TIPS FOR TRAVELLER,

Make a list of things in the trunk and their location. Every delicate garment should be wrapped separately.
 For this towels or sheets of tissue paper will serve, but they should be pinned into place.
 Folds of Eewspapers should be placed between the layers of the more perishab ble things.
 The newspaper is very good, be- cause 1t is so unyielding that wrink- les and bumps cannot dent tt eAcEEh to mark the fabrics beneath.
 It Is useless to try to keep all the heavy things at the bottom, the liRa-t ones at the top. The funk will prvo ably be stood on end or upside down half of the time.
 All one can do is to keep a smooth, even surface for each layer.
 Newspapers arc better than any thing else for stuffing out bows and sleeves.
 Tie in bottle corl<s we'll and put the bottle in the middle of compartments ard, if packed solid:y they will carry all around the world.

SWEATER HOLDER.

Have you ever hung your pet sweat CT away on a coat hanger for a couple of days? If you have. you have prob ably found it stretched most distress ingly when you took it down again. So then. have you hung it ever so care fully. lup on hook?
 Yes Then. of course you have found a most annoying little bump in the wool where it hung.
 So, then perhaps. you have decid ed to keep your sweaters in bureau Gra wer and you have caught them on the edse of the drawer and pulled a thread.
 well. here is a suggestion to make the keeping c. your sweaters truly easy. Have a speciai sweater holder. This special rc:der is no more than a huge embro.d%rI ring of the sort that is used for the handles and tops of knitting bags. Attach ribbon or tape to the ring at each end. and by r7ean's Of this ribbon hang it on a honk. Then pull the sweater through the ring. Several may be placed on the sd me ring without any trouble.
 The ring. to be best fitted for its work, should be wound with satin rih- bon. The quality need not be expen- sive- but the shiny surface of the satin ribbon makes 1t easier to pull the sweaters through the ring ani there is no possibility of splinters from the surface of the wood when it is covered in this way.

OUTCOME OF IssELL- MESSAGE

What must be regarded as the di- rect outcome of the Isbell case, where in Colonel IsbeN of this state and . lieutenant colonel from another state have been subjected 10 much criti- cism for cabling home information re- garding the landing of their com
 mands in France, is the reminder
 which has been given to the officers Of the national guard divisions now
 in the federal service to the effect
 that they are no longer in the states
 service and therefore owe no reports
 of their movements to their govern
 ors.
 Colonel Isbell, for the purpose of informing the relatives of the men under him cabled to Governor Hoi- cemb to the effect that they had ar- rived safely and asked to have the fact published to relieve the anxiety Of those directly interested as well as those indirectly concerned. There is every reason to believe that there was no other motive back of such a mes sage. for Colonel Isbe1l is a trust worthy and faithful soldier, and there is small ground for believing that any agent of Germany would have de- pended upon such information for getting word to his government in view of the other means which are still afforded them for getting such facts when troops are leaving.
 But if it is the opinion of those who are conducting the war that such information is harmful and that it should not be conveyed until the army officials consider it wise. 1t is well that orders dealing directly with this point should be issued and thorough ly understood by officials before they leave these shores. At the same time the censors should be instructed to cover that point also. but 1t is safe to say that there will De no viola tions in the future. whether 1t is con- sidered that harm has been done by the messages or not

A LESSON FROM THE SOLDIERS

When in the reports of the prog ress on the Liberty loan 1t is shown . that the soldiers in the training camps have subscribed to millions of dollars worth of the bonds, there is food for serious reflection on the part of those who are undisturbed in their homes, in their plea sures and in their earn- ings.
 When the young men of the coun- .rys gave their services to the govern ment. went into training to become efficient in the methods. of warfare and gave up their profitable employ ment for the pay of soldier, they made a big sacrifice, the value of which cannot be overestimated, but in doing so they have not lost sight of the fact that they can do more and they have shown their willing ness by their loan subscriptions. Or dinarily it would be figured that they lad already done enough by giving themselves but there is nothing small or selfish about them. They are anxious to go to the limit.
 And in this very action there Is a lesson fer every other individual. There are millions who are in a much better position than the soldiers are for investing in this government loan. The chance to do something for the country should be suniciant to in- spire those at home to at least do their part in furnishing the means for backing the soldiers who are ready to fight for them. their rights and their liberty.
 The Liberty loan closes this week. There are six days in which the re- mainins millions can be subscribed and there should be such a response that the desired goal will be reached before the closing day. No-one should want to be 8 stacker even on the Lib- erty loan.

of war materials Already assembled and ready to be carried away, As long as they remain here they are simply .dsterioratine without doing anyone any good. France is in need of these very things. It has been de- pending upon them for the conduct of the war and had it had adequate shipping facilities they would have been transported before this. The fact of the matter is that those sup plies should be in France instead of here, but inAsmuch as they are not it is but proper that this country should do it's utmost to aid in the transportation, for it is to be real- fixed that whatever aid is extended to France, whether it is money or sup plies. but particularly if it consists of supplies secured by American as- sistasice, means just that much help for ourselves. Our help amounts to nothing, if after it is ready in the shape of supplies which France needs i. is kept on this side of the ocean. The decision therefore is a commend able one and the cargo carriers should be gotten into use at the earliest pos sible moment.

 The best method of making grape juice, the bulletin says, Is to first wash the fruit thoroughly. using cold water. Then weigh the grapes and cold water to every live pounds of grapes. Boif until the pulp and skins lave separated and } oiled down.
 Make bag of double cheeseeloth, large enough to hold the quantity of juice that would fill small bread pan. Tie the top tightly with stout cord and suspsnd it from a strong rail or hook, in such d position that the juice may drip Into the pan' As it requires several hours for so much juice to drip from the bag, it Is best to start 1t dripping early in the eve hing. In that way it can drip all night and be ready for bottling the next day
 through the cheesecloth. add l pound Of sugar to every pounds of grapes and boil for about two minutes; then take good sized bottles with tight in hot water before filling them with juice. Cork them seal with paraffin wax, wrap each bottle in paper and keep in a cool, dark place.
 Candied Citron--MalIe a soda so- lution in the proportion of a quarter one quart of water. Drop the pieces of peeled citron into this when 1t is boilingI and cook until tender. Re move, drain and soak for five hours in alum water. made by adding a bit of alum the size of a Albert to one quart of water. Drain and stand in water containing one tablespoonful of citric acid to each quart. In the morning drain and weigh, and l3ep two cups of the acid water for each two pounds of fruit Boil this water with sugar equal in weight to the fruit, adding the grated rind of two lemons. Cook the citron in thiE syrup until clean and candied roll in powdered sugar and dry slowly.

CAFES HOLD THEIR OWN.

Even greater vogue is promised for the fur cape this year than last. when 1t suddenly came upon the sartoFial horizon after having sojourned in ob- livi0n for many moons. Many of the capes are not unlike those worn by cur grandnothers; they are very quaint in outline. especially those that are shaped to dip at the waistline in back, terminating in two long snEred stole ends which are crossed or tied. The same idea is expressed this year, trasting in color. Thus naoIeskin and ermine are elegantly combined in a get including Q cape, huff of medium size and smart imported fur toque. Deap capes are fashioned of marrow animal skins jC sned together vertical ly running full length with border Of tails and topped by a. square or cir .Cu1ar collar. In some cases the muf- fer is featured but a most collars are adjustable they may easily be regu- lated as to height.

MORE GROUND FOR COMPLAINT

For a long time there have been many critics in England because they do not feel that the navy of that country is doing all that it should. It has been urged that the British and it's allies should go in and drive the Germans out of the holes. Such may be easier said than done. It Is a plan which has not been carried out. Following the taking of the Rus sian islands in the Gulf of Riga and the bottIing up of the Russian fleet .n Neon Sound, The London Mail has expressed the opinicn that tho Brit
 ish fleet should have prevented that
 step. It does not claim that the Brit
 ish fieet should have gone into the
 Baltic. but It doea feel that the
 strength of Great Britain on the wa
 ter should have been 50 brought to bear against the German forces that Ger many would have been obliged to have kept its naval forces at home and thus such an armada against the Russians at this particular time.
 But if it Is considered that there was reason for criticism regarding that matter. it would appear that there was even greater cause for conf- plaint from the loss of the two de- stroyers and the merchantmen which they were conveying in the North sea. Those vessels were on their way from the Norwegian coast to England. They were far from the German base and there were two German light cruis- CTS which were responsible for the destruction and large loss Of life. It was not a case where the sly subna- riI1es were involved and therefore all the more reason why the British navy should have been alert not only to have prevented the disaster but to have kept the scouting vessels where they belonged. Thus while Great Britain has been hearing much com plaint because of the inactivity of it's navy. 1t is likely to hear much more.

RELiEE FOR FRANCE.

The appeal which has been made to the shipping board Of this country by the representatives of France for the extension of relief to that coun- try in the way of vessels has been recognized as a just one. and the de- eision which has been reached to turn over 20 cargo vessels for the use of that country in moving supplies stored on the piers of Atlantic ports must be considered the only thing to do under the circumstances.
 This country has been loaning much money to France. even as it has to other nations allied with it in the war. France has been spending er1or- nous sums of money in this country for the purpose of maintaining it's army and it's people. Frances orders have been filled to the extent O. million to a million and a half tons

FUR ON HATS.

The fur worn as a coat or wrap is repeated in the new winter hats. In the broad briTnnfed ones 1t is the bowl crown that Is made of seal. In sr1all caps the crown and the concaye brin1 that hugs the crown are often both of the fur. An cid fashioned ribbon with quaint embroidered flowers or a two faced one encirclink the crown any tying in a careless bow is an ac- cepted trimming; or a fine wreath of little worsted and bead poeies replaces the ribbon. Worsted flowers. by the way, have lost none Of their vogue. the ingenuity displayed in their make up is most inte esting. Sometime 2 the stems are strung with tiny beads where beads are used as part of the flower

LETTERS TO THE EDITOl
The Tribuiations of Thomas, RichahH
 and Henry-EspeeiaiIy Henry.


 Mir. Editor: J. H. Cummings must 1 have drawn a long breath after un- winding himself from the torturous coils and mazes of his latest epistle Ar Cummings fault is not that he does rot know whole tot. but that I SC much that he knows is not so. Eyj- dently touched by the question, Who is Ireland? he parades iong Socabu- lary of words about imaginary oppo- 1ents whom he terms political per- verts, who are all hirelings of some powerful intrigue against him. Be cause we cited Casement's example for what it was worth, he accuses us of defaming the dead, who can make defense before his death and at his trial, and we. have no intent to in crease the stigma of the verdict nor rediscuss the accusations; but as MT Cummings stumbles here. let us call to remembrance that Mir Easement has brother in the service and that when some petitions were offered for clcmency did Mfr. Cummings hear of relative except perhaps his sister?
 Mr. Cummings parallel between Carson and Easement is akin to his other parallels between his Ireland and the United States and serves we'll to emphasize the difference cf the cases and the men. One mans con- duet led him to the cabinet-the other mans foo!ishrless led him to the gal 4oWS. MT. CHrSon'S adherents-the Ulster Volunteers. are in the trenches almost in body. in the defence of their rights and their country. while MT. Easements tribe is behind the hedges in Ireland shooting at inno- cent policemen. while their literary apolosiats with their pens-really m1ghtfer than their swords, are here and there egging them on to their fate. and giving as much aid and com fort to our enemies as they dare to- Where is the parallel? The contrast is much more in evidence.
 But, if MT. Cummings must give up the question, "Who IS 1reland?" he cannot laugh it off with the inquiry, Who killed Cock Robin?"
 We all know who killed Cock Rob- ir, and also the various members who witnessed his decease and took part In the obseauies. So might Mr Cum nainfs know. had he read the fable to sood advantaSe-but we trust that some glad day we may also read of the final doom of all the cock-robin asitators of Ireland's peace, and all the cock and bun stories about Sim Feiners and their Irish republics
 So mote it be.

THE LOSS OF THE ANTILLES.

While it has been sincerely hoped that nothing of the kind would hap pen. the sinking of the American troopship Antilles by a German sub marine, emphasizes the danger of course that is bound to be encoun- tered in getting our soldiers to Eu- rope. Fortunate, indeed, was it that the ship was returning to this coiin- try instead of going east. This does not lessen the grief that is felt for those who have been lost, but be- cause of that the number lost was unquestionably much smaller than it otherwise would have been.
 Whether Germany has any new device which made the submarine pnore effective or less visible in this instance is not disclosed. It had been supposed that all precautions had been taken to safeguard the vessel which possessed sufficient speed it was fg- ured to avoid the underwater boata protected as 1t was by the accom- panyipg destroyers, but t would ap- pear that it was encountered in q most favorable and perhaps chance location.
 But while the nation is mourning the loss of these men, the first in an attack upcn such vessel. 1t only indicates the danger which surrounds the service and the troopships, and makes it Apparent that the closest at tention must be given to this convoy duty on all occasions. and that every effort must be made to kesp ali in formation concerning the movements of such ships away from the enemy and it's agents. This less will serve to increase our efforts for safety in this movement of troops and at the same time it causes us to realize more deeply than ever that we are engaged in war. with all that. that means.
