w4ArLIouoR MONEY WOULD DO.

The American Grocer enumerates some of the benefits which might ac- crue to the citizens of this country if the annual drink bill, S1,724,607, 7,519, were turned into legitimate channels, namely:
 Tt would pay interest and sinking fund on the amount necessary to buy comfortable homes for nearly nine million families.
 Tt would buy a suit of clothes for every man and boy and dress for every woman and girl in the United States. with enough left over to buy a pair of shoes for everybody.
 If the money spent for drink were spent for homes tenancy would disap- pear in the United States within one generation.
 "If it were spent for education every child in the country would receive a college education.
 If it were spent for automobiles, every family in the country would own a car before 1924.
 "If it were spent for religion, it would within less than decade carry the Gospel to every living creature.
 "If it were spent for railroads, it would buy every mile of railroad in the United States in ten years.
 If it were spent for government it would pay all the expenses of the United States, with enough left over to pay the bonded debt of all the states of the Union"

AusrRIA,s ANSWER.

EVasive to the extent that it does not deal with a single one of the de- mands which were made upon it in the note from this country, and in keeping with the advance information which was given out concerning it makes the Austro- Hungarian reply de- cidedly unsatisfactory.
 To all intents and purposes Aus tria's foreign minister wants to talk over the circumstances which surround the smelling and sinking of the steam ship Ancona, and the international law applicable to such cases, when he vir- tually asks this country for a bill of particulars, but how weak is the eff fort for delay is shown by that DOT lion of the reply which in criticising the attitude of this country declares The note also fails to give any in formation whatsoever as to the num- Der, names and more precise fate of the American citizens who were on board of the said steamer at the crit lcal moment"
 The fact of the matter is that it makes little difference whether there was one or more American lives lost, or one or more American citizens in jured, for by the loss of one there Is reflected the disposition of the submarine commander as we'll as if the number lost had been a hundred. The protection which was due de- fenseless non -combatants was not giv- en and it Is the wanton disregard therefor which this country wants disavowed and the additional assur- hnce as well that such disrespect for the rights of neutrals and non-com- batants will not be displayed in the future.
 At this late date Austria expresses regret at the fate of the innocent vic tims, but so far as the note gives any assurance it can be expected that such acts will be repeated whenever op- portunity permits. It is therefore high ly unsatisfactory.

FIRST AID CABINETS.

Every household. that means to say every mother, ought to have a little box, cabinet or other safe place al- ways filled with a few essentials which will prevent unfortunate conse- quences.
 Sticking plaster in various sizes ought to be the first thing in this cabinet.
 A small bottle of olive oil comes next Onguetine for burns is also ex- cellent, because it does away with the blister in the case of burns. And you know that it is the open blister which sometimes causes tetanus.
 Phenol sodique, peroxide, carbolic acid diluted at 50 per cent, boracic acid, to wash out sores before put ting the dressing on, are articles not to be dispensed with. Turpentine is also a splendid thing against infec- ton of sores from rusty nails.
 Do not let us forget the almost in evitable bottle of castor oil or milk of magnesia in case of fever and in digestion. small quantity of es- sence of peppermint and spirits of ammonia should also be added, be- cause sick stomach is a frequent occurrence with the little ones. A box of bicarbonate of soda, together with one filled with epson salts, are indispensable.

General, when the Emperor shall have given sepulchre to his thousands of dead. we shall be ready for him again."
 An estimated proportion of three Germans to one Frenchman buried in the battlefeIds of the Grand Couronne de Nancy. extending in a semi-circle from Gerbevillers to Pont-a- -MOussCn on the east bank of the MOselle, na- turally takes no account of the thOus- ands of Bavarians dead removed at night by rail toward Metz. after the battle of Sainte Genevieve, which de- cided the issue of the struggle for Nancy; nor does it comprise the heavy death roll of the French in an nexed Lorraine, just over the from tier, in the diseaster of Morhange
 The evidence of those who have visited all the battlefields of Lorraine and those who helped pick up tE } to the belief that taking the French German dead carried from the fiaid of battle there is no exaggeration in the estimate of three Germans to one Frenchnan as the proportion of those killed in the operations in the attack and defense of Nancy
 PiOus hands are caring for these cement cemeteries, even so close to the battle front that the German heavy artillery often rakes up the sod and sends the crosses flying in sDlinters- Flowers are planted on all the French graves and the tri-COlOr floats over many of them. The graves of the Germans are saCredly protect ed but not decorated.

ITALY IN THE BALKANS

Even though the efforts made by the allies to prevent the overrunning of Servia by the Austro- German and Bulgarian armies was not effective, because it was not possible to send such a large force as was required to give the Servian army the needed as- ststance in time, developments show that it is not the intention of the en- tente powers to abandon operations in that locality. The British and French forces recognize the importance of retaining Salonik as a base for fu- ture activity in the Balkans where they will be able to get assistance from the fleet as a support for the armies which are now engaged in construct ing Notifications about that city, and which are steadily being augmented.

That gap became the tomb of the entire regiment. The cemetery of St. GeneVieVe is not so dense but far more extended than that of the Loisy Gap.

GLASS BUTTONS.

Metallic effects in laces and braids are causing much comment and admi- ration, but not any more so than the attractive buttons of metal. They may be of gold, silver or gunmetal. They may be purchased as small as a pea or as large as a silver dollar.
 Buttons of glass are very popular. The buttons made to produce span gled effects deserve particular men, ton. These can be procured in a variety of color combinations. They are made especially to be used in connection with the spangled bands, ornaments and other trimmings so much in vogue just now. Other glass buttons are ornamented with narrow bands of silver, which are visible be- meath the glaSsy surface.

Stories of the War
Greatest Cemetery in World.

French Lorraine is the greatest cemetery in the world. Colonies of dead, marked by lines of crude wood en crosses, lie everywhere under newly formed sod at the edges of woods and thickets and in ravines - Germans and French. The shifting of battle scenes may be traced by fol- lowing them. They are thiCkest there where was fought the great battle for Nancy that began with the retreat of the French from Morhange and reached it's climax during the battle of the Marne. The number has been continually swelled since in the fourteen months struggle in the Woervre and the Nosges.

BURLESCN AND THE PORK BAR.

It takes considerable courage for one man to step in and block the plans of an organized body even when he iS convinced that he is conscientiously doing his duty, for it is manifestly easier to follow the course of least resistance, but Postmaster General Burleson apparently stands in that position today by his opposition to a new postoffice building in South Car olina.
 If the report is true, Mr. Bur1eson has given thought to the interests of the country and the condition of the treasury by refusing to become a par ty to pork barrel methods, although all the necessary action had been secured barring his signature His party in congress had authorized the expendi- ture of $75, ,O00 for the erection of an attractive federal building in a South Carolina town where the population is given as 500 and where the cost of maintaining the department office out side of the pOstmasters salary was S240 year. For the purpose of sat isfying the request for big city building in this hamlet congress had, under it's policy of voting about ev- erything asked for of this kind, sane toned the spending of this large sum in an out Of the way insignificant town where the prospects are that it will be a great many years before such a building will be needed, if 1t ever is, the interest charge on the construc- ton work amounting to twelve times what the present rental expense Is.
 Even though it was in the south, MT. Burleson looked upon the plans as too elaborate and unwarranted and he proceeded to block it. It is un- fortunate that such judgment is not exercised more often, but he must nevertheless be given credit for the commendable stand which he has taken in this instance

army of 120,000 into Albania. This may be for the purpose of defending that state against invasion, but such a force is capable of offensive oper- ations and once started on such a campaign it could be a serious mem ace to the central powers acting with the reorganized Servian army.
 It is of much significance because it knocks the foundation out from in under the contention that Italy would not participate in the general cause and the belief that 1t was content to secure that portion of Austria for which it has long had ambitions. Italy has no great love for Servia because it does not sympathize with that coun- try's long standing ambition to get a port on the Adriatic, but 1t apparently views with greater alarm the advance of the Teutons and recognizes the part it can play in stopping it.

TO MAKE FRINGE.

To fringe with the least possible trouble, clip the edge of the crash or linen up from the bottom a distance of six or eight inches. Each clip should be the depth of the fringe you intend 10 make. The drawing out of these shorter threads will often prove the material. It is well to know, also, that the drawing of linen threads is made easier if the dressing has first been removed. Brush a heavy father made from good white soap along the space from which you wish to draw the threads. Let this dry in and it will disturb the original dressing so that the threads may be more readily drawn out

TO WASH LACES

White laces that have become dis colOred from perspiration should not be put immediately into hot water. Soak them first in cold water rub ping them well with pure soap. If the pan of water is set out in the sun it will aid in the bleaching process Later rinse and squeeze the lace in warm water and soapsuds, rinsing again in clear water very slightly blued. Laces may also be bleaChed snowy white by basting them to card board-an old bandbox cut up will answer nicely and setting the card board out in the sun. The laces must be wet when pasted to the card board. When bleached and dry they will need no ironing.

PROTECTING OURSELVES.

In the arrest of Paul Koenig of the Hamburg American line and two others charged with conspiring in this country to destroy the Welland canal, between Lakes Erie and Ontario, the secret service gives evidence of being on it's job. From the time when an attempt was made to blow up an in ternational bridge between Canada and this country down to the present there has been constant activity upon the part of representatives of central DOW CTS working throughout the nation to strike at the enemy at the expense of this country. This has been revealed through long list of bomb plots and acts of incendiarism carried on in American ports amounting to a well organized and persistent campaign of destruction without regard to who suf- fers as long as the entente powers feel some of the effects of it.
 It has taken some time for this country to act in protecting its own rights and in running down some of the guilty agents, and the forcing of the recall of Dr. Dumba and the sub sequent action in the cases of Boy-Ed and von Papen give promise of no re- lief from the distressing conditions un- less there is proper action in prose- cutting the others who are concerned in carrying out such deeds.
 This country cannot rest with the few convictions that have been se- cured, but must be everIastingIy wig liant in securing the punishment of all others who conspire against the peace and industrial activity of this country. Such is not taking sides, for the same thing would be incumbent upon the United States if representa- tives of the allies were engaged in such operations, but simply a protection of our own interests

PROPER REGARD FOR SAFETY.

Serious has been the handicap which has been placed on transportation in New England as the result of the storm of a week ago. It came at a time when the railroads had their hands full trying to move the large amount of freight and it served to increase the congestion, but it was not the freight alone which was affected for service of all kinds was seriously interfered with by the demoralization of the electric zones between New Ha- ven and New York.
 It was a trying situation from which the road is convalescing but 1t prom ises to be some time before it will be able to get back to normal conditions, for though trains have been gotten through they have been off schedule and fewer than before the storm. It is to the credit of the road, however, that during this period of reconstruc- tion it has avoided any serious acci- dents. The policy of "be sure you are right, then go ahead" has been care fully followed, even to the taking off of two of the fast trains the operation of which could not be carried on with any degree of satisfaction or safety.
 The fact of the matter was that SPSSo GOuiA AAOL OO SSSuAGu anu 4I1d1l- tained with safety and between the two, safety deserved the greater consideration. It was a case where the wiser course was called for and adopted, for with the block signals badly crippled a new method of train operation had to be used. This meant slower time and fewer trains, but the fact that thereby the lives of the passengers were not endangered and the complete tying up of the system was prevented by not inviting accidents was of enough inn portance to warrant the course and the results speak for themselves.

Hartford papers report the arrival there of a lad who wanted to do some thing to get his name in the papers and who therefore started out for walk to New Orleans. At Hartford he found a letter from his mother await ing him and it touched him so that he abandoned the trip and went back to her. after being properly interviewed oy a reporter. She was lonesome that was all. but it is more than likely that the traveller also was a lonesome lad, and lonesomer the farther he got from his mother. Fame isn't everything Waterbury Republican.

TO STARCH LINGERIE.

Many housewives experience great difficulty in laundering fine lingerie, and so forth. The chief difficulty seems to lie in giving them just the proper degree of cripness. Rinsing them in a solution of borax gives the right degree of stiffness and renders them just like new. Two heaping tablespoonfuls of borax to five quarts of water is a good proportion. This is also excellent for thin dresses trim med with lace.
