.BELGIANS PROTEST
 OVER DECORATIONS
COPIES OF THE PROTEST ARE SENT TO PRACTICALLY ALL
 NEUTRAL COUNTRIES.

Hayre, France, Dec S-Five hum dred judges and members of the Bel eian bar have signed a protest to Gen eral yon Bissing, the military govern or of Belgium against the deportatious Of Belgians as in "contemE of natural rights. of the statute law and of the law Of nations"
 The letter appeals for reversal of the decrees under which the deporta- tions are conducted
 "A man is the master of his per. son, of his energies. and of his will" the letter adds. Forced labor is a punishment reserved for great crimes.'
 Twenty Beleian senators and g Bel giau deputies now living in Brussels have taken the personal risk of send ing siened protest to General yol Bissing against the deportations. They sent copies of their protest to practi- cally all neutral countries. The pro test reads:
 'E.xcellency it seems that no Iain could be added to those with which we have been weighed down since the occupation of our country Our liber- ties have been abolished, our industry and commerce annihilated. our in- struments of labor exported. our pub lie fortune ruined destination eyery- where
 Anguish and bereavement, all that we have endured without other revolt than the mute protestations of our souls We suffered in common and in our common pains Hehtened the burden Of our individual misery But now new violence falls upon and tears apart tnr families Hundreds thousands of peaceable citizens of all ages and conditions--a civil popula- tion--haye been abruptly and brutally snatched from their firesides and de ported into Germany
 ''Hundrcds thousands of women end children and aged peo le have been deprived of the support and have given over their loved ones. The spectacle of their desperation is snch that rather than confront it the re cruiting soldiers refuse to wee ing wives and despairing relatives the con solation of a last parting"
 Among the signers of the protest are four former ministers including Baron De Fayereau, president of the senate

MARKETING
 CONFERENCE ADJOURNS
THE MANLESS LAND AND THE LANOLESS HAN WITH OTHER
 QUESTIONS DISCUSSED.

Chicago, Dec S.-Catue raisers. eco. omists of the collges and the govern ment, pain farmers and marketing experts to the number of 500 who
 have been holding the fourth national conference on marketing and farm credits here completed their labors to-
 day.
 They took up problems involving farm finance, putting the Iandless
 man on the manless land, efficient marketing, conservation of the rural districts. were included in resolutions
 of oday's meeting.
 A government investigation of the live stock and packing industry by
 the federal trades commission was
 asked.
 The resolutions express the belief
 that the farm lean bond will be read. fly saleable, but remarked the neces- siy for a system of short time credits
 u addition for the farmer I4episla- ton to this end is asked of congress. Congress is also asked to provide au- thority 10 certify netes, secured by live stock or other farm products so
 taat they have ready market al reasonable rates. This it is argued would relieve the farmer of the high interest charged hy local money ,end- CTS.
 In the matter Of getting more set tiers on tine land the resolutions rec ognized the excellent purpose of the Crosser biIl but opposed that parG-
 cular measure as providing perpetual beaurocratic control and tending to develop a dependent peasantry.'
 To overcome the evils of tenant farming, said to be increasing the
 resolutions call for soil surveys which will show uhe exact characteristics and value of every parcel of lald in
 the country and government aid to tho farmer until his land is in shape to provide him with living Ready made farms are suggested and the pan used in Wyoming is endorsed. iurervision of private colonization pro- 5eets to protect the settler from fraud and misrepresentation is requested and the government is asked to aD- aont a committee to look into the whole subject including the "feasibii- | ity of d3pting in the country some
 of the policies of other countries which have done so much to improve l agriculture and social conditions in those countries.'

COTTON PRICES TAKE
 A BIG SLUMP
THE STAPLE BROKE OFF s1t A BALE FROM TOP PRICE QUOT
 ED ON NOVEMBER 27.

New York, Dee. S.-The cotton mar ket has been extremely unsettled dur ing the last week with the increasing nervousness of sentiment culmmating in a sensational break during today's trading. Reports of an improving spot demand were followed by moderate rallies during the middle of the weel, but advances seemed 10 meet renew ed liquidation and the selling became very heavy and excited following the publication of the census report today. May contracts. which had sold at 2065 on Thursday broke to 1894. or about $ll per pale under the hich record of November 27, and the mar ket was still very nervous and unset tied at the close tonight. The einninz of l@,359 346 bales to December 1. evi- dently caused some revision of mimi mum crop views This doubtless ac. counted partly for the effort to hqul- date long contracts before the apr ear ance of the official crop report One of the private estimates during the middle of the week had indicated lint yield of a little under 100000 bales Other private estimates re. gently issued, however have ranged from about 1L2I9000 10 11.460 GOO bales excluding lmters and local sta lsticans did not agree that the estl mate would run that high.

HOUSEHOLD WISDOM

Hardboiled eggs chopped fine and
mixed with mustard. little cream and
seasoning win make a delicious sand,
wich.
It is a good idea to save, If possible
definite sum for furniture replace
ments. This applies especially to the
keeper of new house.
. New blankets should be shaken and
soalied in cold water overnight tcl
take out the sulphur dressing and
make them more easily washed.
Whenever possible save the green
leaves of a head Of lettuce for ege
salad. while the hearts are kept fol-
the tomato, fruit and other salads.
Aweak solution OF turpentine poured
down the water pipes once week will
drive the water bugs away. M
Shabby oak should be brushed over
with warm beer and when thoroughly
dry polished with beeswax and tur-
pentine.
Furs that have become fat and oily
looking about the neck may be made
fresh and like new by rubbing the fur
the wrong way with a hot iron. Furs
that have been wet should never be
hung in front OF the stove or an open
fire to dry. ans sr..t
For mud stains on dresses dissolve
a little carbonate Of soda in water and
with 1t wash the mud stains. Another
plan is to rub the stains with cut
raw potato, afterward removing the
potato juice by rubbing it with han-
mel dipped in water.
In cold weather put the clothespins
in pan and set in the oven until they
are hot Then the fingers will not
suffer when hanging out the clothes
especially If the clothes are rinsed out
the last time in warm water.
To clean bamboo furniture use a
brush dipped in warm water and salt
The salt prevents the bamboo from
turning color.
To clean lamp burners wash them
in wood ashes and water and they will
come out clean and bright.
II lemons are warmed before they
are squeezed nearly double the guam
tity of Juice will be obtained.
II you want to save gas, remember
that sheet Of tin placed over the
smallest gas Jet win heat two hatirons
n quickly as II two Jets were used.
Muslin and cotton goods can be rem.
dered fireproof by putting an ounce
Of alum in the last rinsing water. or
by putting it in the starch.
A mousehole can be effectually
stopped for all time by pasting over it
a piece OF cloth which has been liber.

great bread bakery found 1t neces

It was about a week before they could
be sure of the uniformity of the bread
baked in those ovens. This merely
demonstrates to the housewife the
necessity for giving time and atten-
tion to her oven when she intends to
bake.
When the cake comes out of the
oven cracked it has been subjected
to too great heat at first. The cake
baked 80 quickly at first that the gases
did not have a chance to escape. and
finally when formed in enough vol
ume, they broke through the top. leav-
ing a great crack. When the oven
is unevenly heated the cake either
