Most important Turn Thus Far
Given Chinese Situation.
SETTLEMENT INSISTED UPON
United States. Great Britain. Japan
France. Russia and Germany Let
II Be Known Unequivocally
that They Favor Peace.

Washington, Dec. 20,-The SIX pow
ers have presented a joint note 20 the
peace commissioners at Shanghai, and
the act is considered at the state de-
partment, next to the fact OF the Chi
nese conference itself, TO be the most
important turn thus far given to the
Chinese situation
If the note is successful in hasten
ing an adjustment of the demoraliZed
governmental conditions. It VIII in 4
large degree stand as a vindiCation {
the conservative policy of the United
States This government has stood
firmly for hands off China as long as
possible and do nothing except through
Joint action"
In the identical notes presented to
imperialist and revolutionist delegates
alike by the six powers it is pointed
out that the six governments signatory
to the note consider that the present
struggle in China seriously affects not
only China itself, but also the materi-
al interests and the security of for
ClSHSlS III lldI COuulIS lie uOlS COti'
tinues with a statement that the gov.
ernments, while maintaining an atti,
tude of strict neutrality, deem it worth
while to point out to the two delega-
lions the necessity of bringing the
present disturbances 10 an early end.
The governments express heir belief
that this attitude responds to the de-
sires of both factions.
This communication was agreed
upon by the diplomatic representatives
at Pekin of the United States, Great
Britain, Japan, France, Russia and Ger
many, There is no concealment of the
fact that it was intended to convey
to the leaders now responsible for
peace or war, a hint of what they
may expect in case of a refusal Of
either side to agree to some sort of a
settlement Behind this note, it is said,
is the combined force of all the six
powers and the readiness to use such
force rather than see the present
chaos continue.
The concentration of the control of
the immediate future of Cbina's des.
tiny in the hands of few men at
Shanghai is regarded as the first and
most favorable opportunity for the al
lied foreign powers to assert their po-
sition,
The belief is strong that the way in
which the matter has been squarely
put up to the peace commissioners will
make them hesitate before recklessly
casting aside the present opportunity
ment's fortunes.

THE MODERN KITCHEN
MANY INVENTIONS AND LABOR
 SAVING DEVICES IN USE.
Large Kitchen Is Not by Any Means the Most ldeal-Poor Economy to Stint In the Matter of
 Furniture.

In some respects our ideas of home making are not very different from those cherished by our ancestors. We build houses today after those design ed a century ago and consider our selves lucky indeed, if we possess fur niture that has been handed down from generation to generation.
 The kitchen is a notable exception. Housekeepers of hundreds years ago would surely marvel to see the mod ern kitchen with its many inventions and labor-saving devices.
 When planning for an up-to-date kitchen it is well to consider 1t first from an architectural point of view. although the majority of home-makers will have little to say in this matter.
 The ideal location for kitchen, in the country, is on the north, with win dows on the east and west. This al- lows the suns rays to enter in during part of the day without giving undue heat in summer. The sun is the great est purifier and destroyer of germs and it's entrance into the kitchen for even short time. will do much to- ward improving the sanitary condi- tioRs.
 For the sake of ventilation windows should be placed on at least two sides

TO MAKE CODFIcH CHOWDER
Agreeable Change for Jaded Appetites.

Take an eight-pound, very fresh cod; take off the fillets, pare off the skin and cut the meat in squares;
 put the head, skin and bones in a saucepan with gallon of white broth, pint of white wine, pepper corns. four blades of mace, four cloves, two bay leaves, sprigs of sage and thyme, handful of parsley and a piece of butter; cover and boil slowly for 40 minutes; then pour the whole into fine strainer and press gently with skinner to extract all the liquid. Chop two large onions, put in saucepan with an ounce of butter and two ounces of fine chopped salt pork; stir on the fire long enough to evaporate the moisture;
 add the broth, four large potatoes and four peeled tomatoes, both cut in small squares, four ounces of finely bruised and steeped pilot bread; cover and boil half an hour; add the fish and boil five minutes longer. Skim little, season highly. Finish with chopped parsley and two ounces of butter; mix carefully, so as not to bruise the fish.

Literary Criticism.
my credit

They were discussing a certain au- thoress at dinner, and a well-known critic raised laugh by remarking: Well, her hairs red, even if her books are not"
 The mild young man in the corner made mental note of the sally for flu ture use, and at another party shortly afterward he carefully guided the con- versation into literary channels, Tit Bits informs its readers. Fortunately, some one mentioned the desired name, and he triumphantly cried out: Well, she's got red hair, even if her books haven't!"

A Convenient Kitchen.

so that a cross draft can blow away all odors.
 There should be as little wood work as possible in the kitchen, since wood is harboring place for insects and germs. Where it must be used, it should be of hardwood or pine painted and vanished, the varnish destroying those qualities in paint that are detri. mental to health.
 The size of kitchen should be care. fully considered. A large kitchen is not by any means the most ideal.
 The furniture required for the kitch- en will depend largely on the archi- tectural makeup" It will be poor economy to stint ones self in the mat. ter of kitchen furniture. It is a short sighted policy not to buy good makes of stoves, refrigerators and the like.
 Oilcloth is to be recommended as a kitchen floor covering. The heavy in- laid linoleum is more durable, but, of course, costs more.
 There should be at least one com fortable chair in the kitchen, some thing low without arms that will be found useful and comfortable for shell. ing peas, etc. A stool will also prove a great help to those housewives who weary with much standing. Washing dishes is lighter task when seated on a high stool and the back is spared many an ache. A twenty-four inch stool can be purchased for less than a dollar and will be found an ex- cellent investment
 It sometimes happens that house is built with little regard for pantry room. Where this is the case the kitchen cabinet should come to the rescue. These cleverly designed pieces of furniture not only relieve the congestion. but add to the attrac- tiveness of the kitchen in no small measure.

THE TEA PENALTY. "A Strong Mans Experience,

Writing from busy railroad town the wife of an employe of one of the great roads says:
 My husband is railroad man who has been so much benefited by the use of Postum that he wishes me to ex- press his thanks to you for the good 1t has done him. His waking hours are taken up with his work, and he has no time to write himself.
 "He has been great tea drinker all his life and has always liked 1t strong.
 "Tea has, of late years, acted on him like morphine does upon most people. At first it soothed him, but only for an hour or so, then it began to affect his nerves to such an extent that he could not sleep at night, and he would go to his work in the morn ing wretched and miserable from the loss of rest. This condition grew con- stantly worse, until his friends per- suaded him, some four months ago, to quit tea and use Postum.
 "At first he used Postum only for breakfast, but as he liked the taste of 1t, and it somehow seemed to do him good, he added 1t to his evening meal. Then, as he grew better, he began to drink it for his noon meal, and now he will drink nothing else at table.
 His condition is so wonderfully im- proved that he could not be hired to give up Postum and go back to tea. His nerves have become steady and reliable once more, and his sleep is easy, natural and refreshing.
 He owes all this to Postum, for he has taken no medicine and made no other change in his diet.
 "His brother, who was very nervous from coffee-drinking, was persuaded by us to give up the coffee and use Postum and he also has recovered his health and strength" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.

To Lacquer Brass,

Gum shellac dissolved in alcohol makes thin varnish which is applied with small brush. Ten cents worth of shellac is enough, also enough alco- hol to make it thin. This will lacquer a brass bed, can be done in less than an hour, and will come out as pretty as if sent to the factory to be done, and is cheaper.
