FRESH AIR IN THE BEDROOM.

It is quite a problem where there are young children to arrange for plenty of fresh air at night with out having a draft or too much damp ness. But a youngster who has be- come accustomed to open windows is much less prone to take cold than one put to sleep in an illventilated apartment that is not only lacking in fresh air, but has not even been properly aired during the day.
 When children kick off the covers at night they should first of all not be too heavily wrapped up, and in the second place they should be put in sleeping bags until they are old enough to be trained to regular bed clothes. A baby really does not re- quire regular coverings except sheet underneath and a soft quilt on cold nights if the little body is comfort ably wrapped in a sleeping bag or a nightie drawn into bag at a good distance below the feet. In such a contrivance always allow plenty of room to kick if the baby is to learn to like sleeping in a bag; otherwise it is likely to produce restlessness.

where all effort for reform was de- feated and the wide open town of the unforgotten past fully sanctioned.
 Reno prof1ted as the result of the go as you please policy and when the change in the divorce law was made requiring a years residence instead of six months, there was a wonderful change. Business in many lines which thrived off the temporary residents from other states immediately went bad. It was not the same Reno and the effect of the reform was such that the loss of the financial benefits out weighed moral improvement and at the first opportunity reform has been cast to the winds in move to bring back the good old times.
 The action does no credit to the state of Nevada or to the city of Reno It is a step backward of the worst sort, a reverential salaam to the al- mighty dollar and a deplorable act from which most any self-respectine community would shrink. It is a questionable method of making bus mess boom and from the reports ii is not a creditable part which the women, who were allowed to vote at this election for the first time took in the matter

CALLS FOR COOL, DELIBERATE
 ACTION

In spite of the feeling which grips every American at the wilful murder of twelve hundred n-combatants, in cluding 120 Americans, on the Lusi- tania, many of whom were children; in spite of the utter depravity dis played by the jubilant celebration of such an act by people of a civilized country and it's representatives in other countries, and in spite of the attempts to justify the horrible mas sacre on the ground that 1t is a war measure for which warning had been given, 1t presents a situation which calls for cool and deliberate action. It is a time when the people stand firm ly behind the government and rely upon it to handle the situation in a wise and sensible manner The pres ident has not shown a disposition to hor-headedness in international mat ters and 1t is not anticipated now.
 The act was the climax in a series of attacks upon American lives and property which started with the sink ing of the Frye and was followed by the death of Leon Thrasher on the torpedoed Falaba, the throwing of bombs at an American tanker and the loss of three lives when the Gulfight was torpedoed without warning, though flying the American flag. For such acts this government has entered upon it's protest to Germany for it's violation of all rules of war and the substitu- tion of new code to suit it's own con- ditions, and 1t has warned it that it will be held to strict accountability
 None but barbarians can look with justification upon such deeds. There is an agreed course to follow in the capture and sinking of such vessels as are not warships and this Germany has determined to ignore even to the talk ing of lives of people who were not and would not be connected with the war. The warning amounts only to a blackhand message or the note of an assassin who pays no regard to laws or to the rights of others in a deter imitation to have his own way.
 If Germany had been determined upon the sinking of the Lusitania be- cause it was carrying contraband, the only time when such action could be given the least justification would have been after the passengers and crew had been forced to leave, an act which could have been accomplished within half hour and no lives sacrificed.

KITCHEN UTENSILS.


 It is somewhat unsafe to use new t1nWare. because the surface is often covered with preparation which must be removed before using.
 new tin vessel hould be filled with boiling water made strong with soda and allowed to stand till cool enough to handle. Then the utensil should be thoroughly secured. Incidentally, if new ttnware after being secured is rubbed with lard over every part and then set in the oven until well heated through the metal will become rust proof.
 The pans must be perfectly dry be- fore rubbing with the lard
 Trays and other articles of Japanned ware may be kept to look like new with little care. Never use hot wa ter, strong suds, soda or kindred aI- kalis for cleansing, and never allow the article to drain dry, but wash with lukewarm water, a soft rag and a lit tie good white soap.
 Wipe dry and sprinkle with flour, polishing with e chamois or a bit of flannel

STOCK INSURANCE TAX.

' Even though the general assembly is rushed to get through with its bus mess at the time which has been set, 1t cannot fail to give fair considera- tion to the amendment which has been introduced to the general taxation bill as presented by Representative Peas ley of Cheshire which provides that only two-thirds of the amount collect ed on the list of October 1. 1915. on stock life and stock fire insurance companies be paid to cities and towns, and only one-thiFd of the amount on the list of 1916 and thereafter the state shall retain the entire amount.
 This amendment is in accord with the views advanced recently by MT. filling of New Haven. who pointed out that at the present time the state is collecting from such a source over three quarters of & million dollars each year. the amount last year being $780, 900, which sum is then distributed among certain towns of the state &C., cording to the residence of the stock holders. The result Is that Hart ford gets over a half million there from and a few other towns a good sized sum, but there are AT towns which get nothing and 33 others which get little or nothing.
 The companies however draw their business, not from those towns solely which share in the tax. but from every one. The whole state is the field for operations yet half the state gets noth- ing from such tax. It can be ex- pected that there will be a big pro- test against the loss of such income from the few towns which get prac- tically all the tax but when it comes to equality for all there would ap- pear to be merit in the amendment

TROLLEY EXTENSIONS.

The favorable report from the rail- road committee upon the application of the Connecticut company for the rights to extend its tracks in New London county as made in the state senate was to be expected. This system has contributed materially to the meeting of the public needs and convenience in this section. It is providing trans portation in accordance with the de- mands and 1t is but proper that it should have the right to make such extensions as are demanded It is in the interests of the people and there are as good reasons for the passage of the bill as there were for a favor able report thereon.
 Such right being obtained Norwich has reason to expect that the com pany will manifest it's disposition to extend it's lines in this city from Back us corner to Maplewood cemetery and that it will provide a line by the ex- tending of existing ones whereby ser vice will be given to Mohegan park during a portion of the year at least
 These are two improvements for which Norwich has been waiting for some time and while it has patiently waited the prospect of paying business therefrom has greatly increased. Both are short distances and the outlay in either case could not be large, but it is service which the people want and should have. It is an opportunity for meeting the requirements of the cit izens of Norwich who have stood faith fully by the system in the years it has been in operation. The demands are in no particular unreasonable, but on the other hand they would supply a much needed convenience.

RECIPES

Rhubarb Tapioca-Cook one heap ing quart of prepared rhubarb and two scant cupfuls of sugar in a double boiler until the fruit is tender, then skim it out into a serving dish To the syrup in the kettle add sufficient boiling water to make a quart alto gether. When boiling, sprinkle in two-thirds of cupful of fine tapioca and stir frequently until it has swol- len; then cover and cook until clear. Pour this over the fruit, chill and serve plain or with sweetened cream. A variation of this recipe can be made by skimmering the fruit into a baking dish. When the tapioca is cooked pour 1t over the rhubarb, drop over the top a tablespoonful of butter cut into bits and bake in a moderate oven for half an hour. Serve with a foamy sauce.
 Scotch Shortbread-One-ha pound butter, four ounces caster sugar, eight ounces, flour, four ounces rice flour; beat butter and sugar to a cream, add the flour, mix well together in a basin; turn out on board and roll out one half inch thick, cut in rounds with a pastry cutter; bake in a very slow oven for three quarters of an hour.

STRENGTHENING COAST GUARD

It is impossible to overlook the inn portance which is attached to the launching of the two new revenue cut ters which are to be placed in the Coast Guard service. for the require ments of this branch of the govern ment work is such as to call for mod ern and staunch vessels. Though sub ject to call at any time, most of the demands for rescue work come during heavy weather and it is but just that the cutters should be in fit condition not only to respond but to give the proper protection to the members of the crews.
 One of the new cutters will be as- signed to the Maine coast to replace a vessel which has been in the ser vice for nearly half century, but that that is not the only weak point is to be gathered from the fact that there are four others which have been do- ing business for over 30 years while two of the cutters which were lost have never been replaced. It becomes evident, therefore, that while the Coast Guard fleet will be somewhat strength ened by the addition of the two new vessels there is still an opportunity for much more attention in that direc- tion.
 This service, which Is engaged in the saving of life and shipping results in the rescue of many lives and much property during each year, the value of the latter being far in excess of the cost of operations. It is a de- partment under federal control which is rendering a magnificent ser- vice. It is therefore entitled to all the benefits it can receive in the way of seaworthy vessels and proper equip ment.

OLD VELVET BUSTERS,

A piece of velvet is a fine cleaner for brass, and for polishing silverware it is better than chamois. It quickly removes dust from woodwork, and if used to rub the stove after it has been blacked it will produce a high polish. There is nothing better to dust a felt hat, and silk dresses and other silk articles should always be dusted with it. for it cleans perfectly without cut ting or otherwise injuring the silk.

If the milk comes to the top, @ good stirring should cause it to settle to the bottom again. Left over milk may be added from time to time, and by keeping the water on top you may always have good sour milk for coking.
