MILAN AND FREEMAN.

The people of this congressional district are entirely familiar with the representation which, togetfier with those in the other districts of the state they received during the first two years of the Wilson administration. They have not forgotten that their interests were made secondary to the demands of the democratic party, and they know what progress was made towards the carrying out of the de- mand of the south that New England be strangled.
 It was this lowing to the party whip and the enactment of legislation which was detrimental to the manu- featuring interests of this part of the country that caused them to stand solidly together two years ago for change in their representation in Washington. They accomplished it by a handsome majority and the re- suit has been that Congressman Free man has been diligently laboring in behalf Of eastern Connecticut and not neglecting his own state for the pur- pose of building. up the south. Con- gressman Freeman has lived up to expectations. He has given conscien- tious and constant service. He has in fact made good.
 It is therefore important, in con nection with the selection of a re- publican president, that he should be sent back to Washington to aid in the restoration of the republican pTinci- ples of protection.
 Equally so is it true of Senator Me Lean. Connecticut requires his strength and influence in the upper house of congress where his record is already one of which the people of Connecticut are proud. Return them both to Washington and make it cer- tain that Charles E. Hughes will have such supporters from Connecticut as he and the state can place. full re- liance in.

and the reaching of an understand ing with the entente. Italy appeared to be doing little. It was-much in contrast to what was expected of that nation with It's large and efficient army, but once 1t got into action it gave a good account of itself and it has proved veritable thorn in the side of Austria ever since. Italy failed to come to the assistance of those small nations across the Adriatic when the Teutonic drive was being made through Serbia and Montene- gro, but its fighting in the north has been consistent and positive. Only once has 1t been forced back by the enemy and then for only a brief time. Its offensives have come at telling times and even as it worked its way across the mountains for the capture of Gorizia. it is even now advancing upon Trieste in a manner which prom ises to result in the successful outcome of it's campaign and the capture of that important objective. This is in- dicated by its latest blow which in- ficted a loss of 39,000 in killed, wounded and prisoners upon the Aus trians who are defending the big sea- port of the dual monarchy. At the same time it is contributing through its navy and through forces sent into Albania and to Saloniki to the general cause of the allies, so that while Italy may be considered to be slow it is nevertheless sure and 1t is an import ant factor in the allied cause.

soFTENs THE SKIN.

Bran baths have softening effect upon the skin. They are said to Ne bran may be bought at a feed store and used as desired. A bag of cheese cloth one foot and half square is full as an ordinary pine pillow. This may be used twice. It is put into the bath and is thoroughly soaked and squeezed until the water is brown and full of bubbles. The water should be quite warm and one stays in the bath only few minutes. Massage of the entire body following this bath is ben- efcial in it's effects. The bather should rest for at least ten minutes between the bath and massage

WOVEN FLOWER FORMS.

Little woven flowers are simple to make and are an effective way to de- velop small flower forms. They should not measure more than one-half inch when finished. and if made in different colors and grouped together will be wonderfully attractive. -5
 Mark little half inch circles as a guide and then carry the thread back and forth, dividing the circle, until ten radi are formed. An extra radius is added to make the number uneven. The needle is then brought up in the center where the threads cross and woven over and under each thread for a fourth of an inch. Yellow lines. with the weaving in brown, lavender, with yellow center, and pink and light green, are some of the attractive com binations that will make an attractive way to develop wreath and festoon designs

NEW COLA RS,

Nothing ornaments a gown more than pretty collars and cuffs and both biouses and gowns can ke fresheDed in this way. The new, long sailor collars are particularly attractive, and often form the principal trimrning
 An especially good looking collar, seen the other day, was finished along the edge with mitered insertion. Above the insertion on the material, blue dots were embroidered at regular in tervals. The insertion and lawn were machine hemstitched together, which added to the collar.
 Another collar, made of net, was finished with a border of sheer lawn, hand embroidered The lawn was ap- rliqued over the net and tiny Ar menian lace was sewed around the edge. A double collar of organdie was especially pleasing. The upper collar was smaller and decorated with a lit

today by the National Hughes Ali ance, :n New York. Dean Gay lines up with Professors Haskins, Bullock, Coolidge, Hart and Wendell as a sup porter of Hughes:
 The choice between the opposing candidates for the Presidency is mo- mentous when national decisions of unusual gravity must be made. When our abnormal prosperity, due prim- arily to the war, is followed by the in- evitable depression, we shall need the intelligent cooperation of our gov ernment with business enterprise, great and small, for efficient organiza- ton at home and for energetic devel- opment of trade abroad.
 Particularly in ;he formulation and maintenance of our foreign policy an exceptionalT responsibility will rest upon the President and his official ad- visers. Much depends on his charac ter, wisdom and firrnness. For the sake of our national unity and ideals, we should choose a man who will express in clear, consistent policy and in cour- ageous action our will to be a strong or well as a just nation.
 It is because believe MT. Hughes is fitted by his training and his high sualities for this task that shall vote for him."

LONG AVIATION TRIPS.

The recent attempt of Aviator Carl strom to fly from Chicago to New York between sunrise and sunset, without stopping. distance just un- der 1900 miles, was one of the longest ever undertaken in this country It was an ambitious effort and one in which there was much confidence that he would succeed and he would un- doubtedly have accomplished it but for a loosened nut on the gasoline pipe. This trouble was easily over come once he had alighted but he could not afford to refuse such a mat ter the proper attention and respect once it was discovered.
 Shaken loose by the vibrations of the machine, this slight trouble was sufficient to prevent the accomplish ment of the test. but the actual time he was in flight, eight and half hours, indicates how well in every particular except that of alighting, he accomplished his journey in the air.
 This shows what progress is being made in aviation in this country. There has been a steady improvement in the machines and those who oper- ate them have been showing increased skill as the result of the knowledge which they have gained through prac- tice. Carlstrom's effort shows no se- rious defect. His machine and his ability are unquestionably equal to the task which he undertook, and there is every reason to believe should he attempt the same thing tomorrow he would succeed. He has made an excellent demonstration of the en- durance of the aeropiane as well as it's operator.

What Will We Decide?

MT. Editor: The tariff the south forced on the country in 1893 and 1857 and, the tariff of 1913 are identical This in itself is enough to cause the overthrow of Mr Wilson and his par ty. We must not forget the south is in the saddle in the Wilson admins tration and Mir Wilson's theories in his histoAy of the secession, that the south was right but outnumbered by the north, had much to do with what was done in this and the last congress.
 Much has been done to revive old sectional antiquities supposed to be buried beyond resurrection. We see the stroke of southernism in the re- south has been staggering out of the pit of poverty since the Civil war, the politicians of the party that rules that section of the country are not an inch in advance of the politicians of that section during the days of slavery as far as their economic sentiments are concerned. The voters of our country are cursed with short memories. Why it is that regardless of repeated ex- perience of what a democratic tarig has done to the country. the people are ever ready to be hypnotized by the purring voice of the free trade orator? Is it not enough to know that there have been nine changes of the tariff and several less destructive of our in dustries since our last war with Eng IdUQ |! we nave 1OfSdken protection four times for free trade, and only to return to protection by pressure of facts. Let us not fancy, because we may be protected by labor unions, we can vote for free trade. If we do some fine morning we will wake up in the soup house or bread line., We have prosperity due to the war, still Dun's review shows since Wilson's election an increase in bankruptcies from 15, ,452 to 22,f56 and liabilities of bankrupts greater by one hundred million than in 1912, twice as great as during the term of Roosevelt and Taft combined. We can recall the depression that hung over the nation in 1914. We know it followed in the wake of the Underwood tariff law. This depression continued into the fall of 1914, and until we be- gan to receive large orders for our products. This is what saved Ameri- can industry and American labor from being flat on it's back. When this war ends we will need high tariff to pro- test this country, and the period be- tween the passage ot the Underwood law and the outbreak of the war proved that the Underwood tariff law was not a tariff of protection. The democratic promise of 1912 to lower the cost of living 1nade many converts to Wilson, the people hoping to secure the necessaries of life cheaper, grasp ed the bait expecting they would have to pay less. Since that time every article of food has risen in price. Do we hear of any promise for decrease? Prices are still soaring and where the man with family and a small income is going to get off this coming winter is sad to foresee. The only relief of fered is in the form of advice to use potato bread, and from an admins tration of peace and plenty advice to learn how to feed yourself. The issue is the tariff, and the voters are. to choose between want and plenty

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
November,

MT Editor: November will be a splendid month. I look for bright, shining weather Nov. ', the day the great American public registers it's disgust of Woodrow Wilson and his slipshod methods at the polls. To the ones who say Woodrow Wilson has kept us out of war;" you have only to reply: ''So did James Buchanan" and his guns are spiked.
 It took a long, bitter war to rectify the horrible blunders and mistakes, to say nothing of harm, of James Bu- chanan, but anyhow he kept us out of war. It is not for a weathe: prophet to interfere in political discussions, but I would like to say before I go further that the only difference be- tween Wilson and Buchanan along war lines is Buchanan armed an American rebel, Jeff Davis, while Wilson armed a foreign rebel, Villa, the great hero that our dear peaceful president loved so ardentIy a short 16 months ago that he and his incompetent secretaries allowed him to secure all the guns he wanted to kill Americans with later on.
 Enough of that. Let's get down to weather.
 One good sized snow storm this month will be about all.
 Beautiful exhibitions of shooting stars are now in order.

CLEANING RUGS.

The following recipe is for cleaning rugs: Add to one gallon of water four cent bars of pure white soap. Place on the fire, stirring occasionally. When it is thoroughly dissolved add three gallons of warm water, one-half ounce of sal soda, one pint of alcohol, one half pound of fuller's earth. Stir viz orously until well mixed. Remove from the fire. It will jelly in a few hours and then it is ready for use.
 To use-A large handful of the soap jelly is put on the rug. beginning at the top. A clean scrubbing brusfn is dipped in fresh warm water and the rug thoroughly scrubbed over a small surface at time. The suds are then scraped off, scrapjng toward you with a thin, hard board. The space is then thoroughly wiped with clear warm water until every particle of the suds is removed.

COLOMBIA'S PROTEsT

Another obstacle to the treaty be- tween this country and Nicaragua for the control of the canal route across that country between the Atlantic and Pacific for which this country would pay $3,000,000. has been set up by Co., lombia. There have been protests against the consummation of this treaty from other of the Central American countries, because they claimed that in ratifying it Nicaragua infringed upon their rights. Now Co., lombia comes forth with the asser- tion that Big Corn and Little Corn islands. some miles off the coast, the control of which would go to the United States if the deal is completed, belong to it and set up as proof that they were given to 1t by Spain over a century ago.
 The islands are small and of little value except strategically and it is for that reason alone in the protection of the Panama canal or in case a ca nal should ever be constructed by the Nicaragua route that this country has any interest in them. Nicaragua. de- spite the claim of Colombia, has for many years had control of them. The South American country has showed. no interest therein and has not sought to exercise it's rights because of the practical unimportance of the islands Whether 1t would now, even though the treaty had been ratified by both sides, is doubtful if Colombia and the United States were on the best of terms. They are not because the claim of Colombia resulting from the Panama trouble has never been ad- busted and 1t doubtless gees an op- lportunity to embarrass the negotia- itions between the two countries.

WOMAN IN LIFE AND IN THE KITCHEN
DEEP BREATHING.

Deep breathing, sensible breathing, every day breathing-long life depends upon it, good looks always. Yet nine-tenths of the worlds creatures hate to breathe, and young folks es- pecialiy are as niggardly in the matter of filling their lungs with clean, whole some air as if they though they were dealing with poison. Twenty long breaths night and morning will quick ly improve the looks of girl who has begun to go down with study and carelessness. and surely there is no besutifler cheaper than washing the lungs out with clean, fresh air.

A CHEMISE HINT.

If you are a lover of the empire effect in chemises9@you will appreciate this way of obtaining it. Make your chemise as usual, either the straight kind or the envelope variety. Crochet a neat little heading around the top and then make about twelve or four teen inches of beading insertion to match the edge. Sew this across the front of your cnenlise at the high waisted line and rIn ribbon through it, tying in a bow at the front and sewing the ends where the insertion ends, just to the front of the side seams. You will have the high waisted effect and 9 decorative one as well.

FOUR YEARS OF WILSON TOO
 MUCH,

With the campaign for the presiden- tial election virtually closed, during which there have been fully discussed , the important issues, to say nothing of those which have been readily set aside by the electorate as unimpor- tant, there still remains an important duty for the party workers to per- form, and that is the getting out of the vote on Tuesday.
 To the great bulk of voters such an appeal is unnecessary and it is strange that it should be required at all, in view of the humiliating posi- ton in which this country has been placed before the nations of the world, the unstable basis upon which the present industrial activity is ex- isting, the violated and unkept prom ises, the free trade policies which have been adopted, the extravagant and unbusinesslike management of the nations affairs, the imposition of war" taxes to make up for the loss of revenue with the country at peace, the dangerous foreign policy of words and not deeds. all of which has ac- companied the present administra- ton, but there are those who cling to the mistaken idea that one vote makes no difference, and it is this spirit of disinterestedness for ones own well fare which it is necessary to over come.
 It is the duty of every loyal Ameri- can citizen to go to the polls on Tues day and vote. There is no doubt but what Connecticut will give the repub- lican candidates a rousing majority but it is the time of times for show ing that Connecticut is still the strong supporter of protection and republi- can principles that it always has been. Four years of Wilson is not only enough but too much.

voting machines is to be made there for the benefit of the boy pupils. This is not as we understand it, a strictly new idea, but if it has been tried be- fore in Connecticut or at least in this part of Connecticut, the fact has es- capped our notice. The experiment should be followed by every town in the state which uses voting machines. Voting is one of the duties and priv ileges of citizenship, and if it is pos- sible to instruct the boy in the schools in the manner of casting his vote it should be done. We are surprised that the plan has not been adopted in the Hartford public high school. We hope it will be.-Hartford Post.

RUSSIAN TURBANS.

Russian effects are marked in mill linery at present. The Cossack turban of velvet or fur is as smart as one could wish, and becoming to a large percentage of women. A Russian ern- broidered motif is set at the front of the hat, and the soft crown is some times slightly peaked or merely high and rounded.

cRETONNE COVERS.

Scarfs of cretonne are neat and es- pecially attractive for girls room. The pincushion and nap pillow should be covered to match. A scarf to fir the top of the dresser should be seal loped all around, but one that hangs at the sides need have only the ends scalloped, the sides being he,nmed. Rather heavy embroidery floss should be used for working the scallops The heavy floss not only facilitates the work but is more in harmony with the material than a fine cotton would be.
