The "Children's Charter. as drawn up by the Social Settlement" of Koch ester:
 1. No child should be compelled to live in an institution: every child has right to home.
 2. No child should be compelled to play on the streets; every child has a right to a garden of it's own.
 3. No child should be compelled to be a breadwinner; every child has a right to at least eighteen years of childhood.
 4. No child should be compelled to play and be amused all the time; every child has a right to share in the chores
 5. No child should be compelled to live in house built for it's parents; every child has right to a house adapted to it's needs.
 G. No child should be compelled to live in tenementS in congested dis tricts; every child has a right to space.
 T. No child should be compelled to be ill-nourished: every child, however poor its parents, has a right to proper food.
 8. No child should be compelled to have children's diseases: every child strong.
 g. No child should be compelled to be an angel every child has a right to be a real boy or a real girl
 10. No child should be compelled by disease, work or neglect. to die; every child has a right to live and be always happy.
 If the Social Settlement" has under taken to work out this policy, it has a large task in hand. As statement of theoretic policy, it is excellent; as a practical measure. it presents what now seem to be impossible reforms. The bulk of it's requirements falls upon parents, and presents objects of ac- complishment which are beyond. the reach of a great majority of parents How, for instance. are many parents to provide gardens. or other homes than those of the parents? Not even the mammoth Rockefeller fortune could effect these most admirable pur- poses throughout the country The Social Settlements" plan is decidedly visionary.

THE SCHWABS' OUTING
(COmmunicated.)

The members of the Schwaebischer Mannerchor enjoyed the first out of the season at Myrtle Beach They left Barnum and Seaview avenues at 5 o'clock in the morning by trolley, ar- irving at the beach at o'clock After hearty breakfast a party went out fishing at once During the forenoon the party was joined by some singers from AnSOnia
 The fishermen, who were Charles Schwarz and John J. Rouss, returned at II o'clock with a mess of fish bought from a Milford fisherman. A second party, headed by Chris Haug, went out and being unable to locate the fisherman returned with one fish, which was undoubtedly caught.
 The fish was pronounced a. comet fish by Prof. John Unified, a noted scientist who was in the party He says the fish is of a specie. only seen when the comet is nearing the earth.
 John Doehrer took the fish home and will use it as model for a new type of flying machine he is constructing. He has already constructed several types of machines
 During the afternoon Fred Scholz the president of the society was miss ed. At dinner he had eaten nine plates of chowder and used a half gal lon of cider vinegar in it. He was found back of the chowder kettle. MT. SchOlz declares that he would cook the chowder next time and have the. vine gar put in while it is cooking.
 The members enjoyed themselves through the day with songs and games l.. H.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

Salt and vinegar are good to clear brass work.
 Bags of heated salt are excellent to relieve neuralgia.
 White pepper is preferable to black for seasoning chicken soup. Crisp celery should be served with cold meat. It is a nerve tonic.
 If a knife is slightly heated, it will cut bread and cake much more easi-
 Flour sprinkled generously over suet will make the choppfng process simpler.
 Keep tacks in bottles. It saves opening many boxes to find a particu- lar. kind.
 Except in extraordinary cases. ev- cry sick room should have some sum- light every day.
 Too keep cheese moist and fresh and freea from mold, wrap in cloth wet with vinegar.
 To clean white paint, dip a cloth in hot water, then in bran and rub it. Rinse with cold water.
 Fat will not burn if crust of bread or piece of raw potato is placed in the kettle with it.
 When cleaning house use plenty of turpentine in the scrub water. 1t is certain death to moths.
 In cutting garments it is sometimes O6LIer to 1dSl6n luG QdlLeIn III pIdCC by weights instead of pins.
 Left over cereals need not be vast ed. They are excellent fried like mush and eaten with syrup or honey.
 A teaspoonful of glycerine given in a wineglass of hot milk, will relieve a severe paroxysm of coughing. Cheese wrapped in wax paper and put ia the refrigerator will keep for a week and looks as if freshly cut.
 To keep the tubes of macaroni from sticking together the water must be kept at galloping boil, as with rice.
 For washing coarse clothes, soft soap is the best and has the advantages of going further than yellow soap.
 Oxalic acid in the proportion of one to twenty may be used to re- move perspiration stains from wearing apparel.
 Bacon fat may be saved and used to fry fish in. It gives the fish good flavor and keeps it from falling apart.
 If a tiny pinch of soda is put into a. saucepan in which fruit is being stewed less sugar will be needed to Sweeten #.
 Green lima beans boiled until they are nearly tender and then fried in butter are better than when merely stewed.
 A little tin ruler should be with every sewing outfit. It is very much easier to use in measuring bands, hems and tucks, than tape.

INJUSTICE TO AUTOISTS

Commenting upon what may be called the auto-road question. the An sonia Sentinel calls attention to the fact that a thirty-horse power car cost 6ng s2,500. pays a total State tax of S20. and a town tax-at 14 mills and assessed at s1.5OO-of s21 making a total of s41. In addition. the Sentinel says. .'the auto owners are expected and required to roll the roads This is a branch of road-making and road repairing usually let out to road roll ers, but in the past few years it has been consigned to motor cars more or Jess. and this year the plan is again in practice. All through the State one may find quarter mile. half-mile and perhaps longer stretches where coarse, as well as fine, sharp trap-rock has been placed on the highways and aeveled off by laborers and then left without top dressing for the automo- biles to roll down. And as the heavy machines are driven over those sharp, tri-cornered stones Chard as flint) the rubber is trimmed from the costly tires almost as effectually as if sliced by a thousand blades, and now and then a piece of the trap rock is imbedded deep hn the tire. requiring force (and choice rwords) to get it out. No other kind of traffic is submitted to such treat ment, and no other is taxed SO much Dr is more justly entitled to a square deal"
 The Sentinel says that after collect ing the cash dues. and after using the automobiles for road rollers. the State is short-sighted, indeed. in not requir- 1ng motorists to attach to each car a tank of oil and do the sprinkling. and St might also insist upon their carting on and leveling the stone splinter de- posits''
 And in conclusion. the Sentinel says:
 Soberly. there is little justice In the treatment which this State hands out to its owners of automobiles. and. for that matter, it is not measuring out to tourists, either any great propor- tion of the gospel of the Golden Rule. It taxes no other class of traffic as it taxes the motor car traffic. and it uses mo other class of visitors as contemp- ltibly. Through class legislation it ex- itOrtS the highest limit of State and town taxes. and in addition it presents highway conditions which. instead of furnishing easy and economical trav- cling, add to the wear and tear of the machines. increase the cost of their

FASHIONS AND PADS

Waist of black large meshed cable net, made over white dotted net have shallow yokes of Irish crochet. Long pearl and diamond chains are in high favor, and old cameo brooches linked together are made into collar cites.
 The newest belts for shirtwaists are wider than have been worn and leather girdles of all colors are much in fa- Vor
 There is revival of the use of vel vet bags and many of plain black, beautifully mounted, are seen in the shops.
 Velvet ribbon in the leading colors is combined with . flowers for the trimming of hats. It is also used for belts.
 New parasols of taffeta silk are in solid. colors, some with narrow tucks forming a border; others perfectly plain.
 A double accordeon pleated white net jabot edged with black chinchilla lace is attractive with a half n}Surn- ing toilette.
 A deep hem reaching to the knees is used on many skirts of afternoon dresses, the hem being a material con- trasting to that above

 One of the pretty new silk and cot ton materials, is illusion silk that comes in all colors for street and ev- ening wear at remarkable low prices.
 FoulardS, plain and figured, are al- lied with great success. The deep hem reaching to the knees is a happy solu- tion of the problem of contrasting silks.
 A most serviceable frock is a pale gray cloth of the finest texture with a dainty bodice. Such a gown accords well with almost any kind of a hat.
 Voiles of extremely large mesh call- ed ''toile endee" are much in vogue for afternoon wear, as are also chlf- fon over cashmere designs and change able silks.

The high cost of living has pushed poor families in New York city, says Survey. to "the very edge of want" '" There is evidence. it says. that more children are leaving school to go to work, the day nurseries show that more married women must seek posi- tions, the supply of meat has been cut down-the increased cost of living has, in fact. reduced the standard of living. and that is something which must be reckoned with in the next as well as in this generation" The worst fea- ture of the situation is that reduction of the standard of living means re- duction in the efficiency of labor. It has always been an American boast that American labor is the most effic- tent of all. The greed of trusts and monopolies threatens to force a with drawal of this boast.

TOBACCO MANUFACTURERS
 AND GROWERS

The National Leaf Tobacco Assocla- ton which met at Hartford. Monday as made up mostly of manufacturers. line annual report of Joseph G. Gull man. Jr. contains some points of gen eral interest Of the Philippine blll which allows the importation of 15O,- 'o90. coo cigars free of duty. he says:
 We have placed definite limits on tine possible free entries and thus erad;cated the menace of abnormaily Stimulating production in the islands et our eXpense Ridiculous as the fergunent is that free admission or .i50 eco. coo cigars is a healthy stimulus to an industry with a production ap- .proxinlating only 220. .000 GOO, just so Ridiculous is the argument that the f55O ooO. 900 cigars admitted free. can sdenloralize our industry with an ap- iproximate eight billion production. We must look upon the Philippine Dill as "a contribution from OUT industry to the pet charity of our executive.
 With regapd to the tobacco sched- ule in the new. tariff law. he says the lechedules in the old law were fairly eatisfactory' and the association asked ldor no changes though it presented facts and figures which despite thelr fpertinency. were overshadowed in the Fdual blessing of abnormal protection and tremendous revenue" He be- Hieves however that "a reduction in tthe rate of wrapper duty is essential ito the future welfare of our industry, Ibut thinks it unlikely that such a reduction can be obtained. except by branches of our cigar leaf family, com sbined with a governmental indisposi7. Etion to levy on wrapper tobacco the highest ad valorem rate of any gener- ally used commodity
 He also says:
 The tariff commission I earnestly hope will give our industry the careful iconsideration it is entitled to. investi lgate conditions and apply sound eco snomic principles in it's recommenda- lions. It was indeed unfortunate. not only for our industry, but for most industries of our country. that the lPayne-Aldrich bill was passed during "a period when our national revenues were seriously embarrassed and when present necessity overshadowed ulti- mate benefit. I do not believe the day is far distant when the Payne Aldrich bill will be superseded by a law which is in greater harmony with the general tariff demands of our country.
 To my mind, the National Cigar Leaf Tobacco Association should vigorously enter a campaign of education. Actual fconditions and undisputed statistics must be linked together in an adamant chain of irrefutable evidence and wide spread publicity given the results. so that our entire tobacco family marks iwhere it stands and knows which road Heads to success. Make the tobacco Farmer as conversant with actual con- n 6no Co at,r ers are I believe that, by untiring education. we can gather in Washing ton a united tobacco industry with a determined policy.
 The manufacturers will probably Hind difficulty in persuading the to- bacco growers to unite with them in action before the Tariff Commission and Congress. Until the former be- lcome more liberal in buying. the growers are not likely to meet them half way or any part of the way.
