Thirty Years Ago.

From the Banner of Sept. 16, l6S6-Bellevue.
Russia's righteousness is unbounded.
The desire for conquest seems to wholly
absorb every principle of justice and
honor. She is attempting to steal the
East Indies from the British. She has
cast longing eye upon China's rich
possessions and placed troops upon the
border with view to gradual occupa-
ton. She has always desired to own the
Ottoman Empire. The last desire is al
overpowering one and has led her to
make the first move toward securing a
foothold upon the Turkish border with a
view to unlimited conquest of the domin-
ions of the Sultan by instigating the
revolution in Bulgaria and tribing the
Prime Minister to betray and overthrow
the legitimate ruler. Then, with great
GOODNESS and mendacity, after having
caused all the trouble, the Russian Gov
eminent comes forward as peace maker
and demands the right to adjust the
affairs of the country" PRUSSIA is
fighting her part of the present war for
what is left of the Turkish Empire.
England has shifted European politics
so as to keep Russia out of CONSTANT
nople for more than two hundred years.
Now she is Offering Constantinople for
Russia's help in the struggle with Ger
many. If Russia gets Constantinop.e,
and it seems that she will, there will be
open to her the old road to Egypt, Per
STA and India which has been used by
all the conquerers of those countries
during historic times. But England, il
is said, will bar the way by giving
France district of country in Syra
lying between Russia's part of Turkey
=. and the English possessions.)

A Year of Gain for Women.

In the United States 1915 saw a
tremendous gain the economic and
physical welfare Of women and chill
dren Eight states passed laws pro-
viding for pensions for mothers. In
six others the divorce laws were
strengthened. Seven states took the
first steps toward giving women
equal suffrage and. although the
movement was defeated in Massa-
chusetts, New York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, this year It is expected
Iowa, South Dakota and West Nir-
ginia will reverse the result. Three
states passed laws opening more po-
litical offices to women. Four states,
including Kansas and Massachusetts,
passed new labor laws for women and
children, limiting the hours, and the
maximum wage movement made dis
tinct advance. Three states put wife
and husband on an equal footing In
property rights. New Jersey au-
thorized women policemen. Oregon

TALKS ON THRIFT
THRIFT IN THE HOME.

Thrift is good management and no.
where is good management more man
ifest than in the home. You can soon
tell what manner Of housckcepcr the
wife is, for the impress of her ideals
and ideas is on every hand. She can
make her part drudgery or she can
make it pleasure. Men fail i'm bust
ness and the world knows il; but how
many home failure there are of which
the world never hears.
1t is easy to detect the woman who
fails as a houscEecpcr II you sec the
dishes unwashed, the children IN
kempt clothes strung all over the
house, the bath Uttered, the corners
dirty and general air of neglect. you
may depend upon it she has failed as
a business housekccper She does not
know how.
Writing in the Ladies Home Jour
nal, one woman tells how she sue
cecds as a homcmaker and as a bust
ness woman in the home. She aims
at simplicity. She has simple furn-
ishings, but good. She has no "parlOr"
that abomination of olden time, but
living room, whore they really live.
Most parlOrs are merely to look at,
not to use. She has simple meals
things they are all stuck on" as her
little boy puts it, but lots Of them
Boxed beans only but lots Of them
and good And who couldn't make a
meal on the beans mother used to
bake?
She has no curtains at the win
dows; her windows are for light and
air, not TO display curtains and catch
the dust and keep out the sunlight
She wastes no food. She allows the
children to take only so much as they
can eat and no more. If they leave
any food on the plate, the next meal
begins with that cold plate' Her
garbage pail is for waste. not food.

cleans It once year, but that is all.
She has order in tho kitchen. She
saves time by having things in order
She doesn't dry her dishes, but
"scalds" them and lets them dry
themselves-and they can do it better
than she.
She uses a "letter press" to "iron"
socks and towels and coarse articles
that other women break their backs
over to no useful purpose
A flrelesS cooker saves gas ana
time and food. She keeps biscuit
flour mixed with the proper proper
ton Of salt and baking powder and
biscuits for her oven i'm five minutes,
She has all her kitchen utensils handy,
cans and receptacles labeled, and
thus she saves steps. Some women
walk too much on their Jobs. She
always has change In the house, runs

Peter not only commanded the Grip

hand and raised him up. This was
practical phase of Peters kindly

From that time on he praised God. In
