Washington.-It has been definitely
announced that President Wilson will

the senate March s to consider nomi-
nations.
Whether he will take 1t again at
the public ceremony on March 8, or
merely make that the occasion for de-
livering his inaugural address has

A ruling by the state department
makes 1t clear that the president may
wait and not take any oath at all un-
til March 5, IL he chooses to do so.
There is no i%nterregnum between
the expiration OF the term OF one pres
ident and the beginning Of the term
Of his successor" says the state de-
partment's ruling, although there
may be a slight interval when the ex-
ecutive power is suspended"
The opinion is given In a circular
letter made public by Assistant Sec
rotary Adee.
Precedent Cited.
Precedent is cited showing that
President Hayes, who was elected for
the term beginning March 4, 1877.
which day came on Sunday, was
sworn IN at 7:05 pm, on March 3, at
the White House by Chief Justice
Waite and that the oath was again
taken by President Hayes on March
5 after his inaugural address.
The letter also cites an opinion by
Chief Justice Marshall given at the
time when a presidential term first
commenced on Sunday in which the
chief justice and his associates advo-
Gated %postponing the oath till Monday

quire It being taken on Sunday"

Eased His Conscience.

Dean Buckland when at Westmin-

brown paper parcel which he received
one day by post. After many wrap
pings had been unfolded he found a
small black splinter of oak about an
inch and a half long. The writer of
the unsigned note accompanying the
parcel said that when he was boy,
many years before, he had Clipped the
splinter off the coronation chair. AS
age advanced his conscience grew trou-
blesome, and he asked the dean to be
kind enough to restore the splinter to
its place.-Pall Mall Gazette.

TO MOTHERS
The Red Cross Needs Your Help
to Save Women and Babes
in Europe and to Care
for Our Soldiers.

Dear Mothers: Surely you will do
what you can to relieve the sufferings
of the homeless, Wretched mothers and
children of war-tOrn EurOpe-ragged,
starving, freezing, tuberculOus women
and babies who for three years have
endured the horrors of hell. They
are your sisters and your sisters
children. The end is not yet for them.
Think what they must go through this
winter. Think of yourself and your
little ones here in America, safe and
comfortable.
In the trenches "over there" are mil
lions of men undergoing indescribable
hardship and suffering and death to
save the liberty-lOving world from the
kaiser and his savage hOrdes. Think
of them. Remember they are stand
ing between you and the fate that Cod
less, "kultur" mad Germany poured
upon the women and children of north
ern France, northern Italy, Belgium,
Poland and ROumania.
OF course you cannot go to Europe
and nurse and feed and clOthe and
shelter those sufferers. But the Amer
lean Red Cross is over there doing it
the noblest labor in the worlds history.
Our Red Cross is nursing and feeding
and clothing and sheltering them. And
it is conducting thousands of hospitals
and ambulance lines and comfort sta
tiOns for American soldiers and the
soldiers of our allies.
Yet the Red Cross cannot do enough
because it hasn't half enough mem
bers. Therefore a campaign is being
made to get fifteen million members by
Christmas eve. 1t is an honor to be-
long to the organization.
You will join, won't you? You will
see that your husband enrOlls, and that
each of the children is enrOlled-sure
ly. Annual membership costs $1.00.
An additional dollar brings the Red
Cross Magazine for year.

Boiling Canned Vegetable.

The intermittent method of sterili-
cation calls for boiling vegetables in
the water bath after they have been
placed in the jars an hour cache day
for three days. This allows alternate
periods of rest, in which the dormant
resistance spores may lay off their
heavy protective wall and begin active
growths. In the growing state the
bacteria are easily destroyed by the
next period of boiling. For quart and
two-quart jars a daily boiling of one
and a half to two hours is recon-
mended.

WILL WE HELP
The RED Cross?
Organization Right Now Keeping
Millions of Destitute Men,
Women and Children
Alive in Europe.
All Americans at Home Must
Back Up This Great Work
EffeCtuaIIy-Ioin the Red
Cross Today.

The American Red Cross has on It's
hands one of the worlds greatest and
grimmeSt jobs. In order to do the
work, the organization must have at
once fifteen million members. 1t now
has five million on the rolls and is
campaigning to secure the ten million
additional members by Christmas eve.
Every man, woman and child in this
community ought to belong to the Red
Cross. Being a member doesn't mean
that one is expected to go to Europe,
carry wounded soldiers off the battle
fields and nurse them In the hospitals.
1t doesn't mean that one need go to
the devastated areas of France, or Bel
GUM, or Poland, or Serbia, and give
personal care to the starving, freezing,
naked homeless women and children
there.
But it does mean that those of US
who stay comfortably at home will do
as much as we can in every way to
back up the organization already at
work lover there"
1t does mean that the men among
US will contribute our bit to help our
brothers fighting the cause of liberty
In Europe.
1t does mean that the mothers
among US will knit and sew for the
.wretched mothers of Europe and their
pitiful babies.
1t does mean that our young women
will show practical sympathy for the
young women along the western
'front.' and in Serbia who have suffered
unspeakable cruelties at the hands of
bestial enemy soldiers.
1t does mean that our children be
made TO understand the curse upon
the children of Europe, and be taught
to make some sort of sacrifice for the
cause of humanity.
1t does mean that each of US will do
what he can individually to supply
plenty of comforts for our soldiers
fighting the enemy and necessities for
the wounded in hospitals.
Stricken Europe is crying to heaven
for relief, and Providence is answering
that prayer through the Instrumental
ity of the American Red Cross.
Now If it had unlimited funds but
only comparatively few members, the
Red Cross would be unable to do the
work before 1t. The first great need

Last Stand OF Beavers.

Far up In the Businesses of the
southern Rockies, hidden in one of the
most inaccessible hooks that remain
in this country today, what is probably
the largest existing colony of beavers
has established itself for a last stand.
The beaver was once one of the most
abundant of our American animals, but
the ease with which he was trapped
and the value of his fur soon drove him
far on the road to extinction. Soon
only the most stringent Of protective
legislation was able to save him, but
now he seems to be coming back"
and wherever he finds favorable To-
cation he increases rapidly.

Lies Treasure Stores.

Success and contentment begin With
the realization that life represents g
valuable treasure. We may liken life
to a field. At first the owner values
it for wild berries; then, ceaSing to
be a wanderer, he becomes an agri-
culturist, and values 1t for its rich har-
vest; grown wiser still, he discovers
coal; amazed at the treasure, he digs
and finds silver and gold; astounded
he goes deeper, and 10! the seam is
full of diamonds. And every life holds
all the strata of underlying and I'M

There is no better exercise for in
