TREATY ACTION AND NAVY.

Right in the midst of a policy of economy Secretary Daniels tried to drop depth bomb by declaring to a house committee that unless the treaty is ratified the navy of this country must be enlarged by the ad- dition of 69 more fighting ships at a cost of nearly $2O0. 900, 900. That is calculated to take the wind out of the sails of those who stand in the way of the ratification of the treaty with out the dotting of an "i' or the cross ing of ''t." It is urged at this time, much the same as it was some time ago with the idea Of putting through the treaty, and Secretary Daniels stands of course like a stonewan be- hind the president.
 We haven't stopped the construc- tion of warships even though there was prospect Of ratifying the trea- ty, and we will not stop if the docu- ment is approved. Nations that arc | already in the league are still build ing warsbips and will continue to They might do more if there were nc treaty and no league.
 It cannot be overlooked in connec. tlon with the statement of the secre- i tary of the navy that the final retec. tion of the treaty, and that of courst means the treaty as the presiden wants it, would make it absolutely l necessary for us to build ''lnconpar
 ably the greatest navy in the world | It IS useless to throw. that dust il
 our eyes for it is perfectly eviden
 that even greater protection for thi | country can be secured by the adop
 tion of the treaty with reservation instead of in the form that the presi
 dent has demanded. Therefore in
 stead of laying stress upon this poin
 before house committee it woul
 be wiser if he would spend his tim in talking with the president or eve some of those democratic senator
 who are unwilling to act unless tn l president pulls the string.

KEEP SINK CLEAN.

Every day remove all particles of food with a sink brush and sink shovel. Wash the sink with hot soapy water and scrub it with sink scrubbing brush and securing soap. Clean behind sink pipes with a wood en skewer. Rinse the sink with clear, hot water and wipe the woodwork.
 Be sure that the edges and outsides of the sink are perfectly clean. Ere quently flush the sink by pouring boiling water down the sink pipe. Once a month use a solution of caus- tic soda and boiling water to clean greases from the sink pipe. Iron sinks should be wiped dry and rub bed over with an old cloth that has been sprinkled with kerosene oil
 All sinks should have boiling water in which a little soda has been dis solved poured, down them at least once a fortnight. If done regularly this will entirely prevent any un- pleasant odor arising from them.

PRESIDE FURNISHINGS.

One of the incest things about an open fireplace is the number of pie turesque ''fxin's" that go with it. Andirons alone are worth their weight in gold, instead of iron or brass, be- cause of the. atmosphere they lend to the glowing fire behind them. The fire irons-poker, shovel and tongs- some small and shiny, others in tall lengths of wrought iron, for hand ling big logs. furnish the fireplace pleasantly, and so do the old hobs, trivets, spits, bellows and toaS<ing forks and the Cape Cod lighter.
 But one of the handiest and most decorative pieces of freside furnish often seen, is the screen that shuts the blaze away from the face when the fire is trife too hot .or stands between the dancing flames and ones eyes when one is reading.
 These fire screens may be small, or they may be low square affairs, arranged to shut the heat away from the whole body at times. Both kinds are convenient to have within easy reach when the family life centers about the chimney. The small screen mounted on a standard of iron, may have it's barried shield shaped, or oval or oblong.
 Some antique ones have the screen
 made of a piece of copper or brass i with a design pierced on in small 1 holes Decorated leather makes a l good screen, and a light protection If 1 given by piece of silk in close folds
 Tn fact, almost any fabric Or materla 1 is suitable and the more novel and
 unusual it is the more interesting f will be. A piece of heavy vellum
 with design in color painted on it
 becomes transformed when the fir' light shines drought 1t.

 and decorated by hand (even inciud ing the pierced copper) and fitted int

 The different views or smoking by women which women take show that they are as much unlike as men. Alice Stone Blackwell says that ,t is a bad habit, little worse for women than for men. The'wife Of Bostons Mayor Peters thinks that women have a right to smoke If they want to. Amy Lowell says she has no interest in such ex- | traneous questions, which we take is
 not in the least critical or intoler- ant mood. Whether they smoke or not is not an important thing to think about. We suspect that Miss Lowell would smoke if she wanted to and let others do as they please.--Waterbury | American.

TO CLEAN TILES.

Glazed tiles in fireplace are best cleaned with a dampened flannel. Til el bath floors are best cleaned with soft soap dissolved in tepid water. Sand and water rubbed on brickly will sometimes remove stains or mil dew. A stone mantel-piece should be rubbed with sand (beach is good). If it is very smutty or stained, soap and soda may be used in addition to the sand and water

 Common waxed paper will answer as bread broad. If you do not have the kind that comes in rolls, use what you take off the bakers bread. After using the paper can be thrown away. and there is no bread board to clean up.

GLOVE LORE.

Nothing looks worse than shabby gloves and as they are expensive arti- cles in dress, they require little management. A good glove will, with care, outlast three cheap ones. Do not wear your best gloves at night. The heat or the gas, etc, gives 8 mols- tue to the hands that spells the gloves; do not wear them III very wet weather, as carrying umbrellas and drops of rain spoil them.

PRESERVE BINDINGS,

Teach the children early how to Timber up the bindings of their new books. Don't let them crack the binding open, to the ruin of the back. Rest the book back down on a table and, holding the body of the leaves firm, open first page or two at the front, then a few at the back and so on till the volume lies easily open to the centre. A book put into commits sion in the seientifiv fashion has a fair chance of long life.

INCOME TAX FACTS
 YOU SHOULD KNOW

The income tax law allows a per son, in figuring his 1919 net income. to take credit for contributions made during that year to organizations con ducting charitable, scientific, educa- tional, and religious work; to societies for the prevention of cruelty to chil- dren or animals; also to the special fund authorized by the vocational re- habi1itatios act.
 Before claiming any deduction under this provision of the law a taxpayer should carefully consider what is allowable. There should be no guess work or estimates or setting down 8 lump sum, but the taxpayer should show only the contributions as he made them and as he can substantiate them. Care should be taken that amounts giren to individuals are not included and that the deduction is con- fined strictly to donations during the year to organizations operated with 6ut benefit to the persons behind the movement. For instance, a gift made to a hospital which may bring profit to the persons interested in the insti. tuition would not be a deductible item
 All donations to churches are de- ductible, including those for mis- sionary funds, church building funds, pew rents, and church assessments and church dues.
 Political Contributions
 The taxpayer should be careful te omit any clS-m for contributions tc funds gathered for propaganda and po- litieal purposes. The allowable deduc- tions are definitely limited by law ts organizations operated exclusively fol

Stories That Recall Others.
Almost Insu!ted.

Among the lace bargains the other day a shopper engrossed in thought set her Japanese spaniel on the coun- ter. One of the salesgirls, not see ing the little dog threw remnant lace over him and entirely submerged him. When the woman went to look for her pet he was not to be found until he\had emitted a couple of yelps. He was quickly rescued and after showering him with kissees the woman said: Did they cover precious with cheap 50 cent lace?"
 The salesgirl who had evidenly cul- tivated diplomacy assured the dog $ mistress that the lace had been re- duced from s1 to so cents. and the woman took her pet away modified.

Largest statue in world

What is to be largest statue in the world is being built by an army of Japanese wQrkmen on the isle of the Cows Head in the Inland sea, which has been called the Mediterranean of Japan. The isle of the Cows Head is private property and this adornment is work of private enterprise
 The figure will be that of St Nichi- ren. who founded the sect of Buddhism that bears his name. In the wooden model the saint lies asleep, facing who ever sees, him. his head pillowed on a block and his left arm extended along his side. The trees and scenery of the isle of the Cows Head will provide an excellent sitting for the enormous stat ue, that is to be cut out of the solid rock from this model
 The Colossus of Rhodes, at one time one of the seven wonders of the world, is said to have been 120 feet high a small thing compared with the statue of Liberty, that stands 151 feet above the pedestal in New York harbor But the Japanese statue will be of even greater magnitude. Following the line of the natural rock it will be a reciin- ing figure of 240 feet long, and there fore that much more impressive than the Budha at Pegu. Burma which meas ures 1S2 feet from head to foot
