WILSON'S WORDS ARE
 WISDOM BIG LONDON TRADE PAPER PRINTS

London, Sept. 28.-Commenting on the phrase in President Wilson's reply to the Pope's note, in which he said that tno peace can rest securely upon political or economic restrictions meant to benefit some nations and cripple Or embarass others, upon yin- ldfctive action of any sort, or any kind of revenge or deliberate injury, ''The Economist. says:
 Tn other words the power which must now be. recognized as speaking with the weightiest voice in the coun- ci1s of the Allies has brushed aside all the utilities of the Paris conference and shown us the way to a peace which shall not be inaugurated by the raising of trade barriers all over the world but by a real extension of free trade and of ,co-operation<be between na.. tions for the material welfare of man. kind. In view of the scarcity of food and raw materials that will face us when the war is over, any measures that will imply restrictions on our inn ports of these essentials to industry would be a blunder that might seri- ously handicap our industrial recov- cry.
 President Wilson's peace promises us world in which mankind may be united into one great throbbing hive of industry. in which the best workers will win battles by turning out the best stuff, and the worlds output and consumption of goods may be quick ened to an extent undreamed of."

cheerful credit Is Businesslike.

It is a we'll known fact that big bus mess houses throughout the world would not be able to continue in :busi, ness if it were not for credit. They buy on credit cry largely. The Amer ican ibusinessnans wage earner, and families of moderate means will find it just as necessary for their best vel. fare to make use. of credit combined One of the difficulties often found is the fact that credit is not readily ex- tended unless there is @ bank account or other collateral available for se- cur4ty. Cheerful Credit recognizes no such necessities. It enables every one who wishes to take advantage of this modern method of buying clothes. No payments being made at the time of purchase and the purchase price divided into small weekly or monthly accounts at the convenience of the purchaser.

HOW TO REMOVE THOSE STAINS IN
 YOUR CLOTHING
If You Know the Cause of the Stain Here's the
 Eradicator

To give clothes a longer period of
 fabrics which may appear to be hope
 1essiy stained, is the object of new
 publication just issued by the United
 States Department of Agriculture.
 Lady Macbeth might have had less
 trouble with that spot if she could
 have read this bulletin on .'The Re-
 moyal of Stains from Clothing and Other Textiles.'' Uncle Sam says that if the housewife knows the cause of a stain, she can find a comm onsense way to get rid of it by following the directions given in this bulletin. Meth | ods are outlined for the removal of practically any kind of stain, from acids" all the way through the al- phabet to .swhitewash.' They have been tested by the home econimics experts of the. department.
 One of the first requisites in re- | moving stains says the bulletin, is to
 know the kind of fabric which is spotted and, if possible, the nature of the stain. Some stain removers which will given admirable results on cotton or linen may, if applied to wool | en or silk, remove pieces of the fabric as well as the stain. Likewise, stain removers which are entirely satisfac- tory for cleaning silk or woolen ma- terials cannot always be used for re- rnoing stains from vegetable flores, such as cotton or linen. Similarly, | treatment which will remove some stains immediately will cause those of a different nature to take f1rmer hold on the fabric.
 The second. cardinal principle in l spot removal is to work while the stain is fresh. Cold or lukewarm water is usually the housewife's best bet for Ia first step, the bulletin indicates if the nature Of the stain Is not known and If the fabric Is not injured by wat | CT. Hot water should not be used until it is determined that the stain Ling material is such that it will not be
 "set'' by heat. Stains from meat Ejuice, blood, egg, milk and other ma terials containing protein are set by hot water.
 l If stains are of such a nature that they will not yield to laundering or | sponging with water or with water and soap, it is necessary to use one or more of a number of chemicals
 Besides water and soap the bulletin
 names as the substance most useful in removing stains. Javel1e water, po- tassium pernanganate solution, oxalic acid solution, ammonia water, carbon l tetrachlorid, French chalk, and cream of tartar, each of which may be used l successfully, provided the right one is used at the right time. Detailed l instructions for treating various stains are contained in the publication. Cop ies of the publication, Farmers Bull Ietin S61, may be had free SO long as 1 the supply lasts, on application to the United States Department of Agricul- ture, Washington, D. c.

other Spartan ruler. For three years they lived very happily, and had one daughter, Hermoine. Paris, son of 1Priam, King of Troy, persuaded her during her husbands absence, to fly with him to Troy. All the former suitors of Helen, who had been bound by an oath before she made her seIec- ton of husband. to defend her and restore her to whenever won her hand, took up arms against Menelaus in order to recover her. They suc- ceeded in taking Troy in 11S4, B. G., when Helen regained the favor of her husband and returned with him to Sparta. After the death of Menela0o Helen fled to Rhodes. Here Polyxo, queen of Rhodes. detained her, and to punish her for being the cause of a war in which Polyxo's husband had perished had her hung to tree.

WOMEN HERE TO
 GIVE BATTLE.T0 WHITE SLAvERS
Experienced Worker il Travellers Aid Work
 Placed at R. R. Station.

Aroused by sensational white slavery disclosures to the importance of giving protection to young girls travelling unescorted, especially girls from other cities seeking homes in Bridgeport, the Fanny Crosby cir- cle, Kings Daughters, has obtained the services of Miss Katherine l.. Sabin. an experienced worker in travellers aid movements.
 Miss Sabin began her work at the Bridgeport railroad station yesterday, ing up her headquarters at a desk in- stalled in the station building, where all travellers will find her within easy access. A5-
 Mrs. Orville Rector. who, as head of the Fanny Crosby circle, has taken a leading part in the bringing of Miss Sabin to this city, is confident that Miss Sabin's presence in Bridgeport will be a great moral force.
 "If the Fanny Crosby circle, with no practical experience in this sort of work, has been able. within the last year, to protect Is girls. and provide for them until they could be taken to their homes,' said Mrs. Rector, what a field there must be here for one trained in the work!"
 Mrs. Rector referred to the recent disclosures in New York city of the systematic shipment on coal barges of unprotected young women from water front cities into New York city, and pointed out this as a startling sample of the need of protection that may be ccomplished in this city.
 Miss Sabin comes here from Scran- ton, where she has. been doing the same work. Her office equipment at inc railroad station was a gift to the Kings Daughters by George B. Clark & Go.

CRACK-NUT SUNDAY

Next Sunday will be Crack Nut Sun
 day, According to religious law and custom, laid down centuries ago, you have the privilege of taking with you
 to church a bag of nuts, and to crack
 them and eat them during services. You may make as much noise as you
 wish while engaged in the perform
 ance of this rite and right-and you
 may strew the shells on the floor of the sacred edifice. provided-and this seems an important proviso-the cler- gyman is inclined to admit the valid ity of this ancient custom.
 In the good old days in England and colonial America, the person who did not go to church was likely to be thrown into the donjon keep, or be exposed to public ridicule and ripe vegetables in the pillory or the stocks. Heretics and infidels were burned at
 the stake, and witches were hanged. Sermons were interminabIe affairs, beginning at firstly and ending with about four hundred and forty -fifthly. witch each proposition designed to prove the utter unworthiness of hu- | manity for anything short of eternity in hell. A spirit of solemnity and fear brooded over the meeting house.. and l the congregation hardly dared to | I forth his message.
 But once a year, on the Sunday pre- 1 ceding Michaelmas, the congregation was permitted to relax. Crack-Nut l Sunday was a day of joy. Each wor- shipper, no matter how old or pious, | went to the meeting house with bags
 or pockets filled with nuts. Many took with them hammers. stones or other nut-cracking devices. When the min ister began to preach, the congrega- tion began to crack. Shout as he
 might, the clergyman could not make
 himself heard above the racket. She preacher warned his audience of the
 wrath to come, and painted hell in bright and lurid word-pictures, but
 his audience paid no heed, but calmly cracked and munched their nuts. The origin of this remarkable GUS l tom is. as the police-court reporters
 says, ''shrouded in mystery" In some undefined way it was supposed to
 honor St. Michael, 'the fighting ah- gel" the chief of the angelic host.
 This militant saint is ment1oned five
 times in the Bible, and always as en-
 gagged in battle.
 ! While the characteristics of St. Mi chael are such as to endear him to
 the Irish people, it is the Italians who
 now most generally celebrate his fes- l tival, which begins on the evening of
