pmnerd~ prY proo ture of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Re- move the product, press cork in top over cotton stopper immediataly. It the cork fits well no paraffin need be used. If a poor cork it may re nec- essary to dip the cork in a melter so- lution of wax or paraffin. SAVE OILED PAPER. Save all the oiled paper that comes wrapped about bread or in cake and cracker boxes. When you bake pota- toes cut off the ends of eacn potaro and wrap them in oiled paper. Pin the paper over carefully. It a pleasure fo note how much o s on the skins. They will be thin and soft and there is no waste. THE LEVER PRINCIPLE. In laying carpets and rug: furniture may be raised, ing ease, by the use of a bel ~la. or something similar: _a broom handie will answer for lightweight articles. Place one end of t-ve s‘ax the furniture: pt some solid obisect under that end. Then press doya on the other end. CONCERNING WOMEN. Both Queen Alexandria and Queen Mary of England are members of the Order of the Garter, but up to the present time there is no instance re- corded in modern history woman subject s been sim ored. All the girls \\'I‘O live on the Island of Rhodes are s d mariners, and are, in addition, excellent divers. The 11,000 and more women work- ers in the mun m plants at Bridge- por Conn., will vote with the men in an industrial election to he held in that city. Women will be cmployed in the Car- ney’s Point plant of the DuPont Pow- der company. It is proposed to employ at first 200 women, who will he placed in the cutting houses, where the work is light. As a result of work done by agents of the home economics bureau of the department of agriculture, thousands of southern women are now practical- ly successful farmers in many of the southern states.

Hippocrates refers to an_ epidemic in 412 B. C. which is regarded by many to have been influenza. Every cen- tury has had its attacks. Beginning with 1831, this country has had five epidemics, the last in 1889-90. There is no occasion for panic—in- fluenza itself has a very low percent- age of fatalities—not over one death out of every four hundred cases, ac- cording to the N. C. Board of Health. The chief danger lies in.complications arising, attacking principally. patients in a run down condition—those who don’t go to bed soon enough, or those who get up too early. THE SYMPTOMS Grippe, or influenza as it is now lca]‘ed, usually begins with a chill fol- lowed by aching, <tverishness and sometimes nausea and dizziness, and a general feeling of weakness and de- pression. The temperature is from 1100 to 104, and the fever usually lasts from three to five days. The germs atack the mucous mewhrane or lininz of the air passages—nose, throat and bronciial tubes—there 15 usuany hard cough, especially bad at night, often times a sore throat or tonsilitis, and frequently all the appearances of a severe head cold. THE TREATMENT Go to bed at the first symptoms, not only for your own sake but to avoid spreading the disease to others—take a purgative, eat plenty of nourishing food, remain perfectly quiet and don't worry. Quinine, aspirin or Dover's Powder, ete, may be administered by the physician’s directions to relieve the aching. But there is no cure or specific for influenza—the disease must run its course, but Nature will throw off the attack if only you keep up your strength. lies in the complications which may arise.

EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS In order to stimulate the lining of the air passages to throw off the grippe germs, to aid in loosening the phlegm and keeping the air passages open, thus making the breathing easier, Vick's Vapo-Rub will be found effective.
