HEALTH AND BEAUTY

A room that is overdeeorated and hung with heavy draperies is bad for health. A bedroom should have plenty of windows and they should be kept open during the night.
 Are the tips of your fingers nicely tapered? You'll want them so and you can make them so. Every day when you finish touching up your nails, with the fingers of one hand pinch the tips .>f the fingers of the Othera hand. Work with them thus for ten or minutes. Youll soon notice a change.
 Never give a bay who has had mo- thing but the breast from birth plain cows milk or even that milk which a bottle fed baby of the same age might take for it would almost be certain to cause indigestion. The change in the food it a marked one, and should
 be made gradually by beginning with a weak milk and increasing it's strength as the baby becomes accustomed to the cows milk.
 By all means get a feeding spoon for baby as soon as he can sit up and hold one. You will be surprised how soon he will take hold and feed himself and is I a great help to busy mother. A food i pusher goes with these spoons but l isn't necessary. If a deep soup plate 1 is used to put baby's food in, the sides ] of the dish afford protection from food being pushed off Soup plates are han 1 dy and save the eNpen SC of regular 1 baby plate.

PANELEp MODE FOR NEeLIeEE

In the negligees recently shown there seems to be a great inclination to pose one fabric over another, the outer garment being in coat effect, and also to show the informal or intime own in slipover types which simu- late the popular effects in the~simple crepe frocks. They are designed in rich fabrics such as jacquards. velVe;s broeaded chiffons and velvets.
 Tn one of the recent displays there have been some original types of tea gowns which have been imported from the French. One of these is a MOyen Age gown in long lines with panels from the shoulder, which give the ef- feet of long flowing sleeves weighted with deep band of kolinsky which also bordered the gown itself. In the same display self color marabou trims draped effect of rose color in full collar and sleeve effect and purple marabou trims a more slender draping of crepe satin in the same color.
 A model of entirely different type but much more formal in genre is of black with bloused bodice effect Egyp- tian embroideries used as color treat ment at the front
 Another collection includes informal pajama sets imported and handmade oi flesh color crepe with detail of hand work and fagoting as a finish.

was made plain that such plan was nothing which this government could endorse. It was declared that there was no obstacle to those in this country selling goods to Russia or buying goods therefrom but government con- ditions there were such that this govern ment could not stand back of any such activities.
 Government investigations had dis closed what the situation was over there so when Secretary Hughes de- clared in response to the appeals for such an agreement that soviet Russia instead of being a storehouse of treas ures was only an economic vacuum which promised to remain just that un- der the present government it ended efforts in behalf of trade agreements There was no doubt as the accuracy of the opinion thus given, but how correct 1t was is well disclosed by the decla- ration of the British chancellor of the exchequer in warning against sending goods to Russia since Russia has noth- ing to pay with or to sell and such ex- porting can only be regarded as mak- ing gifts to them. The former picture of Russia has faded and is now being seen in it's true colors.

THE RAILROAD MEMS PLAN.

Tho plans of the railroad men to naNgursie @ strike the last of this month that vii spread throughout the country will by no means create sym 'athy or public support. Regardless of he existing conditions. with efforts be- Ing made 10 relieve the large annount N unemployment, there is not only g determination to make matters worse but 10 create all kinds of trouble with ia the power of their action for the re- nainder of the country.
 There is every reason why the eu- p'ovc 0f the railroad should be prop- erly treated but if We have gotten to the point where the country is told that this or that must be done for a certain c.aes. regardless of the facts in the case Of justice. it. is perhaps as well that there should be 6 show down now ae at any time.
 Tn connection with the readiustment th1t Is taking place after the war there is a demand for a cutting of the transportation rates. Beginning with tho first of July there was a cut in the wages Of railroad employees Since that time there has been evidence tha the roads were feeling the benefit of Inc relief but not enough to give then such a return as they are entitled tt o- 70 make # possible for them tC stands the cutting of their revenue.
 Reduced rates would in all proba hiiity bring relief in the way of pres s7t day prices.

 A version of the Jenny frock with side rtiffle, seen on well-dresSed shopper, was in navy worsted, woven with bayadere stripes of white hair lines, about an inch apart. The long ruffle, from shoulder to lower part of skirt, was of gray.
 The recent chilly days brough furs into prominence in and around town. Many fur trimmed dresses and an oe casiona1 fur trimmed coat was noted to say nothing of a number of capes collared in fur caracul registering the
 most often in use.
 Long earrings are worn by an in- creasing number of women with eve ming or dinner gowns and are being worn on sthe stage by several of our best-dressed actresses. Jade, jet, coral ad lapis lazuli are frequent. A black boardcloth dress with hip length cape to match was seen in a recent matinee audience. The tight l bodice had a fitted collar and fasten ed down the side with white rimmed jet buttons the circular si1irt embroid- : cred in black and white and the cape | berdered with narrow band Of the l same.

TIE SIZE OF TIE HorsF.

Urcomfartably close but none the less certain was the decision of the lower house of congress against changing thc membership of that body because of the situation which had been disclosed by tho recent census. It was not the first time adverse criti- -.sn had been heard concerning the proposition but it is 10 be hoped that it win mean the end of it.
 Congress as it is ct present made u0 is large enough. The lower house has grown until the size alone has made it more dificut in the handling 7t legislation. To think of increasing i- 's to rian 10 make matters worse in direction where there should be no Thought Of such thing
 The country has of course grown in ile ras- ten years. There are states which have made tremendous gains. hHt in number of instances those gains were directly due to the war and there 's serious doubt that 9 cen sus today would show anywhere near Enc conditions found when the census Vee taken
 Increasing the members Of the house would by no means increase it's effic- s-cv. and the demand today isn't for - larger body but for better and ~o-s speedy handling of the business before it
 When a legislative body gets to be l0wla5y it Is plainly evident that the practice Of increasing the membership every time there is a new census has 71-liv-f its desirability. It is not con- iruu-'nr 70 the We fare of the country Or tho best interests of congress. h. Stead Of adding to the handicap in that body there is good and sufficient req. F'n for csl'iug 3 halt.
 This is apparently the sentiment Lat prevails in the house itself, for while t may be recognized that there ray be iniustices now. the sentiment ts expressed on two occasions is thaf fa house membership should not bt ,gauees. Likewise it is to be remem rs-ed that a considerable financial say Ing will also he effected if no increas permitted.

 Mellie remained with the army until the close of the war, giving good service as a nurse for the sick and wounded. When the army disbanded she returned with her husband to Car isle, where shortly after the latter died and was buried.
 Mollie's subsequent life was not a happy one. Unfortunately she did not remain a widow very long, but mar ried one John Mckolly, d worthless fellow, who had been an army com

 ten years of her death this heroine oi Monmouth eked out a scanty liveh- hood by serving as a nurse for ehil-

SUGGESTIONS FOR
THE HOUSEWIFE E

THE HOUSEWIFE
 The zinc lined sink is the most prac- tical and sanitary.
 When bilious take plenty of orange and lemon juice.
 Brooms will keep soft and pliant # hung in the cellarway.
 In summer remove window curtains and use only shades.
 A drop of oil will follow a pin pune ture in fresh nutmeg.
 Clean white enameIed woodwork with whiting on a moist cloth.
 Empty lard cans are excellent for packing eggs in water glass.
 A preserve made of strawberry, pineapple and rhubarb is delicious.
 Thorough greasins with lard pre- vents the cork of the mucilage bot tie from sticking.
 A little lemon imp roves pineapple preserve. Chopped pimentos are delicious il, jellied veal loaf. When you cream butter and sugar for a cake little cold water will make the creaming easier. Tomatoes may be stuffed with chop ped onions, tomato pulp and bread crumbs and baked.
 Twist up all pieces of waste paper and stuff into grocery cartons-they 1 will do splendidly for a brief fire. A pretty pair of curtains for the pink 1 bedroom may be made of white dimity hernstitched and picot-edged in pink If small son or daughter. gets chew 1 ing gum on the best frock or suit l simply go over the gum with gasoline 1 It will crun1ble and can be brushed off

KNox,s SUCCESSOR.

With the passing of big man, es- peciahy if he died while holding office, there is always a question as to his successor. The death of Senator Phil ander c. Knox of Pennsylvania re-
 cal lights as well as one of it's repre- sentatives in the senate Naturally there is much concern as to the one who will be appointed to fill out his term.
 Governor Sproul, who was numbered among those who were candidates for presidential honors at the republican convention, has tho power of appoint ment. It IS also well known that he has ambitions in that direction himself aE1 would like to don the senatorial toga. It would be possible for him to resign with the understanding that his appoint ment to the office would follow That would give him the much desired op- portunity of getting into the upper house of congress, but such @ possibility seems to be snuffed out by his state ment to the effect that no governor of the Keystone state ever established such a precedent and he is unwilling to do SO
 Senator Knox was from the western end of the state With Penrose repre- senting the eastern end it is quite nat Ural that the successor to Knox should be sought from the section he came from Thus for the vacancy the name of State Senator William E. Grove has been strongly advocated and it would appear that he meets the qualification as to ability as to the part of the state he comes from and as to sentiments tha
 are in accorl with Governor Sprouts The office of senator from Pennsylva
 mia is an important one and it is to b. realized that the responsibility of the governor in filling it is an irnportan
