sTIFFENtNG THE EMBARGO.

A thorou sh study of tine matter ef keeping supplies away from Germany mas been made by this country. IL has been carried on in coopera ton
 with England and the result Is that both Of these countries have reached an agreement that goods which have
 formerly been sent to the northern neatrais. and. which there is good req son for believing have been sent to Germany from those countries, will henceforth be Aiaut off.
 It is a war measure pHre and simple end aimed solely at denying to the
 enemy those things ever which they
 have control. There is no disposition
 to harm neutrais. when they are con- ducting themselves as neutraIs should, hut there is q firm determination that when neutrats dispose of their sup
 plies to beliigerent that is fighting this country the United States is go- ing to prevent the shipping of such goods to the neutrals as they may need to take care Of their own wants
 Prem the way in which this country looks at the matter if is the first daty Of a neutral to look out for its own wants. If it is so negligent of itself, or so greedy for the high prices which the belhgsrent pays that it denies it. self of necessities. the fault lies with tIiS HeutTAi anu nut WitH other p6i" Egerent nations from which it hopes to make up the deficiency.
 Thus the new order, prohibiting the sale of coal to neutral ships except that they nave government approval. IS simply a matter of self protection. It is measure which is necessary i'll order to extend the control over such trade. and the neutrals must re- alize that there is no one to blame for 1t but themselves, barring Ger many.

4 PILLOW CASE.

A particularly lovely pillow slip for every day use is made in envelope style. The triangular f5ap hangs down below the center of the slip. and an inset Of hlet crochet initiating deco rates the point. The flap should have a wide hennstitched hem and the ends of tho case should be heInstitched in the same way. Across the ends and around the hem of the flap an edsins of fiiet crochet lace should be applied perfectly straight and flat. This edg- ing should not be more than two inches wide. Of course. a pair of pill low clips of this kind could not be quickly made. but then they are in tended for best daytime wear, and will repay in 1oveliness for the time evolv- ed in crocheting the lace and insets. which, after all, can be accomplished in odd moments by the woman who crochets

CANNING
Ferrentina cueumbers.


 The use of brine in preparing vege- tables for winter use has much to commend it to the consideration of the housewife. No cooking is re- quired by this process, the salt brine being the only requirement.. An inn portant feature of this method is that vegetables thus prepared may be served as they are or they may be freshened by soaking in clear water and cooked as fresh vegeta bles.
