for the Easter trade from very difficult to supply, since it is nee essary for the little bunnies to be not more than a few days old on Easter Sunday, They quickly outgrow the size, moste1in demand by the Easter trade. s7
 The young of the native born Anaeri- can rabbits are a grayish white in col or. Thercoaor makes all the difference in the world when it comes to selling them at Easter.
 The growth Of late of the Belgian hare industry has made a large supply of their young available at Easter. but the color is not satisfactory. They are reddish brown in color and slightly lar ger than the older breeds. It is hoped by the trade that the young of the Bel gtan hare will eventually come into fa- vor, thus solving the difficult problem of the Easter rabbit supply.
 Illustrated Is an Easter bunny that came to. live with two little boys. These little boys have a game which they invariably play on Easter morn ing Hunting 1ttei eggs's it is called. Their mamma buys candy eggs in beautiful co1ors. and on the night be- fore Easter when the kiddies are sluna- boring she makes little nests of hay, using as a foundation old hats; then she fills these nests with the colored candy Easter eggs and secretes them in the most unheard of places. With shouts of glee these youngsters pass the early morning hours of Easter day searching for these nests.

ous for children. The mothers reply, why. So-and-so's child lived through it-I guess mine wi11.' Probably if mothers tried these socks for awhile themselves they would not use them so much for their children.
 For school clothes plain washable dresses and suits are best. School is not the place to start rivalry in the clothes line. Ornaments detract the child's attention from his lessons
 Caps are better than hats. Hats are of necessity thrown prorniscuously together. A cotton bag bearing the chiid's name in fndelible ink and made to 1t when folded in the pocket. which every coat should have, can be used by the- child when in school to hold his caps mittens. rubbers and Ieggings. This slight precautton prevents loss and soil to yourself and confusion to fine teacher.
 Rubber hats are preferable to un- brellas.
 School clothes should, where possi- ble, be kept for school use Clothes have a great deal to do with the at titude of the mind. If you wear your party clothes at all times you can't feel especially elated when you start out to a party.

EFHAT genial philosopher and cheer
 fu1 wit, Sydney Smith. who lived and laughed for three quarters of 9 century, said: sT am glad was not born before teass and also t+Thank God for tea-what would the world do without tea? How did it exist7''
 Perhaps there are many who, find nothing but tannin, that bitter and pickering ingredient, in the tea they taste with condescension and sniff at with tiptilted nose But there are oth- CTS. many, who find cheer and comfort without compare in a well made cup full of tea, especially when it Is served in a delicate, fragile bit of eggsheu china, it's aroma rising in fragrant steam from pellucfd, golden depths, for tea, properly brswed, should always be a pale gold, never dark and never bit ter, and it should always be hot, unless. indeed, the travesty we call "iced tea'' is partaken of on a hot day in mid- summer.
 A rule that must be strictly followed if tea is to be good says water should be freshly drawn. the kettle clean and the boiling point just fully reached This is the first thing to prepare for. When the water is very hot fill the tea pot, if one is to be used; the cups, if a tea ball is the selected method. Let it remain long enough to heat the vessel, which ever it is; pour out, and, if the first, put the leaves in and cover to let them heat, too, allowing one teaspoon full for each cupfu1 and "one over for the pot.''
 Measure the boiling water, unless it is known beforehand exactly how many cupfuls the pot will hold, and pour on all the water needed; let steep no more than three minutes before serving. If left longer fresh water should be added to prevent the sleeping bringing the bitter taste. If the tea ball is used a1- low it to remain in the cup until the beverage is a delicate golden tint; it is strong enough then and should be very hot. If water that has been boiling any time is used the tea will taste insipid; if left to steep too long it will taste bitter and be very hurtful to stomach and nerves.

An important feature of this and sew
eral of the other indictments is the
charge that Fay and his associates had
designs on American munition bearing
ships as wen as the merchant ships Of
the allied nations. In this connection
the murder indictment reads;
"And among the vessels aforesaid were
divers vessels, the names OF which are to
the grand jurors unknown, which be-

NO URGENT NEED
FOR BELGIAN AID
Chairman Of New York Committee for
Relief in Belgium So Declares--He
Also Announces Withdrawal
of Linden w. Bates from
the Work.

| New York, Dec. Announcement that
for the time being there is no urgent need
for application of American charity foI
feeding Belgium is made in a statement
given out last night, which also an
nounces that Lindon w. Bates, the Amer.
lean civil engineer who has been direct
ing the work of the American committee
for more than year, has resigned.
The statement, which was given out
by A. j. Hemphill, chairman Of the New
York committee for relief Of Belgium, is
as follows
|. "The following resolution has been
adopted by the committee which was
recently requested by President Wilson
to cooperate in the United States with
the work OF the commission for relief
in Belgium:
"The recent action of the president of
the United States asking this committee
to share in the work of the commission
for relief in Belgium in the United
States, was prompted by desire, SO
far as might be, to coordinate and CEN
traize the endeavor. Out of it neces-
sarily came some charges in the plan of
operation. For the time being, there is
no urgent need for application of Amer
lean charity for food to the distressed
country, that department Of the work
having been, for the time being, other
wise provided. As result OF this modi
fled condition, Mr.. Lindon w. Bates, who
for more than a year has given OF his
time and energy without compensation,
has resigned his official connection and
taken well earned leave Of great under
taking. The committee called into be-
ing by the presidents invitation cannot
permit this retirement without placing
on record its sincere appreciation of the
great work which Mr.. Bates and his vol
unteer associates have done. Such a
great humanitarian undertaking, entered
upon when everything in the world was
in state OF chaos, brought to state of
high efficiency, and carried on in such |
manner as to challenge criticism and |
invite admiration at every turn, de-
serves commentator on our part and the |
gratitude of every one.
