WHICH DO YOU PREFER?

It seems to us that busy town has the best of "a spotless town" It is a great thing to be immaculate, but that is not and is never likely to be the trade mark of activity.
 The town that is busy will look as dusty and grimy as the mechanic at the bench or the traffic man in his seat. Traffic of every kind makes the dust fiy-business of every kind pro- duces refuse; workmen in all depart ments of industry soil their garments. Wor-i and grime go together-they are partners in every busy place
 The busy town can be a clean town after a fashion. It is not as neces- sary to be free from dust as it is from fermentitious matter which lying upon the surface of the earth pollutes the air and breeds disease.
 Where cities have plenty of water paved traffic streets should be washed thoroughly once a week from the hydrants; and the sewers should be occasionally flushed to free them from decaying, gas producing matter; wa ter pipes should be flushed to free and microscopic life which is likely to make consumers sick.
 Cleanliness above and below ground is a city's duty to it's inhabitants. The protection of health should never be neglected. Our duty to ourselves re- quires cleanliness and should be re- garded as next to godliness.
 If we cannot have a spotless town we can have a clean one-we can af- ford no other.

THE GUARD ON OUR COAST.

It is enIy in the warm season when we break away from business and go te the coast for a rest, fresh air and sea baths that eur attention is called te the lighthouse keepers who star the night with light at every welcom- ing and dangerous point from Calais bay to the reefs of Florida and on beyond to the Mexican herder
 In a majority of cases it is a lone watch-a men0toneus and nerve raclxing service It is nc wonder these faithful servants of the night have been called slaves to salaries''-sm salaries at that.
 The lighthouse rules are the law of the lightkeepers domain and with cramped quarters and one broad view of sea and sky he can get lonely enough without assistance. He gets used to seeing nothing and enjoying the pros pect; but as lonely and trying as this work is there are plenty of men who are ready to take the job and the government has never had any diffi- culty in filling these places, the only exciting event of which is the visit of the lighthouse tender

CANNED FOOD.

case of ptomaine poisoning now and then does not suffice to make canned goods unpopular. and the de- mand is so constant that the canned goods factories increase at the rate of SEQ a year and the product from 0000, 900 to nearly $16,000, 900 in value a year.
 California leads all states in this work with New York as a distant second while Iowa stands 18th in the list Colorado, Minnesota and Utah send out over a million dollars worth of canned vegetables and fruits a year.
 The last census showed that above 6O,00O workers are employed in the work and the total value of the goods is in excess of s757 .O00, ,O0O a year.
 Canned goods have come to stay. They make domestic life easier and they bring to the table in winter farm products with the freshness of summer upon them. The canned goods inn prove the feast and help out the picnic fare

THE STATE TAX.

Why do We have a double state tax "a personal tax upon all men of mill itary age who are capable of doing military duty. and a property tax of one mill upon the assessed property of the state2
 Because of the inefficiency of the members of the legislature of 1912 who not only voted appropriations covering the two years revenue of the state, but would have exceeded il by about seven millions had not the demand for a halt and the action of the governor compelled them to come to their senses.
 The state tax is not popular-the state has revenue enough to get along without it. It will increase taxes in most of the towns and. the taxpayers will feel the thrill of the pocketbook nerve and protest. When the why is asked the answer and the remedy will be found in this paragraph from the Hartford Times:
 The answer will be found in the extrayasant tendencies of the men sent to the legislature by the towns to represent them. If there was an improvement in the personnel of the representatives,, and if this improve ment was shown in a knowledge of sound business principles there would be no need of imposing a state tax"

-----= BACK TO NATURE.

If your vacation fund is small, do not select a point too far from the city, so you will have o spend a considerable part of it in transportation. There are just as attractive places within the sixty mile radius. Choose one of them and you will have more money to de- vote to comfort and pleasure.
 When you go prepare to stay until your vacation is ended. Do not select your playground because it is handy to the city and you can run in for an evening two or three times a week. When you leave it let 1t be for a place where you can close the gates of the everyday life behind you and forget the key until you return, ready to take up your work with a new vim, a quick smile, ready sympathy, a rejuvenated body and a clear mind.

TO CLEAN OSTRICH PLUMEs.

Place them in a basinful of soapsuds made with cold water instead of hot, in which they should be left to soak for an hour or two They should then be plunged into boiling water and allowed to remain for quarter of an hour. Each feather should then be taken out, spreal on a cloth, and every particle of dirt that still clings to the fronds removed by rubbing with 2 soft piece of silk dipped in soapsuds. They must be rinsed in several changes of hot wa ter, and finally laid on towel across the knee, the fronds being touched lightly with towel made into @ ball, so as to regain the curved shape of the feather. When almost dry the feather should be we'll shaken until it appears perfectly soft and fluffy, then immedi- ately put in tissue paper and placed in a cool oven or on the plate rack of the stove, so as to complete the drying operation

PENsIoNED cLERGYMEN.

The Episcopal church has made a determined move to pension it's super annuated clergymen and their widows. There was never a more truly Chris tian movement and it is one likely to be followed by all other denomina- tions
 Think of the churches who have millions for the conversion of the heather, but not a penny to make the feeble old age of it's servants com fortabIe.
 The Episcopal church now has TIT clergymen over 65 years of age. and c.iT3 who are above 50 years of age. It will require a fund of seven million dollars to meet the requirements of this work on the start; but then it took s10G o00 000 to begin war of ex- termination of the hookworm and this is no less important
 The Episcopal pension commission. in reviewing existing pension systems intimates that many of them are really bankrupt. a condition that is not now apparent because the systems are young. but which within a few years will become evident. This bank ruptcy is attributed to the neglect of proper statistical study before those pension funds were started. and to the failure to provide properly for the load of liabilities with which a pension system always begins.

DRAFTED LACE TuNIcs.

Although perhaps lace tunic has a tendency to age it's wearer, it has eompensating merits .Ihich recommend it to women of middle age and even younger women who have a tendency to stoutness. For the close fitting pointed tunic of black lace cut with the upper part in the form of a coat tends to make the figure look slim in a manner that many, alas, find emil nently desirable as years come last upon them.
 The favorite lace employed is Chan tfIly. and when one 'znows how to drape artistically nothing can be more elegant On the contrary, nothing can be dowdier than a drapery which seeks to be artistic and fails lamentably in the attepn nt

MODERN PiAzZAs.

For the restful outdoor living room greens and browns or willow in nat ural color are preferable to the willow furniture painted a dead white. Some people prefer porch furniture of wood instead of willow, and there are complete sets that are light in weight and attractive in appearance.
 A stationary porch seat built against the wall and fitted with a tufted cushion or with pillows is a service able addition

DRESS SHIELDS.

Instead of sewing or pinning shields in a waist. sew a narrow piece of tape or baby ribbon at each end of ths shield, and sew similar pieces at the proper distance apart in the armholes of all your waists. The shields are quickly tied in place, they are easily changed to wash waists and tLere are no pins to rust or prick.

Tables are often spoiled by water seeping through the earthenware pots which hold the fern. The earthenware plates which hold the fern pots may be made waterproof by putting a piece of paraffin in the plate and setting in a warm oven.

When giving a dinner compliment ary to a bride elect one may invite only her women acquaintances. In such a case the prospective bridegroom is not an invited guest.
