Handpainted olIcloth Utilized to
Make Attractive Runners and
Luncheon Sets.

There is a saying that In these days
Of war prices, only the millionaire's
wife can afford to use real linen in her
dining room. A great many women
nre substituting handpainted oilcloth
for the accustomed lace and linen
luncheon sets, says the Philadelphia
North American.
Stunning sets In black enameled oil
cloth for the out-of-door English break
fast or porch luncheon are decorated
with punches of brilliantly col
ored fruit. A large center dolly
Is used, with four each of the
medium and small sizes. An Or
binary enameled kitchen pie plate
painted black and decorated with the
same design makes a unique bread or
sandwich plate, and papier mache
bowl stained black and decorated with
the fruit motif on the outside, filled
with luscious grapes and oranges, is
the most stunning kind of a center
piece.
The square luncheon set Is rather
new, developed in tan oilcloth stenciled
with field flowers in brilliant blues and
reds and yellows.
Delft blue with sprays Of small pink
flowers or pale green with black and

GREAT GAINS TO LABOR.

Conditions In Shreveport, La, dry
city, are thus described by Mr.. Thomas
j. Greer, president of the Louisiana
Federation of Labor:
"Since the influence of the liquor
traffic has been removed from union
politics we have made tremendous
gains in Shreveport since the town
went dry in 1908. Membership in la
bor unions has increased from 1,S00
to 3,700, and home-owners among
union men have increased 40 per cent.
The carpenters union has increased its
membership from 60 to 375.
When Shreveport was wet the paint
crs' union had 35 members, working ten
hours day for $2.75. Today the paint
ers' union has 145 members, eight
hours day and 50 cents an hour, or
a scale of $4.40 per day. BARRIERS have
shortened their hours of labor, raised
wages continuously and have a 100 per
cent organization. A brewery under
the wet regime employed six non-union
brewery workers; today an ice fac
tory at the same location employs 40
union ice workers"

Through the newspapers we learn
That the Navy league Is asking for
sewing kits for the marines now I'm
training fer service in France. The
league calls for G,50O of these sewlng
Kits and they are inexpensive and
easy to make; so here is an answer to
the question at the beginning Of this
article.
The marines call sewing kit n
"husslff," which is the marines way of
saying housewife" And before we
get through making sewing kits we
nre likely to find "husslff" has been
added to the English language and to
have to look In the dictionary for Its
derivation.
The "hussiff' Is made OF cotton

Trimmings are very simple and not
permitted TO interfere with the lines
Of the shapes in any way. Fancy fea-
lures, including ostrich, ribbons and
ornaments, are relied upon for deco
rative features. Small ostrich tips,
used In groups, are returning after an
exile of several seasons, along with
draped turbans Of velvet, and they
look so well together that there Is n
sort of kinship between them. 1t Is
hard to think of velvet without being
reminded of ostrich. Wide-brimmed
hats with fringe of ostrich laid upon
the upper brims have already made an
assured success.

CATHOLICS AND PROHIBITION.


The liquor publicity bureaus are
making much Of the fact that Cardinal
Gibbons Is opposed to prohibition.
They would have the public forget the
many stalwart champions of the anti
liquor cause in the Roman Catholic
church. They would like to blot from
Its memory the words of Archbishop
Ireland: "Were God to place in my
hand wand with which to dlspel the
evil of lntemperance, / would strike
the door of every saloon, every distil-
lery, every brewery. until the accursed
traffic should be wiped from the face
Of the earth" They would erase from
the remembrance of the cOmmuni-
cants Of that church the scathing in
dictment Of Archbishop John j. Keane /:
"If / could cause the earth to open and
swallow up every saloon in the world,
| would feel that was comforting up
on humanity blessing. The saloon is
bad for the home, the church and the
country. 1t has no redeeming feature"
They would have good Catholics for
get the advice Of Cardinal Manning:
1.-THE drink traffic is public, perma-
nent and ubiquitous agency of degra-
dation. The drink trade is our shame,
scandal and sin, and unless brought
under by the will of the people, 1t will
be our downfall. Do you know how
you can help to break up this unhoy
alliance between government and the
greatest fraud Of the age? Vote
against it."-The Union Signal.

FEW SITTING IDLY BY.

OF all the reasons that may be urged
against the use of alcoholic drinks
Especially during the war) the two
that must appeal to physicians with
irresistible force, are Q) the action Of
alcohol in leGsening all forms of eff
cheney, physical, intellectual and moral,
and (2) the intimate connection al
ways found between drinking, prostitu-
tion and the spread of venereal dis
cases. The evidence against alcohol
on these accounts is so overwhelming,
so well-establshed and so generally
known that it does not seem necessary
to 20 into details. Only the other day
an experiment was mentioned in the
Journal which showed that 80 grams
Of brandy caused depreciation in the
craftsmanship Of expert shots of 30
per cent in rapid firing and 80 per
cent in slow firing. What sense Is
there in training men to become cfli-
cient and then sit idly by and let the
hard-won efficiency be taken away by
alcohol?-Journal Of the American
Medical Society.

Know Your Bible.

II we neglect the Bible, we shall
never know God intimately, and we
shall always be weak and inefficient
Christians. II, however, we search
the Scriptures diligently, we shall find
It a most fascinB' ting study, and as our
acquaintance with God increases We
will grow in grace lnd spiritual power.
"The people that dc know their God
shall be strong, and sun do exploits.
(Dan. II :82.)
The reason why the Bible has a
personal interest for each of MS Is that
1t is Gods mouthplece and medium Of
communication with the people of all
ages. For instance, when God saw
men forsaking him to pursue their own
evils, he cried out through his prophet,
'I4et the wicked forsake his way, and
the unrighteous man his thoughts, and
let him return unto the Lord, and he
will have mercy upon him." That
message was not limited to the people
of. Isalahs time only, but 1t represents
Gods feeling toward the wicked and
unrlghteous in oil ages. Again, when
Christ said, "Come unto me and ye
that labor and are heavy laden and ye
shall find rest unto your souls" that
invitation was not restricted TO those
who heard 1t from the Savior's lips, but
applies as truly to you and me. With
God all time Is one eternal now. "lle
is the same yesterday, today and for.
ever" AS we read the Bible, then, let
us listen for Gods voice in 1t, and
prayerfully search for his mesnagc for
US.
