1t is we'll that in the matter of controlling
necessities the government should recognize
the rights of the people. 1t is not enough that
the government protect itself against extorton
in buying war supplies. The people in the
mass should not be exploited, during the war
period, for excessive profits made in the sale of
necessities
Coal is one of the absolute necessities, The
people must have it. But prices have been
Outrageously high in many parts Of the country
so high as to be almost prohiitive to persons
of small incomes. With the price hewn down
to reasonable level, there remains the addi-
tional task of getting coal distributed eouitabIv.
Faulty distribution has caused great hard
ship, particularly in winter. The fuel admin
istrator has power to dictate ways and means
of effecting fair distribution where most needed
Dr. Garfield gives his word that this power will
be used with vigor. It is to be hoped that the
movement may meet the reasonable exnecta-
tons of the consumers

What the French Maid Told Marjorie

should be washed in kerosene before
washing with soap and water. Acid
stains may be removed by salt or
NORWOOD. Wet the stained part
and rub the salts in, then rinse the
articles before washing.
Wooden articles are quite easy to
wash and so are lannels, yet. if
washed wrong the first time, they
are spoiled forever. Make a good
lather for them and do not have the
water too warm. A tablespoon of
ammonia in the tub will work Won
ders. They do not need hard rub
bling. Dabble them up and down
until the dirt falls out. Very dirty
pieces should be soaped and rubbed
lightly. but the major portion of the
garment should not require rubbing.
THE second water should also be
soapy. Flannels and woolens do not
require clear rinsing. Squeeze them
out of the water; never wiring them
as you would cOttOns. When
squeezed they should be lightly
beaten and shaken. This loosens
the fibers and makes the garments
beautifully soft and fluffy"

GET ACQUAINTED WITH
YOURSELF.

Arnold Bennett, the famous Eng
lish writer, says in an article in the
February Woman's Home Com
paniOn:
His own judgment of his fellows
is for the most part very detached
and unbiased. He discerns, for ex-
ample, their faults, as plain faults.
He is not specially anxious 10 see
only the best in them. He watches
a friend come into a drawing room.
and his attitude toward that friend
is A neutral attitude. Affection may
induce him TO condone defects, but
IL will not render the defects in
visible. nor will il prevent the secret
evaporation which defects some
times cause. nor will il do away with
the sense of the ridiculous. But when
he himself enters a drawing room.
only in the rarest instances does IL oc-
cur 10 him that he may be regarded
in any manner as either eXasperatin :
or ridiculous. or as aught but very
decent well-meaning individual de-
cidedly above the average. He has
the notion that his fellows nave
agreed 10 'most-favored nation
clause fer him. and that they will
take Unusual pains 10 understand
the excellence of his intentions, and
that they will somehow hesitate be-
fore judging him adversely. IN a
word. that they will do their utmost
TO make their own verdict upon him
coincide with his verdict upon him
self"

ONE REASON FOR THE HIGH
COST OF LIVING.

The cost of living is high, mainly
because men of means and large al
fairs are not, as a rule concerned
about it. The portion of their in
come that is paid out fer food is
not important to them. Whether
the cost of food be high or low. the
difference TO them is not important.
They may growl a little at the end
of the month at an increased pro-
vision bill, but neither themselves
nor their families are in any way
disturbed by the price. They are
never obliged TO lessen the amount
or quality of the food because of its
high price. Hence their indifference
in the matter.
Those men who initiate economic
reform and exert influence on legis-
lation and on business generally.
devote their energies to enterprises
that affect their own business inter
ests and their gross income. Some
of them sympathize in a humani-
tartan way with the high cost of
living and their dependent work
men, or the poor generally, but they
have no time to overcome the en-
trenched opposition of the present
system and to work economic re-
forms for the benefit of the world
generally.-From The High Cost of
Food-Causes and Remedies by
John ]. Dillon. in the American Re
view or Reviews for February,

PALM BEACH, Fla. - Only the
fact that she is an expert swimmer
saved the life of Miss Flora Payne
Whitney, debutante daughter of Mr..
and Mrs Harry Payne Whitney Of
New York, when she was caught in
an undercurrent some distance from
shore. Miss Whitney swan beyond
the first row of breakers and dived
into the big waves. She disappeared
and did not rise TO the surface for
such a time that several persons on
the beach shouted and others swan
rapidly to the spot where she was
last seen. Suddenly she reappeared
80 yards away and was seen TO be
struggling in the grasp Of an under
current. only 10 disappear again.
When she next came TO the surface
Miss Whitney was nearly exhausted,
but managed by eXerting all of her
strength TO make her way TO shore

A Zone Story" Meal

The bachelor girl who keeps house
does not like 10 spend too much Of
her precious leisure cooking, so she
has been studying ways and means
of getting palatable dishes which
are easy 10 prepare and which yet
offer a satisfying variety. This is
what she calls her "one-story meal"
which she and the friends who have
been privileged to share il with her
have voted a success. Put large
can of tomatoes in generous-slzed
saucepan, fill the can once and a
half with water and add TO toma-
toes. Wash two green (sweet) pep
pers. remove seeds and shred into
the tomato and water Add two or
three small onions, cut into small
pieces, and some salt. When this
is boiling, sprinkle in, a few grains
at a time, one cup of rice. a gener-
Gus cupful. Stir frequently and boil
gently until the rice is cooked. The
bachelor girl serves this dish with
toast or, sometimes. saltines. and
plenty of butter. Frequently she
follows il with a bit of plain salad,
lettuce or romaines with French
dressing; sometimes with canned
fruit from her preserve closet or jam
and crackers. just for a finishing
touch. But the real meal, she in
sists. is the rice cooked with these
vegetables and served with gener-
Gus allowance of butter. The rea-
son that she sprinkles the rice in
gradually, she adds. is so that the
tomatoes and other things will not
stop boiling

HOW WE ELECTED LINCOLN"

How We Elected Lincoln" by
Abram ]. Dittenhoefer. recently
published by the Harpers, is the
latest but not the least interesting
OF the many volumes dealing with
Lincoln. The author was a cam
paigner for the republican candi-
date in 1850, and one Of the Lin
coin electors in 1864 Mr.. Often
hoefer's relations with Lincoln were
exceedingly close. and particularly
in campaign times was he brought
into intimate contact with him As
a consequence We are permitted a
view OF Lincoln which has not been
emphasized by other writer's.
Mr. Dittenhoefer's recollections
carry US through two OF the most
thrilling presidential campaigns
which the country has ever witness
ed. but more than this the reminis-
cences extend TO other great men of
Civil war days II is a period "a our
history that will probably never be
rivaled in interest and significance.
Such volume as Mr.. DittenhOefer' S

sonages that must ever loom large

the nervous feeling to completely

China Mending al Home

II, some fine day, an overly en-
thusiastic flick OF your buster causes
some reasured china dish or orna-
ment TO fall to the floor and break.
10 is possible 20 mend IL at home
quite easily. And, IL you have no
cement in the house. IL is a simple
matter 10 make some for the oc-
casion. Get a little plaster Of Paris
and mix this 10 a thick. creamy
paste, with the well-beaten white OF
an egg. Do not prepare this, how
ever. until you are ready 20 use it.
An equally good cement may be
made by dissolving half an ounce
OF gum acacia in water, straining IL
and adding just enough plaster of
Paris to make a creamy paste. This
latter should not be added until the
cement is wanted for use
To get the most satisfactory re-
suits. china should De mended as
soon after breaking as possible. II
il is allowed TO lie around waiting,
the edges or points often get rubbed
or broken and so cannot De joined
together so neatly The most APP
proved method of mending china at
home is this: First, wash the brOk-
en- pieces carefully. dry them well
and warm them near the fire, per-
haps in the oven. Then spread on
the cement. as little as possible but
enough TO coat each of the surfaces

or a match makes an excellent tool
for applying the cement. Any sur
plus amount should be squeezed out
and rubbed of at once. Sometimes
il may seem wise to aid the cement
by fastening the two pieces together
with a rubber band; again, it is
possible 10 place the china in such
position that the weight will hold
the Joined pieces together. If dish
is broken into a number of frag
ments, IL is better TO join them in
pairs. two one day and two the next
and so on, for each piece should
be allowed time TO dry thoroughly
before another is Joined TO il.
