Likewise it cannot fail to be thamkful that the de- olsion has been reached in so short a time and with no greater bloodshed. PUTTING PRICE ON SUGAR. After having bought sugar for 30 to 35 cents a pound the American con- sumer would think lttle of+-paying an In- crease of four-tenths of a cent & pound above present day prices. He might pay no attention at all to such a small mat- ter but thers could reasonably be expect- ed quite a howl if such an increase In price was demanded for the purpose of log rolling operations of sugar refiners. Thers s a duty placed on sugar for purposes of revenue. Each and every- one who buys a pound of sugar pays the tariff but he has the satistaction of Xnowing that the Tevenus goes to help defray ths expenses of the government, and consldering the number of sugar users it can be appreciated that such a tax is pretty well dlstributed. Sugar growers in this country are seeking a tariff on sugar grown outside the country In order that thelr Industry may not be wiped out. The refiness of sugar are desirous of having a smaller tariff than the domestio producers want. The different between the tariffs would mean a loss of something lke $35,00,- 000 yearly to the domestic cane and beet sugar men. To meet this situation it is the proposal of some of the sugar refin- ers that they agres among themselves to increase the price of sugar four-tenths of a cent a pound for the purpose of ralsing this $35.000,000 which will be turned over to the domestic mugar men, and as a result the domestic men will cease to oppose the duty on sugar which 1s favored by those who foreign prqduction of raw sugar. The sitvation as it would work out un- der the plan of some of the refiners 15 to have the consumer pay this $35,000,000 which woul protect the domestic indus- try and pay it to the producer, instead of paying whatever price might be fixed as the result of the protective tariff on raw sugar and have that momey go to the federal government. It seems to be a price fixing arrangement with the dea of affecting the federal revenue and un- der those conditfons it doesn't seem strange that certain of tne large refiners are turning a deaf ear to the propost- tion, NEY P, DAVISON, Not only because he was one of the blg financial men of the country, con- nectsd with'one of the largest financial houses, but because of the masterly ser- vice that he rendered as director of the Red Cross war councll did Henry P, Davison come to be widely known.

Clean brass kettles before using with salt and vinegar. Children should not have meat more than once a day. A nice way to serve creamed vege- tables is in timbale cases. Don't use very hot water or much soap In washing china that has much gllt on it Dishes will hold their lustre if they are warmed by placing in hot water in- stead of being put into an oven to heat. < Bake your potatoes by them on top of an asbestos mat on the bur- ner. Cover them with & tin pen. It will save gas. ‘When the fire is low;, sprinkle a few teaspoonfuls of sugar over the coals. The carbon in the sugar will make a quick fire that ignites wew coal. Thinning the eggs with a few table- spoons of hot water instead of milk in making an omelet will make the ome- let more tender. : Reed and willow baskets are best cleaned by rubbing with a stiff brush. If not waved they may be scrubbed with soapy water, rinsed amd dried. Try putting a teaspoon of cam- phor into a quart of soft water to kill the worms in your house plant. Apply this only when the plant is dry. If you object to the strong taste of cabbage scald thd head in hot water and rinse in cold before the actual cooking process begins. Even baked beans can be part of a very good salad. Peel ripe toma- toes, take out the inside, chop it finely and mix it with baked beans. Salt and pepper to taste. Pour over it a little French dressing. PAINTING YOUR HOUSE. In figuring the amount of paint re- quired for your home you will find the following rule helpful : 5 ‘While the quantity of paint required varies somewhat with the nature of the surface to be covered, and the condi- tions under which it is applied, a god grade of prepared paint will ordinarily cover at least 350 square feet to the gallon, using two coats. First, measure the distance around the house and multiply by the average height, then divide by 350, and ‘the re- sult will be approximately the number of gallons to buy. Of this quantity, one-fith will repre- sent the paint required for trimmings, cornices and the like. STUFFING FOR FiSH. One cup of bread or cracker crumb two tablespoonfuls melted butter, one- quarter teaspoon salt, one teaspoonful lemon juice, one-eighth teaspoon pep- per, one teaspoonful chopped onion, hot water or milk. Mix the ingredients and use enough liquid to moisten them. If dry stuffing is preferrea omit liquid. This quantity is sufficient for & fish of four or five pounds. HEALTH AND BEAUTY Eruptions frequently appear upon the back of the upper arm, which is not|® only disfiguring but is an evidence of a lack of circulation. Hot irons and tight twisting is in- jurious to_your hair and should be avolded. If they hair is slightly dampened, ordinary kid or rag curlers are effectual, and are quite harmless. For the bath, boll a small quantity of bran in a linen bag. Put both the liquid and the bran in the wash-bowl and add enough warm water to wash your hands. Don’t use any soap whatever. Just rub the boiled bran over your hands well and then after you dry them g0 over them lightly with cream. It the scalp is neglected, if dirt or any kind of disease gets too great a hold upon it, the healthy hairs will weaken and lose their color, they will break and split and finally fall will be weaker and will lack the beauty out and the uew hairs that grow in which only comes from good health. That is why clipping the hair to pre- vent broken and split ends:is helpful. It is not too often to clip the hair once every six weeks. PREVENT ACCIDENT. In hanging Chinese lanterns on the porch and about the grounds on festive occasions, it is a good thing to always put a couple of handfuls of sand in the bottom of the paper lanterns around the cup which holds the candle. « This prevents the lantern from swaying, and, in case of ignition, it separates the lantern and prevents the flames from spreading. HEALTH MUFFINS. One cup flour, four teaspoons baking powder, one-half teaspoon salt, one and one-half cups bran, one cup chopped dates, one egg, one oup milk, one tablespoonful melted butter or other fat. This quantity makes twelve muffins Sift flour, baking powder and salt to- gether. Add bran and dates and mix thoroughly. Add well beaten egg, milk and butter. Beat until thoroughly mixed and pour into greased muffin pans. Bake in moderate oven twenty- five to thirty minutes. FOR GUEST'S COMFORT. It is a good plan to have writing ma- terials in the guest's room and you should see that he has reading matter to suit hig individual taste. If you do not know his taste seloct some of the standard magazines. % Never fail to tell the guest before he retires about the breakfast arrange- ments and ask him if he wishes to be awakened at any special time. Usually a bottle with iced water is a comfort to the guest, who can thus have refreshing drinks at any time in the night. However, make sure of your guest's taste. To some hot milk is an antidote against sleeplessness, while here and there one finds some one that is usually of British training, who re- lishes a weak, hot tea before retirin The bottle full of tea infusion that h; been drawn off from the grounds -is for them a good sclection. Iced tea is often much appreciated. SILK ROSES, Some handsome silk roses are made of ribbon five inches wide doubled and gathered rosette fashion. Different colors are used and the ribbon roses are sewed semiflat to the brim of the hat ahd then the centers embroidered in bright wool French knots. DICTATES OF FASHION. Red chiffon dresses are seen where dancing is indulged in these night. Sweet peas are the most popular corsage blossoms just now. agon flies, scarabs and beetles of many kinds trim many hats.

They are also appearing as clasps on the capes of -plece the collar suits, placed on each end'of or neckband. With the all-blick chiffon dresses black jet bracelets are worn above and below the elbows, and ‘rings of cut jet on the first and little fingers. Knitted dresses are begoming less confined to sports types, and both in silk and in wool they have been seen in lace effects intended for informal evening wear. . atitched the long- SPORTS APPAREL. Tweeds, cheviots and homespuns have held the center of the stage this season for the more conventional tail- ored or “sports” suits, although variety has been given to these suits by vari- ous plaid and checked or striped com- binations. Among the smartest of the homespuns are those having an over- check in contrasting tone. One ex- ceptionally smart suit seen recently was a tan homespun with line over- check in brown, and with this suit brown shoes, gloves, hat and scarf were worn. Tailored blouses or shirts, both of cotton and silk materials, are often finished with a binding of self-fabric in contrasting color so that they may actually match the suits with which they are worn, FOR THE LITTLE FOLK. Organdie and dotted swiss, both fab- rics of which were at their zenith last season for grown-ups, and now a bit passe, are on the crest of the wave for the youngers’ frocks. One uses orange dotted swiss with white or- gandle for the frock at the left, which shows such affection for its two-col- ored compose taffeta comrade. Then there is black sateen, with bloomers, charming for the play frock, particu- larly when it is bound with bright poplin, and there is chambray trimmed with applique of a contrasting color and drawn work — trimming details which are repeated frequently in trim- ming the child’s frock. LAUNDRY NOTES. Colors are commonly set by using salt, about the proportion of a cupful to one-half gallon of water, and befora the goods are made up soak them in this mixture for five hours, ‘Tie up a bit of washing soda in the stained part. Make a lather of soap and cold soft water. Immerse the linen and boil until the spot disappears. Ap- ply or pear stains may be removed by soaking in paraffin a few hours, When color has been destroyed acid apply ammonia to neutralize the cld, then saturate with ether or chloroform and the color will usually return. After the last rinsing pop your shan- tung blouse or frock into a little milk before hanging it out to dry. This gives it the fresh, trim look you like so much. A MATTING HINT. Rush mats have become very popu- lar amongst people of slender means, for they are very pretty and inexpen- sive, especially for bedroom use. They have only one drawback, and that is the tendency of the edges to become|the first ten minutes, frayed and untidy. Little pieces break away, and soon the whole mat is shab- by. This can be avoided by stitching the edges—buttonlole fashion—with garden raffia bofere the mat is put down. Choose the colours to tone with the rest of the mat, or, if it is a plain one, then a little decorative touch might be added by the raffla stitching repeating the colours of the chintz cur- tains, TO CLEAN STRAW HATS. A black hat should be brushed well until all dust has been removed. After this has eben done, brush with strong cold tea in which a teaspoonful of gum has been dissolved. If the straw does not need stiffening the gum may be_omited, ‘White straw must also be freed from dust, and it may then be cleaned with ovalic acid dissolved in boiling water. The hat must afterwards be rinsed in cold water and dried in the air— but not in the sun. The proportion of acid to water is one teaspoonful to half a pint. NEVER BOIL COFFEE. The housekeeper who prides herself on her coffee realizes that the delici- ous flavor characteristic of the great American beverage when properly brewed cannot be coaxed out of the bean by haphazard methods. For the last two years chemists in the department of biology and public health at the Massachuseets Institute of Technology have een studying cof- fee for the purpose of establishing facts of practical value to the coffee maker. One of their most important conclusion as set forth by Prof. S. C. Prescott, head of the department, de. clares emphatically that coffee should never be boiled. The method he recommends is, first, to bring the water to a full boil in a separate vessel, then to remove it from the fire and add the ground coffe After the coffee grounds and the w: ter are mixed the Infusion should be | sentatives in high kept hot but not permitted to boil. Thi goffee-pots, but it may be applied to an ordinary coffee pot if the infusion is cleared by straining through filter paper or muslin cloth. - MORNING DRESSES Black sateen and flowered cretonne combine to make smart and practical morning and work dresses. The upper balf of the frock may be made of one material and the lower half of the other, or the sateen may be used to fashion the entire dress, with cretonne as the trimming only, usually in the form of cutout flowers appliqued here and there on the frock.

Mr. Editor: Man in & spirit of wilful- ness, after breaking all of the original ten commandments of God, and defying other God, as well a8 man, made'laws, now insists on tampering with the laws of nature in effecting daylight saving. Personaily I am not affected, but others, the actual workers, are, and they should insist on being heard in the matter. All legal voters do not have to answer the call of bell or whistle; in a spirit of falr- ness the question should be left to those who are most vitally concerned. A census of the shops and Jfactories where many women and children are empioyed might decido the question more satisfactorily. There are other matters that concern the people than the above. We have a law that prohibits the adulteration of all food products; Why not a law to pre- vent the extracting of nutritive properties old conditions.

If some of these “die hards” would get up an hour earlier, per- haps they would feel brighter, more wide awake, and be able to see another point of view. And, Mr. McNicol, speaking of prohibl tion enforcement, #t wouldn't be a bad idea for you to report the cases you would like to be witness against. There are & few in your town that have had a free run for so°long that they wouldn't believe thers was a law against selling booze if you toid them, ‘arrested them, locked them up and fined them. Yet they are breaking a law that anplies to citi- zens, and other citizens are breaking a law by buying it, and there’s an overflow of business done rizht in the town of Griswold, and the Griswold persons are the ones who ought to make the com- plaint. 5 Those sticking to standard time might g0 around and see for themselves during the hour at night that they have, when the rest have gone to roost. 25 dozen, size 20x40 Bleached Turkish Towels, good heavy 20 dozen, size 19x38, All-Linen Huck Towels, famous “Webb” make—Sale price 18-inch Bleached Linen finish Crash Toweling, value 15c—Sale price a yard ... 17-inch Union Linen Toweling. value 25c—Sale price ceean 1 18-inch All-Linen Toweling, What do they want to do, drive us DA-LITE, |!Ving out of a mall order catalogue?

In the other communities in the state have the people had a right to express themselves in this matter as they did in Norwich? Is it fair to assume that the state as a whole is 50 overwhelmingly in favor of daylight fime? Haven't the big men of the cities got together and said that they needed more time to play golf during the summer, 5o they agree among themselves to stert business an hour earlier, and get through almost before they commence in a good many in- stances? A laborer, efther skilled or common, has to work to live, so what chance has he if he don't Hke to save daylight?

Norwich, Conn.,, May 1922. Setting the Clocks Ahead. Mr. Editor: Of Mr. McNicol I'd like to ask this: Did you ever have your clock 15 minutes fast or slow? Ah! Then you broke the state law! No? Well, if it i8 breaking a state law to set your clock 60 minutes ahead, for your own convenience, then it ia breaking the state law if you set it ahead 10 or 15 minutes for your convenience, What's the difference? Any legislature that makes such a phrase a law Is not only non-progressive, in comparison to the other neighboring states, but it actually forces us to break this law, when by necessity we set our clocks for our convenlence to be on.time.
