pEPoRTING RELe!ANs.

It is interesting to note that some of the excuses. offered fop- the deporta- tion of the civilians of Belgium into Germany are that they are virtually prisoners of war, that it is being done for their own good and that they are being employed on civil and not mii- tary tasks. e
 If civilians were aprisonerss of war they would be. entitled etot the support of their captors This the Belgians have not received but rather they have been taxed for the maintenance of the German cause and been forced to rely upon their own resources and the aid which humanitarians the world over have contributed. The Belgians are an industrious people and it cannot be seen where the breaking up of fani- lies is going to result to their good on a recompense of eight cents day for the labor which will be contrib uted to the enemy. If they were sin cere in their desire to help the Bel gians the reviving of their former ac- tivities would be the thing. E
 As to the claim that they are being used for civil tasks it can be admitted that they may be, but it is realized at the same time that when thousands of Belgians are put to work along such lines that immediately creates a greater output for Germany or else it relieves just so many of the German employees who can be used for mili- tary tasks and the result is that through this forced work the Belgians are being made to throw greater ob- stacles in the way of their own coun- try and the claim that it is being done for their own. good becomes a himsy excuse for pulling the wool over neu- tral eyes

FLOWERS OF FELT.

Among the many odd trimmings used on hats at the present time are queer little flowers and leaves made from felt. A flower shaped like a rose had petals of orange and purple dr. ranged alternately and each petal was pinked around the edge. The Leaves than the flowers. Four pieces of felt formed each leaf. and like the petals of the flowers they, too, had jagged edges. First. a large orange colored leaf was placed in position; directly over this a smaller petal of dark pIr- pie, then q third one of Yermiflion and fourth one of black. Each piece of felt was smaller than the piece be- meath and four of these bright colored bits of felt formed each leaf. A flower, three leaves and stem were used to trim black hat. which really was most attractive.

CHANGE WILL BE WELCOMED

There has been a growing demand for the abandonment of the pork bar rel in national legislation. There have been instances where it was listened to, and where advocates of a, sound business policy in making ap- propriations have brought congress to realization of the dangers into which it was plunging through a dis regard for the ewisdom of spending money which was not required and particularly so when the country was not in position to waste it's money But there are nevertheless countless Instances where little or no attention has been paid to such demands and where the pork barrel has been filled and. emptied without regard to the situation but simply for the political advantage to be gained
 It is therefore interesting in this connection that the secretary of the National Voters League, Lynn Haines, as a result of the study of the makeup of the congress which will do busi- ness at Washington following the inauguration, has reached the conclu- sion that the prospects are good for the removal of the pork barrel from national legislation. This he thinks will he accomplished through the two dozen or more radicals who have been elected to congress for he believes they hold balance of power which will be sufficient to accomplish this end. . .t
 Let us hope that this is so but if it Is 1t will be a decided contrast to pre- vious congresses, for however much radicals, or others have opposed the pork barrel methods or other legisla- ton in the past, there has usually been sufficient log rolling to produce the pork at the right time. A change will certainly be welcomed.

CARE OF THE TEETH.

It is necessary to cleanse the teeth carefully before retiring at night Use a good alkaline mouth wash Rinse this thoroughly through the mouth, forcing it through the teeth by means of the tongue.

hunting trips This brother has done no different than many others have and he has not s brought about any worse result than many of his elders, who have fired at moving brush with out first ascertafning what the target really was. The chances are that sshe was simply doing what he had been told to do in seeking deer, but it must be realized that it was piece of care lessness which is altogether too. com mon under such conditions.
 This was not the first case of the kind. The lesson stands. forth, every hunting season. Long would be the list of those who have lost their lives for just such a reason. and yet 1t hap pens over ana over again. The eager ness to bring d6wA the game over shadows the inclination, to be Sure. To wait and see what sis actually com ing through the brush might give the game, if so it proved. a chance to get away, but how much better it would be to have one or a whole herd of deer escape than to take the life Of a human being. whether he be kins- man or not, and those who cannot ex ercise' that self restraint ought never to be allowed to carry a gun. And the time to reflect upon such a situation is when just such lessons as that re- ferred to are presented and not after there has. been a personal participa- ton in such a deed. -

THANKSGIVING DAY THIS YEAR

q e.
 By the proclamation of President Wilson the last day of this month has been set aside as day of national thanksgiving and prayer, a day for expressing our appreciation for the great blessings received during the year. Thanksgiving will be observed with the customary services and func- tions throughout the country, but while we are expressing our thanks for the benefits which have been re- ceiyed, it is time that a little extra consideration should be given to those who are in less favorable circum- stances. @eH IG fi: Si: 2E i=e
 This might be done with good sre- suits on every return, of the holiday but this year in particular while this nation has been receiving so much ad- vantage as the result of the grim war which Is in progress across the water it is impossible to overlook the hor- rible conditions which it has brought about abroad and is daily making worse. And in this connection. the president well says: And I also urge and suggest our duty in this. our day of peace and abundance. to think ip deep sympathy of the stricken peoples of the world upon whom the curse and terror of war has so pitilessly fallen, and to contribute out of our abundance means to the relief of their sufferings, Our people could in no better way show their real atti- tude toward the present struggle of the nations than by contributing out of their abundance to the relief of the suffering which war has brought in it's train.
 This plea in the proclamation is one which ought not to and probably will not go unheeded.
