KEROSENE EMULSION.

The most reliable remedy with which to combat all sucking insects, such as plant lice, soft bodied insects, hard-shelled varieties of which the scale is most generally seen, and many others, is kerosene emulsion" You can make this at home in the kitchen, one-quarter pound of melted whale oil soap, one pint of ordinary soft soap and two quarts of water. Mix the melted soap and water together, have the water boiling When lukewarn stir it vigorously into the kerosene Keep up the padding or stirring at least ten minutes; this is quite neces- sary to get a real mixture which completed, will be of the consistency of thick cream.
 This emulsion will keep indefinitely and for soft bodied insects should be diluted with twenty parts of lukewarn water. Apply this to all foliage, witt a sprayer, being careful that it reaches the under surface of the leaves, as this is the favorite habitat of all if- 1 sects. You will probably have tt make more than one application.

NOT NORTH THE EXPENSE.

When the department of justice de- clares that there will be no> further ef- forts made under the fair-price com mittees after the first of November to bring down prices it will be recognized as decision that might just as we'll have been made months ago, for quite as much as it is claimed that the price dropping will continue under it's own momentum it wiF be felt that such ef- forts as the department has made have had little to do with the downward movement. Surely those who have started in on reductions do not attribute it to being forced or to being urged by the departments workers.
 Sugar which began to rise abnormal ly after the sanctioning of the high price for the Louisiana crop, hasn't been guided by fair price efforts. The cut in clothing prices like cuts in other goods has been influenced to large de- l gree by the refusal of those who buy to pay the prices demanded, the determi- nation to wear old or other clothes until
 conditions improved and the consequent
 result that there was a falling off ir
 orders.
 For all that the department has done
 in bringing down prices the money might just as well have been saved from the start. This likewise seems tc
 be the view of the department also fol
 it now justifies it's course by expressing the belief that what has been started will continue without it's assistance. l lis therefore well that no greater outlay l is going to be made in useless effort although 1t will be difficult to convinc, some that as long as it was necessar! for the department to undertake this i'm portant work it ought not to abandon
 it while there are so many ways il which prices haven't as yet been mad Ito even approach the toboggan. The de lhartment, however, plainly indicate
 that further efforts by it would not b
 worth the sum it would cost

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

Buttermilk is an old fashioned bleach, so is lemon juice, which you must dilute. Use it twice day and let it stay on the face awhile before washing it off with cold water.
 A simple way to dispose of su- perf1uous hair is to cover it with par affin heated slightly When it cools pull it off and the hair will come with it, though here again it is well to let the oil remain till the skin is softened.
 Paint the corn or callous every night for a week or 10 days with a solution of 20 grains of salicylic acid in half an ounce of flexible collodion It is better to give the foot a hot soaking first and then dry it thoroughly before applying the solution.
 Shampoo your hair regularly and keep it soft and fluffy; keep your nails manicured and your skin clean and free from blemishes. Dress your hair becomingly, use powder and rouge with discretion, and, above all do not worry fret and fume over trifles Whether your hair is light or dark you will find the following home made shampoo invaluable for cleansing and for food properties: One egg yolk (beaten); borax, one ounce; lemon juice one teaspoonful; alcohol. one ounce; castle soap, one cake. Melt al together in a double boiler and quart Of hot water. This quantity will be sufficient to last for several shampoo i ing rites.

British mines will therefore be a hard therefore the people but to sH those who are dependent upon British mines for coal
 Without coal it is not going to be possible to do much of snything after Q certain time. Millions will be thrown out of employment by tho strike direct ly and much greater number will be made idle because it will be Impossible to operate the plants upon which they depend for living without coal The vote of the miners, however, vas in fla vor of strike by heavy majority re- gaHiless of advice to the contrary and efforts which have been made to avoid it.
 It was not so long ago that there was Ia strike on the British railroads. Whether an attempt will be made to handle the coal situation in the manner in which that was remains to be seen but that strike brought forth such gen eral opposition that there was little diff ficulty in getting sufficient new help to soon restore the service.
 In view of efforts which have been made to adjust the differences, the ad- burden that is going to be placed upon
 the people, there appears to be little ground for getting public sympathy and without that the strikers will be de- prived of powerful assistant. The 1 premier faces no easy task in handling l the situation.

SUGGESTIONS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE


 A small safety pin on the end of a ribbon will serve instead of a bodkin.
 Clean wood ashes make a cheap and excellent cleanser, even for milk pans.
 Pastry should be rolled lightly that the air may not be pressed out of it.
 Immature meat, such as veal, lamb and pork, should be thoroughly cooked.
 Wilted celery can be crisped by standing in water with little lemon juice in it.
 Babys underwear should be ironed on the wrong side as well as on the right.
 Powdered orris root under the iron ing blanket will perfume muslins pn-
 To clean zinc wash thoroughly with hot soda water and then rub it with a flannel dipped in turpentine.
 When mixing raisin bread add the raisins after the flour has been put into the liquid. Trimmings of rib roast and steaks should be saved, rendered and used in- stead of cooking butter. When using pink rhubarb for Thu barb sherbet do not skin it. The des- sert will be a beautiful color. Orange for marmalade may be made to go further by adding one apple fol every orange to the mixture. Separate and wash lettuce as soor as you purchase it. Put in a clean bas on ice to crisp until needed. If layer cakes get hard and stale | they have probably been baked tot | long; twenty minutes in a hot oven ii l enough.
 A little smoked halibut cut very thin | and served with thin slices of breat and butter is good for a light evenin, 1 meal

BRANDEGEE ON CHILD LABOR.


 The sort of injustice to which Sena- tor Brandegee is being subjected in the present campaign is well illustrated by the claims that are being made to the effect that he opposed the child labor law. The inference to be gained from this and the impression that it is de- sired should be gained is that he is op- posed to legislation against child la bor
 such could not be farther from the fact and his action upon the federal child labor bill does not support any such contention. Senator Brandegee was numbered among those who op- posed the bill but his opposition was due to the fact that legislation was being attempted that was against the Consti- tuition of the United States. It may be possible to get the impression that be- cause he opposed the Dill that he fa- vorsd child labor, but it is to be real ized that it was the legislation and not the object which it sought to attain that he opposed.
 Having by his oath as a senator sworn to uphold the Constitution and Believing that the proposed law was in violation Of the provisions of the Con- stitution. there was nothing else for hin to do but to oppose the bill, and it is tc he noted in this connection that the stand he took in regard to the constitu- -tionalty of the bill was justified by the - subsequent action of the United States supreme court in declaring the law un constitutional
 Senator Brandegee therefore did only what he was obligated to do. That can not by any twist of the imagination b, made to brand him as being in favor O child labor or against reforms needed in overcoming it. As long as there ar, -- constitutional provisions in law making credit must be given to those who re spect rather than to those who disre gard them.

RUNNING THE RAILROADS.

When Interstate Commerce Comrnis- sioner Wooley endeavors to compare the government operation Of the roads with their operation under private control he declares that under government opera tion for 8 period of 50 months the tax payers were obliged to pay $962, COG, ,000 while under private control for a period of six months the deficit the government will make up, if all the claims are al- lowed, will be $634 COG, 900.
 That such figures should be taken for comparison of government and private operation cannot be regarded as fair. With the roads under the control of the government it is realized that there was not the same amount expended for rolling stock and meeting new demands that there would have been under pri- yate operation. and that as the result of such condition for long period it has been necessary for the roads to make large outlays at once upon regaining control. in order to make it possible for them to handle the business It thus cannot fail to be realized that much of the deficit in the first six months of pri- vate operation should have been distrib- uted over the period of government op- eration.
 The government on taking over the roads did with them just what 1t had refused the owners to do, It disregard ed all organization and by the commits sioners' figures went into the hole to the tune of almost billion dollars even though government operation was under more favorable conditions than the pre-. vious private ownership After the re
 turn of the lines the two-thirds of 2
 billion deficit must be rightly regarded
 as 9 restoration expense for which nont other than the government can be helt
 responsible.

FLOWER DECORATIONS.

Here is an economical yet very pret- ty way of making a dozen carnations decorate as effectively as several dog en. Make a pyramid about ten inches high in the center of the table by set ting different sized bowls one within another, using tall, plain glass vase for the core of the pyramid. Fill all with water and entirely conceal the bowls and vase with such greenery as ferns, asparagus, plumosus, sInilax, ever green, two leafed Solomon's seal or privet to form a solid pyramid, then thrust a dozen pink or red carnations into it at various angles and the result will be quite charming Pink carna- tions are pretty in the daytime, while red ones glow attractively in the even ing when artificial light is used.

LAUNDRY HINTS

If you wish to dry clothes in a hurry, when it is raining hang them in the house and turn on the electric fan
 Before washing delicate tatting sew 1t on Turkish towel. It will thus keep it's shape and will prevent tearing and wear
 An easy way to sprinkle clothes is to dip whisk broom in water and shake over article to be sprinkled. Use hot water to sprinkle with when in haste to iron ,as it penetrates and dampens mora quickly.
 Linen should always be ironed length wise, thus obviating the danger of stretching. Colored linens should be pro- tected by a thin cloth or ironed on the wrong side to avoid fading by direct con tact with the hot iron.
 Rag rugs often have limpness after washing that makes them unwieldly and easily kicked up. A little starch added tt the last rinsing will help to give body and straightness to small rugs. Wiring the rug carefully and pin on line with plenty of pins. If the rug is folded with tho long edges together to wiring and hung or the line with the long edge pinned the rug will be straight and even when dry

FABRICS FOR AUTUMN

This autumn stiff glazed fabrics, such as taffeta, will be less worn, their places being taken by velvets and thick, soft crepe in silk or wool, more suitable for the wrapped ed-round ef- fects shown on many models. Soft, shaggy cloths are being used for coats, with finely woven serges and cash meres for walking dresses. Reversible materials, which do not require lining are highly practical and are used to give a combination of their plain and patterned sides. Bead work is seen on every type of garment, some of the evening gowns shown being composed of fringes of crystal tubes almost en- tirely covering the satin underslip of some contrasting color.
