Senator Cummins had an informal joint de-
bate on the peace treaties Mr.. Cummins

Senator Cummins further said he had not

treaties or the views OF the minority in
favor Of them.

Soap Good Remedy
For Twisted Thread

The woman who sews is very often
annoyed by having the thread twist
into knots especially If she is using a
long thread.
Waxing the thread by running It over
a bit of beeswax is the proper way to
avoid this trouble; but wax sometimes
discolors the thread slightly and is not
always desirable on that account.
For either silk or cotton thread you
can use, the same as wax, a small
piece of pure white soap that is per-
fectly dry This makes the thread slip
through the material very easily and
absolutely prevents twisted knots.
