FRANCES NEw PREMIER.

When Premier MilRrand agreed to accept the presidency of France it was to be expected that he would name as premier under him one who would take sympathetic view of the policies which he had been advocating and fol- lowing That Briand would be selected for that post was the belief of many, In the asking of Georges Leygues to form the new cabinet: there has been selected a leading French statesman who has rendered distingu shed service dur, ing the war and vino will undoubtedly carry out the MlArand programme Thus except that there will be a differ ert man at the helm the resignation oi President Desctranel will not be attend ed by so many difficulties as it was an. tieipated might follow.
 Georges Leygpes was a member of the Clemenceau eaAinet and served as min. ister of marine with marked credit te himself and his country and aside iron his qualifications it is largely because ot that service and the support he is l1nowF to have given to the Miilerand premier. cy that he is nov selected for that i'm portant post. This is further shown b, the fact that the Millerand cabinet is ts be retained in power
 In the same manner that Bfiilerans has worked for national welfare and upon such a basis brought opposing fac tiens together to meet the problem of re ] storing France. Leygues can be expecte, to follow in his footsteps. It is cer tainiy time when France needs [. stand unitediy and pool it's endeaEor for the handling of it's tasks. Likeyis the foreign policy of the geyernmAn seems unlikely to undergo any chang for the present. It will be in the meet ing of new conditions that this will b disclosed and while France has taken different view than some of the other al lies regarding it's own protection an, for that reason the foreign relations na, icy of the new premier will be rate much the same as that of his predeees sor until otherwise announced

HANp1INa IMMIGRATION,

The tide cd immigration has not only set in strong but 1t is bringing 50 many aliens to thisb country that it is impos- sible for the immigration authorities to handle the business. This means not only that conditions have charged but that the anticipated focking of Euro peans to Ameriea- as soon as it was pos sihle following the war is underway. Not for several yeaus have the immigrant stations had aly difficulty in, handling such business. Today Ellis Island is badly Gongested and until the number is reduced steamship companies have been notified that no stnore will be permitted to land.
 That those who are coming here, and they come from. tie war stricken sec tions of Europe, are not disposed to re- main in the coGEyested sections of the linois immigrants commission to the ef- feet that they are inclined to go in large numbers to those sections where there are good opportunities for employmeni on the land.
 The Illinois commission is apparently
 meeting one of the important require, nents of these newcomers. Needing help counsel and guidance this commission i; planning to get into touch with these people, make, a study of tSTeir conditions furnish them information regarding op port1nitles and give them. timely encour agement locking toward AnericaRiza- tion.
 This problem of Ameiricanization i
 one that needs early and earnest atten tion. We have seen the effect of neg
 lecting it in the not recent past. No sucl
 mistakes can be tolerated in the future There is duty that we owe to oGr
 selves as well as a service We can ren der to the immigrants and it will be { waste of valuable time unless there ii well organized effort in behalf O.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

A beauty expert says that once in three years is often enough for a thor ough shampoo and that between times Nou may use a dry shampoo, for which she recommends a coarse cornmeal, which will carry off dust and oil
 Inverted nails and enlarged joints off, ten proceed from the same cause-too short shoes. Inverted nails, if not too bad, may be cured by cutting the nail square across the corners, not rounded like the finger nails; scrape the middle of the nail very thin and cut out three cornered piece from the center Some times bit of lint or piece of cotton crowded under the corner will give relief and prevent the nail from growing inte the flesh.
 A black cloth wrung from cold water and placed over the eyes and forehead of a patient who is suffering from headache or nervousness is often more restful and helpful than a white one used in the same way. It has the samt effect as darkening the room, and k much more convenient for the one car ing for the sick, as well as being mucf better for the patient for there is noth ing more needful in a sick room thar plenty of sunlgiht.

FKEE,IAN,s DENOMINATION.

By the action of the delegates from the towns in the second congressional district the republicans have Feneml- mated Congressman Richard P. Freeman for representative. Il was not without q contest but one that was in every way good natured and that ended with every indication that there would be united party support for the candidate.
 In the renomination of Congressman Freeman there has been selected man who has had six years experience in the national legislature, where each succeed ing term has made him more valuable. That there should be contest only in dieates healthy interest on the part of the constituents in the different counties and It should result in a bigger plural ity than ever for the republican candi- date on election day. The second dis trict republicans in declaring for the re- turn of Congressman Freeman take ac- ton similar to that which has been fol lowed in the other districts of the state which are now represented by republi' cans and the prospects were never bet ter that the entire delegation from Con necticut in congress at the opening oi the next administration would be repub lican.
 Congre ssnnan Freeman has consistent ly- cared for the many interests of the district during his term which is now closing He has been found standing 1T accord with the welfare of his country stale and constituents relative to legis latiye matters and his return to con gress for another term should find hin occupying the more responsible commit tee places that come with the added years of service in Washington.
 Under ordinary conditions the seconS congressional district can be relied upoi 10 send a republican representative il congress. That the district demands congressman who will uphold republican principles should be more emphaticall demonstrated this year when throughou the country there is the insistent de msnd that there be a change from tn democratic policies. In the accomplish ment of such change it Is required o course that republicans should b chosen.

TALKING A TRUCE.

With the peace representatives of Po- land and soviet Russia assembled in Riga the stage is set for the continuation of the efforts to put an end to the strife which have been holding the serious at tention of Europe for a number of months. Conditions have changed since the previous meeting for the purpose of discussing hte armistice sought by Po- land. Then the bolsheviki were seriously threatening Warsaw. Through an un- derstanding which it was hoped might result in peace it was expected that Pc land could be saved from being everrun by the soviet forces, but before that point was reached Poland had made 8 wonderful stand. Not only had it check. ed the advance of the enemy but it had forced them to turn and flee Poland in. ficted great losses and gained much booty but the greatest benefit was the saving of Warsaw. Since then Polane has continued to gain Even now re ports are to the effect that it is seriously threatening Grodno. It has gained great advantage which 1t is bound to us' with telling effect in the conference nov underway
 Already this has been evidenced il the announcement from the bolshevii leader to the effect that the soviet gov ernment was ready to withdraw the de mands made at the Minsk conference That in itself is a victory for PeIant since it had declined to accept them and the way now seems opened to tn arrangement of peace that will meal the end of the fighting.
 Just what effect the notification iron the reds to the effect that new offen sive will be opened unless a truce is de eiared in ten days will have soon be dis closed, The bolshevi5i are apparentl seeking to reach early terms with tn Poles with the idea of coneentratin their entire efforts on General Wrangt but there is doubt whether the Poles wi be rushed into a hurried agreement ur der threat. They know what they hay done against the soviete flores and ths Is fair basis for judging what the can do so that with the Poles noakin steady gains they can afford to disregar the bolshevik call for speed to rnak sure they are right before going ahea

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Going to Stand by Brandeeee.


 Mir. Editor: Never wassthe self inn portance of the suffragists more blatant ly displayed than in their late grandiose statement issued from Hartford, with regard to Senator Brandegee, and their refusal to vote for him.
 They seem to forget, these self-Suf- ficient sisters, that they are out-num- bered in Connecticut. six to one, by the rest of us who. opposed to suffrage, will. of course cast our maiden votes for Mr. Brandegee. as a man of splendid abili- ty and strong character, actusted ai- ways by the courage of his own honest convictfons-a man in the right place
 Through their own persistency, the suffragists have burdened our sex with the franchise and we should. and will, perforce, do our duty this coming elec- tion at the pofls-eyen though not rel ishing the job. This being the case, an other four years in Washington as Ee- nior senator from Connecticut, is as sured the present incumbent. who has served both his state and country sC tirelessly.
 What is the loss of handful of dis. gruntled suffrage votes, when compared to the overwhelming majority which will be cast by thousands of discerning men and women who admire Senator Brandegee for his sturdy undeviatinf course for right in the afairs of state and his wholesale disapproval of tn, present administration?
 It's numbers that count, at election time

LACK OF ENFoxcrAsExr.

When it is declared that a much larger sum is going to be required in order to carry out the enforcement of prohibi- ton it can cause no surprise in view of the results that are being obtained un- der the present state of affairs. It is plainly evident that if everything possi. ble is being done under the anpropria- tions that have bpen provided the amount is grossly inadequate while or the other hand if the appropriation is sufficient then there is serious negiec, of duty on the part of those whose wors t Is to uphold the law.

BUYING MEATS.

Money can be saved by choosing with reasonable care and buying cuts of meat that entail the least waste. In observ- ing lamb and mutton, ascertain that the fat is white and of a waxy hardness. The flesh should be fine grained and of a brownish-red color, where freshly cut. The flesh seen through the skin ghoRld be of purpljsh appearance The fat of beef should be either cream colored or pale yellow, and the flesh close grained chez " red. The sirloin and round are best for roasting and boiling-tlse ribs and brisket second best. because of the greater waste of bone. The tenderest pork is small and not too fat. The fat should be white and the flesh a firm texture, close grained, delicate pink, free from spots. The flesh of veal is less firm textured than that of other meats and of a fresh pink color, while the fat has a whitish, semi trans
 lucent sort of look

New Steps in London.

Many of the dances now being taught in London have been imported from the continent or from America. Spanish steps will be particularly pop ular this winter.
 So far as dancing is concerned, this is the dead season. But it is a time busy enough for people who teach it, and classes are being formed now that will enable pupils 10 begin the season with a full knowledge Of all the new steps.
 The most striking of the Spanish dances is the Pas dEspagne, a series of four brief figure dances linked by waltz movement; another is the Schotis. which bears no resemblance to the old Highland Schottische.
 The tango is to reappear in a very much simplified form, the new one- step is not so monotonous as the old and the American fox trot is a much smoother affair than heretofore.

TO IMPROVE SCREENS.

If the screens and castings of windows are lightly rubbed over with cloth moistened in kerosene every day or two, the flies will not collect on the outside of the doors ready to swarm in the instant the doors are open, says a writer in Good Housekeeping Magazine This is a particularly easy way of keeping flies outof the house where there are small children running in and out Not enough kerosene should be applied to be noticed by anybody but the flies.
 Again when living in apartment houses as so many do, it is often necessary to devise ways and means to secure privacy We have found that by putting a thir coat of good, white paint on tft outside of the window screens, it is easy to look out. but those on the outside eannoa look in.
