WESTERN WOMEN WANT PEACE TREATY RATIFIED so
 H. c. |. MAY BE SOLVED

ratification of the League and sign ing the treaty will do more than any thing else to overcome the general spirit of turbulence and unrest throughout the nation. There are enormous undertakings ahead of us that will tax our ingenuity to the ut most-one of the greatest of which is finding O way to reduce taxation, or so adjust it that its heaviest bur dens shall be borne by those best able to carry them.
 A way must be found to reduce the cost of living. There are dozens of vftally important and vastly interest ing things to be done, and the people have 0 feeling that these local mat ters are delayed in this long-protract- ed wrangle over the League. The war Is over, the boys are coming home, there is work to do and riddles which must be solved, not guessed. The whole country wants Congress to get to work on these problems, and is impatient of delay.
 There is no national question pend- ing today in which women are not interested. They are reading the pa pers, following the course of their Congressman and Senators as never before, and there is no more thought full or intelligent class of voters in the United States today than that of women, some of whom have had the vote for years, while others will cast their first ballot a year from next November. There is no camouhage yet discovered that can hide the fact that the women arc the most important factor in the political field today.

VACATION HINTS.

On tramping trips and picnics a few soda water straws will very often take the place of the drinking cup. Many times it is impossible to pro- cure a cup of clear water without stirring up the sediment in a brook. A straw will not disturb the water. will reach down to the clear water underneath the top, which may be leaf-covered, and is easily carried.
 When you are going camping, do not fail to take with you an asbestos roaster. This is made from a square of asbestos cloth or paper and is cone-shaped. It is really indispensa- ble for roasting potatoes, apples. corn on the ear. etc The food is placed inside and the pointed end of the cone is inserted in the camp fire. Do not stand it upright, but leave it on its side with the apex of the cone toward the fire The use of this roaster will produce roasted camp favorites with great deal more of paIateableness than otherwise.
 You will need matches and the sort that are immune to dampness. Dip the sulphur ends of them into melted parafine. They will burn even in the rain this way, for the wax runs down and keeps them from going out
 Salt water should not be allowed to reach the hair when bathing. A rubber cap is not sufficient. Cut a long strip of chamois about five inches wide Wind this all about the head and then wear the rubber cap over it.
 To prevent water from getting into the ears when bathing, rub a bit of cocoa butter upon lambs wool and place in the ears to keep out the water. The 1aznbfs wool IS not ao-

Household Hints

To remove the rust from tinware, rub the rusted part well with a green tomato. Allow the tomato to remain on the tin for a few minutes, then wash and the rust will disappear.
 If you drop a reaspoonful of fat into the water in which you are boil ing dry beans or other starchy vege- tables, you will not be annoyed by having the lid of the pot jump off. The fat acts as oil on the troubled water and keeps it calm.
 Place spools on the nails in your clothes closet and hang your gar ments on the spools, thus keeping them from being torn by the nails.
 Save the annoyance of scattered crumbs when putting dry bread or crackers through the meat grinder by muzzling the whole front of the ap- paratus by a paper bag-not a crumb will escape.
 When cleaning mating or the crex rugs shake thoroughly to remove all dust, then rub well with cloth rung out of salt and water. Use alcohol to remove stains.
 If washing in soap and water makes your hands rough rub them with oat- meal while still wet and they VIII be- come soft
 You can clean the tinware by rub ping with dry flour, using a piece of newspaper instead of cloth.
 When marking linen with ink first make the initials with a lead pencil and then trace the ink over the pen ell marks. This will prevent the ink from spreading.
 To Keep a Rug From Curling.
 When the edge of a. rug persists in curling up, lay over it, on the wrong side, a damp cloth, and on this place a moderately hot iron. Let it stand for a few minutes and the steam will make the rug lie perfectly fiat.
 An old corset steel dress-stay, or piece of stiff wire, cat-stitched diag- onaIIy at the corners on the wrong side of a much-used tapestry rug, will keep it from curling.
