AID FOR ARMENIA.

While the United States has been opposed to accepting a mandate for the government of Armenia, it has nevertheless been interested for long time in getting better condi- tions for those people and relieving them from the control of eppressors and murderers. The conditions which have existed there in the past and those there even today cry out for ef- fective relief.
 The Armenians have been assisted to throw off the yoke of Turkey and they have set forth as republic, but like many of the early pioneers whs set out into the west it is bound to be the prey of many enemies, and the Turks and Tartars have already showed what they intend to do to make life miserable for these people. They have needed help in the past but the fact that they have set up a republic does not overcome entirely their unfortunate position. and will not for some time to come.
 Thus while we are not ready to take hand in directing the government of that republic there are ways in which
 
 to these people. Beset with trouble from without it is important that they should have the means of resisting it and the report of the senate sub com mittee to the effect that the United States should provide the army oi that republic with arms and equip ment must be regarded as a plan te furnish 1t with vital essentials. Un- less Armenia is going to have the means of defending itself against tnt ravages of heighbors it is going te be in as serious position as before To have an army or the means of es. tablishing one, without the necessary | equipment to --~'-- '+ effective, woult leave il equally helpless. It is there fore dtate proper that it should b' provided with that which will perrni it to look out for itself. and that thii country as a friend should be inter ested in seeing that it gets it.

Stories That Recall Others.
Her Chance.


 Seven year old Billy had begun to show his inclinations by trading at school. His pencils, pens, paints and even tablets were being traded for all sorts of trifes. His sister, much dis turbed, complained to the family and one after another. all except his aunt, reproved him. He smiled, seemingly not hearing, while they talked.
 And after they were through he called his aunt to one side. Say. do you need bottle of ink" he asked. i've got chance to trade for one for pencil, and you've got about six pencils on your desk in there"
 Are They:
 A young married woman and her girlhood chum, who is still single. were discussing some of their old neighbors the other day. Finally the single one mentioned the old time neighbofhood pest and said Why. he's still bragging about his children as he used to. Now, his son who was in the war-"
 "Oh," interrupted the other one. ohe surely hasn't a son old enough to 20 to war;
 "Yes, indeed" assured the unmar- ried one. ''He not only went to war but hesis married"
 Well. the terms are synonymous. ? | retorted the married one, and the |. spinster Is still wondering if there were any secrets revealed thereby.

l.aENEEIrs nEsPLrE porAER.

Many cities and some states throughout the country are going to continue to get the benefits of day. light saving. They understood what it has done for them in the past and they recognize the importance of con- tlnuing a good thing. The one real treTret is that the entire country is not going to be on daylight saving basis this summer.
 This of course was upset by the re- peal of the federal daylight saving lay. But that action did not prevent ] any municipality from adopting it's own arrangement for securing the same advantages that accrued from the federal law. Already for many it snas gone into effect For many more C win be effective later and within a months time a still larger number .nni be working. playing and sleeping Under advanced time.
 a. The lone disadvantage that arises ,this year comes from the fact that -there is the lack Of concerted action -sg under a federal law. 1t makes il secessary not only to keep In mind the lime which a neiehboring state or pQssihly a neiehboring city goes by bnt to have due regard for railroad ! and institutional time when they dc [ -ict conform with the community ad. .ranccment Of the clock. 1t Is this ,.hrowing ont of joint of things whicf arc more or less closely related tha 2 r-nlses the confusion for the time be. rms. and in some instances makes i advisable to have two clocks, one op. .rratlng under the standard time ant thc other under the advanced.
 lt is a movement. however, whicl calls for uniformity. With all doin, iko same one adjustment in the sprint and the other in the fall are all tha ls required but with one city doing i and another not. or one state doing i ffd another not. it means that tn
 matter has got to be kept in mind al ur the time. But even then there ar
 tlany cities that figure 1t is worth al

opeosed to Reauested Inerea,..

Mir. Editor: Referring to the artf- Gle in Saturdays Bulletin stating that d second request for raise in teach CTS salaries was under censiderat tior, 1t seems to the writer that there are reasons why this request should not be granted.
 Any large increase on any payroll i in any department of labor increases cost. of living and thus tends to de- feat the end sought. The salaries vot- cd for the teachers for next year are such that there is no call on the part Of the teachers to share, in the pri- vations that fall heavily on many families whose. living expenses have to be met with the same pay ak be- | fore the years Of war.
 Returned soldiers with broken health. business activities stopped by | the recent wars. are some of the hsrdships resulting. A part of the community have been at as much cost in time and money in pre- | paration for life work as our teach CTS have. and yet have a smaller liv- ing wage, and are not joining In strikes that make for harder condi- tions for the community as A whole. Our teachers are in the line of do- | ing important work for good citizen ship and many of them must under. . Stdttu eCOiUIHiC pTODleHlS anu IL QOe. Inot seem possible that this second re quest for an increase can be unani

 to salary and in all wise plans fo doing this most important work O
 teaching, but this second request fo large addition looks too much lik an emphasis on money getting and i
 may be that such action on the par
 of the Teachers League will not hay

 It is sometimes in human nature [
 take an unrighteous advantae of

SUGGESTIONS FOR

FOR
 THE HOUSEWIFE
 Some form of salad should gc with any kind of hot chicken.
 A handful of chopped ham added to ory and appetizing.
 When the bottom of a cake is badly burned 1t may be grated off with a nutmeg grater
 Oranges and chopped nuts with let thce hearts and French dressing make an excellent salad.
 In baking lemon pies put the lemon juice in last and the mixture will d. ways thicken properly.
 If you have . plant that needs warmth, water it in the morning, wken the sun can warm the wet earth.
 As far as possible the houscwtrk should be run like q trsin--ofl sched- ule time. This is far easier than il looks.
 : When there is so much to do that the housekeeper doesn't know which way to turn the best thing to do is te rest for a few minutes. | A novel salad is a Danish enc, nnadt of herring and beets. An electric fiatiron in the house saves a great deal of coal.
 Beans will take the place of meai for two meals in each week.
 For large steamed buildings it il l best to use a tube shaped mold. Goldfish cakes are best made witi fresh boiled potatoes. ! Rolled shades Of printed chintz ar, best for the sun parlor. l Aprieots and prunes cooked to 1 gether are an agreeable change. l Use a three sided carpet needle-s straight one-for sewing on shoe but l tons

LAUNDRY HINTS

All small pieces of soap can be melt ed into useful soft soap which can be used in the laundry.
 If bluing is mixed with hot water before adding to rinse water the clothes will not be streaked even if the water is hard.
 Much of the drudgery is taken out of the ironing of white cotton and linen materials if the clothes are evenly dampened and the irons are clean and hot. Iron with the thread Fof the goods, preferably with the lengthwise threads, until thoroughly dry. Iron as large a space at one time as possible and iron first the parts which hang off the board when finished, and which would dry out quickly.
 When ironing a blouse or other gar ment With buttons on you can iron the hem under the buttons if you fold a Turkish towel and lay the garment on thi swith the buttons against the towel The buttons will sink into the soft fabric and you can easily iron over the backs and get the hems perfectly smooth. This is better than running the iron between the buttons and talk ing a chance on forcing them off. l Remember that strong soap har-

WOODEN SHOES

Whether this will prove generally true in regard to Ghocs or whether the announcement To the effect that the price of shoes sZll comeN down this spring has any thing to do with such a possibility Nill be revealed in time.
 It is perfectly evident that there is ho need of paying s15 or s30 for a pair of shoes. That you can do so " you SO desire and have the money there is no question, as well as pay The war tax in addition, but good looking and serviceable shoes can be nan for much less money as inquiry sEiu show ana 1t is these lower priced shoes upon which the reduction in prfce can be expected.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY

For soft corns-Use campl1or Or spirits of turpentine on absorbent cot ton placed between the toes.
 The older womans skin is almost always dry and needs to be nour- ished by some really effective skin food. The best medium, of course, is cold cream, but this should not be the cheapest grade of cream which contains nothing but mineral oil The older woman should use cold cream made with olive of almond oil, which is absorbed by the skin and which is really beneficial to it.
 The child who is brought up in such a way that he is sensitive to slight changes in temperature is bound to suffer from it sooner or later.

 to know how to shampoo it. Very

 be avoided. In fact, if the hair ts

Un- less the church shall get to the hearts of men and see that they are cleansed from sin and washed and made white in the blood of the Lamb. it were far better to have universal military training and keep in readiness great arfnaments for another war more bloody than any the world has witt messed.
 A world wide democracy will not prevent war. only world wide Chris- tianity can do that. Now is the time for the church to take up her original task of preaching repentance toward Gcd and faith in Jesus Christ.
