I cannot find any record anywhere to show that any such sum as $467 was taken from street repairs, or oiIing, and like the committee l too have looked in the office or the treasurer. Of course the treasurer gets his fig ures from the committee, yet he says that no money has been spent on West Thames street improvement on one page of his report and on another he says that $1,164.S5 has been spent. The public works committee says it took S466 out of the $4.S00 pot to help raise S1 400. The city treasurer shows that the whole sum of $1400 came from this appropriation. We do not know what the clerk of the public works committee will say. and as I know the ability of both the clerks
 (the treasurer's and the street depart
 ment. I must come back and ask who is correct? Can the committee
 explain these figures? The treasurer S
 report COntradicts the committees
 and the committees contradicts itself,
 and the treasurer's also. Now what
 did they do with the $500 they re-
 ceived from the sale of the old auto?
 Their report got badly twisted cross
 ing Union square. 1 find no record showing how much it cost to ride over from the city barn to the mixing sta
 ton near Broadway church. nor to chase the man who pushes the jaunt- ing car with dust pan and broom at tachment down Broadway, nor to overlook sewers catch basins. etc. But the committed is wonder at figures, as witness the following. taken from the council journal
 Appropriation, stone crusher. SS59.- 1 SO; expended, stone crusher. $6,924.99. Can you beat that Now to get into 1 the auto again. if the committee want | ed an auto, why did they not ask for

WOMEN
 EVERYWHERE:
Praise Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound as the Greatest Remedy for
 Woman's Ills.

New Haven, Conn" For two years I suffered with a female weakness, pains in my back and painful periods, and was so weak and tired that was not able to do my work. A friend told me to use Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and it gave me great relief. My pains left me and I am now able to do my work and feel fine. You can pub fish hmy testimonial andif your Vegetable Compound does others as much good as 1t has me will bevery much pleased. '" Mrs. CHARLES E. MORGAN, 37 Sea Street, New Haven, Conn.
 The reason Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg etable Compound is so successful is because it contains the curative, strengthening properties of good old fashioned roots and herbs, which act directly on the female organism.
 There are women everywhere who long for children in their homes yet are denied this happiness on account oi some functional disorder which in mosi cases would readily yield to Lydia E, Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
 Such women should not give up hop' until they have given this wonderfu 1 medicine 8 trial, and for special advict write Lydia [. Pipkham Medicine Go. Lynn, Mass. The result of 40 years experience is at-your service.

THIS couNTRVs POSITION.

There are those who are always willing and anxious to raise the pos sibility Of trouble between this coun- try and Japan at the least su .astio,' lt has been done time and again and such seems 10 be the case now rela- tive 70 the assertion that Americans owning land in Lower California, not far below the California line are plan ming 10 dispose Of their possessions to Japan.
 On a number Of occasions situations similar to this have developed and this government has always taken the stand that such a deal would not be permitted. for even though the land is under the control of the Mexican government the acquisition of rights there by any foreign country would not be tolerated. Sentiment in this country has not changed in this re- gard. and though it is unfortunate that this question should hc brought up again at this time, warning given to those who may be- or who may be wrongfully said to be, planning to sell

ATTRACTIVE LlGAEs.

The making of attractive lamp shades is such a profitable custom. so f fnr as charming effects i1 the home arg concerned. that it is always an interesting topic to home makers simple cretonne shades such as are purchased incxpensively at he shops. l.;uv ho surprisingly transformed by a sl'liful covering of chiffon or Georg- cite crepe with perhaps the addition of q soft siil; lining, some dull gold braid for Einding and a deep silk
 fringe to match. The figures in the cr.ginal shade are just sufficiently dis
 tiEguishable through the soft draped covering, to produce q cEarming eff feet. Many attractive shades are made by containing strips of Jananese
 fieured silk CT crepe with an altera = tion of strips in plain. harmonious col CTS, separated from the figured pieces
 by narrow. fancy braidii5" The pieces fire arranged vertically around the shade. and gre therefore measured by the width Of the frame. Instead of q silk or chenille fringe. q novel finish is found in the draping of six silk CorGs at regular intervals around the circumference. On these cords are strung several beautiful. oddly shaped beads. separated from each ether by 8 sincle knot ot the cord and possibly l fn'shed at tie end with q curious
 ivory figure of some sort, which in It. self is decorative

 This same matter was all gone over at the time of the Magdalena Bay in- cident. It still holds good for there has been nothing done to change it and the fact that the state department has given attention to what is said to be going on makes it evident that it recognizes the necessity of stating it's position now and letting it be known that it will adhere to it. rather than waiting until it has progressed under policy of watchful delay and thereby only complicating the situation.
 Whether or not the report is well founded or exaggerated there can be no question as to where this country stands in regard to such a matter It has acted under the belief that d stitch in time saves nine.

PLANTING MEMORIAL TREES.

In many communities including this one the idea of planting trees as memo rials to those whose lives were given up in the service of their country dur ing the great struggle has met with favor. IL is not to be supposed that such would be the only permanent me- morial to the self sacrificing young men but it is nevertheless plan which comments itself. whether the trees are set out along particular highway to he forever maintained or whether they are set out as q grove or grouped in a park.
 With the changing of the seasons the time is coming when something definite regarding such a plan should be decided and steps taken to see that it is carried out. The details in fact ought to be so perfected that they could be carried out .on Arbor day, when the planting of trees is always urged
 ll this connection it would appear that Secretary Houston of the depart mcnt of agriculture was in hopes of sigma lizing such a day this year i'll ali states hy having the various commit mites il q Statc, which are going to establish such memorials, make an ef- fort to do so whenever Arbor day is designated in their respective states With this in view ne has addressed a letter to. the governors of the differ ent states in which he says Now that the great war has come to it's cOnciu- sion we shall seek many ways to per petUate the memory Of those who made Inc great sacrifice l; has been hap pIy suggested that we do this bJ adorniug with young trees, each named

This con be done on Arbor day. which in ar observance oi the day will give it g meaning more profound. purpose more exalted. than it ever had before Arhor day is by all means q mos duug time for the placing of sucl memorials. it is a suggestion tha should certainly he entertained ant 1 followed if possible.

 Wash marble with ammonia and water rather than soap and water.
 Water in which rice has been boiled VIII stiffen laces and lingerie.
 When sweeping thick piled car rets. always brush the way of the pile.
 Medicines, drink or food should never be left uncovered in the sick room.
 Take the shine off your suede shoes ty rubbing them with Sandpaper.
 Tins can be cleaned with soap and whiting. rubbed on With a piece of flannel.
 If a spark from cigar enters the eye, a drop of olive or castor oil will ease the pain. To polish zinc. rub briskly with 3 cloth dipped in kerosene and rinse of with boiling water. Put drop of kerosene oil in the hinge of a squeaking door; it will stop thesqueaking. The odd bits of toiles soap gathered | together and boiled will make 2 splendid shampoo jelly. One dessertspoonful of castor oil roIred about the roots of dying plants will revive them New stockings will last twice as long if they are soaked ir warm water for two hours before wearing. l IF cooking apples. the more quick! l trey are cooked after Datitg. the rich e. and better they are.
