HEALTH AND BEATTY.

Hot water smoothes out the tired lines and rests the muscles of your face. Noth- ing is more refreshing when making your evening toilet than good hot water face wash. Frequently a hot tub bath will brace you up if you feel fatigued and give you refreshed appearance.
 The way to test whether or not a cold bath agrees with you is to see whether or not it is promptly followed by a heaIthful glow of your skin. WhA there is no convenience for a daily plunge bath it is quite possible, though not 50 refreshing, to obtain much benefit from a basin or a foot tub of water and a vigorous sponging.
 For dandruff get salicylic acid 20 grains, precipitated sulphur one dram ointment of rose water one ounce. Ap- ply to scalp on tips of fingers, parting the hair here and there and rubbing the ointment in without snearing it over the hair.

demonstrated that 1t is not seeking tol acquire territory by conquest. Aside from it's own protection it's purpose in connection with the Monroe doctrine is now and has been from the first altruis- tic It believes that the republics in the new world should have the assurance of this larger nation that it will stand by them in defense of their sovereignty, and it takes this stand not for the oft i'm pl . purpose ef tszasasszSe. but to safeguard them against European inter ference.
 That thers is opportunity for allaying unjust suspicious cannot be questioned.

There is need for a thorough understanding among the countries on these two continents for the benefit of all concerned and that can be secured in no better way than by first eliminating i groundless fears.

CARRANZA's END.

Carranza came into prominence through a revolution in which he par ticipated and his career ends as the re- suit of revolution directed against his government. Overthrow and assassira- tion have figured prominently in the case of the last several Mexican presidents and regardless of whatever efforts Car ranza may have considered he had taken to avoid such in his own case they were futile.
 Carranza's stand as a constitutional lst was looked upon with great hopes in Mexico. His regime opened with prom lse and much was expected of it. Even this government was led into recognizine it and as the result prompting recogni- tion on the part of others, but seemingly no sooner was this advantage secured than the Carranza government began tc show it's true character for instead of rultivating the friendship of those anx. ious and willing to help it, it apparently sought to strengthen it's support at home by displaying open antagonism to the United States disregarding it's obliga- tions and failing 10 protect the lives ant property rights of Americans. Thus re. gardless of whatever good ideas he may aave had for improving conditions 1T Mexico he was as willing to go as far ir he other direction as to completely up set them, and in such action there Wa! manifested a stubbornness that was ar outstanding feature of his career.
 Reports show a conflict regarding tbt manner in which Carranza met death the first being that he was killed in bat tle while the second has it that he wa, assassinated by his own follower. Those leading the revolution had promised hin protection if he would surrender, bavin, In mind undoubtedly the attitude of thi country against the changing of gov ernment heads by assassination. Thus i Is for the interest of Obregon and other If such is the fact to have it made clea that the revolutionary forces had noth Ing whatever to do with the killing o Carranza. Thus there is apparently som recognition in Mexico of the need O standing for better methods in changin governments

AN EXCELLENT SERVICE.

Much has been said from first to last regarding the Monroe doctrine. It has of late been brought into increased prominence by the discussion that has risen concerning it, following the debate over the league of nations But there appears to be an excellent service per formed by Senator Travieso of Porto Rico and at one time temporary govern or of the island in the tour that he is making of South America speaking in behalf of the doctrine with the idea of allaying the fears of Latin-Americans.
 Strange as it may seem there are those in the western hemisphere who insist upon maintaining that under the Monroe doctrine this country is endeavoring to get control that it should not have and trying to direct matters which should rest with the other countries to look out for themselves.
 It is pretty evident from the history of this country that it has not imperialistie ambitions, and 1t has pretty conclusively

HELP RAISE FOOD.

An appeal that is certainly most time ly is that which has been issued by Governor Coolidge of Massachusetts in which he urges the people of that state to give due consideration to the threat ened food shortage and to do their ut- most to prevent it by the concerted ac- tion of home gardeners.
 From the conditions in that state he finds that .the farmers are not obstruct- ing production. They are disposed to do their best but there is a limit under the handicap of the labor shortage and it is recognized that they cannot accomplish the impossible.
 It is important therefore that there should be help given by those who ar4 in position to do so. In order to get the benefit of pupils in the public schools whose services can be used on the farms Governor Coolidge has appealed to the legislature for an appropriation of s7,50t to establish camps and to supervise and distribute students for such farm em- ployment-
 New England never raises all that il can in order to serve its own require ments The normal farm production is seriously threatened this year because It is next to impossible to get help. This Is no different from last year except tha it is worse. It is important therefore that the acreage that the farmers car till be supplemented by every possible | acre that others possessing garde1 patches can cultivate. The good worl that was done during the war in thus in creasing the production of foodstuff. needs to be continued and this time fol the purpose of insuring sufficient sup l ply for our own requirements Even though the war is over condi tions continue to be abnormal The wa, to meet the situation is to offset tn, shortage of labor on the farms by tn, utilization of the spare time which cal be given to such work for short period by the millions otherwise employed. Tn appeal made in Massachusetts to rais all food possible is just as pertinent ii Connecticut.

SNAP SHOTS OF
 G. 0. r. CONVENTIONS By 4. H. VANDENBERG Copyrighted by G. M. Adams Service
Sixth Convention

The sixth republican national conven- tion was the first to do the really un- expected thing. When it assembled in Cincinnati, June 14, 1S76-centennial year-three great republican leaders stood out beyond the crowd. They were James G. Blaine of Maine, who had but recent ly vindicated himself from the insinua- tions of corruption in the infamous "Mul- ligan Letters" episode, and whose name was presented to the convention by Rob- ert G. Ingersoll in an oratorical gem which will live as long as jewels of speech are cherished Roscoe Conkling of ecw York. one of the ablest debaters of all time, but arrogant and unapproachable and utterly lacking in personal populari- ty; and Oliver P. Morton, Indiana's great and splendid war governor. There were other candidates, largely of the so-called "favorite son" type although Benjamin H. Bristow of Ken lucky was sufficiently formidable to muster 113 votes on the first ballot. Six roll calls failed to name choice, although Blaine led all the way by wide margin. On the sixth ballot, he had sos votes Bristow, 111,; Conkling, S1; Hart ranft of Pennsylvania, 50 Hayes of | Ohio, 113; Morton, S5 washburne of H. linois, 4 Wheeler of New York, 2. |
 ed against Blaine-that being Conklings chief political aim in the convention and a coalition of 3S4 votes nominated
 Rutherford B. Hayes, with results that all | but led to civil war ere he reached the White House by a majority of one in the electoral college. William A. Wheel
 CT was nominated for vice president by exclamation.
 The platform declared "the United States of America Is nation, not a league" demanded the courageous en. forcement of the new Constitutions
 amendments, attacked polygamy, charged democracy with still being the same il
 character as when it sympathized witt
 treason and reiterated practically ev
 erything that had been promulgated fou
 years previously.
 The convention of this year abolished
 the "unit rule" of voting-so that delegate might be free to vote as an indi
 Vidual, instead of being bound by ma ijority of his state.

Lincoln was assassinated, and the event inspired one of Garfeld's most memorable and elo- quent speeches. The great city was dazed and trembling from the shock. when a meeting was held in Wall Street for the purpose of calming and steadying the people.

THE KNOX RESOLUTION.

Now that the Knox peace treaty as passed by the senate has been accepted by the house in place of the peace reso- lution that it previously adopted its fate rests with the president. That there will be a prompt veto is foreseen. Just what the president will say in refusing to sign it is of course not known. He will probably take occasion to refer to this as an entirely wrong method of attempting to obtain peace. He is likely to use this opportunity for again referring to the necessity of ratifying the treaty which he sent himself to Europe to ne- Eotiate and which he brought back from Paris He will undoubtedly emphasize again our obligations to the European nations as being greater than our duty to ourselves, and of course he will say that this resolution is only a makeshift that it doesn't accomplish all that it should and that nothing like it has been done before.
 Now it is pretty well understood that there are many who would prefer to have peace made in a different way They have in fact urged that it be done by means of a treaty and for months have given support to that very effort and believing in doing so that the best interests of this country should be care fully ssfeguarded.
 IL is, however, because of the inability 10 get such a treaty ratified, due to tht insistence upon the part of the presi dent that no reservations be made to thu treaty which do not bear his mark O approval that the plan of meeting tn, demand for the technical ending of tn, war and the release of the country iron the restraint of war restrictions and leg islation was resorted.
 There is none of those who have spon sored or supported the peace by reso lution plan who considers it preferabl to a treaty. It's shortcomings are rec ognized, but the country wants peac without string. and being denied it i the usual way it is only proper that should be attempted in the unusual way It is the interest of the many, not tn will of a few, that is being urged in tn peace resolution, and while the veto C the president is anticipated because interferes with his personal ideas it not to be forgotten that this method resorted to simply because he believe the one man policy should be followe in our treaty making even though tn constitution says that our treaties sha be made by the president by and wit he consent of the senate.

 Senate.
 James Abram Garfield was the latest, it is fairly safe to say the last of the presidents born and bred in log cabins. Notwithstanding that humble start he was one of the half-dozen scholarly men who have set in the presidential chair.
 Both the papternal Garfelds and the maternal Ballous, the forbears of this Ohio president, were New Englanders and. among the best types of Yankee yeomanry. His struggling, laborious youth and young manhood made Gar field also representative of that great cl 1NeW EHSldnQ WHICH spread llSeI ONcE the upper half of the Middle West.
 When the boy-was only ?, his pioneer father died fighting a forest fire, leaving -four young saplings," as he called them, to the care of his wife, who had to carry on the frontier farm alone and face alone the problems of bringing up her two boys and two girls. With the help of older son in the field and of her older daughter in the cabin, she raised the food for her little brood and grew and wove and sewed the wool that clothed them. More than that, she was their teacher, toe, cultivating their young minds and training up their characters. Among all the widows sons in the presidency, none owed more to his mother than the son of Eliza Ballou Garfield, and none be- gan earlier to pay his debt, nor kept on paying it more faithfully and gracefully. A big strong, hardy bayq "Jihn" Gar field had to work his way in the world | from the age of 10 or F. Chopping | wood at 25 cents cord and his board driving mules on the towpath of canal or serving as deckhand on the boat itself | at, S10 a month and keep having, har- vesting, carpentering and teaching school he put himself through academies and through college
 He also won a wife along the way In a coeducational academy, which he attended, he met and wooed Lucretia Ru- dolph. After his college graduation al Williams. he faithfully returned to claim his Crete" and their marriage is tho frst-doubtless it will not be the last | romance of "coeds" in the matrimonial story of the presidency.
 | In his preparatory school, which after. ward became Hiram College, Garfield was janitor at first, until it was dis covered that he could teach the othel pupils English literature just as well c: he could ten the gres, lraw the water sweep the floors, wash the windows an6 ring the bell.

BLEACHING LINEN.

Linen which has become an ugly shade owing to bad washing can be improved by bleaching. Soak the clothes for 24 hours in water in which tablespoon of borax to every gallon has been dissolved. Then wash them thoroughly in hot water. Wiring out, place in the boiler, cover with cold water, add a pound of soap cut in shreds to every four gallons, a handful of soda and tablespoon of cloudy am- monia or turpentine. Bring slowly to the boil and leave for about 15 minutes. Do not put too many things in at once, as the articles must have sufficient room to toss about. Turn them into a tub, cover them with the water in which they were boiled and leave them to cool. Wiring the water slightly from them and spread in the sun or hang up to dry. Sprinkle from time to time with water as they dry. When a good color is obtained rinse in several tepid waters, blue them and dry again.

LAUNDRY NOTES.

A teaspoon of vinegar added to the last rinsing water will keep white silk from getting yellow. Use a teaspoon to sew eral quarts of water the acid will not be strong enough to crack the silk.
 Turn garments wrongside out before starching and starch first those things in which the most stiffness is desired, as water from the garments thins the starch. Freezing and wind both take the starch out of clothes.
 For silks, woolens and co1ored mate rfals use iuke-warm water with nc change of temperature between the wash ing and rinsing. A soap solution is much better than soap rubbed on the fabric. Use a kHeading motion witt these materials rather than rubbing. Silks should De put through a wringer witf very loose rollers.
 silk stockings are often spoiled in thu washing. They should be first soak ed in bofax water and then washed il soapy water that is only ukewarn. Ho water makes silk harsh and crinkly Never wiring silk stockings, but squeez' them out and then rinse in two waters 0
 the same temperature. A little bluini should De added to the water if the stock
 ings are white, but not for eolored stock
 ings.
 Soft water is necessary for eas. laundry work Soften either by boilin or by chemicals carefully measured an thoroughly dissolved in the wash wate before putting in the clothes. To eac gallon of water add one-haf tablespoo | of washing soda, or one teaspoon c l lye for ordinary white cotton and line materials and one tablespoon of bora | for other fabrics.

DANGERS FROM MILK.

When baby's bottle has been washed it looks perfectly clean. Nevertheless around the edge of the bottle (inside) a little residue of milk remains. If water be put into the receptacle and shaken about twenty four hours later micros- copic examination will show it to be full of bacteria.
 If new milk be put into the bottle thus inperfectly cleansed there is always a bacterial culture present to infect it, the germs rapidly multiplying in the fresh supply
 To get rid of this danger it is we'll to boil the bottle a few minutes and then allow 1t to cool before reflling with milk.
