WAsHARLE pRAPERlEs.

Sometimes the smart eerue curtains that give such golden tone to the brown living room, come out of the wash sadly pallid, all their rich ecru tint departed and their general tone a soft cream, which though pleasing enough as cream is not the ecru you seleeted for that particular room Such curtains should be treated by a special process. First soak them overnight in cold water. Next morning put them in soft, warm, very soapy water and wash them till perfectly clean.
 Lace or madras curtains usually need no rubbing. You have only to squeeze and press the soft material in the soap suds and the dirt, loosened by an overnight soaking in cold water. will come out readily. Into the rins- ing water put solution of saffron. which will give your curtains the stunning ecru tint they had when new. Five cents worth ow saffron may be added to a quart of water and boiled for moment Strain and add to the rinsing water.
 Save little of the saffron water for the starch water into which the cur tains go last of aJ. Then press out the water without wringing. spread the curtains between clean sheets and press out all the moisture you can After which the curtains may be iron ed, or dried on curtain frames.

DELAY THE CAUSE

Perhaps there may be some satis- faction derived from the British standpoint of maintaining that this country is to blame for the troubles that have arisen in Turkey, but it will get little sympathy on this side of the water. Regardless of what may be charged to the United States con cernihg the Adriatic situation it is perfectly evident that we had nc fing- CT in the Turkish pie, in spite of the fact that it was the desire of Europe that we shiuld. It is a fact we'll known of course that we were never at war with Turkey and that we have constantly maintained that we want ed no hand in directing the govern ment of any of the countries in Eu- rope or the near east.
 The allies were urgent in their de- sire that the United States should take the mandate fer the near east. Had it been willing to have, done so it is entirely possible that the situa- tion there would not be what is is today. There would have been a def mite policy arranged and it would probably have been underway at the present time But there was no chance from the first that we would undertake such task, even in Ar rflenia toward which the country is most kindly disposed. Whatever de- lay there has been concerning this country and it's connection with near east affairs has been due to the un- justified idea that We. could be pre- vailed upon to accept mandate ir that quarter, and the apparent un willingness to accept the plainly ex. pressed and unfavorable sentiment of the country against such a step. The fact is that there has been 7 dawdling policy followed with the re. suit that there is wrangling over tn,
 disposition of the spoils Delays
 have caused trouble and even siver
 the Turks time to set up stronger re
 sistance. Had the adjustment of tn, l Turkish affairs been carried OH
 months ago there are reasons to be

BATTING COSTUMES.

If one can judge from what one sees in the shops at this season of the year as to the coming sanrnf sea-surf fash ions it looks pretty much as though there would be lot of starting cos tunes and accessories worn. The pre- fectly plain black silk bathing costume completely. srnothered in deep fringe is going to be one of the most popular models.
 Dolrnan wraps of rubber are also go- ing to be very much worn. Already there are any number of striking com binatiens of eolors in these capes. One that was attracting considerable at tehtion was of white rubber, with deep yoke in black rubber, and from this yoke hung deep fringe the length of the cape, this in black and white rubber also. On the yoke were queer figures cut out of white rubber. Cant you imagine how startling this cape will look on the beach?

eERMANY,s REVOLUTION

Among the other problems that are awaiting adjustment in Europe must now be added the new situation Which has arisen in Germany. There have been indications that all was not serene in that country for some little time, and it will be recalled that the pleas of the Ebert govern ment to the allies for easing up on the peace requirements and particu- larly the delivery. of certain Germans for trial by the allies were based upon the claims that to attempt to carry out such provisions would mean the downfall of the government.
 That to a degree displayed the weakness and the inability of those in power there to direct affairs. That they read the feeling of the people alright is now indicated by the fact that despite the leniency secured from the allies the government has been busted. And the most conspicuous part of the whole affair is that while fl seems to have been fully realized it advance that it was underway and 1t was known who were directing il sufficient control was not possessed
 
 by the Ebert government to attempt resistance. The much talked about forces were not called upon and ii will have to be numbered among tn, few bloodless revolutions though. Of course the end is not yet.

THE CITY MEETING

As was to be expected the voters of Norwich in city meeting acted fav- orably upon the three propositions placed before them. There was noth- ing else for them to do provided they could be assured that such steps were necessary and reasonable.
 There is bound to be much inte- rest in the statement that was made by President Shea of the gas and electrical commission, which was lat CT supported by Commissioner Jen- sen, when he said that for the next five years it ought to be good sailing in the gas and electric plant. From that we are to gather that the out look for business and the means of meeting it are good It is indicated that during that time we will be get ting the benefit of the improvements which have been made at the plant and which have cost much money, For that the people will look with pleasant anticipation even as they have recognized in the past the bene- fits they have been getting in the way of cheaper rates.
 The aim must be as long as we have a municipally owned gas and cleo trical plant, to keep it up to the high est standard of efficiency. Reference was made to the payment of fancy prices for coal which raises the ques- tion as to whether it is possible at q plant of this size to manufacture electricity as economically as it car be purchased. If we can we want tc continue to manufacture it, but if il is possible to buy it at a lower cos end thereby eliminate the expenses 0 renewing equipment every now ant then and be certain of getting curren when it is wanted, it appears to be : business proposition that ought to b. thoroughly looked into. If it is pos sibls to acquire electricity from pro ducers who can possibly make on pound of coal do what it takes thre and a half to do at our plant and al coal bears a fancy price these days it seems to be situation demandin a thorough investigation, not only t see whether it is so, but for the en of the five year period if not for tn present.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

Prune juice is almost necessity in a small child's diet.
 An out of door life for children leads them unconsciously to exercise their muscles more than is possible for the child who stays in doors.
 If the feet are tender and swell a nightly bath of warm water with a little salt CT soda in it will give relief. After washing, the feet should be thoroughly dried, care being taken to dry spaces between the toes.
 Remember that the time baby is most susceptible to colds is when he has come right out of a bath. The pores are open and his body is warm and glowing For this reason the best time to give baby a bath is just be- fore his evening meal, after which he immediately retires, or in the morn ing just before a nap. Have every thing ready so that as soon as he is through his bath he may be fed and put to bed, so that it will not be neees sary to let him remain exposed before being tucked away

LAUNDRY HINTS.

Use a smooth, well-rnade wash board.
 A jagged. washboard tears the clothes.
 Use wringef. It presses out the water without straining the flores.
 Have clean, well-kept irons. smooth clean iron makes for good results.
 Wash clothes frequently and be- fore they become too soiled. It saves your strength and the clothes.
 Save ironing by choosing simple clothing and line. Many articles. in cluding crepe. seersucker, ad knitted garments may be pulled into shape instead of being ironed
 The rolls of the wringer should be set tight for cotton materials and loose for linen, or linen can be s1ueezed out in the hands Hard wringing cfeases it badly. Fold but tons in flat to prevent tearing in the wringer.

STILL BREAKING AGREEMENTS

Once again the dockworkers of New York have gone on a strike and they hope to get the workers of other cities to join them in demands for increased wages even though thev have an agreement that runs for more than five months. In the case of their previous strike when so much inconvenience was caused by the tying up of transportation they were disregarding their agreement and now within six months of that time, despite the new agreement thev are tossing it aside as a scrap of paper and planning to cause not only the steamship owners but all those q who are dependent upon such ser vice all the trouble t-1ey possibly can instead of putting forth thei, best efforts to reach an anaicable so. lution.
 Here is another case of chasins the high cost of living, but there ap. pears to be a total disregard for any. one else or disposition to listen tt reason. As in such cases the de. mands unquestionably are placed at s - higher figure than they expect to get, and even though there is al agreement the fact that the ship owners are prepared to grant the mer Hn advance indicates that tAa .Iai...,

ation is open to fair settlement. But when in defiance of the service to the public and without deference to thme attitude of the owners they go out on strike their very act de stroys whatever sympathy they might otherwise arouse.
 It is regrettable fact that the leaders of such men are not guided by different policies. There is no reason why settlement could not be reached while the men remained at work, but the very fact that agree ments in. the past have been entirely disregarded it cannot fail to be i'm pressed upon them that there is bound to be disposition to discount any promise that the men make fol the future. By their own actions they have made their position all thu more difficult to maintain.

There Must Be Judgment Day

MT. Editor: I was much interest ed in the letter of r. J. w. of March 7th. It would be comforting thought to believe that we went to sleep in death, to awake in a moment in heaven with our loved ones who had gone before But my dear friends how could that be?
 There must be a Judgment day when as the Bible tells us, all na- tions shall be gathered and the sen fenced passed upon them in these words: Come thou blessed of My Father inherit the kingdom prepared for the devil and his angels Please world" or Depart from me ye cursed into everlasting fire prepared far he devil and his angels Please read 1 Thess, 4th chap. 14-15-16-17. There can be no mistaking the mean ing of these words. And as the Bible tells us thousand years with the Lord are as one day, and one day as thousand years, so we, in our last long sleep shall have no know | ledge of the flight of time. I believe that the soul is immortal, and that | in Gods own time the earth and | the sea will give up their dead in a l glorious resurrection, and that we shall know and be known over there | A READER 1 Jewett City, March 12, 1920.

DANGERS AHEAD

Evidence continues to pile up against the idea of providing a bonus for the service men in the recent war. In addition to what service men them selves have said and what member of the American Legior's executive committee has stated it cannot fail te be recognized that little thought has been given to the difficulty in car rying out such 8 policy.
 Not only has the secretary of the treasury and his assistant opposed such legislation as would provide for a two billion dollar bonus but it has received the disapproval of congress sional leaders and the head of the federal reserve board. They deal with the danger that would be in volved in attempting to float bond issue to care for such a provision and point out the effect it would have upon the cost of living, credit and the several issues of government bonds already issued because of the war.
 Nothing but discouragement there fore appears to confront the efforts for a bonus through bonds. There is the alternative of taxation and whenever the merits of the two meth ods are discussed that is considered the logical one if anything of the kind is to be attempted. But haste in such a matter is meeting with even greater Encouragement, for it is fully realized that it would be de cidedly different course than pursued
 in other wars. It was more than 3 generation following the Revolution
