The Care of Blankets.

Here is a satisfactory way of wash
ing the blankets: Slice half a cake
of washing soap into two quarts
of water. Set on the stove and stir
until dissolved. When dissolved add
cold water In a large tub. To this
soapy water add four tablespoonfuls
of powdered boraX. Soak the blankets
In this overnight. Then wash them in
this water, rinse them twice in cold
water, wiring and hang on the line.
This recipe will wash four blankets.
Be sure to use only cold water, and
they will come out as soft and beauti-
full as new. A t%easpoonful of glycerin
added to the rinsing water will i'm
prove them. Very heavy blankets may
sometimes be cleaned by hanging them
on the line, soaping and securing them
and then simply turning the hose on
them.

GRAFT IN THE ORIENT.
An Incident That illustrates the Way
of the Far East.

An Incident That illustrates the Way
of the Far East.
I had had experience with corruptible
Turkish officers, and one day when
barrack conditions became unendura-
BILE l went to the officer commanding
our division. al old Arab from Lata-
kieh who had been called from retire
ment at the time of the mobilization.
He lived in a little tent near the
mosque, where l found him squatted
on the floor nodding drowsily over his
comfortable paunch. As he was an
officer of the old regime, l entered bold
ly, squatted beside him and told him
my troubles. The answer came with
an enormous shrug of the shoulders.
you are serving the sultan. Hard
ship should be sweet"
81 should be more fit to serve him II
I got more sleep and rest"
He waved a fat hand about the tent.
Look at me! Here l am, an officer
of rank andS-shooting a knowing look
at me-"I have not even a nice blan-
ket."
( "a crime! A crime!" l interrupted.
ITO think Of it, when 1, a humble
soldier, have dozens of them at home!
| should be honored if you would lilo
me- My voice trailed off sugges-
lively.
"How could, you get one?" he asked.
"Oh, l have friends here In Saffet,
but l must be able to sleep In a nice
place."
"Of course. Certainly. What would
you %suggest?"
"That hotel kept by the Jewish
widow might do" 1 replied.
More amenities were exchanged, the
upshot of which was that my four
friends and l were given permission to
sleep at the inn-a humble place, but
infinitely better than the mosque. 1t
was all perfectly simple.-Alexander
Aaronsohn in Atlantic Monthly.

THRIFT MAKES SWISS GREAT
High Standing Of Little Mountain Re-
public Due Largely to Practical
Habits of Its People.

The practical and sound-minded
people of the Alps, living In the midst
of the wars great caldron, are &C.
credited as being the most thrifty
people on earth. With the possible ex.
ception of the Scotsman, 1t would be
correct to assume that, individually,
the Swiss takes the lead in this re-
spect.
One hundred years of peace has con-
tributed to the present satisfactory
condition of Switzerland. 1t doubtless
has made possible the country's pres
ent high standing in the family of ma
lions. politically, industrially and
financially.
The impression that the Swiss are
not an industrial people, but a nation
of hotel and inn keepers is not borne
out by the facts. They are both. The
popular mind has long associated the
country with its hotels and nothing
more, and little account has been
taken of Switzerland's great textile,
watch, food, metal, and dairying indus
tries. All this has been made possible
by the peaceful and thrifty nature of
the people.
It is interesting to note the classic.
cation of Swiss savings banks. There
are compulsory and noncompulsory In
situations. The compulsory are but
three in number. There are in the
country ordinary savings banks, school
savings banks, factory savings banks,
consumers unions savings banks, and
savings banking against unemploy'
ment, in all, Loaf institutions, with
depositors and deposits, in 1905, as
follows:
Depositors, 2,025,491; a deposits in
francs, 1886, 975,114; deposits in dol.

WILSON KISSED THE HAND
RED WITH AMERICAN
BLOOD.

President Wilson explicitly
Shows that the Carranzistas, not
once but repeatedly, made at
tacks on American towns, and
killed American citizens, and
mutilated them In September,
1915. Yet on October 10Th, 1915,
less than a month later, this
same President Wilson, through
his same Secretary of State,
formally announced to Carran-
za's agent that 1t was his pleas
ure" to take the opportunity "of
extending recognition to the de
facto government of Mexico, of
which General Venustiano Car
rama Is the chief executive"
President Wilson thus recog-
nized the government which, his
own Secretary of State declares,
had been less than a month pre-
viously engaged In repeated
assaults upon Americans, and in
the invasion of American soil,
the government at whose head
was General Carranza, who, less
than two months previously, on
August End, 1915, had contempt
uously refused to pay any heed
to any representations of Presi-
dent Wilson on behalf of media
ton, saying that under no
consideration would I permit in
reference In the internal affairs
of Mexico" President Wilson
did not merely kiss the hand (
that slapped him In the face. He !
kissed that hand when 1t was (
red with the blood of American !
men, women and children, who I
had been murdered and mutilat- I
ed with, as President Wilson, !
through his Secretary of State, I
says, ruthless brutality."-From !
the speech of Col. Theodore |
Roosevelt, delivered at Lewis !
ton, Maine, in behalf of Charles |
e. Hughes. !

a taXicab-was standing at the curb;
a man was waiting Ia the driving seat
and the engine was running. Jim saw
a CLINT in a window on the third floor
"a CLINT from q light within, not q re-
Election from the lights in the streets.
His pulses leaped as he saw 1t. He
looked about the street, but except for
the man waiting In the touring car no
4 was II sight: the man had turned
In his seat and was watching Jim as
he went and tried the front door of
the building. The door was locked and
Jim went around to the alley.
There was a small door there, which
was promptly opened by a j~anitor.
"Can 1 get into this buildingT' Jim
asked him.
what Office are you connected with,
sir?"
IS D. Marlatt, the insurance office
on the third floor"
The man stepped back. The reply
seemed to be exactly what he expect
ed. "Mr. Mariatt's up there now.
You know the way, sir?"

through him. A light. probably turned
on for Marlatt, was burning over an
Iron stairway which went up beside
the elevator shafts. Jim assembled
slowly and cautiously, but In the ST.
lent marble walled building his foot
steps echoed again and again. He STOP
ped at the landing, and, taking his re-
volver from his pocket, he felt of the
backs Of the cartridges to make GER

He gained the second floor. He found
In the dim glow of a single electric
bulb the stairway to the third and
began to ascend. Hating at the land
Ing and listening, he made out no
sound from the floor above, but from
below he heard the echo of voices and
now the noise of some one hastily
ascending the stairs. One Of the men
below was the janitor; the other, evil

had mistaken Jim, the one whom Mar
latt had expected to follow him into
the building. That man knew that
some one just ahead of him had asked
for Marlatt's office.
Jim gained the third floor and slip
ped down the hall to the right. 1t was
all dark about him now, as the light
on the stairs was around the corner,
but the office from which the CLINT of
light had showed to the street must
be close ahead. jim, holding his re-
volver ready in his right hand, felt the
office doors with his left. They were
