Free Speech

There is at the bnac of most
of the disloyalty evidenced in
this country, one of the basic
principles upon which this gov.
ernment was fuundcd-frccdom
of speech. The trouble, how
ever, lies not with the principle
itself 30 much as with it's or
ronons application.
First we must realize. which
many OF our malcontcnts have
not, that there can be no such
thing rs absolute free speech.
Theories aud honest views as
to the ,xpcdirncy or justice Of
proposed laws are perfectly
proper before the enactment OF
such laws, The undisputcd
right Of the majority To rule
imposes upon The minority, af-
ter its enactment, the duty of
absolute obedience. Any other
Wow of the matter tends to the
destruction of the very fabric of
free government.
In times of peace and quiet
ness this view OF the citizens
duty to government has always
been literally construed, and
much really reasonable criti-
cism has been passed over and
condonrd. From this lcnicncy
there has arisen iii the minds
Of many nnthinkiug persons nm
idea that the right to express
ones thoughts, no matter how
reasonable those thoughts may
be, ia one of the inalienable
rights of free mon.

War is indeed n stern business,

Bright among these is the won

Everyday Helps.

Now that milk and cream have ad-
vanced in price with other food ma
terials. the housewife will not feel
like buying too literally, yet before
the three meals OF the day are pre-
pared. extra milk is often wanted.
1t Is the part Of economy and good
condensed milk and cream on hand
These can be reduced according to di-
rections and used with perfect satis-
faction in cooking. The goods put up
by reliable houses are prepared under
strictly sanitary and scientific condi-
tions, so there IL no need to fear on
that score.
As soon as a can Of milk is opened,
the air is admitted and germ life may
ma entrance. Moreover, the action Of
the air on the tin container and the
contents may result in condition Of
unwholesomeness. possibly Of pto-
maine poisoning. This may be entire
ly obviated by ordinary, common
sense precautions.
As soon az the can Of milk 10 OPEN

tons with little boiled water. II all
the condensed milk is not used at
once, cover tightly and set on ice.
Housewives sometimes wonder why
their washing is not as white as that
OF a neighbor who takes less pains. It
may be due to tho bluing. A good
bluing is strong enough that a few
drops will tinge the water the right
hue; poor bluinI is thin Ind watery
and takes much more to d6 the work.
A flrst-class article gives clothes the
clear, blue-white cast Of new goods:
a cheap bluing causes them to have q
gray. slightly blue shade, suggestive
Of poor washing and insufficient rims

spots on the garments which look
like rust marks.
Now that it will so soon be the sea-
son for wash goods, we need not be
prevented from selecting delicate
colors on account Of the fear that gar
sonable care should keep them in
good condition.
The first time the articles are wash
ed. set the colors by wetting in a So
luton Of five quarts of warm water,
one cupful Of salt, and tablespoon
full Of turpentine. Let stand for ten
minutes and wash quickly, not rub
bing any soap directly upon the fab
ric. Make q slightly sudsy water with
water once, then in borax water, US
ing ono tablespoonful to each four
quarts.
Keep a piece Of new goods handy
SO that you can compare the color of
the washed. dried garment with the
| original shade. II it has changed even
slightly. It can be renewed by getting
package Of dye for cotton goods.
Dissolve Just enough to use once or
and add to the final rinsing water and
starch. as II 1t were bluing. Bottle
any Of the remaining dye. It is possi-
BILE to get a dye and soap combined
which comes in tubes, which is very
convenient Dry colored garments in
tho shade.
II the odor Of moth balls is dislik-
ed. try sprinkling powdered tobacco
and alum through the garments to
be packed away. An important pre-
ventive of pests is an air-tight or in
sect proof chest, box or paper bag
container. See that garments are per-
fectly clean before being put away as
soiled spots will often breed insect
life.

Tho potato is an Interesting topic
this spring. and the planting Of pota-
toes in due season will also be inter-
esting. So 1t may be interesting to
know that the eyes on the different
parts Of the potato have different seed
value. The seed end Of potato is
where the most eyes are found. and Is
the opposite part Of the potato from.
tho stem end. But there are eyes on
the stem end, although fewer in num-
ber, and there are eyes around tho
middle Of the potato. Experiments
which have been made show that the
ground which would produce 100
bushels Of potatoes II planted with

neglect to prepare for them is to in
vite disaster.
The best preparation is to know
what to do instantly so that valuable
time may not be lost by panic or in
decision. 1t is especially important
where there are children in the house,
that definite instruction be given them
on emergency conduct at time when
they are calm and able to reason out
the why's and wherefores. Often this
training can be given in the nature of
a play or drill or even a contest.
Every one in the family should have

matches should never be thrown into
a waste paver basket. An apparently
dead match fay contain a smouldering
spark which is liable to develop into
a blaze when there Is no one in the

that cloths. dry mops, and paper

little ones with the thought at all

ternate the toothbrush drill with

It. She will explain just why mea:-
sometimes, and that the bad taste on

Among the things we all ought to
know are, what to do when someone
is faint; when a poisonous substance
has been taken by mistake: when a
cut, bruise or burn requires tmme-
diate attention: when company comes
unexpectedly; when there is sick

any emergency which may be expect
