 Whether it results in accomplishing the excellent things expected of it, or only becomes an inquisitorial bureau for corporations remains to be deter mined from it's operation. Upon its accomplishments will judgment of the administration effort rest. It must succeed to be recognized as a val- uabIe piece of legislation or as an Improvement upon the present anti trust law, and it's suceess, if it proves wise undertaking, depends largely upon the type of men selected to guide it.
 It demands the appointment of men who are qualified to render the high est kind of service to the country, re- gardless of politics. 1t calls flor men who know finance, corporations and business who can, while inspiring con fidence. adjust and advise in accord- ance with the law.

When it is announced that New fork has the lowest infant mortality ate of any of the first class cities in he country, it reveals among other :hings just how much can be accom- 'lished by proper direction in over .on1ing adverse conditions.

FREEMAN FOR CONGRESS.

Tn convention where there was no slate, where harmony prevailed and where only men of merit were sup ported for nomination, the republicans of the Second congressional district have selected a strong candidate for congressman by the choice of Richard F. Freeman Of New London.
 MT. Freeman is a young man of abil- ity. He is thoroughly in touch with the district and it's needs and we'll equipped to. render the service in it's iJella9f which it's representative will be required to do. He stands high ill the ranks of the party, a lawyer tof excellent standing before the bar of Connecticut and is in every way en- titled to the confidence of the entire district. That he will render faith ful and efffcfent service if sent to con- 9ress cannot be questioned.
 There was a time, not so long ago, when such a nomination was equiva- lent to an election. There is no req son why it should not be so today. Though the district has been enlarged it is nevertheless today solid1y repub- aican. Two years ago when the split in the party forces was experienced and 4,742 voted for the third party candidate, the democratic candidate was handed the office by only 5f5 plu- rality. Being substantial congressional timber Mr. Freeman should have no difficulty in overcoming such a, situa- tfon in a district where the republican ranks are more united than two years ago. The time is at hand for the send ing to Washington of a man whose purposes and principles are in accord with the majority of the people of the district, and such man is avail able in nominee Freeman.

New York has done remarkable work which should inspire every other community to undertake such com mendable activity. Few have such conditions to contend with as were encountered in that city. and while it is next to impossible to tell just how many babies owe their lives to advice in their behalf, that there is de- crease in the death statistics indi- cates full compensation for all the time and money devoted to the cause.

Joinvi1le is pictur- esquely situated on a branch of the Marne. and on the slope of a hill on which stood the chateau of the Join Villef family. Grand AvranviIle occu- pies the site of an ancient Roman city, from which numerous antiquities have been taken, including a single mosaic 60 feet long and 45 feet broad. Fancouleurs is a smalHtown in this re- zion, where Joan of Arc made known her mission to the Sire de Baudricourt and begged him to send her to the French courts. About 13 miles further on is the little town of Domreny, where stands the modest cottage in which Joan of Arc was born. Beyond this point is the town of Mirecourt famed for it's embroideries, laces and AASli uItlt1lts, anu ~ ffflSS SOulnSdSC CT which lies the fortress of Epinal.
 Provins.-A town of northern France, S9 miles east of southeast of Paris by rail and 55 miles southeast of Cha Ions, at the junction of the Durta in with the Voulzie. Its population is about 5000.

RECIPES.

Simple Fruit Punch-Dissolve a pound and a quarter of sugar in a quart of water, boiling; add the grated rind of one lemon and one orange, be- ing careful that only the yellow rind is used. as the least bit of the white will give it bitter taste. Stir in two tablespoons of gelatine that has soaked for an hour in half a cup of water. simmer the whole for five minutes till the gelatine has thoroughly dissolved. Take from the fire and when cool add extract of orange or lemon to suit the taste. Allow to get cold and put in a freezer and stir slowly and evenly till frozen.

KEEPING FISH.

The very best way to keep fish in camp Cor any where without ice) is to scale, clean and behead them; then string them by cord through their tails and hang them, head downward, in 8 dry, breezy, shady place. No fish should be eaten that have been lying in the sun or that have begun to soft en. It is in neglected fish that ptomaine poison forms.
 Do not put fish on string to keep in water until you start home. It is slow and painful death to them. If you have neither live-box nor net with you. kill and bleed every fish as soon as caught. The flesh will be much Irner and far more palatable. Fish and meat should be hung high in the open, for it is curious fact that blow flies work close to the ground and seldom bother food hung over ten feet from the ground. while it is claimed that game or fish suspended at a

MOTH PREVENTIVE.

A very good way to prevent moths from nesting in your clothing is to pack the trunk or drawer where the same may be stored a bottle contain ing two ounces of ch1oroform. Have the cork of the bottle fastened in firm 1y, but punctured in two or three places, so as to allow the fumes to es- cape. This is not only a protection from the matured moths but kills the eggs without injuring the fabric.

VALUE OF sUsNbARTN Es.

Inventors, n1anufacturers of parts and builders of submarines are nat Hurally much interested in the exploits of the submarines which have accom- panied the European war. They indi- cate the importance of these small vessels in every navy and insofar as they have had an opportunity to den- onstrate their effectiveness they have been successful.
 Such has prompted the advocates of these vessels to place greater stress upon their value and urge greater ex- penditures in their behalf That they will be given more consideration now that it has been possible to try out their ability is undoubted, but that they will replace the other types of vessels cannot be conceded As the New York Tribune says: 4eThe function of the submarine in naval warfare is essentially defensive. It is the nat urai weapon of g. weaker power try ing. to wear down the strength of a superior adversary. It can destroy ar mored cruisers and battleships. But it cannot do their work in estahlisn- ing sea control, blockading coasts, se- curing communications and guarding commerce. Even after the submarines of two hostile navies have made dam aging inroads on each others line of battle strength the mastery of the sea will still have to be fought for and awarded to the bigger and better fleet of fighting ships
 The submarine has been given a big boost in it's process of development and a greater value will be attached to this branch Of the navy for de- fense work in the future, but the coun- try which requires navy will not be able to get along solely with sub marines, important. clever and destruc- tive engines of war though they are.
