HATr,tS OF HOME LIFE.

Tho Galveston News asks, What
has become of the old-fashioned
FIRMLY man who used to come nome
before supper and stay there uHV'l
after breakfast?
The Apostle Paul in the first crap
ter Ct rs Epistlc to the Romans m
diets the world in the following words:
Being filed with all unrighteoHs'

whispercrs. backbiters, haters Of spGh
despiteful, proud, Boosters, inventors
of evil things, disobedient to par

breakers, without natural affection o.
unsociable). implacable, unherciful.
We have often thought that the
words "haters of home lie" might

although the charge without natural

Someone has said that before a
man marries woman he cannot kee1

woman is often deprived of much
needed rest in awaiting the slow move

speAl the first half Of the night away
from his home.
Old women as we'll as wiseaclcs
among the other sex often abound IN
sage sayings respecting the compost
ton of would-be benedict, and warn
Young women to marry only men
possessed Of certain instincts. The
best recommendation Of young man
about to embark upon the sea Of mat
l'imony is that he is lover Of home
life. or Of domestic tastes.

S. Martin will, in the good year 1918,

Unless all portents fail the senior
senator is scheduled to be renomi-

An "achiever Of results Senator
Martin today looms larger on the ma

man of few words-but those to the
point; OF great and untiring midas

mcnt and the needs of the nation, he
has lowered far and away above many
who have filled page after page of
the Congressional Record with long
winded speeches.
The historian of the future, when
he sits down TO winnow the wheat
from the chaff in legislative enact
ment during the world crisis and the
period of our country's peril, will dis

high honor in this hour of Americas

WEAKENING GERMAN LINE

Upon one point practically all
military critics who have any init
1naSe knowledge of conditions on the
western front agree. The Germans
n.ay hold out for a long time yet, the
advance of the Allies may be slow
and difficult. but in man power and
N artillery power alike the Allies
row hare the superiority. and their
SuccessSis only question OF time.
The Philadelphia Ledger says the
news Of the last few days al justi-
1ios this conclusion. No German
cou2ter-attack has had anything out
$ n:oaeeRtary effect. or has turned the
rs from their I. strategic object.
The sit:ration cannot be measured in
terms Of territory taken. The main

MICH ADO ABOUT NOTHING.

There were several minor dlstafo-

and negroes last Sunday night. Inc

soldiers who attacked blacks in retail

come here from neighborlng camps
and ordered them to leave lmmeai-

All sen,blance of further trouble.
The number Of soldiers who visited
this city Yesterday afternoon and last
night showed decided falling of. but
ru;nors were circulated to the effect
that certa;i visitors Of this class who
were IN the city Sunday night had
. threatened vengeance on negroes IN
order to be prepared should any at
tempt be made to carry out such i
threat, the Light infantry were kept
under arms during the night They
marched through certain streets, but
there was nothing for them TO 90,
as the city was normally quiet La
ter a detachment Of artllierymen
from st. .Asaph came here for the
purpose Of grounding up members OF
that command who were visiting the
city. Everything was conducted IL q
quiet and orderly manner.
There was nothing in these proceed
ings upon which to base the long artl-
cles published in papers IN other cities
which make it appear that Alexandra

Cured and others were imminent.
During our civil war it was al or
binary occurrence to sec patrol guards
from camps outside the city enter
Alexandria and take charge OF MEM

uhem back to camp. At times patrol
guards would line up every soldier
they met and march them out of the
city. Such guards never intcrferea
with the authorities. Similar pro-

night and last night.

''I,he World Must Be Made Safe For Democracy

Put every dollar you can spare into a
Liberty Bond. Never before could your
dollar buy so much. It buys safety for your
country, your homes and your children,
now and for years to come. 1t buys life and
liberty without taking cent away from you.
It fights for us, and pays for the privilege of

combined rewards of good deed and
good investment.
For the Second Liberty Loan is the best
investment in the world to-day. A Liberty
Bond is money which pays you secured

safe as gold always worth its face value,
every Liberty Bond, with the end Of the

THINGS WORTH KNOWING

Shoes-Add a drop or two Of meats
foot oil to the shoe backing to prevent
the leather from cracking. It is also
fine to use on damp boots or shoes.
Curtalns-At this season OF the year
most housekeepers are doing up their
curtains. The wide, ruffled double
Swiss curtains are very hard to laun-
der, as they are too wide for the ordi-
nary board or table and cannot be put
in the stretchers. Make board six
feet by three square at both ends. Pad
and cover as an ordinary ironing
board, having the pad thick. The cur
tains are then easily ironed their full
width Also use this for round table
cloths, embroidered sheets and spreads
all articles that are too large to iron
in the usual way and which are spoiled
by folding.
To Keep Ladder From Slipping
Tack pieces of an old rubber to the
legs of the ladder.
Cleaning Siiver-Dissolve one piece
OF common washing soda size of egg
in pan with two gallons Of water and
heat to the boiling point Drop into
this the silver to be cleaned, keeping
the mixture at the boiling point Let
the silver soak three or four minutes.
Lift out and wash in hot soapsuds and
dry with a perfectly dry towel.
