BUSINESS FROM THE WAR.

Tn his address at Cincinnati Presi- lent Wilson made the statement that .hs exports of everything that goes 10 supply the armies of Europe makes only one per cent. of the total of American commerce. Whether this is a correct statement of the war busi- ness which this country is doing. when 1t is realized that in explosives alone lhere has been an increase from S5.- 100000 to $467, 900, 900, it must be re- klized that the increased business Ghich this country is doing because of she war is not confined to supplying The demands of the European armies. The nations at war have been obliged to curtail on production in many lines and confine themselves to the getting put of supplies for the armies and 1avies. They are looking to this country and others to get many things besides munitions, such as wheat, foodstuffs, automobiles and in fact a long list of articles which would not be sent there in such quantities except for the war, and in addition to that fact other na- tions of the world which in the past have been dependent upon the nations at war for supplies of various kinds have had that trade cut off and they az AOOhihS dioO lo IHe OHlteu SCdteS.
 Thus it becomes apparent that the trade which the United Etates has been receiving since the European war broke out is not trade which is confined to supplying the wants of the European armies.
 And besides all this there is also the demands in many lines of manufac- ture which Europe formerly furnished for this country, but which we are forced to provide for ourselves. This is all business which has been cre- ated by the war in Europe.

holic drinks. Why? Because they de- crease the efficiency of men in all walks of life. This is one of the greatest lessons this war has to give us-the unrighteousness of public and social use of alcoholic drinks. The message of Christ's church is to sep arate the good from the evil and to maintain it by daily living.
 Shakespeare wisely said: Ignorance is the curse of God; knowledge the wing whereby we fly to heaven"
 It is imperative today that all men and women know the poisonous nature of alcohol and where can this. know legde be more potently taught than from the thousands of pulpits open every Sunday? By whom can the evil Christian men and women who are supposedly walking in the path of righteousness?
 This recognition of the necessity of the suppression of the liquor traffic by the Protestant Episcopal general convention is timely and in accord with the great weight of evidence which both science and experience of life have accumulated in judgment against 1t.
 '"The ethics and religion which will tolerate alcoholism is the ethics and religion of death For not only is alcoholism the cause of numerous dis eases. it leads directly and indirectly to ruin," sad Prof T. G. Masarky of Prague.
 Is it not marvellous that society in general tolerates a law which Is SUD- posed to protect it against an evil, but in reality is used to foster and protect a traffic by which humanity is de- graded and all the forces of vice and violence are strengthened?
 This wonder grows upon me day by day as I see men staggering through our streets all triceS of o Christian manhood blptted out of their faces.
 Let us hope and pray that the dis cussions and recognitions of this wide spread evil by the Protestant Episco- pal convention may not end in words but pass into concrete action and this great body of clergymen and com municants may become a mighty re- ligious and ethical force in suppress ing an evil which is greater in it's destructive force than war itself MARTNDA c.

REDUCES DOUBLE CHIN,

To help reduce a double chin, prac- tice the following exercises: 1. Stand erect, in military position. Place the hands lightly on the hips, fingers for ward. Drop the chin slowly on the collarbone: then throw the head back with a quick, even movement that is not jerk, but yet pulls all the mus cles into quick play. Repeat ten times. 2. Turn the head quickly to the right till the chin is just over the right shoulder; then back again. Re- peat ten times: then turn the head to the left in the same way. Repeat ten times. Do not tire the muscles of the neck, but gradually increase the num- Der of exercises daily until you can after discomfort.

SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE.

How much of the foreign trade in which this country is engaged at the
 present time with South American countries is going to be maintained
 after the signing of peace across the
 water is highly problematical. Europe has formerly cecdived the bulk of their trade and Albert Hale, an at tache of the department of com
 merce who has just returned from a
 two years stay in South America tells a Cleveland audience that business
 men need to be fair and honest with
 South American buyers. He said The first thing necessary is to determine that you are going to treat the Ar genuine merchant with exactly the same kind of fairness, honesty and consideration that you do your next door neighbor. Unfortunately for American trade there have been American manufa cturers who were ready to cast off any worn out ma
 terial that they had upon the South
 America market as being good enough for that purpose. This has brought the American manufacturer into dis repute."
 Mir. Hale shows what our short
 comings are in regard to our trade
 with South America and the reason
 why their trade is likely to go back to Europe after the war. It is informa-
 tion this country should profit by
 since it is in Keeping with the claim of a recent South American visitor who said he expected that Europe
 would regain it's lost American trade
 because it was prepared to handle it
 by well established agencies and be-
 cause contrary to. the Americans Eu- rope was prepared to give South
 America, what it wanted and did not
 insist upon telling it what it ought to
 have. A word to the wise in this re-
 spect should be sufficient.

USE CHALL!S.

If you ares contemplating some new interior hangings for living room or dining room or even bedroom consider challls. You don't have to select from the old-fashioEed sprigged variety or even the small conventional design or stripe. You may now have the widest kind of futuriSt challis in the most brilliant of colorings
 Japanese, these latest challis are called. Big red moons sport on skies Of blue and glorious palm trees spring from sands of golden yellow. More of the challis show no such concerted de- signs, being merely blotches of bright color or brighter grounds.
 Of course. you can still get the de- mure little striped patterns and some quaint old-fashioned designs where a quieter patterning is desirable. ChalIis makes lovely soft hangings ana has the additional value of being wash able.

5OUDolR CAP.

The most charming kind of a bou- doir cap can be made from a large handkerchief. It must be mans size and should be of finished linen. Whip to the edge of it an inch wide edge of Valenciennes lace. You may add beading before you apply the lace, through which ribbon can be run, but it is not necessary. Fold back two corners of the handkerchiefs for several inches. These fall at back and front of the cap. Now gather the other corners over the ears and hold the gathers with q knot of ribbon. To hold the cap in place use an end of the ribbon. To hold the cap in place use an end of the ribbon as a chin strap and snap it under the bow on the other side

FOR CHAPPED HANDS,

Careless washing and imperfect dry ing are the reasons for more red, un- slightly hands than anything else. The slightest dampness of the skin is apt to make the hands chap and crack Hot water should not be used more than once a day at most for washing the hands, and then they should be rinsed in cold.
 At night before retiring, when the hands have been we'll washed and dried, rub in a fair quantity of good cold cream or eamphorated ice Then powder them lightly with a fine tall cum and slip on loose old gloves re- served for this purpose. This will vhiten the hands and keep them soft and smooth.

SKIRT GATHERS.

Autumn frocks define the natural waistline and one notes that there are many services for getting away from the conventional girdle or belt. Skirts gathered in three or four shirrings at the waist are for slender figures onIy These shirrings are done in the French n1anner-long stitches on the right side, tiny ones on the wrong side and the stitches carefully under each other in the shirrings.

THE NEW WORKBAGS.

The woman who goes about with a workbag on her arm is more usual than she used to be. The craze for knitting has done &nuch to make her so, for before knitting came in there had been many years of comparatively little doing of needlework among us. Not that knitting is needlework. But knitting has brought renewed interest in handiwork of all sorts and now workbags are so lovely that nobody can resist them
