Not for Publication.

Here is one sto , that 81. b. Bar
nard, the state cd administrator,
should not overlook. Ed Lane, one OF
the prominent citizens Of Colfax, Clin'
ton county, became worried several
nights ago because he couldn't
sleep, and thinking that perhaps q
salt water bath might restore his
restful slumbers, he got up and pro.
ceeded to experiment with his
theory. The next day his clothing
stuck so tight to his body that he
had to have assistance from his wife
to get 1t off, and when she inquired
as to the reason, he informed heI
that he had taken a saltwater bath
the night before. But Mrs. Lane then
realized where her sugar had gone
and she proved to her husband thai
he had got the graduated sugar
instead of the salt. The result was
painless, but Lane doesn't think that
1t will do to have Mr.. Hoover or Mr..
Barnard find out he took his bath In
sugar water.-Indianapolis News.

HOUSEWIFE HINTS

No restrictions on sugar! All re-
strictions have been lifted upon your
buying, Mrs. Housewife. If you will,
you may go back to your old reck-
less But will you?
Empty ships annot be sent to
bring the boys home. We still have
more than two million soldiers over
seas who must be fed. We have food
pledges to the Allies that we must
fulfill and most of all there are mill
lions of newly liberated people that
are looking to us for the necessities
of life. No true American housewife
will relax her vigilance In conforming
to the strict food program.
We do not say that you must ad-
here to the war food program. In
not. Christmas is near n we
all will make candy which will taxa
more sugar than we would have used
in a month in war time. The idea is
not to restrict oneself but not to
waste. The great worry of the food
administrator was the overcoming of
the waste of the American people.
Our boys are coming back to us diff
ferent men; broader, finer men; let
them find us better and more econ
omical housewives.

IRISH ELECTIONS
Being Held Today and Causing Much

DUBLIN, Dec 13.-The collapse Of
Germany is expected In some quarters
in Ireland to exert a strong influence
on the election of members of Parlia-
ment which takes place tomorrow. AS
John Dillon, the Irish Nationalist
leader puts 1t, the German collapse
showed the Sim Feiners that they
had backed the wrong horse"
The Sim Feiners contested the Ma
tionalist seats in Parliament on a pro-
gram of complete separation from
England. Their candidates were
pledged to refuse to attend the British
Parliament If elected. For the most
part the Sim Fein candidates are at
present in English prisons held on
charges Of being concerned in a Ger
man plot. The Countess Markievicz
is n OF the candidates from The city
Of Dublin.
The Nationalist party in most In
stances fought for their seats.

tired from the contests with remarks
that ireland was thankless TOWARD her
politicians.
The Nationalist program for ireland
remains constitutional action in Par
lament but they added to this a prom

1llldIlOA p6lOIe ICSlutHL WIlSOD.
They also promised to try to secure
the future position of ireland in the
world Encouragement expected to fol-
low the peace conference at Versailles.
This attitude encouraged some to hope
for cooperation between the Sim
Feiners and the Nationalists; but 1t
has beer pointed u that their differ
ences in principle are fundamental.
Whichever form Irish demands
eventually take the problem of Ulster,
which has beer practically the sole OBJ
stacle to an Irish settlement, will still
remain. Even IL the peace conference
ever dealt with the Irish question this
obstacle would have to be faced.
There is a home rule act now on the
statute book. It was postponed till the
end of the war subject to an arrange
ment with Ulster. No arrangement
has been made. Both the Sim Fem
ers n the Nationalist are now
agreed that no arrangement shall be
made. and that Ireland must be treat
ed as a unit.

II there is any community in the
United States that has more reason
than another to remember with grafi-
tude the Red Cross IL Is the Pacemak-
ing City. Before the reverberations
of h explosions at Morgan had died
down Its agents were o. tho SPOT do
ing what was possible to alleviate
tbs distress. And when The epidemic
following hard on the heels Of the dis
aster revealed how far reaching was
the trouble, before we were aware
that we needed things the Red Cross
had not only ordered them, but had
them here for use. True, IL we were
going to do 1t all over again doubt
less we should improve on many
things. But for acting at ono and
IN the line of the greatest need. the
Red Cross rendered a service whioh
we Chall not soon forget
Now 1t Is knocking at the doors of
every community in the United States,
asking that everybody should become

body will not respond, although Just
why It would be hard to discover a
reason. But Perth Amboyans have
every reason for making a special eff
fort to make its campaign for Red
Cross members perfect, just 100 per
cent, n ought not to be satisfied
with one less. Surely every heaed OF
the family can afford the dollar that
will make every member of the family

1919 membership OF the Red Cross
In Perth Amboy ought II be as accu
rate concerning the population of tho
city as the census of Uucle Sam.
So this is written, Lest ave forget.
1t is so easy TO say that We will do
certain things when peace and order
is restored again, and just as Easy to
forget, after h storm and stress is
over, that we ever made a VOW. Trou-
bles rest very hard on us when we are
in the midst of them. but we set them
aside from our minds very lightly
when they have been removed from
our shoulders. The force of the ex-
plosions has been expended, the grip
of the disease has been Ioosened and
today is n new day, with yesterday
forgotten. But the Red Cross is with
us today. as yesterday, and will be
with us tomorrow. Let us not forget
the Red Cross.

Safety Belts.

On the question Of safety belts DR.
Graeme Anderson gives 1t rs his opin
Ion that before leaving the ground al
aviators should see that their safety
belts are fastened and should be ia
miliar with the method Of their quick
release; the belt should never be un'
done In the air.
In IT crashes on tractor machines
with IL injured the belt held on seven
occasions and gave way on ten. Of the
AZ crashes in which the pilot escaped
the belt held in 2S instances and gave
way in IA.
DIR. Graeme Anderson advocates the
wearing Of safety helmets by all pupils.
but emphasizes that they should be
well fitting and not be easily disiedged

FRENCH FLAG HIDDEN
Dug from Ground Where IL wa
Placed by Woman

PARIS. Dec. 14:-How the regi-
mental flag of the Second French
Colonials was saved from the hands
of the Germans and returned to its
owners has just been revealed.
The flag was left in the hands of
the inhabitants of the little village of
Villers-sur-Semoy by Lieutenant
Roudiere, wounded August %, 1914,
when the Germans entered.
Nine. Warnimont and her little son
stole out at the dead of night and
buried the flag in their little garden.
During more than four long years
the regimentaI flag remained hidden
in the soil.
When the war ended and the Ger
man soldiers marched out, General
Aube entered the village at the head
of the very same Colonial regiment
that had been driven from it in the
first days of the war. Neither the
woman nor the son who had hidden
the flag were there but the inhabi-
tants knew that it had been hidden
and it was recovered in the little gar
den behind the shell wrecked home
of Madame Warnimont.
