REACHING THE ALIEN.

Not a bit too soon is Americani- zaticn work being Undertaken in many of the large cities of the coun- try where they are large alien popu- latiens- Conditions that have arisen and those that are constantly deveI- oping show the vital need of bringing these people into a close understand ing of the customs and institutions of the country and in no better or quicker way can this be accomplish ed than by giving them the necessary instructions in inc English language But without urging them in this di- rection little headway can be expect ed- It is useless to expect to leave 1t to them to pick up for themselves. There are few who might under take it. they are others who will in sist that their children have the best possible education and yet there will be others who will care neither for the betterment of their positions through getting into closer touch with Amer ican affairs and ideals. There will be found not few who will always in zfec upon talking with their children in the language of their native land, whether the children like it or not and it is this whole situation that has got to be taken into consideration in making such people 1t for citizenship and better residents
 Ir is interesting to note in this con- necrion that Boston has been divided into i4 districts in which there is q committee of Americans of alien birth

Before his new law went into effect there was nothing definite as 8 guide and rate fixing was jumped at; and even now many voters seem to be unacquainted with the purport of this law and fail to comprehend the necessity Of considering more fully the acceptance of the town report with the budget Years ago the ordi eary running expenses of country towns was known to be about so much and it was fairly safe to fix the rate in that way, but conditions are changed.

THE NEW HOME.

] There is nothing like the school of e4perience for learnfns hew to move easily and economically, but fertu- nate indeed is the woman who has not had many sessions in that school. However. there are bits of advice that may De handed down from the one who had moved often to the woman who is beginning.
 Here is enc bit of advice. Never go into new house or house that is new to you until it has been thor oughIy cleaned. Sometimes house wives say: Tt will be all tracked up when we move the things in; what is haying tne nse it ' clssnedss @ % Of course. M % you need not have the Hoofs wayed and the furniture oiled, but you should have all actual cleaning done before hand. even if in order to have it done ing all the night previous to your moving. in.
 And another thing. have everything you move into the new place as clean as possible. Send rugs and carpets to the cleaners a week or ten days be- fore yeu move so that they may be clean as soon as you are settled and ready fer them. Have all furniture that needs repairing sent off before you move. not after. Some persons ters, feeling that they can tell bet ter after they are in just what they will need and what repairs should be made. But if you have 1t / done in transit you save handling of the fur niture.
 There is quite a knaek in getting your home immediately into some sort of living order De not feel that 1t is necessary to get one room thoroughly settled before you tackle another. Do what you can to each 8 S soon as pos sible so lang as you do not actually make more work for yourself in so doing.

THE HANDY PAPER BAG.

Don't throw away your paper bags, or, at any rate, not all Of them. When there is sickness in the family and the rooms are heated by stoves it is very disturbing for the patient to hear the coal put on. Fill lot of pa per bags in the cellar and have a hed full of them. then, when the fire needs new coal. drop bagful on-the bag way to do all of the time. saves lots of coal dust from flying around the room.
 The large size bags are fine for put ting away fur. velvet and woolen pieces No moths will ever get to them Paste the top together. put in one bag and draw another one over the paste;s save using the smelly moth balls. etc. For great many Of us it is more convenient to use things out of the bags in which they come from the store, like sugar. rice, meat, etc.
 If you will turn the top of the bag over an inch or two. as if you were makes the edge firm and you can dip out the contents without spillinS. Just try it and prove it.
 When you want to rub off the stove slip your hand into a paper bag. It will save the hands from the stove blacking.
 Have a paper bag in a tin tomato can to put table and sink scraps in. You can close the top of the bag; no odor will come from it until it can be disposed of by burning or carried to the garbage can.
 If you want to save seeds from plants tie a small paper bag over when the flower is nearly ripe and the wind have them in your paper bag, and if you want to have good laugh some time, slip small paper bags over kit ties feet and tie them on.

DAYLIGHT SAVING.

Following the hearings which they held in connection witt. the project the board of aldermen Of New York citL have passed an ordinance pFeyid ing for daylight saving fer that city regardless of the fact that the na- tionaI law has been repealed. Thus it becomes quite evident that that board does not consider that it is defying Providence but in fact taking advan- tage of the daylight that has been provided for us.
 That tbis is not going to he an isc- lated eass ef retaining this plan is in : dicated by the statement to the effect that tne beard Of aldermen of Hart ford will call fer hearings in that city to decide what ought to be done about it there. That this will be only one of many similar cities in New England to follow such a lead is in dicated by the appeal that was made net so long ago that the states in New England should get together and pass law that would give this part Of the country the advantage of day light saving even if the rest of the country wanted te sleep away the best part Of the day.
 With New York adopting the idea ii is plainly evident that 1t is going to have no small degree of influence upon the territory around that vicinity and vet it may find it a bit awkward if it tries to carry out the idea alone with out any other cities coopera in 2 herewith. If. however. New England. or the leading cities thereof should de- eide to follow along this line and re- tain daylight saving advantages that have been enjoyed for the past two years the cooperation would without doubt be the means of making such changes that all would be brought in to the plan and thus less confusion would be caused. New York having made the start it remains to be seen how many others will follow

LAUNDRY NOTES.

A little vinegar placed in the rins- ing water on washing day will prevent the hands from becoming rough and chapped.
 Ii you scorch a garment in ironin g rub dry starch over the stain, then sponge it off. Repeat as often as nee essary.
 To prevent the hand from becoming scerched after long continued ironing, cut out a piece of thick asbestos to fit the top. and you will have no more trouble with heat.
 In ironing the plait of the back of a shirtwaist on which tiny buttons are sewed, try laying it on a flannel or heavy Turkish towel, as you do your embroidery. The buttons sink in as the material is ironed.

SOLICITATIONS FOR


 THE HOUSEWIFE
 The time taken to produce good flavor in food is well spent.
 You will need far less sugar when stewinz fruit if you add pinch of carbonate of soda.
 When soup is too salty, it can he made eatable by putting a piece of raw potato into the pan for few minutAG.
 If you put suet in drippiAe pan and place it in the oven and let it get warmed through. it will keep for weeIze. When milk is scorched you can remove the burnt taste by putting the pan into cold water and adding pinch of salt to the milk.
 Boiled potatoes cannot be mealy and daky if they have to wait to be ca ten. They should b. served the minute they are done.
 No fruit tree or shrub will do well nless the earth is dug up around the roots and fertilizer worked into the soil at least once year.
 All surplus juices that exude from cooked fruit can be boiled down. made q trifie richer, and put into jar. It will make good f1ayoring for gela- tin.
 Befere putting away spare silver clean it thoroughly. then wrap it in dark blue paper with camphor balls in the parcel. and it will be found bright even months afterward.
 Borax is one of the best agents of cleanliness known. and it should play large part in every household; sprinkled about the kitchen it will exterminate reaches and ants.
 To soften brushes that have become hard soak twenty four hours in raw linseed oil and rinse in hot turpentine. Or they may be washed in hot soda and water with soft soap.
 If new enaneled saucepans are plac- ed in a pan of warm water allowed to come to the boil and then cool ed they will be found to last much longer before either cracking or ht1rninp

PUSHING THE aoLsHEvIkI.

Conditions haven't improved in Russia SO that it is possible to accept the reports coming from there until they have been confirmed, but if the advances that have been claimed bE the army in the northwest are so the time is not far off. in case there is 2 desire to take it this winter. when PetroSrad will be delivered from the bolsheviki.
 Everything points to the fact that the bol<heyiki are hard pressed and though the fall of Kronstadt and Pe- trcsrad are looked upon as premature it is not improbable that gains of tell ing importance, which may make it impossible for the forces of Lenine and Trotzky to hold these points, have been made. On several occasions the anti boIshevik armies have moved dangerously near to these points but at no time did they reach where it is admitted that they are today, for the capture Of Gatchina seems to be a certainty and though kronstadt may not have been taken it seems likely that it is seriously threatened.
 This clearly indicates that General Iudeuitch has the bolsheyik forces in the north son the run, and while he is making these gains the cooperative drives on the other fronts are keeping that even though they possess the greater number and are inside the cir ele there is less chance of shifting about the armies.
 At the same time the anti bolshevik a rInies are getting the benefit of much of the war material that was left from he big conflict and is being forwarded to them by the allies. This is proving g of much value and offsetting the nu merieaI strength of Lenine's armies at time when it is needed. There is no telling when the holshevik crash will eeme but it is certain that Beni kine koIchak and Yudenftch are helping to advance the day.

 The less soap we apply to our skin the better for the skin The less water we apply the better for the skin. A soap and water bath oneH in two weeks is ample in cool wea ther for A plain cool or tepid water bath twice q week is comparatively safe.

 Much ease can be given to aching feet by nightly foot bath of hot water. in which has been dissolved a small quantity of salts. For some req son great relief can be given to burn ing feet by this process. Hot water softens callous spots and they should be carefully scra ped off as soon as the feet are dried This should be fol- lowed by n1assaging the soles well and rubbing into them q small amount of oil or vaseline.
 Toethhrushes will proha ply be popu- lar as long as we continue taking mixed diet. refining natural food and belting our meals. But the tooth brush is useful in inverse ratio with age: the older you are the less good a toothbrush can do you. As soon as a. baby cuts tooth the tooth brush should be brought into play. It is surprising how quickly a baby gets the hang of the thing and gets to the bathroom as soon as he has had his bfeakfa st to brush his teeth.
