HOW YOU CAN MAKE

YOUR CLOTHES WATERPROOF
A French scientist has lately
discovered an effective method
Of making garments absolutely
waterproof. The process is sim
pie, durable and inexpensive, ANA
does not injure the appearance
Of the cloths. 1t consists of a.
very impregnation Of the fiber
of the cloth with wool-fat. This
is dissolved and diluted in a neu-
trail, anhydrous and volatile Ii
quid.
Take five or ten parts of Adeps
lanae, procurable at almost any
drug store, liquefy it in a little
ehloroform and dilute with nine
ty to ninety-fve parts Of gallo
line.
Immerse in this the entire gar
ment, squeezing or stirring it
for few minutes, then wringing
out and drying in the air.
To make bags, leggings, arti-
cles of coarse cloth or canvas
waterproof smear 'em thorough
ly with a mixture of tale with
fifty per cent vaseline.
Red vaseline is best, since it
costs less and gives an attractive
khaka color. The paste is ap-
piled much like shoe blacking,
and is then rubbed in vigorously
with a brush to make sure of an
intimate contact.
Shoes, also, should be water
PROCEED, especially for the win
Ter and wet spring months. Any
ct the reliable brands OF water
proofing oils on the market will
be found satisfactory, provided
they are applied often enough
after every trip in the rain or
snow. The old-fashioned meth
cd of rubbing in talow is still
efficient, though not so convent
ent to use as the commercial
brands.

Endorse Administration.
"The part that the United
States will play in the new day
of international relationships
which is now upon us will de-
pend upon our preparation and
character.
"The democratic party there
fore recognizes the association
and triumphant demonstration
of the indivisility and coherent
strength of the nation as the
supreme issue of this day in
which the whole world faces the
crisis of manifold change. 1t
summons all men, Of whatever
origin or creed, who would count
themselves Americans, to join
in making clear to all the world
the unity and consequent power
Of America.
This is an issue of patriotism.
To faint it with partisanship
would be to delfie it. In this
day of test, America must show
itself, not a nation of partisans,
but a nation of patriots. There
is gathered here in America the
best of the blood, the industry
and the genius of the whole

THE NEWSPAPERS AREPREACH-
ING BETTER THAN PREACHERS

Newspapers received an unu-
sual and marked tribute the 9TH
er day when the Rev. Charles A.
Eaton, pastor of one of the larg-
est churches in New York City
and one Of the foremost clergy
men in the country, resigned his
charge in order to carry on his
chosen work, not in another pull
pit, but through the press.
1t is DR.. Eaton's belief, shared
by many others, that public OPP
inion in this country must be
awakened to it's responsibilities
in the readjustment which is
bound to follow the great war.
DR.. Eaton will preach this sub
iect, but not from the pulpit.
The newspaper will carry his
message to the world in future.
in relinquishing his post theemi-
nent clergyman. said:
AT present the newspapers
are preaching better than the
preachers, and it is through the
press that | hope to work. In
common with the rest of the
world, America is entering upon
a new age, and / feel it my duty
to help in forming public opin-
ion and interpreting the vast
and complicated problems which
confront u.s."
The foregoing is but another
proof Of the growing influence
and power for the community
exerted by the newspaper today.
1t is not so many years ago that
any close connection between the
clergy and the press was suffi-
cient cause for a considerable
raising Of eyebrows among the
revered gentlemen and their fol-
lowers. Time and experience
and, it must be admitted to a
higher standard among news
papers have changed this atti-
tude.
The press and clergy are to-
day working hand in hand, as
they should work, and preaching
religious as well as civic righte-
BUSINESS through the newspapers
is an accepted fact, for, while
the pulpit addresses itself to
hundreds, the newspaper speaks
to thousands.

THE DANGEROUS CHAMoIs SKIN

Under cerain conditions of
temperature, harometric press
ure, and the amount of eletrici-
ty in the air, gasoline poured
through a chamois skin may
cause a spark sufficient to set
the gasoline afre. We cannot
attempt to tell you why, but on
ly that such is certainly the fact.
It is perfectly possible to have
used chamois skin for years
and never had a fire. It is al
so perfectly possible to light a
match and put it out by plung-
ing it suddenly into gasoline,
but it is an experiment no one
cares to try.
Wire gauze of a sufficiently
fine mesh is much to be prefer
red to chamois skin, and is a
precaution which belongs to the
campaign for Safety First"

tits grave mistake for mothers to neg

ness and often shortens life.

depressed, you should know that Scott s

PUBLISHERS AND PRICES.

Although everyone is ready to
admit that the cost of living has
materially increased during the
last fifteen or twenty years, some
publishers complain that many
of their subscribers cannot un-
derstand Why rates should be in
creased and business men are
asking why prices of job work
should be advanced.
The present critical situation
in the paper market and the in
grease in the price of ink and
practically all kinds of printing
material due to the war in Eu-
rope is cutting heavily into the
profits of publishers and higher
prices must be secured if they
would even make ends meet.
j. e. Jones, editor of Weekly
Events, published at Kilbourn.
Wisconsin, delivered himself of
an interesting editorial common
tary on the present condition of
affairs in a recent issue of his
paper in which he said:
Zone day last week man
came to renew his subscription
to Events. When he found the
price to be $3.50 he said, I never
paid more than a dollar and if
you won't take that you can stop
it, It was stopped. About the
same time a business man called
to order printing stationery. He
was told that increased prices of
paper would make the difference
of about ten per cent. Don't
want it, he said ironically, that
is a pure holdup.' He had to
have the paper and paid over a
dollar extra to get it from a
printer mail order house. The
first of the week we ordered a
special color of ink that last fall
was priced at $500 a pound. 1t
costs us now $3.50 a pound. We
bought a lot Of special enamel
paper this week that a month
ago cost $3.50 per hundred
pounds. Now we pay $40 per
hundred pounds. Letter paper,
envelopes and printers stock
have increased from twenty to
thirty-five per cent. Prices on
nearly everything has increased
and no one questions the higher
price made by the merchant, the
lawyer, the doctor, the laboring
man and city papers. But the
fact that the printer of news
Daror in the country asks TWEEN
ty-five cents year more, Of ten
per cent. advance on work in
which the material alone is in
creased one-third or one-half, is
called a 'holdup,' or an order to
'stoD my paper,

The best brought up family Of
children we ever knew were ed
ucated on the principle of al
ways comending them when it
was possible to do so and letting
silence be the reproof of any
wrong doing which was not real

children Of this household, when
their mother had failed to say
any word of commentator af-
ter some social occasion, ask as
anxiously as possible, what was
it, mamma? | know something
was wrong. Didn't we treat
the other children well, or were
we too noisy?" In that house
reproof was never bestowed I'M
