kERosENr VS.. MOTHS.

One seasons trial will convince any
housekeeper that kerosene is more eff
ficacious than moth balls as a proven
tive method. This suggestion first came
from a furrier, who merely ties up his
customers furs for storage in paper
covered boxes and sprays them with
kerosene. A mothproof trunk can be
easily prepared by sprinkling kerosene
In the bottom and four corners of the
trunk. If there are trays, treat them
in the same way. Spread one or two
newspapers on the bottom to absorb
any excess of oil. Then pack in your
suits, furs and blankets. In four months
spray in little more kerosene to re-
new the odor. 1t leaves no trace of
grease and couple of hours in the
open dispels any odor In the clothes.
But usually there is none.

to the waiter with much dignity:

The waiter seemed about to protest
again, but thought better Of it and went
away. While he was gone, looked
round and found every one within hear

further, saw another waiter setting
down before another man plate con

HUNGARY is SEEKING
ADVANTAGES FROM WAR
One Party Strives for Predominance
in Monarchy; Another for
Independence.

LONDON, January 1s.-The Morning
Post prints long article from it's
Hungarian correspondent in Budapest
who points out that there are two dis
tinct and almost parallel political
movements in Hungary which are
striving for public support.
The first movement, according to the
correspondent, is led by Count Tisza
the Hungarian premier. who is desir-
GUS of counterbalancing the aims of the
extreme independence party and build
ing up strong party to take advan-
tage of the political situation to secure
predominance in the dual monarchy for
Hungary Count Tisza is endeavoring
to push his ideas throughout the dual
monarchy and the correspondent be-
lieves Austria will have to side with
him. as should Count Tisza join the ex-
treme independents the situation for
Austria would be grave
The second situation, the correspon-
dent continues, aims at realizing the
pletely independent Hungary, which is
hlso supported by many influential
men.
But" the correspondent concludes,
at should not be forgotten that such
well known politicians as Count An
Grassy, Koloman Sell and Count APP
pWonyi are convinced of the righteous
ness of the Germanic cause and desire
to see Hungary fighting it out to d
victorious end"

AMSTERDAM, via London, January
1s.-The Echo Beige says that Gen. Won
Bissing, governor general of the Bel
gian territory occupied by the Ger
mans, has issued the following procla-
nation at Brussels:
"The governor general declares OFF,
cially that the assertion concerning the
arrest of Cardinal Mercier is totally
unfounded. The German authorities
never dreamed of interfering with the
liberty of a prince of the church in the
exercise of his ecclesiastical functions.
His pastoral, however, contained pas
sages which were injuri us to Germany
and which consequently could not be
overlooked by the German authorities.
Nevertheless, out of re.pect to the
sacredness of his palace and in order
not to offend the sentiments of the
faithful, we have not prohibited the
reading of the pastoral in The churches.
The governor general limited himself
to taking police measures demanded by
the situation"
The Tijds Rosendaal correspondent
asserts that the German prohibition OF
Cardinal Mercier, primate of Belgium,
leaving his palace at Malfnes. has
never been withdrawn.
