Notes for the kritters.

An old and experienced knitter
gives the following points which the
beginner should keep in mind and
practice for progress.
Select a chair without arms or else
very low ones, because any impedl-
menr in the way o! The arms means re-
stricted and hence uneven knitting,
Some knitlers advise knitting the
first row slowly until the needles fill
with stitches and the work can then 20
on more quickly. Others say that it
Is q good idea TO set speed from the
beginning as it makes the work look
more even This is something each
beginner viii have to find out for her
self.
Never let the needle support the
weight of a piece OF work. This draes
the work and stretches the garment
terribly.
Beginners should Learn 10 count
stitches occasionally to make sure
that none OF them have been dropped.
BE very careful not to pick up u
split thread Make every stitch as
clean as possible.
TO remedy Il dropped stitch in plain
garter stitch knitting, draw the
straight thread through the loose loop
from The back This can be done
best with a crochet hook.
As the split stitch sometimes
catches up more than the single
thread, TINS often accounts for extra
stitches.
Aim 10 keep the tension fairly loose
and easy The experienced knittef
viii know that work which she can
move easily along her needle with one
finger is just about the right tension.
Loose knitting is especially good
when as high AS seventy or eighty
stitches are held on the needle.
Try not to stop in The middle OF n
row. II YOU have TO do so Try to keep
The needles flat together or the stop.

THE HEALTHlEST GLASS.

There is much significance in the
announcement made by the French
government that the military class OF
1919. recently called 10 the eoiors,
shows the best physical condition Of
any of the six classes called since
1914.
II means that the physique Of the
French youth at home has steadily
improved during the war. Their fine
health and vieor are more impressive
in view OF the fact that German child
hood and youth have suffered inereas-
ingly during the war. as a result of
privations imposed on them.
The excellent physique Of the re-
eruits is attributed largely to their
Indulgence in outdoor sports, which
have attained unprecedented vogue
in France in the last few years. The
French have learned that from Eng.
land. Another contributing cause is
said TO be the higher wages earned
by French wOrkmen. which have en-
abled them to supply better nourish.
ment to their children than in normal
times.
This explanation is chiefly interest
ing because Il take, for granted the
one big advantage that France has
over Germany in The presentation Of
her peoples health she has food in
sufficient quantity and variety What
she lacks herself she can obtain else
where Germany finds herself every
year in worse plight. and mus resign
herself TO a progressive deterioration
of national physique This is newt

THE ANGARlAN LAW.

The angarian right or law Of an
gary" insisted on by The United
States in its handling OF the Dntch
shipDine matter is a recognized pfin
ciple of international law. II was dis
tnctly set forth in the Hague consen-
lions of 1899 and was carefully re-
vised in the conventions of 1867 On
both of these occasions all the sigma
tory powers except Switzerland gave
it their sanction.
This law establishes the RIGHT of &
belligerent to seize or apply for the
purpose of war or for the purpose of
preventing the enemy form getting
it amy kind OF property on beliger-
ent territory including that which
may belong to ,uhjeets or citizens Of
neutral states According 10 the En-
cyclopeda Britannica, il implies as
wide a range Of contingencies as the
necessities Of war can be made TO
cover Various treaties have been
made fixing the compensation or in
demnity to be paid in any ease OF one
state forcibly utilizing the property OF
another state or Of its citizens. The
right is viewed as a matter Of course.
The only possible issue concerns the
adjustment Of details.
4 section Of articles - Of the Hague
conventions Of 1899 reads, Railway
plant, land telegraph, telephones,
and other ships, apart from cases gov
erned by maritime law, as we'll as de-
pots OF arms, and generally all kinds

DRINK HOT TEA
FOR A BAD COLD

Get small package OF Hamburg
Breast Tea. or as the German folks
call it, Hamburger Brust Thee at any
pharmacy. Take tablespoonful OF the
tea, put cup of boiling water upon
it, pour through sieve and drink
tcaeup full at any time during the
day or before retiring. 1t is the most
effective way to break cold and cure
grip as it opens the pores Of the skin,
relieving congestion. Also loosens the
bowels, thus driving cold from tho
system.
Try it the next time you suffer from
cold or the grip. It is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.
