Easter, the most joyous festival of
the church, except Christmas, came
and went, revealing that the war has
had no effect upon it as the focal point
in styles of dress for spring. The
costumes, suits, frockS, millinery and
footwear in which throngs of men and
women wend their way churchward, or
somewhere, on Easter Sunday consti-
tute the spring song Of tailored clothes.
And the frocks In which women en-
bark on their social doings after East

UNSPOILED BY HIGH HONOR
Officers and Men Alike Recognize in
General Pershing Qualities That
Compel Their Affection.

"Wby do we swear by Pershing"
countered a staff officer in Washington
one day in response to question.
"Well, I guess it's because he's the
real thing-a regular American, if you
know what mean.
"You can easily figure out the sort
of man he is by the stories they tell
of him. / was with him when he was
on his way to Washington to receive
his orders for France. On the way,
we passed through the town in which
he lived when he was boy. On the
station platform was the same old ne
gro porter Pershing had thrown stones
at in his boyhood. The general chatted
with the old man. Afterward l asked
the porter what happened. He said:
"'He done wanted ter know all bout
the folks he ulster know, an when he
was gettin' on the car again he picked
up a pebble as big as my thumb an
hove it at me, jes' like he ulster when

and lemon juice and then polish with
dry leather.
Old hot-water bags, split open and
cut into circular pieces, are excellent
mats for house plants.
To Prevent Candles From Dripping.
Candle light is one Of the prettiest
decorations we have, but they often
make such a mess one hesitates to use
them. You may avoid all this. If you
freeze the candles before using, they
will never run, and burn twice as
long.
Candles hardened by being kept in
the refrigerator, or cool place, will
burn longer than others. Keep the
wick 'snuffed," as did our grandmoth-
ars; when you blow candle out blow
up, instead of over the light, and the
candle will not gutter but burn even'
" next time. Church or wake candles
cost more, but are made OF harder ma
terial and last longer.
For a candle economy, shape cork
to fit the candleStick, then drive
through the center a shap nail, bring
ing the pointed end out on top. Place
the end of the candle on the point o.
the nail, and you will be able to burn
all candle ends down to the very last.
Loose Casters.
If annoyed by casters dropping out
of any article Of furniture, try soaking
large corks in water to make them
pliable, then pounding them into the
socket. Make a small hole in center
of cork and drive the caster In 1t. 1t
the cork is large enough to fill the
socket you will have no further trou-

Out of Order.

The village was all agog. FlOssle
Flatfeet was marrying William Giles.
The church was crowded. Flossie,
looking as pale as her somewhat high
ly cOlOred countenance would allow,
bore up until the plain band ring was
safely on her finger, and then, over
come, burst into tears.
The villagers were touched, but not
anxious. All girls cry at weddings.
Then suddenly William Giles screwed
up his face and broke into bowls.
Tears poured down his face and
dripped off his whiskers.
'What's up? Hush, mani" those
nearest him urged. But Giles contin-
ned to howl, and at last burst out:

The suit at the right is an example
of the very much bloused coat with

It is a youthful model, best suited to

The spring housekeeping is finally
.Ompleted by washing and polishing
fixtures and furnishings that require
this treatment. Here are q few hints
and recipes that will be found useful !:
Electric Powder.
Used for polishing gold and silver
iplated ware, German silver brass, cop
iper, glass, tin, steel, or any material
where a brilliant luSter is required. To
-four pounds of the best quality of
whiting add one-half pound cream of
tartar and three ounces of calcined
magnesia Mix thoroughly together.
use the polish dry with piece of
Ichamois skin or canton flannel pre-
lviously mOistened with alcohol and
finish with dry polish A few mo-
lments' rubbing will develop a surpris-
ling luster, different from the polish
produced by any other substance.
Silver Powder.
Nitrate of silver and common salt
leach 80 grains. Cream of tartar three
and one-half drains; pulverize finely,
mix thoroughly, and bottle for use.
Unequaled for polishing copper and
plated goods.
Knives not in daily use should be
well polished and buried in box of
sawdust until required for use.
Britannia ware should be washed
with a wooden cloth and sweet oil,
then washed in water and suds and
rubbed with soft leather and whiting.

Probably no man in America was ever
better qualified to successfully treat the
diseases peculiar to women than Dr..
Pierce, Of Buffalo, N. Y. The cases that
come to him run into many thousands,
giving him an experience that rarely
comes to any one man. DR.. Pierce found
that in nearly every case there were
certain vegetable growths which rarely
failed to give prompt relief in those
feminine disorders from. which so many
women suffer. He combined these roots
and herbs into a temperance medicine
that he called DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pres
cription. This medicine is sold in both
liquid and tablet form by druggists every
where. A weakly, sickly, backachy, head
achy, nervous, respondent woman, with
regular or irregular pains-with feminine

The sensation of the week in the
grisly plot to assassinate leading
citizens in all parts of the country.
Several scores of cleverly constructed
bombs were mailed from New York
city to members of the cabinet, SEN
atOrs, representatives, judges and
wealthy men, and only the failure to
attach sufficient postage prevented the
murder or manning of many of the in
tended victims. Practically all of
those whose death was thus sought
with the prosecution or deportation
Of members of the I. w. w. and other
radicals, so the source of the bombs
Is not far to seek. The reds had
threatened demonstration on May
in behalf of Thomas J. Mooney and
others convicted of the San Francisco
bomb outrage, and Eugene V. Debs,
when sent to prison for violating the
espionage act, had voiced a similar
threat. Investigation showed the
bombs had been mailed on different
days with the evident plan that they
should be received by the victims on
the same day. The Socialists denied
any part in the plot or any knowledge
of it, but it's discovery and the general
feeling Of indignation it aroused result
ed in the suppression of their plans for
elaborate May day celebrations in va
riOuS cities.

What might be regarded as disas-
ter by many also hit the United States,
for the tax on luxuries went into eff
feet on May 1. This boosts the cost
on innumerable articles if the price is
in excess of specified sums, and also
applies to soft drinks, druggists sun
dries, candy and other things that have
become almost necessities for many
Americans.

Once more we are asked to believe
that the bolshevik regime in Russia
is waning, and according to the story,
Lenine and Trotzky have sought in
vain for assurances Of asylum in va
rious European countries. Petrograd
is being evacuated by the bolsheviki,
say dispatches from Helsingfors, and
the government is sending away many
of the inhabitants. On their western
and northern fronts the soviet forces
met with decided reverses, but their
leaders claimed these were counter
balanced by gains in the South.
The soviet government of Munich at
last accounts was still holding out,
but the city was being closely sur
rounded by troops of the German gov
eminent and the rule of the commu-
nists, it was said, was near its end.
Elsewhere in Germany it was the same
old story of repeated outbreaks of the
Spartacans, street fights and riots, and
strikes.
