MAY AID COMPROMISE.

Whether the ratification of the peace treaty will be submitted to the people rests with the future to reveal, There are those on both sides who ia . vor such a move. President Wilson has claimed that the people would fa- vor the ratification of the document as it stands. Senator Lodge, who has led the fight for reservations thinks O hcrwisc ard believes that it should be nude an issue during the next presidential campaign. That being the case 1t would mean that there would be no action upnn the treaty until some time in 1921.
 With such q matter before the peo- pie, with Americanism standing ou; so prominently in connection with the reservations, there is at this time ev. cry reason to believe that the changes called for in the document in order tc protect this country would be heartily supported. Certainly the people of the country would know more about the changes and the necessity for them il they are ever confronted with this is. sue in the next campaign. They have Tor the most part relied upon theil representatives who have given clost study to the document to see that tn, nations interests arc properly safe. guarded, but they will be ready tt act if the issue is put tip to them.
 That this suggestion of carrying tn, treaty question into the next eleetiof campaign may have the effect O bringing about compromise relativ, to reservations on the part of thes, who opposed them against their vii on the presidents appeal is not be

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

To cure the sting of wasp or bee, mix common earth with water and apply at once.
 Rise fairly early, do not neglect the daily bath, eat simple food, adopt few calisthenics for daily use and try to keep on good terms with everybody you have to come in contact with.
 There are, too, excellent substitutes for soap. Almond meal is one and can be had at drug stores and toilet goods shops or it can be made at home
 Barley cream is another cleanser, and Is reputed as having wonderfully Identifying properties as well as thoroughly cleansing the skin.
 Watercress contains much iron, and this is a real blood medicine. People who desire q good complexion should eat 1t abundantly. because it is a de- stroyer of pinples and a cleanser oi the entire system.

The only drawback to flowers that are sent to the sick is that they wither so quickly. For instance, violets are hard to keep fresh and from having that stale odor that they develop so soon.
 Care for violets in this manner: Keep the box in which they came and at night place the flowers, stems and ali, under cold running water for a second or so. Be careful that the water does not run too quickly or too hard. Then shake them gently, wrap in oiled paper. put them back in the box and place them So wrapped in the ice box over night. After the room is strengthened in the morning they may be brought out. the vase filled with fresh water and the violets will look as fresh as when just picked
 Never place salt in the water with violets. as it seems to change the color With roses or pirks 1t is a very sue cessful treatment. A piece of gum cannphor is a good thing to place ir the water. but in any case the water should be changed every day and tht flowers carried out of the sickroorn al night and placed in the icebox or in z cool room. Never allow the sun ts shine on cut flowers as this wits then very quickly.

NEW SUGAR CONTROL.

There can be little wonder that anxiety has given way to despair rel alive 10 the lowering of living costs. The government has been at it for several months without any apprecia- ble results and now, because of the failure of the government to act when it should. we are going to be made to pay a still higher price for our sugar and by sanction of the government.
 ., The sugar situation is going to be handled by Attorney General Palmer who has been named by the president 10 take the place left by Mir. Hoover as food administrator. Mir. Palmer had previously threatened the beet sugar manufacturers if they sold at a price which would make the con sumer pay more than eleven cents a pound but more recently has agreed 10 let the charge to the retailers for the Louisiana cane crop be IS 3-4 cents a pound.
 Now it Is planned to encourage re- liners 10 buy sufficient Cutan sugar to overcome the shortage and while they win be restricted to safes in this country they will be allowed to wholesale at twelve cents a pound That means two or three cents higher Tor the consumer. Cuban sugar is available but not at former prices. The new control may insure a sufficient supply under the plan announced which will also be accompanied b. q restriction 10 candy matters and soft drink manufacturers. but it will also insure a higher price. That mean. an increase in the cost of living in. stead of decrease. for sugar will bs selling from three to five times what it used to a few years ago.
 IT this were unavoidable, ther, might be moro sympathy with the the. ory that the people are willing to pay more provided they can get all the, want but 1t cannot be overlooked tha the government could have bought sufficient supply for the country thre nonths ago if it had acted when ad rised to.

ITALY ANp p,ANNuNzlo.

There can be no surprise at the ana nouneen1ent that the revolt of D'An- nunzio has caused a state of uneasi- ness in Italy. The poet soldier has fone ahead not only in defiance of the Italian government but likewise in de- hsnce of the allied peace conference for tho Adriatic problem has not been passed upon by that body. The very fact that D'Annunzio went ahead and sei1ed Plume left Italy in a delicate position. since 1t indicated that ad- vantage was being taken of the other powers in deciding a matter which concerned Itself by Italian subjects, while matters concerning other na- tions were being adjusted in accord with the decision of the conference, and net by the subjects of the inter- eeited countries. It was manifestly an unfair move but as if encouraged by the taking of that city D'Annunzio continues his work and there is no in- dIcAtion where he will stop. The talk ing of Zara might well be considered q mellow accomplishment since in al probability 1t would have been given to Italy. but when his ambition Is said 10 be to capture the whole Dalmatiar ooast and then to attack Montenegro ft can be appreciated that 1t gives { more hectic complexion to the situa- tton.

TIME TO CLEAN UP.

In addition to the revelations that have previously been made and the knowledge that exists regarding the activities of different classes of radi- calls, new moves are being brought to light which must impress the authori- ties with the necessity of dealing with them in such way as to frustrate their object and discourage the plan ming of others.
 After having prevented the plot of sending death dealing bombs from ac- complaining its purpose by timely dis coveries, the country has just been in- formed that plans for another have been uneafthed in which it was intend ed to distribute the bombs under the cloak of Christmas presents. but even later than that is the revelation by the federal and police officials in New York that I. W. w. and Russian workers have been planning to start an open revolt against the prosecu- tion of anarchists, bolshevilli and com munists by arming a body of the reds to assassinate those active in running down and prosecuting them.
 10 III WILL lIio OIllCI manifestation of defiance of law and order. It is one of the anarchistit plans that has been put into operation many times before. and 1t indicates how determined Is the effort to breal down government and supplant i with terrorism. It can be plainly un. derstood what the result would bt should such people be permitted to dc as they please. and 1t calls more clear. ly than ever for the making of a clear i sweep that will clear the country O such people and see henceforth tha such are kept out.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Jitneys on Franklin Square.

Mir. Editor: I presume you have read what the old prophetic preacher said ln his comprehensive epistle to his null titude of people, that lit is better to
 hear the rebuke of the wise than to hear the song of fools?" But rebuke to the public nuisance on Franklin
 square seems to be silent as far as
 publicity is concerned. Possibly our
 city fathers are waiting for public
 calamity to develop before they cali a
 halt on that jitney bus merry-go-
 round that monopolizes the whole pub
 lie square around the street cars while people are hurrying and lodging to get to and from the trolleys. Public hacks used to have their stand assigned them, but there seems to be no limit to those reckless drivers who peram- bulate through the crowds congregated to take street cars coming and going It wouldn't seem to be a difficult mat ter to resulate our traffic to 6 safe and sane system and give everyone ar equal chance of safety. Let's hear what others say about it.
 Yours truly.

cARRANzA's ATTITUDE.

Though there are many way in which his conduct has not deserved it. this government has been disposed Co aid him. to manifest hs friendly feeling toward that re- public and help along his govern ment.
 For a long time, however. there has been manifested little or no indica- ton of appreciation. Rather does he appear 10 be the leader of the discon- tents than Of government of Mexi- cans doing its best to build up for it. self place among other nations. He has shown evidences of Intentionally keeping alive bitter. though unjust. -esentments harbored by certain ones In the republic 10 the south against this country. Regardless. however, of the attitude that he has taken it is difficult 10 believe that his govern ment is seeking a break with the Uniied States. however much reliance he might place in bad advice, but there are features of the Jenkins case that seem 10 support such an idea. IL ls possible that such is a political move on the part of opponents but even 1T such Is the case Carranza's inn potency in maintaining law and order Is only the more glaringly revealed lie Is not only unable 10 suppress those openly fighting him but he has Encouraged treachery even among those considered faithful.
 The representations which this gov ernment has made to Carranza are mol idle ones.

CRANBE ERRIES

There are several rules for cooking cranberries that are wise to keep in mind. Never use metal vessels for cooking cranberries, for the color and flavor are sure to be spoiled if you do. Porcelain or agate vessels are recom- mended. They should be kept in a cool. dry atmosphere. But the best method for having cranberries on hand at all times is to select perfect barries, pack in jars and fill the jars with water that has been boiled, then seal. They will keep in perfect condition Only one precaution - sort out any defective berries. It is also most important to wash the ber- ries thoroughly.
 When cooking cranberries if a pinch of soda is added, less sweetening will be needed to neutralize the fruit acid
 The S.4 per cent. nitrogen content of cranberries is valuable. to growing children, for it nourishes muscles bones and nerves.

Flag Etiquette.

Cessation of war has not meant the furling of flags. Instead they are in constant evidence, and the proper man ner of their display constantly arises, especially on parade days.
 While there is no federal law per taining to the manner of displaying the flag, there are many regulations and usages of national force bearing on the subject says a bulletin from the National Geographic society. The bull letin quotes from communication to The Societx setting forth flag eti- quette'' as fol1ows

It should not be hung where it can be contaminated or soiled easily, or draped over chairs or benches for seating pur- poses and no object or emblem of any kind should be placed upon it or above it.
 "A common but regrettable practice at public meetings is to drape the flag like a tablecloth over the speaker s table and then to place on the flag a pitcher of ice water, flowers books. etc. Another equally careless practice. and unfortunately. quite common, is to tie small United States flags to the bottom of a stage curtain; when the cgurtain is raised the flags are lifted aloft and are effectively dis played, but when the curtain is low cred, So that the stage scenes may be shifted the flags trail in the dust oi the stage floor

 No matter how much dripping is used, fish when being fried is apt to stick to the pans bottom. If a table spoonful of dry salt is put into the pan and rubbed over it it will be found satifactory
 When olive oil dressing will not thicken after the necessary amount of oil has been used, beat in a small quantity of dry eornstarch. This pre- vents the curdling, and the dressing will not taste of cornstarch.
 Instead of melting butter when you want to mix it with sugar, place the butter in a double boiler and allow il to get warm. It will then beat up very easily with the sugar. and will not cause the- cake to be heavy.
 The tip of the wings and the neck of a fowl boiled with a stalk of celery or an onion, with little rice, a pinch or two of parsley and a teaspoonful oi cream added after they are cooked make cupful of delicious soup. The most successful way to soften g hardened paint brush is to dip it 1T vinegar. Heat the vinegar to tht boiling point, allow the brushes tc stand in it for a few minutes, then re. move and wash. thoroughly with soaI and water.
