THE VACATION PROBLEM

The vacation problem IS very much less of a problem than it was a q'Ar- ter of 6 century ago.
 It is g. fact that persons who do not have the vacation habit do not have the vacation thought or expense and they form quite a large part of the community.
 Recent writers upon vacations have taken for their themes: 'eVacation in the Kitchen vacation on the Ve- randa," etc. These seem to be vaca- tisns where those writing them know how to find as much joy in their work as some people do in travel and the ability to find rest whatever is re- duired Of them and wherever they may be. Perhaps they are the happy-go- lucky people of earth
 One wrote of "A Vacation Upon a Trolley Car" which from the amount of time and travel involved must have been wearying if extremely interest," ing.
 Vacations are often made up of more work than pleasure, and the indulgers in them return often without money or patience; but the rational vacation is too beneficial a thing to condemn and ought to be more general than it really ia-

GETTING AT FACTS.

It appears to be easier to get at facts than to remedy them.
 The railroad presidents have been forced to explain in self defense since they were being severely blamed for the high cost of living. This is what 8 railroad president has. had to say on one part of the subject:
 The Florida farmer receives $2.25 for a bushel of green beans, the rail- road gets 50 cents for the S09- mile haul to New York. and the consumer pays $6.40 for this same bushel of beans. There Is 35 per cent. for the grower per cent. for the carrier, and 57 per cent. for the dealer. This is not a fair division.
 The Springfield Republican seconds this with a statement that a Florida orange grower who received fifty cents a box for his oranges. The transpor- tation costs were fifty five cents and the price paid by the consumer was S4 box
 This simply shows that the whole saler, the express companies and pub lie carriers, and the retailers do the rest. That the present business sys- tenn puts tremendous tax upon every consumer is apparent enough. but the remedy which is diligently sought for is not forthcoming. This half told story promises to remain a halfctold story to the end of time.

The state board of equalization is spurranz up tke assessors in all parts of the state to get their grand lists up where they belong. There is not a town in the state that has not had a million of valuation added to it. By the last raise ten of the cities had their lists raised over three millions amount, Green wichs over three times and Hartford's over eight times that sum.
 The New Haven Times-Leader says with reference to the 1S.607, ,o00 added to the lists of 151 towns:
 'Fhe Law says that taxable prop erty shall go into the list at it's true market value.
 "HTrue market value is an elastic term and generally there is quite a difference between the estimate of the owner for tax list entry and his esti
 mate of value to the customer who wants to buy.
 'Tf the state board of equalization has not seriously erred in judgment, the tax lodging game is still played to an extent that is rather startling"
 The Courant says upon the same matter:
 "There isn't a county without town that Is jumped up at least 8 million. By counties, Hartford is lifted most, Fairfield second and New London third.
 "The revision of the lists is abso- lutely necessary. owing to the pre- va4kng qualities of human nature. If there were no such oversie eflt the town Hst1ng it's taxpayers the lowest woold have the least proportionate part of the tax to pay. If we are to share that burden equitably, our lists must be on a common basis. and there must be supervising authority to assure this condition. But after all. 1t presents our old-time compan- Ion, human nature, in no very be- coming light. This whole task of re- vising 121 grand lists and adding the magnificent sum. of s12s. s.ooo.o .ooe would be entirely superf1uous If each town and each taxpayer complied with the law"
 This is all very true; but where is the board of assessors capable of making the true value, or exactly 75 per cent. of that value; and where are the industrial plants that will sub init to it. It is probable that there isn't tax list in the state which re- viewed by Q competent judge would reveal property in for it's full value. and for 75 per cent. of its value, and for all other per. cents. of its face It is argued that cost has nothing to do with the value of a piece of property: but that the price it will bring at a sale is it's market value and who can estimate that? A tax payer making oath to his propertys value, swears to the assessors vaIua- ton gieefu1ly if it is enough below his own estimate. The game of values is something of a chance game, and no board of assessors has been able to make Vhat would be accepted as an equitable list.

Pads for Women.

New casters. called the 'domes of silence are being used in this coun- try. They are bright little disks of highly polished steel, and furniture fitted with them will glide easily, si- lently and smoothly over carpets and other kinds of floor coverings.
 The domes can be affixed to small pieces of furniture by a gentle tap. They can be attached to the heavier articles, such as bureaus, wardrobes, etc, by placing these large pieces on the domes. By their use the heaviest kind of furniture can be moved with ease. These aids are in three sizes, small, medium and large, and cost only 15 cents for set of four.
 Teddy's Mig is the newest style doll. The bird doll is beginning to lose it's novelty, so the African native" is be- coming popular.
 As it's name implies, the doll is of ebony and sparsely clad.
 It's costume consists of a fringed waistband, huge brass rings in it's ears and nose. Rings are placed at inter- vals on the legs and arms.
 The dolls eyes are white pearl but tons sewed with black thread. In presenting a young child with the doll it might be wise to do it cautiously for the little one will be either de- lighted or scared.

HINTS.

The most practical use for old corks is to make a low fire burn up.
 Empty spools are also good for kind ling, and neither should be allowed to accumulate in any quantity.
 The label on a glass jar will keep clean and in place longer if pasted on the inside.
 Of course this only applies where dry materials are used, such as rice. tapioca, etc.
 To keep starch from sticking use fiatirons that are perfectly clean, and when making the starch add a piece of boraX and stir with a tallCw candle.
 A kitchen convenience is a medi- cine chest, such as is commonly sup piled for bathrooms.
 This is hung over the kitchen table and is designed to hold small cook ing supplies, such as baking powder, spices. etc, cocoa and havoring ex- traracts.

been impatient to welcome MT. Roose-
 welt. and to do him honor as a man after their own hearts, whom they thoroughly understand, albeit his own countrynen may fail to comprehend his essential greatness. They point out his purely English traits. There is for example his predilection for historical research and for moral es- says of a distinctly homiletic flavor. What other American politician ever read and wrote so much? But, accord ing to his English critics. it is a fixed tradition in Britain for the successful statesman to be a man of letters-wit- ness Gladstone, Balfour, Rosebery, Nor ley, Curzon-one knows not where to end the list.
 Every country of Europe apparently would like to appropriate MT. Roose welt and keep him within its borders as 8 naturalized citizen. Some of them almost seem readysto crown him king or establish him in a perpetual dicta- torShp. There Is something Napolo- onfc about his conquest of the contf nent- In the meantime, though Flu rope is willing to obliterate the fact. there Is no likelihood that this country will forget that MT.

ROOSEVELT AND THE WIRELESS


 Roosevelt and his family are on the ocean headed for New York and through the services of wireless teleg- raphy there is not likely to be a day that they will not be heard from. He is upon the modern liner Auguste- Victoria, and the public has had his quarters described, the fact that he dined with the captain. that he has had wireless messages Of greeting from other ships at sea. and that he takes his daily walks on deck. and that he is keeping himself and his private secretary busy in getting the MSS. of his travels in Africa rapidly ready for the printer, who will get to work on them at once when he reach es New York this week.
 New York is preparing to give him the greatest reception ever given to private American citizen, and it is estimated that there will be 20.O0O people in line to do him honor when he reaches port.
 Nobody expects Colonel Roosevelt to settle down, for he doesn't know how the inquiry as to what he will do next is in order. but there appears to be no one capable of answering the question. Wall street expects him to go on making mistakes and the people expect him to speak for prog ress and justice regardless of the ef- feet it may have upon the predatory rich.
 There is little use for speculation since Colonel Roosevelt will soon be on his native heath and will be ex- pected to say something pat and effec- tive. His first speech is not likely to be political speech, and it is not likely that he will talk politics until the psychological moment when his ut terances will be to the point and ef- fective.

You will find that it is worth while, as the pens provided at some hotels and other public places possible to use them. Also put a candle and box of safety matches in the bag.

Canning Berries.

An easy way to can strawberries, raspberries and red entrants, and one in which they retain the very best fla vor is to do them raw. The jars must be scrupubously clean and the rubbers new. Mash the berries, a. few at a time, in a sancedfsh, to be sure every one Is mashed; then to one cup full of berries add one cupful of sugar. Stir well, fill jars and seal. Very simple.

Getting Rid of Ants.

You do not say whether the pests are red or black ants. If red ants, a liberal sprinl1ling of turpentine around their haunts will be found efficacious; {; fresh tansy also is an excellent exter- minator. If black ants, try cucumber peels, or solution of tartar emetic and water. Remember that tartar emetic is a poison. You might take a sponge, dampen it and sprinkle the sugar over it. The sugar will attract the ants. Plunge the sponge in hot water and repeat till the ants have gone.

Nutshell Notes for Young Wives and
 Brides elect

One or two tablespoonfuIs of ann monia added to a pail of water will clean windows better than soap.
 Great improvement will be found in tea and coffee if they are kept in glass fruit jars instead of tin boxes.
 A teaspoonful of borax added to cold starch will make clothes stiffer than anything else, though it adds no polish.
 One teaspoonful of ammonia to a teacupful of water will clean gold or silver jeweIry. A few drops of clear amonnia, poured on the under side of diamonds will clean them immediate ly, making them very brilliant.

Sewing on Buttons.

When sewing buttons on heavy clothes. where the material to be but toned is clumsy or stiff, place coarse darning needle or wire nail under the button.
 When the button is fastened remove the alarming needle or nail and the button will be tight. yet the stitch will be long enough to allow it to but ton easily. If shoes are a trife tight, try this method of fastening the but tons rather than setting them over, as that leaves the marks of the first fastening exposed.
