Germany must be destroyed.

There is one thing that the
people must zealously guard a.
gainst German propaganda. 1t
is more dangerous than the Hun
armies, and is wonderfully in
siduous and subtle. 1t seldom
bears the German trademark.
Most frequently it masquerades
as an American product thereby
hoping to secure consideration at
our hands. Its Shiny trail is
visible everywhere.
Marcus Cato was a Roman
Senator about las B. c. After
visiting Carthage, Rome's rival
and enemy, and seeing the men
ace she was to Rome's more lib
eral government, Coto would end
every speech be made in the Sen
ate, no matter what was under
consideration, with the words:
Moreover, Carthage should be
destroyed" Germany is a men
ace to civilization and the slogan
that stands at the heads of this
column Germany must be de-
stroyed"-must become the one
great determination of that part
of the world that hopes for free
dom and justice.
German propaganda is any,
thing that is in any way interfer-
ing with the successful prosecu-
tion of the war, or that causes
dissatisfaction among the people.
The Huns keep the country full
1t and it passes, on by means OF
our own citizens. I'VE ought to
have kept out of this war;" is a
German suggestion, and Ameri-
cans who repeat this are helping
to spread this German poison.
We are and ought to be in this
war, and no man who loves Old
Glory will ever consent to quit it
until the brutal Hun is crushed
and destroyed.
The enemy propaganda is all
the more effective when dissent
mated by our own people, and
the Hun is willy enough to encour-
age this being done. All the lies
about the failure of Y. M. e. A.
and Red Cross funds to be prop
erly used are of German origin.
The causeless criticism of the va
rious war activities has the same
father, and it is German propa-
ganda that finds expression in
the grumbling at the Food Con-
troll. These things may appear
insignificant, but they are not.
Every word that is not in hearty
sympathy with the work of win
ming the war, said by an Ameri-
can, is to encourage the Beast of
Berlin in his belief that we have
not the stamina to bear up under
the strain of war. The Beast
says that we are a nation of cow
ards and slackers. Are you go.
ing to confirm him in that belief
by mouthing and complaining
and refusing to cheerfully d(
your part?

gandist finds the most fruitful
field is with the parents of thu

ECONOMY WAYS.

Every housekeeper should go to
market to buy. Sic will find that her
purchase will be much more satisfac-
tory than if ordered over the tele-
phone. In the markets there is al
ways the choice between the fresh
and the near-fresh produce, and there
is always waste if the near-fresh
comes into your pantry.
1t is economy for the housekeeper
to buy celery by the bunch rather
than by the stalk. The outside pieces
make a delicious dish stewed, while
the perfect inside pieces can be served
raw. Do not throw away the celery
roots if the outside is pared off, the
inside will stew perfectly. Also it can
be eaten raw like inside celery.
If the yoke of a dress has become
soiled try cleaning 1t thus: Have a
basin of warm water, a cake of pure
white soap and a brush with medium
stiff bristles. Spread the yoke care
fully on a fiat surface, placing a turk
ish towel, folded several times beneath
it. Apply the soap and water to the
yoke, scrubbing carefully until it ap-
pears clean. Then place a fresh towel
beneath the 1dCe anu IlHSe several
times with clear cold water. Pull the
lace into shape and allow it to dry.
When expecting guests, plan the
meals ahead for the entire time the
guests will stay. Then you can enjoy
your company and not have the
everyday bother of planning the
meals.
Carbonate of soda will remove the
most obstinate of mud stains. Rub
off with cloth or flannel dipped in
the soda, then press well on the
wrong side of the material with a
warm iron.

GRAY IN VOGUE.

Satin and velours in gray fire.
ouently are embroidered and braided.
This idea is used for the fur trimmed
coates which are worn instead of
scarfs.
Coats of fur are characterized by
very novel sleeves, and muffs. are of
two odd shapes, very limp in con-
struction. One is called the cameo
muff and the other is most smart
when gathered up under one arm.
Lanvin is sponsor for a coat eco
nomical both in the use of wool and
extensive fur. It is white coney,
which is the old English name for
rabbit, and is striped with applied
bands of velvet. This odd trimming
is used by this maker on many of her
new autumn suits, coats and frocks,
which are now appearing at the wa
tering places.
Both separate coats and suits are
tied In at the waistline, giving a hoop
ed in effect both above and below the
waist1ine.
Lanvin's sports dresses are also
meeting with success at Blarritz and
at Deauville. Angora is used on
many Of them.

pleasant or the face is plain unto
LONELINESS, then an elaborate couture
may be a blessing, acting as a sort
Of camouf1age for the unattractive
features. But for the average woman
who wishes to appear in good taste
always the couture should be simple,
and---most selected not
so much TO suit the prevailing mode
as to suit her own personality and
features.
Abroad you will see the famous
beauties clinging year after year to
exactly the same kind of couture
Usually it looks extremely simple, TOO,
but when you get near enough to OBJ
serve you wonder how on earth the
hair can be so cleverly twisted in and
around the head SO that is seems as
though plastered instead of brushed
into place. But the couture so Sc
lected and so adhered to is one that
fits the contour of the head abso-
lutely 1t doesn't look as though it
had been taken bodily from the fash
ion papers and affixed to the head
which is the impression pne gets very
frequently when observing some elab-
orately coiffed ladies. Hinged, mar
celled, waved, one wonders how many
hours of patient toll were expended
to achieve the fearful and wonderful
effect" Or, as one woman once put
1t, Their hair looks as though it were
done up with an egg beater."
Let the arrangement of the hair
follow the lines of the head, SD the
hair appears truly growing out of the
head instead of being plastered on
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-08-19

from the outside. The long, oval face
requires the left-to-right arrangement
of the hair pinned a little below the!
crown of the head. If the hair is ar
ranged too low near the nape of the
neck it will make the face appear too
long, and if on top of the head the
same effect will appear. Try theS
placing of the hair in several posi-
tions like this and you will see what
great improvement is the more fit
ting position.
The round-faced woman usually
finds the top-to-bottom arrangement
Of the hair more becoming, as it tends
to take away from the excessive
roundness of the face and give it a
little of the charm of the rounded
oval.
The question of ''bobbing" the hair
has been put up" to me very fire.
cuently by readers of late. There is
much to commend this fashion. 1t is
a great time-saver, especially for the
eager women busy in war work. And
for women whose hair is inclined to
grow too luxuriously, the bodied hair
will prove an aid to health.
There is no doubt that luxuriant
hair detracts nourishment from other
parts of the body, for it is a drain as
we'll as a care. But unless the hair
is naturally curly I don't consider the
bobbed head desirable. Straight hair
when bobbed tends to make its owner
look masculine, it sharpens the fea-
lures, and even a veritable beauty
cannot withstand these double calam-
tiles.

in her conservation cubbard as she
possibly can. Crates were selling to
the retailer at. 75c-$1, according to
quality with poorer grades selling at
the lower figure. Baskets were bring
ing from 50-65c also with a wide range
in quality. This makes tomatoes
cost from 4-5c a pound as the price
the retailer pays and at this figure
every housewife should have a good
supply.
Sweet Corn Scarce.
Sweet corn was a scarce article on
the Farmers Maret this morning with
no fancy stock available. This con-
dition is probably only temporary and
tomorrow will very likely find a good
supply on hand.
A large truck belonging to the en-
campment of soldiers at Seaside Park
bought up large supplies of vegetables
at this market this morning, showing
that Uncle Sam believes in helping
out the movement Of all vegetables
and also in paving the way for the re-
lease of more n-perishables for over
sea shipments.
Good stock was costing the retail
ers 81 a sack of FAC a dozen. Poorer
grades were selling at s1.75 or 21c a
dozen.
