AFTER CHEAPER Powrx

While efforts are being made in this country to bring about greater utiiiza- tion of the natural resources, from which great benefits ate anticipated, our neigh Dor to the north is not looking oh with out recognizing the benefits and noting where it can profit by resorting to sirf,i- far methods.

FRANKLIN AND THRIFT.

More attention is bound to be paid to the birthday anniversary of Benjamin Franklin. which falls today. Jan. IT, through the movement that makes it a dominant feature of thrift week through out the country. Franklin as one of the country's great men stands out promi- nently as one who not only advocated thrift buk practiced 1t and thereby set an example of which full Use is bound to be made during the present week.
 Within the past few years fn6re than the usual effoft has been made in tehalt of thrift. There have beah conditions which have called for it and, the people have had the necessity of practicing il brought home in a new light. But as conditions change the value of it rahflo be disregarded There are softe 1& al who are able to better appreciate he les sons of thrift that were taught during the war than they were at the time This Is true particularly of those wht chose to disregard the advice and wn, spent their big wages as easily ant quickly as they got them, and througl failure to put any of 1t aside for dul period now appreciate the golden advic which they refused to heed.
 The effort in behalf of thrift isn't in tended for the purpose of hoard;nI wealth. The idea is to see that waste i eliminated, that needs are met in feas enable rather than lavish manner an that each one should fortify kimsel against an uncertain future by larin aAde a part of the earhings instead 0 squandering them. For the part whic Franklin has played in setting the fin nortance of thrift before the nation 1t well that national thrift week should !n clude his anniversary.
 Thrift at this very season can well 5 applied by making good use Of the dol lars. With opportunities open for mak Ing them go much farther than the would at other times they should b seized, for it is to be refnefnbered th5 thrift can be displayed in spending 3 well as in other ways since it is tn thrifty spender who Is the saver.

LIQUOR ON HIGH SEAS.

It is an interesting proposition that has been placed before congress by the ~bill which has been presented making it pos sible for American passenger ships to sell liquor beyond the three mile limit.
 As at present applied the American steamships are held to be American prop erty wherever they are and that it is un- lawful under the Volstead act to sell li- quor upon them whether they are at their dock in this country, on the high seas or in foreign port. It is for over coming this ruling that the new legisla- tion is sought and in support of the bill 1t is maintained that unless such a meas rre of relief is enacted it will be inn possible for the American passenger ships to attempt to maintain competition with those of other countries.
 When it is said that American ships cannot sell liquor it means that they are heing discriminated against, for while the law can be applied to all in this coun- try it cannot be applied to the high seas for all users thereof, and by the testi- tnony that is given by the steamship op- orators passenger traffic goes to the ships that place no such restrictions on the sale of hquor It is to be realized that ou1 merchant marine is not made up of pas sehser ships, so that the failure of the law would hardly tie up the entire mer chant marine, but 1t doesn't appear as yet that passenger ships under our flag could get enough passengers to make I their existence profitable. In other word. as long as the dry law is applied to tn. passenger ships we are driving business t. the ships of other countries at tn, very, ~tirhe when we have heen ,nakins persist ent and elaborate efforts for tn development NfG American shipping Whether congress can be persuaded t
 make the change relative to. the sale O liquor on American passenger ships ol the high seas is question It is hein, strongly opposed even as the side of tn steamships is being strongly presented.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

After giving your face the usual wash dry it well with a soft cloth and then apply coating of good skin food gently with the finger tips
 If gray hair is inclined to be yellow. a, very fine, dark blue hair net worn over the coiffure, will take all the tirge of vel low out of it. As blue hairnets cannot be, purchased, a white one will have to be dyed in one of the prepared blueings. for rinsing white hair. The net should be of the best quality so as to give the right effect.
 A well-known hairdresser advises the use of hair nets of certain colors to add colorful glints to the hair. If the hair is dull mouse color and the eyes are blue,. use gold-yellow hair net. If the eyes are brown, red net should be tried. Of course the very best nets must be purchased, and not one of artif- cal hair, poorly colored.
 Bleaches will not remove white spots from the nails These spots are the same as bruises on the flesh, and are often caused by using steel nail file or accidentally striking the nail against hard objects. They will disappear with the growth of the nail.

WILL CUBA REsPoNDe

General Crowder hasn't been in Cuba long but the time has apparently been sufficient in which to reach conclusion as to what is the matter n the island re- public. Having gone to Cuba for the pur- pose Of finding out what the matter is and making Recommendations to over come them General Crowder who has had the befsfit of studying Cuban conditions before, finds that the trouble experienced at present would not be what it is if the judiciary was functionins as it should and as Cuba has a right to expect it to. Inasmuch as he declares the judiciary is taralyzed and has not decided the dis pntes which have arisen over the election of last November serious weakness is disclosed, and a serious obstacle placed In the way of the new election laws and reforms set up in the island for the p9r- pose of having elections replace revolu- tions
 From what General Crowder says it is evident that Cuba, knowing what the trouble is and what is contributing to its present situation, ought to recognize the importance of meeting. the situation Whether Cuba Is disposed to, any more than it was to prevent the judiciary from getting into the condition it is found can be told from the manner in which it responds to the recommendations giver to it. If after having it's case diagnosed and the remedy prescribed it continue: to grow worse instead of better through failure to take the medicine it mus realize that 1t will only, be urging inter vention on the part of this country, z
 step which this country does not want tt and will not take unless other mean. | fail
 It remains to be seen whether Genera Crowder can convince Cuba of the neces sity and wisdom of carrying out, his rec

Ears are having a revival. The new skyward bound cultures are responsible. And with the disclosure of ears, the never quite discarded earrings return to favor, and the earrings must be brand new. Styles have changed. as usual
 Social butterflies will wear the little field futterers in their. ears; butterflies of wrought gold with long glass pendants enclosing the tiniest of real real butter flies mounted on butterfly wing of vel low or electric blue. Seed pearl drops are longer and more elaborate than ever, and a solid round button of sapphires holds one brilliantly cut diamond in the center.
 The popularity of jade continues, and this in stone may be found another round fiat earring with single large pearl for icenterpiece. For those who must jingle ijangle like gypsy; and the pendant style is usually most becoming, there are lovely long drops of jade set in green gold fiji gree and pearls

rAsHIoNARLE GoMNs

Gowns made of soft, heavy clihgng Silks that fail nto long, graceful lines are much in evidence. These gowns are elm broidered with jet, chenille beads, or trimmed with lace, But the appeal of the gown lies in the drapery and the fabric.
 Satin, too, is in high favor with the de- signers, because it combines so beautiful ly with serge, tricotines and the other woolens and the sheer stuffs 50 well Satin is equally at its best in evening gowns and wraps. though when the lights are brightest the lame materials will prove a serious rival. This season it will be the glitter of gold rather than silver we shall prefer.

 At the time the country was very much divided as to the advisabillty Of the organ!za ton of such society, IL was claimed by the opponents that hay ing destroyed long -establ!shed ofdere of nobility new orders should not be set up by the very men who had aided So materially in pulling down the old"

RECIPES.

Delicious Baker Appiess Variety may be introduced in baked apples, which are so highly esteemed in the winter menu, by stuffing/ the hole in the apple from which the core has been taken with stoned dates or pruhes., Sliced figs are also good, but these should be soaked before being baked in the apPles. If a few drops of honey are poured over the apples few moments before they are taken from thes oven. the richness and flavor of the fruit will be iinprovsd.
 Modern Drake Cake: Beat two egg. into a half-cup of milk, add one level cup. of brown sugar, third of cup of butter, three level teaspoons of baking powder, quarter of a teaspoon of salt, one and quarter level cups of -four, one level teaspoon of ground ginger. half a teaspoon of grated nut. meg, three-quarters of a pound of stoned and sliced dates.
