stitches ON the extreme edge, and when
finished press the seam open with the
thumb. This will make the edge smooth
and flat so the joining will hardly be
noticed.

As housekeeping expenses vary every
week, at times something can be saved
out OF this toward clothing children or
pleasure trips, which still leaves a bal
ance of 81. which must be put aside
every week for clothes and the winter,
when fuel amounts to about 81 and all
holidays are deducted. There are also
doctor bills and medicine to think OF.
Perhaps a little could be saved.

AND
THE HUNGER STRIKE

London. Oct. 27.-Queer things are
leaking out concerning the treatment
of suffragettes undergoing imprison-
ment in English jails for attempting
to force the government according
to franchises. There is always a
number of suffragettes in prison at
London, Liverpool and Manchester
A few weeks ago they declared hun
ger strike and at first whenever a
striker had nearly starved herself the
autorities released her. Recently
they decided to resort to forcible
feeding, 10 compel the prisoners TO
serve their terms. A feature of the
situation is that only working women
are subjected to the stomach pump
treatment, and influential women
continue to be released after a few
days of fasting, as before.
The authorities maintain no harm
comes from forcible feeding, while
say it results in chronic
stomach troubles.

idea of happening by the shop about

off the lights in the show windows, he
proceeded to invent h plan whereby
the lights would turn themselves off.
Accordingly he attached a string to

the other end of the string to the

and then connected the trigger Of
the trap with the striker on an
