When 1t is necessary to beat up
holstered furniture and 1t cannot be
taken outdoors. good way is to cover
1t with damp cloth and beat; the
dust clings to the cloth.
When using dish pan, turn the
handles so that the dishes will not be
nicked by striking against the ham
dies.
Coarse sand paper kept near at
hand will save much scraping of dish
es which are scratched.
When hemming children's dresses
on the machine use very fine thread,

Aria Of Peace Founded on War.

Ruskin had little sympathy with the
ideals and aims Of the pact6sts. AL
the pure and noble arts Of peace are
founded on war" he told the members
Of the Royal Military academy, Wool.
wich, In 1868. mo great art ever yet
rose on earth but among nation of
soldiers. There is no art among a
shepherd people II 1t remains at peace.
There Is no art among an agricuI-
tural people If 1t remains at peace.
Commerce Is barely consistent with
fine art, but cannot produce it. Manu-
facture not only Is unable to produce

seeds Of 1t exist. There Is no great
art possible to a nation but that which
Is based on battle"

THE WAR SITUATION.

The news reports that filter through
the censor lines are so vague and in
most cases so conflicting that it Is i'm.
possible to obtain concrete idea of the
great conflict now waging between the
Germans on one side and the Allies on
the other.
There is no doubt but that terrific
battle Is NOV in progress. This has
been waging for more than twenty-five
days. Reports come one day that one
side has advanced and gained some
ground while on the following or even
on the same day they lose as much on
another part of the battle line. Sue.
ceSseS are varying and indefiRite as to
the final result Of the battle. The line
OF the battle seems to extent in
