MAKING USE OF RIBBONS
About the First Thing Is for One to Become an Adept in Tying
 Bow.

This is ribbon season, as we all know, and the shops, naturally, have put forth a big and goodly supply of attractive ribbons in response to the demand fashion has made for them.
 Do you know how to tie a bowl Probably not. In this day of special ization few women do know how to tie more than lingerie or hair rib- bon. We leave it for the saieswoman at the ribbon counters, for our dress makers and our milliners to tie bows of every other sort.
 To begin with, If you would tie bows successfully, buy a reel of fine covered wire and use 1t to tie the loops in position. This, for instance, is the way a professional ties sash rosette for a child's frock. She takes one end of two or three yards of rib inches to go around the waist. Then she makes as many loops as she wishes, gathering the ribbon for each through her fingers.
 Next she measures off with her right hand, holding the loops in her left. enough ribbon for the two ends. and, at the end of this ribbon makes one more loop. This leaves a long loop of ribbon. later to be the two ends, and with one of them ties around the rosette loops. so making one end shorter than the other.
 Moire ribbon Is perhaps prettiest for children's sashes. although a stiff quality of taffeta answers tlae same purpose well. The soft satin ribbons are not so pretty on children as are the stiffes ribbons. For women, vel vet ribbon of three-ineh width forms a good sirile. It can be finished at the hack with an upstaading loop and a de9n-hanging end to cover the Sc cure closing made by means of snaps or hooks and eyes
 Hathand ribbons are especially in- teresting this summer. a tailored bow. fat but not pressed down. finishes the left side of the hat when these rib bons are used. and in most shops lengths ot ribbon with bows attached are sold for varying prices.
 Brocaded ribbons. with raised vel vet figures on thick satin ribbon foun- dations, are also smart. One such rib bon shcws pansies Of black, blue and purple velvet on eerise ribbon. An other shows overlapping pellets or big polka dots of three colors-peacock blue, old gold and plum-on a black background.

KEEP DAIRY UTENSILS CLEAN
Steam Can Be Utilized Enectiveiy m Washing Different Vessels
 Keep Covers Of.

Always have some good stiff brushes that will lit the different utensils and keep the seams in the tin absolutely clean. If one has steam 1t may be used very effectively In sterilizing the utensils. After rinsing in scalding wa ter of sterilization with steam. place the utensils in clean. sunny place to dry. Do not wipe them with cloth or stand them right side up on the racks. The heat imparted by the hot water or steam will cause them to dry quickly and by being placed bottom side up on the racks very little dust and dirt can get on the inside of the utensils. Never put the covers on the cans or pails after washing them. There are few worse odors than a fairly clean milk can that has been shut up until it has become musty.

WASHINGTON. - President Wilson is a peace loving official, but the walls of the cabinet room do not indicate it. Huge maps of all the war zones of Europe cover the walls and on each little map the battle line of the oppos- ing armies are drawn. Col. W. w. Harts, the presidents aid, is in charge of all the battlehelds. He adjusts the tiny flags and colored cords which indicate how the different armies are moving from day to day.

duce the state expenses, or at least to
hold them in check from mountiuo
higher, and he outlines a prospective
program calling for the consolidation
of commissions, the elimination of su-
pertuous officials and the building m
of a framework of administration not
unlike that which is found in the
management of a railroad or of any
big industrial concern
1t is not necessary to call specific at
tentlon now to the enormous increase
III state expenses which has SET
men TO wondering where the money is
all going and what we are getting in
return, and especially as there is prac-
leally no relationship between the in
crease III expenses and the growth of
the population of the state. Suffice if
to say that Mr.. Graham for wears has
been audltor of accounts and knows
where the money goes and for what.
and his desire for retrenohment is the
child of observation and thought and
IS not the temporary device of a 20
htician looking for votes.
Mr.. Graham has fine opportunity for
great service to Vermont, but even his
earnest and sincere desire for perform
anee will not he sufficient to accom-
pllsh a business-like reimbursement in
our affairs. Neither Mr. Graham nor
any other governor can do this thing
single handed or without the militant
support of the people. If the people
want retrenchment, as they unques-
tlonably do, they must stand behind
their governor i'll his effort along this
line and impress their representatives
IN the general assembly that they mean
business.

George L. Durham, the Republican
candidate for town representative, was
not born with a silver spoon in his
mouth. He worked his way through
academy and college, graduating at the
head of his class in both institutions.
Before entering upon business career
he was engaged in teaching and his
training at that time will be of great
value to him in giving service in edu-
cational matters that come before the
legislature. He is at the head of one of
the largest business concerns in its line
IN the entire country, built up from a
country store in which the owners and
one clerk did all the work. This bust
ness Is so arranged and organized that
Mr.. Durham can give his entire time to
legislative duties while at MontneIier

and is deserving of the vote of every
man i'll Brattleboro who wishes to see
the town well represented.

wears, and when put in order by his
deft, tidy fingers is one of the most
useful articles ever invented. But how
long Is the average chiffonier allowed
to remain in that condition. We leave

Is hlled with petticoats. bronze boots

TO change his pants he has to paw
over ten or twelve layers of dress
