RAISING THE MONEY.

The question of providing the nec- essary revenue to meet the expendi- lures that will be required by this country, however extensive the plan may be which is endorsed by con- gress for adequate preparedness, is bound to be an important one before the national legislators during the coming session. This has long been recognized and is emphasized by the recept statement put forward by Sec retaEy McAdoo concerning the finances of the country and the recommenda- t;onA which he makes that taxation Ds Increased rather than resort to bond issues for supplying the cash whiGh it is indicated will be needed.
 Tie suggestion is made that an inn portSnt contribution would be made through the repeal of that portion of the sugar schedule which provides that sugar will come into the country free after next spring but continuing re- luced tariff on that commodity The fact that the sugar tax was cut has re- suited in tine loss of many million of dollars ever since it went into ef- feet, and at a time when the country has been in need of just such revenue points out as nothing else can the ad- visibility of not only stopping as soon as possible the provision that it will come in free but when the country is looking about for additional sources of revenue the very fact that a tre- nendous loss has already been sus- :ained through the wiping out of the government income which was for nerly received from sugar, it would lppear to be time to give serious con- ;ideration to the return of the duty which was taken away. It is the in- :erests of the country which should 'eceiEe first consideration and the
 act that the action taken has proved detrimental should be sufficient to block it's effort in the future.

BOILED EGGS.

Hard boiled eggs lend themselves to a variety of ways of decoration. For boiled fish or that covered with sauce the following is suitable: Hard boil two eggs, then divide each in half carefully, taking cut the yolk. Cut a little white off the bottom of each cup. so that it may stand we'll, then fill them with chopped parsley. When the fish has been dished up place the yolks in a gravy etrainer, then press them through with wooden spoon; they will fall like a shower of golden dust upon the fish. In conclusion, be careful to send the fish to table really hot,

TO COLOR HOSE.

As the hose of delicate colors, just now so popular, are quite expensive one clever woman colored several pairs of white silk ones, which had become yellow in the laundry, by the follow ing method: As she wished them to be a delicate pink she used a ten inch square of ordinary red crepe paper. She put this in ] pan of luke warm water until the color all came out. Then she dipped the hose up and down in the water until they were the shade desired, then dried them. She then rinsed them in plain water and dried again. Other delicate shades may be obtained by using different colors of crepe paper.

FoRp,s PEACE PARTY.

Very little encouragement is being secured by Henry Ford in trying to get together representative body Of Americans, including leading na- tional and state figures for the pur- pose of taking them to Europe as peace advocates. With the exception of a few instances MT. Ford's invita- ton is turned down and variety of reasons are given including too busy" and while nothing might be considered more important than bringing peace to Europe in which most anyone would be glad to have a hand, yet those who give that answer or it's equivalent readily recognize that the chances of MT. Ford's scheme suc- ceeding are so slight that it does not warrant the devotion of the time that would be required.
 Saturated with the idea of bringing about peace Mr. Ford proposes to rush in where those he would have go with him understand the folly of treading. It is recognized that the time is not ripe and that the conflict has not progressed to the stage where either side is willing to make the sac- riffces which the other would demand. Such peace party cannot tell the belligerents that they have been whip ped or expect to gain support for their program through setting forth the tre- mendous losses which are being made or the effects which the war is bound to have upon the future. All of that is as evident to those engaged in the horrible combat as 1t can be made through any picture which MT. Ford's party could present.
 The fact of the matter is that the war has not progressed to the point where peace if established would be permanent and until that is in sight it is a waste of time and effort and a risk of friendship to try to bring about peace.

December.

Mir. Editor: Now then lets all makers of bad weather and get ready for one of the most delight ful month Of December ever known. All ''seers'' who predict terrible weath- CT for December, 1915, will awake January 1. 1916, with the knowledge not belief-that they know nothing about the weather
 There may be a fair cold day, but unless all my calculations are very, very wroIg. the bad days will be few. By bad I mean, cold and severe storms. There will be considerable rain in De- cember but I don't think there will be many snows, if there is any they will either turn to rair or soon melt away.
 December. 1915, is to be "a poor mans month.''
 In my November predictions, every storm came just on the exact dates mentioned, and I shall be greatly dis appointed if December is not as have predicted.
 The storm periods are 1st to 3rd, 7th to 9th, 18th to 14th. 18th to 22nd, 23rd to 26th, and a heavy fall of rain or perhaps snow to end up the month.

A HANDY LAUNDRY BAG.

Make the bag of cretonne with draw strings and any size you prefer. But you, want to have the back cut about four inches longer than the front. Bind in and make buttonholes in it, sew buttons on the front, now you can turn this right up and button it. All you have to do when in a hurry is to unbutton the bag and your clothes will fall out. I think you vii find it more convenient than to stop and open the top in the usual way.

to be carried on without any effort being made to stop 1t can be readily understood. It is not going to be many years before the robins, blue birds and bobolinks will be a rarity, and the number killed for such pur- poses will steadily increase instead of decrease.
 That the Aubudon societies have done excellent work in behalf of the birds cannot be questioned, but where they were once needed to give pro- lection to the feathered songsters they now have plenty of work ahead to prevent them from being extermi- mated, and the cause in which they are interested is one in which the whole country should lend support.
