STATE FINANCES.

q In7view of the state, treasurer.Ssre- sports for the past fiscal year there is disclosed the best reason fin the-.woF1d | for the insistence which has been .Nlade in behalf of a~.policy of tefffci ency fand economy in state affairs, and for . continuance in ethe eaadYocacy.o of such . policy.
 By the report it is. shown that. the Receipts for the fscaI" year were S11,- 515 5,S0stand the expenditureswere S11,- 72S,4 or an excess of expenditures over income of $212, ,604. notwithstand- ing the fact that there was raised by state tax over a million dollars and through bonds and loans over -four funded debt up over the eleven mill lion dollar mark or an addition of four million the past year.
 What more could there be which would call for a businesslike admins tration of state affairs? Isn't it time fls-t there was adopted hudget sys- tenn for Connecticut, and study made of it's taxation needs? At the present rate of debt increase it isn't going to be many years before the state will be called upon for interest equal to the gamount which it paid as a state tax the past year. PIunging ahead into debt is an easy matter. It was only seven years ago that the state was .pEiding itself on a surplus, but it is a vastly different story now and the bigaproblem ahead for the comingfses- sion of the general assembly is to take hold of this financial condition with the determination that it must ,abe rectifed. If the same concern is givsnIto theAstate'st tbusiness:a as would Ee o,the successfulsco or-pri- later enterprise itswf1I be.

DENIM PoRTlEREs.

With the autumn days the housewifs has turned her attention to the refur- nishing of her house or apartment. If she is forced to consider expense and desires to get the best possible effect for the least possible expenditure she is deyoting her, attention to cotton and linen things. Craftsman linens end canvases are pretty and durable for draperies, but they are rather expen- sive. For these materials a good qua1- ity of denim is a splendid substitute For portieres between rooms denim of a dull leaf green or a bronze green, stenciled on both sides in a simple running. conventional pattern. is very pretty. If a' couch cover and pillows are needed they could be made to match the portieres. For the bedroom and dining room unbleached muslin on which straight bands of cretonne have been stitched, or a design has been cut from the cretonne and appli- qued on to the material, makes cur tains that are very SerViceable for winter. They not only look we'll and launder beautifully, but their heavy folds keeps out the cold that will come in about the windows.

USE OF MIRRORS.


 Use mirrors economically, make ev- cry one count.
 Place one, after the French fashion, over the fire place to reflect the room.
 Or place one. in English fashion, between the windows at the end of a long, narrow room to emphasize the light there.
 Place one where it will reflect a charming glimpse of the garden through & window opposite it.
 Place one in the hall opposite the entrance into the drawing room or living room to give a sense of spa cfouSness
 Place one on dark wall, where it will catch the light.
 Place one in a bedroom where it will reflect the mirror of the dressing table. Remember the flowers in front of a mirror are twice as attractive as flowers placed against a wall. Remember that the ideal frame for a mirror in inconspicHous, IS much as possible part of the wall where it hangs

LEAVING VERA CRUZ.

What appears to be final notice is tsiven of the determination of this gov ernment to remove the troops now stationed at Vera Cruz. If what has Fbeen announced for the third time is carried out the evacuation of the chief port of Mexico, which has been held Esand directed for a number of months by General Funston and a, small body
 of troops, will be commenced next Monday.
 Vera Cruz was taken as a rebuke and threat to the Huerta government
 The city has prof1ted by the sacrifice s sof lives which was necessary to ob- tain it but it would be difficult to point out any benefit which this country has gained, or any particular conspicu-
 ous service which was rendered there
 by for the pacificatfon of Mexico
 It is true that Huerta, has gone. That
 was bound to happen in time anyway,
 but thus far. there appears to be no improvement in the conditions in that republic. The leaders who have suc-
 ceeded him have been unable to agree upon even a provisional government and are at present fighting amongst themselves for control. Strange as it may seem all are anxious, and have
 been for months that this country re- call it's troops. The continuance of the force under General Funston has been the cause of much annoyance to them, even to the point where the small body of American troops has been threatened by much larger num-
 bers. Having given Mexico no help through their stay at Vera Cruz there Is no reason for their retention. It is to be hoped that there will be no cause for revoking the order. If Mexico an tfcipates such a move as relief, the eEUnfted States soldiers at Vera Cruz kcertainly will.

When the heel turns the body turns with it and in that lopsided position it throws deli- cateIy balanced internal organs out of place and adds to the trouble by put ting pressure on a whole army 1T nerves The natural result is a head ache, and aches in the body; too.

A physician gives the following in- structions for checking nose bleed:
 Grasp the nostrils with the thumb and index finger. Apply the pressure as close to the bony part of the nose as possible. Drop the head gently for ward. Breathe through the mouth. The pressure may reach the bleeding vessel. If not. the nose will fill with blood, which will clot in 8 few mfu- utes. After the clot has had time to form (ten to fifteen minuteS) gradu- ally release the pressure. Leave the clot undisturbed for an hour or more.

CREAMY COCOA

To make a delicious. creamy cup of cocoa or chocolate, add a pinch of salt to the usual ingredients. When the whole comes to a boil beat with a Do- yer egg beater for two minutes; the scum, which is so unsightly and dis tasteful, will not form. A marshnaI- low placed in each cup before pouring the cocoa rises to the top and takes the place of whipped cream as we'll as giving a delightful flavor.
