VERMONT AND THE TARIFE.

Vermont has long stood one of the
Df American industry in American mar
kets, In speaking in opposition to the
Underwood tariff bill, as have Senators
Dillingham; and Page near the eek-end
in the Senate, and as Congressman Plum

measure In the House the members Of
the Vermont delegation voiced the senu-
ments of the great majority Of their con-
etituents
Ii was not to be expected republican
argument at this time would serve to
deter the democratic majority from
smashing the tariff. We all knew Sena-
tor Page could not save butter from dem

of the House rate from three to two
and one-half cents a pound any more

welfare work have become practical
ly self supporting. This club has a
gymnasium for boys, which is q daily
demonstration of its own worth, says
the Ladies' Home Journal.
In Findlay, Ohio, the efforts of a
committee from the Woman's Club
were successful in establishing rest
room in the courthouse, which is well
furnished, heated, lighted and sup
piled with reading material. There
is matron in charge, and the far
mers' wives who come in from the
surrounding county find the room a
most welcome and restful spot.
In Nowata, Oklahoma, the club
women have a rest room for farmers
wives and families where they may
rest, read or eat their luncheons,
dishes and tables being provided and
hot coffee served free by the matron.
Magazines are donated and the pa
irons are allowed to take them home
to read.
A rest room for visiting women is
the work of the Gancsna Club Of Eel

meets every need of those enjoying
its benefits.

BARGAIN REMNANTS


This month the shops are offering
the most tempting bargains in Won

silks and satins, remnants of smart,

is positively amusing to see the way
the most desirable materials are
being snapped up by smartly- dressed
women.
Bargain sales have ever been a pro-
life source of inspiration to the pro-
fessional humorist. and perhaps oc-
easionally the jokes at the expense
of the woman bargain hunter who
spends her months dress allowance
on bits of trimming and material
that are too small to be of any value
may be deserved, says the Ladies
Home Journal. But this season the
morning shopping frock is so simple
Of line and so narrow that from an
absurdly small quantity of material
one may evolve really pretty frock.
As for the afternoon and evening
gowns fashion is even more kind for

So, Mistress Bargain Hunter, you
may buy short lengths of lace and
chiffon, or little bits of braid, or a
yard and a fraction of silk or brocade
with assurance, knowing that later,
in the seclusion of your sewing room
and with the aid of a good pattern,
you will be able to evolve from these
same bargains a really wearable,
pretty frock.

added by fringe at the bottom. A Gre

disappoint you. but 1 must refuse to

cheap sort of sentiment that must

that such Irritation appeals TO you
be sure that he cannot regard you

hardly complimentary.

there is shirred chemisette with a
round neck, but, IL preferred, a plain
chemisette with high collar can be
used. The skirt is in two pieces only
and the back forms panel which
is Tapped over the draped edges of

in walking length or with q train.
The material here is charmeuse with
trimming of black velvet, all-over
lace and ermine and the effect is very
charming. Crepe de chine, crepe

lovely for these designs. and the
trimming can be varied to suit the
material and the season.

While this does not seem just the
season of the year for refrigerator
advice, still there are many families
in the city who are obliged to keep
the refrigerator in the kitchen and
must take ice winter and summer.
Again, our climate changes SO sud
denly from cold to warm and back
again, that it is usually economy to
take the ice, with the lower rate in
the winter months for ice. Especial
ly is this true of milk and butter, as
they are very susceptible to change
of temperature. Ice will not melt as
rapidly as in the summer, so two or
three times week will probably an
swer for the fall, winter and spring
months for ice.
Some Alphabetical Suggestions.
A REFRIGERATION ALPHABET.
A WISE choice of refrigerator has
much to do with the satisfaction of
having perfectly-kept food during
any season.
BEWARE of waste pipes connecting
with sewer or plumbing.
CLEAN, scald and cool the drain pipe
and shelves at least once a week.
DO not stand refrigerators in cellars.
no in strong draughts, but in as
light and cool place as possible.
ECONOMIC on ice by keeping the
refrigerator filled. You will then
have the benefit of the greatest
cooling capacity of your refrigerator
all the time; otherwise with little
added every day or every other day
the temperature will never be very
low and things will not keep as well.
FOOD should be carefully looked over
and so far as possible placed in
covered dishes before going into
the ice box.
GERMS are good friends of an ILL
kept ice box and must be contin-
ually fought
HOT sal-soda water and soda is ideal
for the weekly scalding.
ICE should be rinsed and carefully
placed in the ice chamber; water in
bottles may be placed here.
JOINTS and hinges must be strong
and reliable a loosely hung door is
responsible for much waste of ice.
KEEP butter and milk covered on
the topmost shelf, that they may
