THE PEACE RESOLUTION.

Regardless of the fact THAI it has
been persstently proclaimed that the
president would veto it if passed, there
has been no interruption of the plans
for the adoption of the Knox resolution
declaring the state of war between this
country and Germany and Austria Hun
gary at an end.
Following favorable action by the
house, although the resolution in the
lower body was somewhat broader, eff
forts were made to have the plan
killed in the senate. The administra-
ton whip was brought into action and,
like the appeal to the Oregon commit
teeman to stand by the treaty without
changes the democratic senator's were
driven into line and Neven those who had
had the temerity to vote for reservations
when they were up for action dared not
stand for the plan, which was made nee
essary because of the failure of the
treaty. for technically ending the war
and eliminating the effect upon business
caused by the fact that We are still un.

Nevertheless there were enough in the

Stories That Recall Others

time trying to convince her of the mer-

point where it looked as if he had con-

A Tragedy.
George had come home from college

from the village youngster that had
been sent away. He had that know

toward his whole family and a bit of
black fringe on his upper lip which he
was wont TO caress affectionately and

LABOR SAVING

Before buying any household device,
decide whether it will pay for itself in
the long run by saving time and strength
or wear and tear, or if it wills make
some especially disagreeable task less
unpleasant Devices which can be used
for many purposes are seldom employed
by the heusekeeper for more than one,
and often they are more cumbersome to
handle and less easily cleaned.
Long handles on brooms brushes and
iustpans save the back.

GLOVES.

Glaee kid and suede gloves are pre-
ferred by American women, who never
seem to accept silk as glove material
for formal occasions. Suede gloves in

TO OPEN CLANS,

When you want to open CLAIMS you
should first wash them very thoroughly.
Have ready a clean dipping pan and
place the CLAIMS in it. Now pour a little
boiling water on TO the clams-enough
to cover the bottom of the pan thorough
ly-and put the pan in the oven. Leave
them there until the shells have opened.
In this way the juice that comes from
the clans as they open will be perfectly
clean and fit for use.

The Wsiaht of the Brain.

In man the brain weighs from two
to four pounds. the average weight in
male European adults being about 40
TO SO ounces. or about one thirty fifth
Of the weight of the body. Brains of
females average about five ounces less.
In old age the brains lose both in bulk
and weight. Cromwell's brain, age fif-
ty-nine, was said TO weigh says ounces.
but this is not accepted by physiolo-
gists. Daniel Webster's brain, age
seventy, weighed $3.50 ounces. The
brain Of an executed criminal age
thirty-four, Of small stature. but in
telligent and cultivated. weighed lT.7s
ounces. That of a congeniral epileptic
IDIOT weighed so ounces. Flint says in
his textbook: "A careful study of the
weight of brains shows the impossible
ity of applying TO individuals an abso-
Lutte rule that the greatest brain power
is connected with the greatest amount
Of brain substance"

WASHABLE CURTAINS.

Washable curtains should be folded in
quarters and left so through all the
soaking and washing, unless the material
is quite strong. Soak first in cold water
Warm water would set the CRIME so the
curtains would never come snow white
again. Chance the water as often as
possible, using plenty of soap. When
the irst dirt disappears, use warm water
and finally hot.

BRINGS OUT FLAVOR.

Just a word for the salt that hath
not lost its SAVIOR. Spices of all kinds
help out lin the most unexpected places
but don't forget pinch of common salt
to bring out the real favor.
1t seems to be the general idea that
when little more sweetening or better
flavor is desired it is necessary to add
more sugar, when in reality it is only
salt that is needed to bring out the real
natural flavor or sweetness of the food.

CLEANING BOOKS.

Most family libraries are dishgured by
one or two once lovely volumes in un-
practical bindings of pale silk or white
leather dinmed by CRIME. Art gum or
a soft kneaded eraser may clean them.
If not, try fine powdered pumice, lightly
applied with a clean chamois. This is
what picture dealers use to clean the
margins of old prints. 1t roughens the
surface less than rubber.

NOVELTY Wells.

If you wish to be very up to date you
must wear smoke gray net veil with
border, the latter arranged in interlaced
lines. The net is very thin and silky
and over a clear complexion is infinitely
becoming. Once again the Parisiennes
are wearing wells made of heliotrope Rus
sian net.
A famous Partisan beauty once said
that heliotrope veil called for special
makeup" She insisted that the face
powder must have something of a hello
trope tint in it, and the rouge if rouge
is used, must be very pale and delicate.
In the case of the charming women
who set forth this opinion the result was
superexcellent. In her heliotrope veil
square and fioating-she looked ethereal
and lovely.
There is a distinctive beauty in the new
wells of springtime, and their decorative
value is high pleasing novelty is the
henna colored veil, which has border
ing of finest straw er& lroidery Straw is
newly raised to position of exaltitude
in the fashion world, and used in en-
broidery schemes upon net is making a
name for itself. 1t is seen not only in
connection with henna veil which COW
ers successfully a satin cire cap of the
same color, but in gray and beige to con-
trast or agree with a veil of bold large
mesh, and also in black and white. But
the colored wells are. of course, more
conspicuous and striking.
Nearly all the new wells are handsome
ly bordered. In some cases a lace effect
is gained. in others a chenille bobbed
hem. Many of these wells that are de-
voted to the exclusive trimming of hats
have border of jet beads, partly tc
weight the yelling, and partly for the
sake of novelty. To match the veil ant
the hat is no difficulty now, and at the
present there is decided vogue for do
| ing so. for a wells that contrast in color

RECIPES.

Clam Chowder-Cut one-fourth pound
clear fat pork in one-half inch squares.
Fry out slowing, strain, throw scraps
away, then take two good sized onions,
cut up small, fry in pork fat without
browning. Cut up three-fourths of a
quart of potatoes and boil. Take one
quart opened clans, cut off black ends
of clans, cut the balance only leaving
the soft part whole. When potatoes are
cooked add to clans and clam water. Let
boil a few minutes, as cooking clans too
long makes them tough; then add on
| ions and fried out pork fat and one quart
hot milk Season with salt and pepper.
A few crackers may be rolled fine and
added, if you like chowder thick.
Scallcped Bananas.-Peel and slice six
bananas, arrange the slices in layers in
| creased ireproof dish. Sprinkle each
layer lightly with salt and pepper and a
few small pieces of margarine When
| the dish is full pour over a teacup of
milk. Cover and bake slowly for one
