ian mountains and the white flag
| promptly appeared at the front. The
same strategy was pursued in Che
lease of Austria and with the same sue
cess. While the Allies were fighting
their hardest along the Marne and the
Aisne and the Somme and the Meuse,
all was quiet along the Piave. It was
uncanny. Some suspected the Ttal-
ians of being unwilling to attack;
some accused the Allies of leniency
! toward Austria. But while there
was no fighting on the Austrian front,
the Allies were making gains daily
in the heart of the country. Certain
conversations in Washington and
Paris with exiled Czechs, Jugo-Slavs
and Poles were doing what cannon
alone could not accomplish. Finally
when the signal was given for the
Italians to advance they found their
work half done. The Austro- Hungar-
ian armies we're dislodged from their
Piave positions by an inferior force.
The retreat became a rout, three hum
dred thousand surrendered and the
white flag came to the front within
week.
In the case Of Germany also the
successive attacks of the French,
British, American and Belgian troops
were so timed as to coordinate with
the exchange of peace notes and pro-
duce the maximum effect upon Ger
man public opinion and military NOR
ale. The peace offensive and the war
offensive beth reached their climax
this week, and while the Versailles
Council was discussing the terms of
the armistice Haig and Pershing were
winning their greatest victories.
And may we take this occasion to
reply collectively instead Of by pri-
vate letter-since the Government |
wants to save paper and we want to
save postage-to the various cores /
pondents who during the last few
months have criticized US for our sup
port of the Presidents policy. They
insisted that there must be no cessa-
ton of hostilities or peace parleys till
every German was driven out of
France and Belgium, or till as many
cathedrals and homes should be de-
molished on the eastern side of the
Rhine as on the western, or till the
Allied armies had marched down I'm
ter den Linden, or till the German
people were unanimously convinced
that they had been wrong all the
time, or till the Kaiser was hanged,
or till something else more or less
desirable had happened. And when
we pointed out that it would be much
better, if possible, to induce the Ger
mans and Austrians to accept the
Presidents terms where they stand
than to fight them back to their own
frontiers and destroy the country to
be delivered, some few readers who
failed to get our point of view accus-
ed us of being "Bolsheviki," "Paci-
fists" or "DemOcrats" or PrO-German'
whichever epithet seemed to them
most opprobrious. But now the peace
policy of the President has been vim
dicated by events. We are satisfied
with the situation and if all our read
ers are not we cannot help it. Nor

Preparations for Canning.

The first steps in all canning, says
the United States department of ag
riculture, consist in the preparation
and cleaning of containers and in the
preparation of the products to be
canned by washing, pairing, trimming,
and cutting into pieces where division
is necessary.
Those engaged in the work should
start with clean hands, clean utensils,
clean, sound, fresh products, and pure,
clean, soft water. No vegetables or
fruits which are withered or unsound
should be canned. If possible. only
fruits and vegetables picked the day
of canning should be used. Peas and
corn, which lose their flavor rapidly.
should be canned, in fact, within five
hours if a choice product is desired.
Before the preparation of the prod
ucts is begun the containers should
be washed. If glass or crock6ry Jars
are used they should be placed in
vessel of cold water over 4 fire to
heat. They will then be hot and
ready for use when the products have
been prepared for packing.
All grit and dirt should be washed
carefully from the materials to be
used. All products should be graded
especially for ripeness. Large fruits
and vegetables should be pared If
necessary, and small fruits, berries,
and green's picked over carefully.

Lime as a Dislnfectant.

The simplest things are the things
most likely to be forgotten. 1t is
never out of place, therefore, at this
season of the year for all of US to
refresh our memories to the fact that
ordinary quickllme is one of the best
and cheapest of disinfectants. To two
pounds of unslaked lime a pint of
water is added. When the Jumps
have crumbled and the heat generated
In the process of shaking has disap-
peared, there is added four volumes
of water to one of the slaked lime,
making the mixture known as milk
of lime." It furnishes one of the
best of disinfectants for sick-room
discharges. Whitewashing fences,
pens and the interior of outhouses
with 1t tends to render them more
sanitary. The unslaked lime scat
tered about dairy barns, lots and
yards simplifies the problems of SAM
tation.

Nothing could be prettier for the
bride who chooses to wear hat than
the lovely mass of tulle shown at the

Here comes the bride with her head
adorned by veil or by hat-as she
may elect-and her maids in yelled or
veilless hats; hers is the privilege to
decide which. Many brides have
chosen to wear lovely hats of ma
lines or crepe with wells suspended
from the back, to be brought about
the throat and partly over the face.
They are followed by maids in wide
brimmed hats or quaint bonnets. But
no one expects the bride to forego the
stately wedding veil, and if she
chooses to wear it she may concede the
yelled hat to her maids
A very simple and sweet arrange
ment of the veil is shown at the right
of the picture above. 1t is merely a
band of fine lace run with threads of
silver that borders a small, close cap
of tulle. The long veil flows out from
the cap from the back, enveloping the

Five Minutes for Nails.

When the nails are manicured every
day, five minutes is usually sufficient,
for in this way they are in good con-
dition, and easily kept so. The cuticle
is always gently pushed back with an
orangewood stick dipped in cream or
cologne and shaped into an oval. The
file rounds and levels the edges. Pol
fishing at night saves time In the morn
ing. The quickest method of cleaning
the nails is by using nail brush. A
little cold cream or oil pressed into
the base OF the nail under the flesh
strengthens 1t, and incidentally i'm
parts healthy appearance and luster.

the leather so treated was subject to
