LoNERGAr,s STONE THROWING.

In the appeals which Congressman Lonergan is making to the people of Con necticut for his election as United States senator he lays much stress, not upon the ability and character of Senator Brandegee, but upon the fact that Sena- tor Brandeges voted against certain bills
 It Is an old saying that man in a glass house shouldn't throw stones. Yet Mr. Lonergan launches out as if his rec ord was something to be proud of, cour- aseout and displaying the qualifications of one who should be sent to the upper house of congress from Connecticut.
 Mir. Lonergan makes no headway when he refers to Senator Braadegee oppos-
 ing the child labor bill which the sen- ator recognized as unconstitutional and which was So declared by the United States supreme court. It is to the credit of the state to have man in the senate who will stand by his oath and not against it.
 When Mir Lonergan refers to Senator Brandegee opposing the suffrage meas ure he is correct But Lonergan also opposed the bill until President Wilson Topped and then Lonergan followed the administrators order indicating that his entire attitude on it was guided by an- other.
 On the prohibition amendment MT. Lenergan was opposed just the same as was Senator Brandegee. Senator Bran 6egee opposed it because he believed it should be left for the state to decide for 1 itself, which was the same attitude he took on suffrage, but Lonergan's expla- nation is lacking.
 When it came to the matter of pass | ing the Yolstead act over the veto of the president, which action was taken by congress MT. Lonergan failed to vote | It is interesting to note also that dur ing the recent period when sugar was at or near its peak price, Congressman Lonergan in spite of tie recognized in l justice of the situation and the need for relief refused to vote for an investiga. ton of the situation with which the ad- ministration in several respects seemed to be closely connected.
 1 Congressman Lonergan is certainly in no position to throw stones, and Con- necticut isn't going to cast aside the ser. vice and influence. of Senator Brandeget for a new representative who would re quire years before reaching the position
 new possessed by Frank B. Brandegee
 even if MT. Lonergan's congressional rec ord wasn't against him. Connection
 should give Brandegee a bigger plural ity than ever.

MT. Editor: I want 10 call your stten- ton to this excerpt from The American Monthly:
 "senator Harding welcomes the sup port of all citizens irrespective of de- scent That is good news. His atti- tude is unimpeachable. It is wholly sat- isfactory if, once elected, NIT.

There has been a ten deney for prAsidents to select the msHt- bers of their cabinets and their ap- poiDtees too largely from enc ethnie group. We are not office seekers. We demand no patronage. except where jus tihed by merit. Neither shall We accept mere crumbs that fall from the banquet table of Anglo-Saxonism.
 MT. Wilson coafldsd to Dudley Field Malone, candidate of the farmeF-labor party for governor of New York, that he hoped to spend his declining days in England It is not unnatural in view of this sentiment, that his administra- tion is wholly British.

.coI. GeorEe Harrey,s statem.at.


 Col. George Harvey, noted editor of Harveys Weekly, has issued state ment on Senator Frank B. Brandegee' s part in the senate fight against the Will son league of nations in which he stated that Senator Brandegee acted as a general manager of the patristic forces and not once during that Rrotracted struggle did he forsake his post"
 The statement follows: Tt might seem invidious to make comparison of the ser vices rendered by individual senators during the long contest for the preserva= tion of the republic. Tae fact, however is apparent that none had more to risk than Senator Brandegee. He was one of the very few who were to go before the people immediately for endorsement or rejection In no other state, mere- over, had there deyeloped so jealous a propaganda for the Wilson league as that which emaEated from New Haven ia Connecticut.
 'Hhe two most notable democratic nsters, MT. Reed apd AF. Shields, could not be accorded too high praise for their courage and resolution in de- tying the powerful and relentless leader of their own party and yet neither of these had as much Immediately at stake ss Senator Brandegee.
 "Nor did any senator act with greater promptitude or dscisivsness. he wa: one of the very firsa to declare his 1T. reyoeahIe determination to do all with in his power to prevent the betrayal oi his country without the slightest consid eration of possible eensequenees to hil own political future.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

There is no more common ''killioy" of beauty than clegsed pores. They are ugly and they alse produce un- slightly pimples.
 Heat and precipitation tend to relax the tissues of the face, and when there is a little sagging you will look older You need an astringent. Ice water will help to get the muscles back and it will make the skin firm, but nothing is better than good quality of witch hazek You can get it now. pleasantly perfumed. Use it after you have rub bed in plenty of cold cream, which of course, you have allowed to remain awhile. After you have wiped this off, use the witch hazel.
 One of the best remedies for a coat of sunburn is sweet cream. The cream is healing and not the least bit irri- tating to the most fiercely burned nose. The prepared "eool creams" are, of i course healing and bleaching, but are very apt to irritate the sensitive mem ber. Before washing the face rub lightly with ordinary sweet table | cream, let stand as long as possible, then wash the face with lukewafm
 water, using no soap. Sunhurn is
 really painful to some nersons and 1 sweet cream lessens the hurt.
 1 Delicate finger tips cannot be had if 1 the nails are dry and full of little ridges, or if they are brittle and in- 1 clined to break off If you have nails
 of this type, you will find the follow
 ing paste very effective; Take equal
 parts of turpentine ana Hyrrh, mix l them and melt them into paste hy i putting them in small vessel set iE l a larger vessel of very hot water
 Spread a little of this paste on the finger nails every night and let i dry on. Next morning it can be re- \ moved easily by rubbing with a littlt | olive oil. This paste is also very goo6 1 for taking off the small white marks l which appear in the finger nails ane which some women consider ugly anC l undesirable.

ROLL TABLE CLOTHS.

In some of the domestic science schools the pupils are taught to roll tablecloths instead of folding them
 since the folds in the linen are always the first to show wear. The cloths are ironed flat and rolled while being iron ed. Start to roll them as soon as a half.a yard is ironed and keep the roll directly in front turning it as fast as the ironing is done. Thick brown pa per may be used if you have no regu- lar roll. One woman procured several mailing tubes and placed them end to end and covering with a fancy wall paper, pastiRg it on securely. This makes a firm foundation for the roll.
