SUGAR PRoFITEERINc.

Food Controller Williams in New
 York appears to have cleverly located
 several brokers who were ready tc
 deal in sugar at a handsome advance over tho legal price. but unfortunate ly he has not since been able to To- cate the sugar. Certainly if the SUI
 gar was offered for sale at such a handsome profit it would have been delivered had the deal been completed which unfortunately it was not inas- much as Director Williams apparently expected that he would be able to trace the supply of sweet stuff that was be- ing offered.
 In connection with the profiteerins and hoarding of sugar there arc ap- parently those who have made a study of the law and who have at the same time been finding out how they could get big rake off without getting into it's clutches. Whether they will sue ceed even now remains to be seen but it is evident that what is needed in or der to stop such business is the prose- cution of few of those who are snappiag their fingers at the law by squirming out of some loophole
 From all indications this is being done by taking advantage of the ex- portation privilege in connection with sugar. If sugar can be stored away and marked for export it Is liable to escape seizure, and if sugar that is marked for export. though intended for other use. can be sold at double the price it can command under the restrictions it is likely that it will be consumed in this country by those wEo are willing to be gouged out of the price and regardless of the hard ships caused those who cannot afford to stand the demand
 It is therefore most unfortunate that Controller Williams was not able to carry his telephone sdeals a step or two further so that he could have se cured not only the places where the high priced sugar is to be had, but also to have increased his evidence against those wko are getting around the sugar law. What the country would like to see is a few of those Drofteers get the full penalty of the .axx~

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

 When the eyes are tired by study and the lids have a streak O. vivid red inside, the sufferer may be sure that she needs glasses or more fresh air and sleep. The night and morning use Of an eye cup. filed with tepid water salted with as much salt as will cling to the end of a wet finger, will relieve this infamed condition to a great ex- tent; but if bad headaches accompany the trouble suggest glasses to mother If the girl suffering wears them now she may not have to do 1t when she grows up.
 The color of the skin. the expression body. the step. the speech-every detan of physical appearance. in a way-is evidence of health or lack of it. There is a constant regard for physical well being that gives a woman that excel lent '.set up" posture and alive mental ecstacv. And her regard usually placed elsewhere-on the possession of a mahogany table. perhaps, or nutria coat. Almost any material treas ure is considered of greater impor- tance then herself
 Walking is perhaps the cheapest form of exercise No. perhaps house work is a cheaper form, for housework accomplishes much while it at the same time serves as a form of exer- else. But walking is surely the cheapest form of exercise indulged in solely for it's own sake. And house work, unless it is done inteIligently is not a health producing exercise Many women do their housework in poorly rooms, with their chests contracte and with no thought of happiness to lend health giving quail ties to it. Walking. on the other hand lifts almost any spirit a little from the ordinary cares of life.

HOW TO CUT WASTE.

We continually hear demands made
 for the reduction in taxation we hear
 of insistent calls for the cutting of appropriations and we hear candidates for the national legislature declare that they stand for an economical and efficient administration Of government business. but in spite of it all we ind little progress being made toward ae
 complaining these very things in any
 thing like a businesslike manner.
 Wasteful conditions have rrevailed in the admipistra ton of national af- fairs not only during the period of the war but during other times Much of it is due to the fact that there is no head or tail to the nations busi- ness, because appropria ticns are made with little or no knowledge as to how
 much there is or will be to meet them with and because the system of mak- ing apli opriations and handling such important matters is not intended to bring about economy or esicisncy.
 With q recognized need Of introduc- ing Ludget system some I,rogresd has beer made. It was one ot the frs. things or the programme for this congress to do. The lower house has plan for turning this busi- ness over to a bureau with the idea, the same as in town and city affairs, of seeing that the garment is cut ac- cording to the cloth By thus provid- ing congress with informa ton as to what is asked in the way of appro- priations, what is recommended and what there is to do business with. it ought to be possible if there is anyl regard for the nations welfare to eliminate much of what cannot be at tributed now to anything but waste through a slipshod method of doing business.
 The budget system has been needed for long time. It. however. takes congress a long time to make changes and the country is eagerly awaiting nent.

MAKING APPLE BUTTER.

Apple butter is generally made with cider, but this can be left out if de- sired. Four quarts of sterilized sweet cider should be boiled down to two quarts. To this add four quarts of apples peeled and cut into small pieces If the texture of the apples is coarse they should be boiled and put through a strafHer before being added to the cider. Boil this mixture until the cider does not separate from the pulp. When two thirds done. add one pound of sugar. One-half teaspoon of cinna- mon. alIspice and cloves may be added Pour into steriiiZed jars and steam for five minutes.

ANOTHER CONFERENCE.

The industrial conference didn't last as long as it was expected but in the minds or many it accomplished just about what was expected. Perhaps it was because of a lack of a definite programme of procedure because of The method of voting Of because of the sntroductien before the conference of Instters which Ii was not called to take up Opinions will differ on this. The action. however. of labor in leav- ing the conference without attempting 10 accomplish something along other lines, after the two matters that 1t in troduced, had failed of approval mat e the break that brought about the col laPse of the whole thing. and regret taoie In that connection was the fact that MF. Gompers took his delegation away. making threats as to what would be done because his preposi- tIons had not been favored as pre- sented.
 Thereafter it was next to impossible to expect that any headway could be made by the public and capital rep resentatiyes and for much the same reason the public group could hardly have been expected to meet the situa- ton alone even though the onesided- ness that would have been charged had the capital group remained was eliminated.
 IL is quite evident therefore that the sensible course has teen followed in ending the conf fsrenoo entirely and suggesting that If such work as the conference was expected to do Is to be it ought to be done by other delegates If such a conference is called it will doubtless profit from the acts of the late one. 1t may be subject to much the same sort of diff faculties but it seems wise if another ls called that it proceed under sAna

SUGGESTIONS FOR

THE HOUSEWIFE Candles will burn slowly and evenly if placed on ice for 24 hours before using.
 Shoes should be well stunned and air ed and several pairs should be kept in use.
 Stretch taut wire along the pantry shelf wall. Slip tin lids back of it. Olive oil. or substitute, applied with flannel. will preserve black Place small pieces of gum arabic in the water used to dampen pleats when pressing.
 The wax or oil polish which is good for woodwork is good also for leather doors.
 Use cheesecloth for the pantry win dows. It is more desirable than wire screening.
 When you set dishes on the ice in the refrigerator. place under them q rubber ring such as is used on fruit jars. This will prevent their slipping as the ice melts.
 Do not put fresh coal on the range immediately after taking the drauSht off. If tho coal is allowed to cool the fresh coal will not be burned at once.
 When canning fruit the jars should be sealed immediately if they stand they may cool sufficiently that bacteria might light and cause the fruit to spoil.
 To prevent the unpleasant odor from developing in the vases in which cut flowers stand. change the water daily and put tiny piece of charcoal in the bottom of the vase.
 Vinegar works like a charm when it comes to clea aning dirt and smoke from walls and woodwork Wet a flannel cloth with it and rub.
 tea kettle of boiling water should be poured down the kitchen sink every night. This will prevent cloggins.
