ABOUT CUTS.

Do you treat a cut on your finger properly? Or do you just take the chance of it healing? Day after day people are having fingers and arms amputated because they failed to take care of little cut. The cut became infected and in many cases blood poisoning set in and the injured mem Der had to be cut off. It is very easy to take care of a little cut yourself, but if the cut is a large one see the doctor or go to hospital. Iodine Is a drug which is very much used on cuts as an antiseptic. In the operating rooms of large hospitals you always see the bottle of iodine. When you cut a finger just put some iodine on it. This is the best thing you can do. It kills the germs that are in the cut and dis courages the attempt of other germs toenter the cut. After the cut has been cleansed and saturated with iodine and the blood has stopped, 1t may be well to apply some eollodion. This acts as new skin. A cut is merely a cut when it is treated right, and right away. It may mean some thing worse, and entail even the loss of limb if you put of giving it prop CT attention.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

To stop hiccough give the patient a teaspoonful of sranulated sugar and vinegor. If this does not afford i'm stant relief, repeat the dose.
 When you go to bed-if you are looking for beauty sleep-you should fall asleep right away. The beauty sleeper. the one who wakes up looking refreshed, will fall asleep the minute her head touches the pillow. She will fall into slumber. heavy and dream less, and she will waken in the morn ing Of her own accord.
 A delightful way Of imparting a delicate scent to the hair is to let it filter through in the. form of steam. It sounds difficult, but it is not at all Simply fill a small bowl with boiling water and pour some of your @particu- lar perfume upon it. The two liquids will not mingle. but if you hold yaur head over the bowl the steam Of the water will carry thef scent with it and through the hair In a most satis- factory fashion.
 The very best cure for a case of nerves is to keep busy. If you cannot find any work of your own help some friend who has more to do than she can possibly accomplish. Be really interested in everything you do and do it with all your might. You never heard of a washewoman being nervous Nervous women are sure to have wrinkles and you will never get rid Of them until you get better control of l your nerves.

evident now that a mistake was made in causing this delay and 1t is there fore of the greatest importance that all possible steps should be taken to meet the situation and to overcome as fast as possible the handicap which has been caused.
 How thoroughly united the senate is upon the matter of including in the draft all young men who. have become of age since the fifth of last June, the first registration day, and those who are daily reaching that age limit, is indicated by the fact that there was no opposition thereto. It was looked upon as the sensible course to take and unauestionably was re- garded as the correction of an over sight at the time of the enactment of the draft law. It is of course only just to those who have already been drawn and to those who are awaiting call, and it befooves the house to expedite it's action in this respect that the change may become law as soon as possible.
 By the amendment it will mean that about 100000 additional eiigibles will be secured for military service and it should provide for training those who are bound to make a highly efficient and effective army.

choice a lot of mendacious hot-air, as the world has ever heard, Hindenburg tramples upon prostrate Russia and cumuiating collection.
 And we, soft-hearted. soft-headed, kindly y-souled, peace-loving. peace while murder is committed before our very eyes.
 We had better begin to realize that this thing we have embarked in is not a joint debate, but war. Every day that we spend in conversation and that Germany spends in war, is two days loss to us and two days gain for them
 Time is the essence of victory for Germany as well as for ourselves. We have not now enough ships both to supply our troops in France and to handle other necessary shipping as well. Every day that we delay in bringing every effort that we as na- tion possess to the successful prosecu- tion of the war. means a day gained for Germany's submarines, day gain cd for the development of the new re- sources that she has captured by force of arms.
 How much longer do we intend to stand in the front door talking to the we'll ldressed confidence man while his beetle -browed pal commits mHrder in the back room?
 We have already bought a good half dozen German gold bricks. How many more must We purchase before we think we've got enough?

DEALING WITH SPIES.

Almost every day brings forth new reports about the activities of spies in this country. Some of these re- ports are witdcEt the best of foun- dation for whaf has in a number of cases been attributed ta them has been traced to other causes. It is impossible, however, to dispose of hem all in sucs; q manner for 1t is known beyond the shadow of a doubt that the enemy's agents are at work here doing their utmost to hinder, ob- struct and destroy.
 It is pertinent therefore that leg islation should be asked which will deal with such people in .he manner beftting their acts. and being asked it should he granted and enforced if the safety of the naticn is going to be assured. Ire placing of such 9 law on the stacU'e books would cause TO injustice, |, no one commits a crime punishable under its provisions it will not be invoked. and if indus tries are blown up, property destroyed and destruction beneficial to the enc my is caused in other ways such a law would have no bearing. But just so long as this government lacks suf- ticient law hy which to deal with those who are working against this nation and in behalf of the enemy we are holding out an invitation to such people and giving them encourage ment to continue their nefarioue work.
 The enactment of such a law will not necessarily put an immediate check on their activities. To amount to anything it will have to be en. forced but there are good reasons fol believing that when it is demon strated that spies must pay. tho greatest penalty for their crime, in. stead of being detained or locked u for brief time, there will be 2 marked decrease in their activities The legislation sought is needed fol proper protection.

A SUPREME coMMANnER.

The need of getting the armies of the allied nations under a single con- trol. under the belief that united command could guide their work more efficiently than several working separately. has iong been urged but in spite of the good points which have been recognized in connection with such action it was delayed. The desire to preserve the identity of the various forces has unquestionably been one of the big obstacles in the way of making such a change but just as long as that was allowed to sway decision it prevented the bring ing of the allied war machine to the highest state of effectiveness and the respective field marshals and generals failed to get into as close touch as would be possible under SRe head.
 This has been fully demonstrated throughout the war and was one of the reasons for Germany believing that it could deal with each of its enemies separately and one by one eliminate them from the list of bel ligerents. New emphasis has been given to it by the present drive. and the decision which has just beer reached to place General Foch in su. preme command of the allied armie: as generalissimo, a most wise move has resulted therefrom. There can b. no question but what the allies have cooperated but it is of theNutmost i'm portance that each should be workinr along the same lines and such wal impossible to the extent that it ii needed as long as past methods pre- vailed. It is therefore to be expected that the change will eliminate one o the serious handicaps which has to, long prevailed.

CANDLE LIGHT.

The artistic beauty of candle light has been recognized. Several candies delicately shaded throwing a mellow light amout a dinner table, are to be preferred to the almost brutal brilliancy of electric globes. Even the decora- ting electrician of modern houses has sought to disguise his medium by means of imitation candles and tiny bulbs that betray themselves by their constant light.
 But it is in the eerie hour of re- tiring that the candle is most missed. Today we undress in a garish room that upon the touch of a button Se- comes utter darkness. There are no half lights. From a condition brighter than day we pass into one darker than the night without
 How different the mysterious candle light with it's inconsistent flame and gentle shadows The room becomes a fit place for dreams the moment you enter it.
 If you would experience a child's wonder again. go to bed by candle l light. It will admit you into that gay dark way where you may commune with the jolly and capricious i'm
 mortals of the imagination. It will open the door of the dreams that are 1 the poetry of sleep.

EGGS FOR THRIFT.

No housewife is worthy of the name if she does not keep herself posted on the price of eggs. She should scout around and find out when the low wa ter price of eggs is likely to be reach ed. It comes in the spring, and then she can to great advantage buy a crate of eggs to put down" in water glass for later use. This crate of eggs may be bought from a whole sale egg dealer in the city CT through direct negotiation with a farmer
 But do not do what some house wives do when fruit is ripe-can them to the exclusion of eating them fresh. Make the most of the eggs when they are cheapest and freshest. Most per- sons have had but few fresh eggs this winter because most persons have found them prohibitive in price. All the more reason, then, why they will taste good now. Do not despise them as a substitute for meat at dinner. A well turned nmelet or a dish of cream ed, hard boiled eggs Q reven scram- bled eggs, makes a dainty fit for a king.

e JAPAN's SHIPPING HELP

That Japan should look upon the agreement which has bsen reached between the United States and that country, whereby part of it's ship ping is to be transferred to this gov ernment, fin the light of patriotic contribution to allied war purposes is only what was expected. The only criticism that might be offered in connection herewith is that 1t took so long to bring it about and that it was not larger
 As the matter now stands Japan is to turn over a dozen or more steam CTS aggregating 100000 tons. It is of course to be recognized that the sit uation is one where every little bit helps and certainly that increase in tonnage is to be welcomed in view of the demand which exists for more ships and the losses which are being sustained from the submarine war fare
 That this help will hardly be felt by Japan can be appreciated when it is understood that that nation pos sesses a tonnage of about two mill llOAl cIlu 4S OuAlutItS IlOTS ships. The greatest encourage ment in connection with the agreement, however. is that still fur ther assistance is going to be ob- tained from this direction for through the help which the United States car be to the shipbuilding industry of Ja- pan by furnishing steel plates it i; anticipated that the negotiations which will be continued will result ir obtaining twice as much more ship, ping as has already been secured There certainly is an opportunity fol l Japan to be of great help in this di. rection and its resources should bt i employed to the fullest extent.

WoRsrEp BALLS.

A worsted ball makes an excellent plaything for little baby. If it is suspended from his carriage or crib it will help him to learn to focus lis eyes and he will be amused by it for a long time. When the child is a little older let him sit on quilt on the floor and play with several balls in the six primary colors--red. orange, yellow, green, blue and violet. Each bail should have a worsted string of the same color attached to it. When the child is little oldef still play simple games with him. such as rock a-bye baby. pendulum of clock swinging the ball back and forth and up and down and in other ways that will occur to every mother Uncon- sciously the child will acquire a sense of form, color, motion and position by these. games
