None, barring possibly the mem- Eoes of the railroad brotherhoods. will be surprised at the action of President Wilson in signing the rail- road bill and making it a law in time 0 take care of the raflroad situation s the government lets go its control and turns the lines back to the own- To have listencd to the appeals oing of the bill would have iy meant a response to o small part of the people and disregarding the interests of the much greater number. Fearful of their own inter- este the raiiread men were entitled to| make such an appeal as they did but| they were not justified in lhll\lflnp:i that the president was going to con- tinue to advance their position to the s for t sim, detriment of others. The signinz of the bill indicates that President Wilson s convinced | that the bill should become law, that taers are provisions therein for deal- ing with the railroad empioyes in a satisfactory manner. that is a man- mer that will de justice not only to them but to the roads and to the public, and he wisely takes the op-| portunity to urge the railroad men to early action in order to take advan- fage of them. It is significant in ¥iew of the appeal to the president from the decision of Director General Hines in the recent wage dispute that President Wilson should point out to the brotherhoods that he regards the law appropriate in the interest of the public and alse in the interest of the railroad emploves as a class.

The call for narrow leather belts, which for some time has been the feature of the novelty leather goods business, continues to grow as vogue for them spreads 3 and south. For quite a while the out of town stores did not play these arti- cles as strongly as they misht have, but now this situation has changed. In a great many instances the belts are apparently worn for no other rea- son than that other women and girls are wearing them, but that fact 1g not causing any worry to the concerns which make the belts, Like many other fads, they were started with a particular end in view, but.quickly outgrew the original jdea. Even stout women are wearing them, despite the axiom that peopie “with hips” should do nothing to accentuate their waist- lines. NEW NECKLACES. The makers of necklaces have evi- dently set out to prowe that anything can be used. Silk c and fringe, crocheted medallions, painted wooden beads and plaster medallions, metals in green and gold, dull silver and plat- inum effects. leather thengs, carved i nd zalilith, beads of crystal and enamel—everything is grist for the necklace mill. Of course, you've seen the chains of small beads woven on looms in fasei- | nating tapistry effects. But do you knew about those {hat hoast scented medallions? HATS. 5 Advance spring models from Paris show that straw hats are returning to favor. Both rough and smooth finish- ed straws are used and are rhade wita a shiny lustrous finish. FUR STOLES. Stoles, while presented in 2 great diversity of styles, evince a decided inclination to increase in size and im- portance. NEEDLEWORK NOTES. When crosstitching long lines in one color work the first half to each cross all the way along, then return. When you rip an old garment, first cut a few stitches with the scissors, then pin the material to your knoe and rip with a sharp knaife, A pair of lace curtams that ara getting vellow can be sewed together down the middle edges, and place the pretty bedspread. Perhaps tbe easiest way 'o_finish off a round center piece is to bind it with {ape to match the material. or in color to match a tome in the emn- broidery. These bound center pivees are very effective. Heavy chain stitching of floss or chenille is an effective trimminz used on both dresses and blouses of chiffon This trimming is almost always in matching color to the material employed. EMBROIDERED LINEN BED- SPREADS. There has been a reaction from ex- tremely elaborate furnishings for the boudo'r. Gorgeous bedspreads of all- over Italian fijet lined with shimmer- ing satin, chaise longue pillows of valenciennes lace and silk, and the Jike, have been rather overdone by the army of the newly. rich which has sprung up during the days of big war contracts. refinement are now furnishing. their boudoirs less ostentatiously and sheer handkerchief linen, embroidered by hand and put together with narrow Bands of real filet or crochet lace, is considered the most distinguished thing for bedcovers, dresser covers ang chaise, longue cushions. These beautifuliy embroidered linens are placed over slip covers of silk in deli- cate, pale shades and a lovely sum- mer bedroom is being designed for a young matron, the room to be all in faint green, gray, and misty white. The walls are gray, with garlands of gray ang pale green leaves along the cornice. The window draperies are of silver ‘green satin and the white net. The turniture is pale gray enameled wood, some of the chairs having cushioned seats of green ang silver brocade. And all the covers, for bed, | dresser, chaise longue and so on, are of cobwebby fine handkerchief linem, embrofdered by hand in white and edgeq narrowly with white filet. RAISIN BREAD FOR TEA HOUR Semething a bit more toothsome than boxed crackers for serving with | afternoon tea is raisin bread siiced thin as a wafer and .buttered lightly. It is more hearty than crackers, tos, ang provides a tasie for sweets—if you have no cake. to serve with the tea. Raisin bread can be made very easily, and if wrapped in oiled pa- per will keep fresh for a week. It is| a very good thing te have on hand Wwhen guests drop in unexpectedly, and there is no time to bake biscuits or senq out and get tea cakes. Put three cups of fiour in a bowl, add a pinch of salt, two tablespoons of sugar and four teaspoons ot baking powder. Stir in a cup of raisins, blend- ing them well with the flour and other dry ingredients. Beat in an egg well, pour over it a cup and a Ralf of milk, and add to the mixture. Lastly, add two tablespoons of melted shortening. i Pour into a buttered loaf pan, or inte twe smaller loaf pans, and bake in a slow oven for 40 minutes.

Of the 262,620 persons employed by the telephone companies in the United States in 1917, 17,119 or more than 65 percent were women. The City of Winnipeg, Canada, has decided that married women shall no longer be employed in municipal po- sitions, except in exceptional eases. With the exception of Oxford and Cambridge, all of the British univer- sities have opened their medical de- grees to women. Some of the ‘trades in which British women are being trained are bootmak- ing, burling and mending, domestic work, blouse and shirtwaist making, dressmaking, towel weaving, etc. Nurses in Aurora, Tli, are talking of forming a union and demanding stx hours sleep and eight hours recreation. $5 a day, $6 for contagious diseases Women of taste and| grip seems to have left them in a weakened, run-down condition which bangs on.

RECIPES. Corn Muffins. — To one egz, well beaten, add one-fourth cupfui of sugar and beat again. Use two table- spoonfuls melted shortening (or three if Iked very short), one-half teaspoon- ful of salt, one cupful of milk, three- fourths cupful of granulated Indian fmeal, one and a quarter cupfuls of flour, two teaspoonfuls baking powder {an? “hree-fourths cupful of floured | berries. Cinnamon Buns—To make cinna- jmon buns put one pound flour into a pan, make a hole in the center, into which pour one tablespoonful of veast and one cupful of milk slightly warm- ed and flavered with a little cinnamon. Mix these together with a little of the flour and leave it near the fire to rise. Dissolve six ounces butter and beat up four eggs; add this to the sponge, knead all together. The dough must be again allowed to rise. When it has risen well in about an hour’s time put smail balls of this mixture on a well greased oven tin two or three inches apart. This dough, being light, will fall into required shape. Sprinkle loAf sugar and cinnamen on top. Bake in a moderate oven. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Spiritism, Adventism and Unbeliev- | ors. . Mr. Editor: It may be imprudent for one at the present time to intrude on the triangular discussion that is now invoking public attention on the above topics, so, at the start, we disclaim any desire to add another side to the diagram, but rather in the absence of any higher authority, to take the role of an umpire and cut out seme faise throws and hits and supposed home runs. In simpie | phrase, to straighten out some kinks in the game as we see it. A new and attractive imterest has been added by a revéteng teacher, in throwing out a challenge and offering a prize of $100—for one text out of 1700 to prove the immortality of the| soul from the Bible—but we are mot proposing to compete for the prize.| Tihe profferer of the premium may have examined severally and critical- ly the 1700 ayailable texts—quite a task—and knows that he has a sure thing—but we have not. Or it may be that the number given is a mis- print. Young's Analytical Concord- ance of the Bible, which is reckoned very full—quite less than 500 texts in which the word Soul is used, by is described as a distinct component rive the word from four origimals in the Hebrew and Greek—varying in meaning. These 500 or less will be | sufficient for our purpose and in the| majority of these instances the soul} is deseribed as a district component part_of man's being; ng life to the body, and able to live and exist apart from the body. David, the Psalmist, speaks more than 100 times of his soul as a con- scious part of his being—and a large| number of the other texts speak of | the souls of the departed as having | separate and _ conscious existence| within the keeping and control of God the Creatar. | Now, Mr. Editor, we presume that your readers do not have to be told thath among theologians. one single text is not sufficient te establish and confirm a doctrinal point. It re- | quires the convergence of ‘evidence from every point of the diamond, so to speak, to establish a creedal for- : mula. To prove the existence of the soul| apart: from and independent of the body we cite the narrative of Elijah and the widow's son (1 Kings 17-21 and 22). In this case the boy “died of a sore sickness and no breath was {left in him.” In response to the {prayer of the prophet, the Lord re- stored the soul to the boy, and this| was the language used. “O, Lord, my God, let the child's soul come in- to him again—and the Lord heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the| chilg eame into him again and he| revived” Of course this does not | prove the soul to be immortal but it is a step toward it. It does prove that the soul did not die when the body did—and that the bedy again lived when the soul was returned to it, in answer to the holy man’s pra er—andthat the life of the body is dependent upon the presence of a soul ‘in it. There are other instances similar to this but onc esample suffices. John, the Revelator, than whom no| one pemetrated so far into the spirit- ual world, declares (Rev. 6-9 and 20- 4 ‘T saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held—and they cried with a loud!| voice, saying “How lomg, O = Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judee and avenge our blood on them = that recoliection of their eartbly injuries when in the body. In the other text John says “I saw the souls of them that were behead- ed “~- the witness of Jesus and for the Word of God and whieh had net worshipped the beast, nor received his mark in their foreheads or in their hands and they lived, and reign- ed with Christ a thousand years.” A thousand years, we admit, is’ not immortality, but it is a good start, and as there is no intimation that it was to be extinguished, we assume, as John seemed to belleve, that their existence was to be eternal Now, Mr. Editor, so far as the matter of intercourse between lhlSL world and the next is concerned, we think the Saviour settled that in the| negative, by his parable of the rich man and Permit us to say that we hold the parableg of Jesus lol be real recitals of fact, and not fic- ticious 'movelettes. According to the story twd men died whose lives had been at the extremes of society. The rich man was buried—he had a fu- neral, most likely suited to his state in rank. Lazarus died, tee, and was carried to Abraham's bosem by the angels—no funeral worth naming. In that after state the rich man was anxious to communicate with five brethren that were yet alive; so as to warn them against his fate. Yes, he even wanted Lazarus to be sent ag a medium, but we recall the! answer given him by Abraham. The communication was forbidden. They had Moses and the prophets—let them hear them. This was sufficient and the conclusion of the argument was that if they would net hear Moses and the prephets neither would they be persuaded if one rose from the dead. Such indeed is the obtuse- ness of men who are in error that the more light is thrown on their pathway they become the more de- termined and persistent—so that it is a question is any one today cam be wonvinced by argument. Respectfully, TROLAND. JOHN Norwich, Feb. 28, 1928. Stories That Recall Others. Paig Na Attention, Jack is “some” boy. Al the neigh- bors admit it. His original sayings and slang, repeated after hearing it from incautious neighbors, are well known in his street. “Jack,” said his mother one day, “g0 over across the street and get T. J."—T. J. being his baby brother. Jack had reached the mature age of three and three-quarters, while T. J. had just got around the corner of two. Presently Jack came home without T. J., and to his mother's question as to why he did not bring his brother, said: “Mother, I clapped my hand: and I tilked ' my mouth, and T. J. wouldn’t pay any attention to me.” The First Time. The other evening a bachelor went out to call on one of three sisters of uncertain age. The snow storms had left the street next to impassable in ront of that bouse. So the fellow’s| roadster “stuck” and the neighbors bad to g0 to his assistance and help bim out. One of the women in_the neighbor- hood listened to her husband’s ac- count of the happening and then| commented: “Now that fellow is the first beau they have had at that house for years. It does look like a shame after nature helped lodge him and his machine there for you med- dlesome men to go and pull him out INCOME-TAX FACTS YOU SHOULD KNOW No. 3. The changes wrought during 1819 Dby Dirths, deaths, and marriages in many families materially affect the liability of members for Income-Tax. Millions of babies have been added to the family circles, each of _whom brings an added exemption of ¥ on the parents’ Income-Tax return. On the other hand, several millions of boys and girls become seM-support- ing and they form a mew crop of in- come-tax payers. Also, the ~ grim reaper brought its many sorrows and | removed many dependents and many | of the breadwinners themselves. Accordingly, it is pointed out by In- ternal-Revenue Officials, there are mil lions of persons who must this year consider their Income-Tax liabiity | from a new angle. For their new | status as of December 31, 1919, gov- who lost | their mates during 1519 are especially affected. They must remember that, unless married again before December 31, they are single in the eyes of In- come-Tax law. Similarly, those who were divorced or otherwise separated from their wives or husbands must consider themselves as single persons. But a widow is not required to show on her personal return the income of her husband up to the date of his| death; and the same is true in the| case of a widower who suffered the loss of his wife during 1919. For the income of deceased persons must be considered separately with respect to 1equirement to file a return for the deceased by the executor of adminis- | Norwich’s Besi Drug Store o - | The Utmost in Prompt, Courteous Service Prices Are Right Cor.
