THE LETTERS OF coMMrTTAL.

The letters Of committaI to the in uufry made of prospective candidates if they would support the public util- ities bill Of the Connecticut Business Mems association shave been evasive upon the specific measure while per fectly satisfactory as to a committal to the principle which is involved.
 The men experienced in public life realize that when a bill is filed in the legislative pigeonfoie it is approaching a place of peril and that when it reaches the point for discussion and amendment it is likely to become a stranger to it's original self The op- por-unity for amendment of any measure is a warning for action to some mem bers who do not really know aa hat they ought to do. but who feel called upon 10 do something Rare, indeed. is the measure. never mind how carefully or sHilfully it has been drawn that gees through the legisla- tive mill without ensures or amend rnsnts. so this Business Mems asso- citation bill may be somebody else's law when it is enacted. and it would not be al all surprising if il became a disappointment to the men who framed it.
 This is not a stage of the game at which promises are worth much for .rent of the state is in favor of a good public utilities bill The Bulletin has TO coSrbts that many republican lead CTS are favorable to such a measure it Is quite sure so that the agitation is good as an expression of what the ac- tive business men of the state want but what they will get depends upon the ability and judgment of the legis- Native leaders, and there is no evading this fact
 IL is quite likely that the general as- Eer1bly of 1911 will pass a bill of this character

FREIGHT IN CITY STREETS.

1 The growth of trolley freighting and ] it's steady increase has made this sub ject of a new use of a city's business streets a burning issue all over New England but as yet no way of con- trolling the business has been dis covered. After a fight of four years duration with the Consolidated Street Railway company. Worcester has reached a conclusion to grant a linn : ited franchise to the company, and Mayer Logan has signed it. Of this the Springfield Republican says:
 This franchise confines the oper- atfons of the freight and express lines to certain streets in the congested section of the town, it cannot be sold or in other ways disposed of, it's life is twenty years, and the city reserves the right to take advantage of any future legislation which may be en-
 acted to still further restrict it. The street railway company was given @ days in which to accept the offer, and the plan must be submitted to the railroad commission before it can be- come operative This idea of 8 linn tied franchise is by no means what the company desired, while Main street merchants are not pleased that the busiest thoroughfare in Worces- ter is practically excluded from the Jurisdiction of the franchise. Mayor Logan is in favor of tha limitations imposed and believes that the mer- chants can very well establish sys- tenn of team service whereas they de- sired to have the express cars pass their doors. Thus far the railroad commission has insisted upon un1im ited freight franchises, and no appeal to the courts has ever been taken from %Izs- Logan and City Solicitor Vaughn arc prepared to appeal from any decision of the commission which shall change this franchise"

Simple Expedients to Simplify Ironing

While at best ironing is tedious work it may be made less so by a few simple expedient.
 One of these is a floor cushion Make a fiat pad of excelsior three inches thick and big enough to stand upon comfortably.
 Another is the kneeboard-three feet long, thin and nght-which may be held on the lap, thus making it pos sible to sit while ironing small things such as collars, handkerchiefs, doilies etc.
 A third for table linen. is the roller Get a big cardboard mailing tube as long as a folded tablecloth is wide and fasten a narrow ribbon inside, so yard hangs out at the end.
 Instead of folding the ironed cloth roll it around the tube and tie down the end with ribbon, cross the strings pass them around the roll and tie on the other side. so keeping the cloth smooth and compact.

Apple Butter.

The old shioned, orthodox way of making apple butter is with sweet cider-the unfermented apple juice as it runs from the mill. Reduce a ket- tie of this apple juice one-third by boiling: prepare a peck of sweet ap- pies by pairing, coring and slicing thin; combine the two, and cook all day or until reduced to a smooth solid ''mush." Our grandmothers per mitted little spice, but no sugar: sugar was dear. apples. cider and fuel were cheap. and grandma herself was busy about the kitchen all day, and with a wooden paddle kept the but ter from burning. This oId-time ap- pie butter is worth making-once- for it's old-tine flavor; but little in genuity will suggest modernized form for the second venture.

he had raced around the table and
clasped the girl in his arms.
