How to Clean Suede.

If you are wearing a pair of fash
ionable shoes it goes without saying
that they have some suede somewhere
in their makeup. They have suede
tops or they have suede trimmings, oil
some place there is some suede.
Also, as matter of fact, the suede
becomes soiled rather easily. Now
there are several sorts of cleaners sold
for suede and all of them are fairly
good But a woman who has had
much experience with cleaning suede
says that the best way to clean it is
to rub it with fine emery cloth. This
literally rubs off the dirt and leaves
the suede smooth and clean.

COOKED IN ITALIAN STYLE
Delicious Ways Of Preparing Fruit
That May Be Novelty to Some
Housewives.

For the many who prefer cooked to
raw fruits the various delicious ways
known to the Italians may be received
with pleasure.
Different from the usual apple sauce
is this method Of cooking. Pare and
quarter apples of any size, drop into
a saucepan, for every six apples add
the Juice Of one orange, and a quarter
of the peel sliced with the pulp. IL
not sufficient juice a little water may
be added and graduated sugar-ts
taste. Cook only until the apples.-are
tender. not long enough for them to
lose form. Pears cooked the same
way are very good.
Apricots, fresh or dried, are cooked
in the same way. II dried soak Tor
eight or ten hours. Place In a baking
pan, cover with sugar and marsha
wine, or good quality OF sherry
Place in the oven, cook until soft and
Juicy, basting occasionally. Plums VIII
be found equally good cooked as ap
ricots.
Prunes, always seasC3abie, ore won
derfully delicious when prepared In
the true Italian way. Soak over night
prunes of any size in sufficient rec
wine to cover the fruit and for each
pound of fruit add half a cup Of
granulated sugar. Cook until tender
and add more wine If much juice IL
desired. lust what the wine does u
the flavor of the prunes it is difficult
to say, but certainly they are wei
worth trying Dried cherries, as wei
as the fresh ones, are good cooked this
way, and blackberries stewed will
claret instead Of water will prove
new delicacy.
Peaches cooked with brandy are o.
course not a novelty, but peaches
cooked with raspberry syrup instead
of sugar and the usual brandy will
be something to remember.

CHINTz NEEDS GREAT CARE
Precautions Must Be Taken When
There is Need of Washing This
Delicate Fabric.

The housewife whose home is filled
with dainty chintz draperies and COW
ers is often troubled by the fact that
each time her chintz is washed its
lovely designs grow a bit lighter, I'M
til they are 80 faint as to be almost in
distinguishable.
OF course the fading is all due to
the way the chintzes are laundered,
and little more care in that depart
ment will keep the bright colors prac-
tically the same as new.
The chintz should be soaked in cold
water made briny with plenty OF salt
and vinegar. When the brine has thor
oughly penetrated all through the
goods little hot water should be run
into the tub; not enough to make the
tub full of warm water, just enough to
make 1t tepid. The washing should
not be done with a very strong acid
soap-in fact, a soft soap Is prefer
able.
When the chintz is hung up to dry
care should be taken that it is not
put up in the direct sunshine, but is
hung in the shade. When not quite
dry it should be taken down and ironed
from the wrong side. The great thing
in preserving the colors of chintz is
not to let heat come in contact with
the right side of the goods. OF
course the irons viii have to be fairly
hot In order that the chintz may look
fresh and without wrinkles, but this
heat should be applied to the wrong
side of the goods.

Hot-Water Platter.

Those who have to solve the prob
lem of cold dining rooms, especially
at breakfast time, will find greater
comfort in the use of the hot-water
platter. Boiling water is turned into
the tank under the platter and the top
screwed on. Then the nickel cover
is placed over the food, which keeps
hot and in perfect order for at least
thirty minutes. The original outlay
seems a little large, as the medium
sized outfit costs about nine dollars,
but with careful use It VIII repay
one in the comfort of hot meals. There
is also the round hot-water plate
which is excellent for the breakfast
tray or invalid's use.

ganization. It was the case in Washing
ton when the local traction employees
quit work and after several days were
restored to duty by an adjustment by
the public utilities commission. It WAS
the case later in the strike on the Vir-
ginia lines.
It is a public misfortune that strikes
are usually followed by these accuse
tions Of faithlessness. If the corpora
tions themselves actually scheme to visit
punishment on men whom they have
pledged themselves to restore to duty
they deserve some form of penalty. It
is a shortsighted policy to make re-
prisals upon strike leaders following a
settlement. In the first place, it cannot
be done without arousing hostility.
Every move of the corporation is watch
ed closely by the men for fear Of just
this sort of thing. If there is no inten-
tion to retain the leaders in service there
should be no pledge to do so. If that
pledge is given it should be kept seru-
pulously.
These troubles add to the force of the
argument for a system of arbitration
which shall be automatic at the outset
with force of law behind it and in
which there are penalties for bad faith
on either side in case of failure to OBJ
serve the conditions of the adjustment.

rison, or "Hello, Bill" to Mr.. Mckinley.
They were before Mr.. Roosevelt's day
and the fashion he brought in. But
"Hello, Bill" often greeted Mr.. Taft,
"Hello, Woody!" often greets Mr.. Will
son. and now Mr.. Hughes "gets his"
Well, no harm is done. The times are
a little unconventional. We are less
awed than formerly by what is called
greatness. The rank and file are crowd
ing up to get closer view and better
acquainted. Nor is familiarity breeding
contempt, as sometimes happens in other
matters. 1t is comforting and cheering
to the man CLOVER down" to find that the
man "higher up" is, as he is, only mortal,
and can be approached.
And now that they have become popu-
lar, stumping tours by presidential can
didates should, and probably will, be-
come the rule. There is nothing undig-
nifed about them. There is no special
risk in them Heckling in the shape Of
mere impertinance and annoyance would
not be tolerated by any community. The
people turn out in numbers to hear cam
paign issues discussed; and where the
speaker is the nominee of great party
for the highest Office under the gov
ernment he is accorded by all alike, sup
porters and opponents, the attention
which is his due.
Mr.. Hughes is rousing great interest
and by nearly every speech getting
"rise' out of the opposition. If there
has been apathy it no longer exists. In
all sections but the south, where but one
party thrives, real campaign is in prog
ress. Contrary to general expectation,
it is now stated that Mr.. Wilson will not
take the stump. But he may change his
mind. He has been known to do that.

Preparedness.

Preparedness wins. The House yester-
day-by majority so large as to be, in
a way, more impressive than unanimity
would have been-accepted the Senate's
naval program. A few minor points of
difference between the two houses re-
main for settlement, but in few days
the bill, carrying three hundred million
odd, will reach the President and be
signed.
The matter is of great significance; !;
and the world will note, and long re-
member. In future Uncle Sam will take
no chances. He will not trust to luck,
or make calculations about safety grow
ing out of the wranglings of foreign
powers among themselves. He will have
a navy Of his own so large and kept
so fit it will answer as his security. This
is the decree of both parties, and fol-
lows a discussion of the whole question
on its merits.
Necessarily, as everything is in politics
today, there will be debate on the stump
as to the credit for all this. Both parties
will present claims, and insist upon them.
The democrats will include the measure in
their list Of forward-looking enact
ments, while the republicans will declare
that but for them nothing Of a forward
looking nature for either the army or
the navy would have been done by this
Congress.
It is Of record that at the outset the
President was dead set against prepared
ness. He thought the proposition had
emanated from and was being pushed
by nervous and noisy persons. He would
have none of it, and it seemed likely
that, at present, nothing would come
of it.
Then he changed his mind and shifted
his position. He Joined the nervous and
the noisy, and carried an overwhelming
majority of his party with him. Neither
Mr. Roosevelt nor Mr.. Gardner of Massa-
chusetts was asking for more than he
was now willing to concede as necessary.
But for the President, Mr.. Kitchin on
this question would have been in fact,
as in name, the leader of the House,
whereas yesterday Mr.. Kitchin could
muster only thirty-fve democrats in op-
position to the President.
But, however this stump debate may
ypn and result the fact will remain that
the policy of preparedness is here, and
here to stay. 1t is fixed. The next Con-
gress will give no expression of any kind
in favor of millennialism. We have not
yielded now, and shall not yield in fu-
ture, to either militarism or navalism
but only decided to take, and hold, our
place among the nations that are good
and ready for war emergencies.
