Unless the people of Illinois are of the same mind as its governor they are certain to be indignant over his action In pardoping nearly dozen and a half of radicals wao have been convicted of violation of the anti-sedition law of teat state within a few days of the time they had begun to serve their sen- tsnceG- The leader of the men par doued Is a man of wealth wslo has been deVpting his efforts to such affairs as that in which he was involved al the time he was arrested His coav.o. ton and sentence were looked upon as leSon to those who believed they could violate the laws of 8 state with inE1nnity.
 In upsetting the decision of the courts, including the highest in the state of H. linois, Governor Small takes the posi- ton that the law Is unconstitutional. He aoesn't permit that to be decided by the courts and he doesn't accept the ver.

resorts to the oardoains power and gives tho convicted men their freedom. and virtually invites them to return to tho practices for which they have been convicted.
 The people Of Illinois must wonder what a decision Of their supreme court amounts to, when it holds good if it satisfies rlle governor Of the state, but is swept aside when he happens to diff fer herewith. The wonder is that they think of carrying stch matters to the courts at all, but instead referring them immediately to the governor.
 Governor Small in this instance takes as dangerous position as did CcIe Blease in South Carolina in his whole sale releases of prisoners, including murderers. IL is placing the judgrpen. of one man above that of the majority of a court. and if Illinois stops to think about it it reveals the serious danger of placing the pardoning power in the hands of one individual.

CONNECTICUT FORESTS.

In the closing week Of this month matter of much economic importance to New England is the forestry congress to be held at Boston for the benert of this section of the country. It is a sub icct that needs all the attention it can get and much more than it is getting New England may have been able to suTply its demands for timber at one time, but that was a long time ago, and 1t is far from being able to do so to- day. Something Ike three million dol lars are spent every year for the freight on lumber brought into pnis state. Con necticut cannot overcome that in a week, and there is bound to be much that it will have to continue to bring in, but there is an excellent opportunity for it to do a great Ideal more than 1t 's doing in supplying Connecticut grown timber to those in the state calling for 1t. '.' states. In New England 1t is probable that Maine is the only state which has a lumber supply to brag about, and when it is realized that in spite of the neY growth and the provisions for re- placement our timber supply is decreas- ing at the rate of 10000. .Ooo,OOO cubic feet a year 1t is evident that we cannot wait until the supply is gone before preparing for repleaishing our supply.
 The forests and woodlands of the country may seem large but as tho country grovs the demands are like; wise growing. and because the demands gre So tremendous and still increasing too much emphasis cannot be placed up, on the importance of producing nor, forests.
 There are states that win be looked to to produce much more timber to thu acre than Conpecticut, or number e the other New England states, bu there is an excellent chance not on!7 10 turn land which is not being utilized for other purposes to good use but Q thus utilzins old farmland Of whicI practically no use is being made. Tn Idea of keeping the forestry problem be fore the states is bringing to the ques ton the attention it needs.

LAUNDRY HINTS

Do not dry woolens or anything else in front of the nursery fire. The steam given off by the process is had for children, and often the cause of hoarseness and colds. '
 Use only the purest soap and water which is just warm. Very hot water or cheap soap will remove all the col our from the hose and make the threads so brittle that bad ladders" will result.
 Children's white serge or blanket cloth coats wash well. if treated in the same way as woolens, but it is a good plan to dry them flat. Wait for fine day to wash them, then place a clean towel on window ledge, choosing a sunny window and putting it wide open. Lay the coat on the towel, pull ing it into it's right shape. When it Is nearly dry. air it well in front ef the fire.
 If the serge is of good quality there is no reason why it should not be washed quite successfnlly. Warm, moi hot, water must be Used, and to every pailful of water allow 1-2 pint of white vinegar. Rinse iii clean warm watef with a few spoonfuls of vinegar. Squeeze the garment gently. and ar range 1n a clean cloth to dry. Do not hang he articles flor ;t ps weight

HEALTH AND BEAUTY

Don't read your newspaper before breakfast.
 Don't look too hard from a rail way carriage at the near objects as they flash by.
 Don't sleep so that the morning sunlight strikes on your face.
 Don't use y0ur eyas in a poor light.
 For sleeplessness a supper of fresh lettuce leaves, whose juice contains a powerful sedatiYe, will induce a sound, refreshing sleep. Another so- porific Is the onion. which steWed and eaten last thing, answers the double purpose of promoting sleep and cur ing chill.
 For a red nose wash the nose and the skin around it with hot water, holding the hot face clothes over it until it is much redder. Then the skin should be rinsed with very cold water or rubbed with a piece of ice or bath ed with a good astringent, tincture of benzoin will do nicely. Or the nose should be massaged gently from toy to tip with the fingers and tapped all over. Frequent spraying with toilet ammonia is another valuable hint.

THE HOUSEWIFE
SUGGESTIONS FOR

HE HOUSEWIFE e
 Special fruit stands are sold for storing fruit, which should be so laid that they do not touch. But failing this. ordinary shelves will do. This applies to pears, apples, aprlcols' plums, oranges. Bananas and grapes should be hung, while lemons should be wiped dry and then hung up Tn a net.
 The best iron-stand is a brick. It is better than the usual open stand, becaut;e it is g. non- conductor of neat and consequently an iron will retain it's heat longer when stood upon one
 Remove grease spots from your Wal paper by applying mixture ot pipe clay and water. The mixture Shou4c be quite thick and left upon the pa per for twenty-four hours. IT tn grease marks are of long standing ml the pipeclay with petrol. Do not burn eggshells. Put them into a small bag tie up and place iI the copper when boiling White clothes The clothes will emerge snowy white as the lime contained in the shells has a bleaching effect.
 When buying cauliflower chocst those with firm white heads. When making meat pies with a bot: tom crust, brush the crust over witl beaten egg on the inside. This vii prevent the gravy soaking through. If it is found difficult to remove pa 1 per from raAsins, place the packag' l in the oven few minutes. The papel comes off like magic and the raisini WiIl fall apart.
 Salt meat should be put into warn l water and brought to the boiling point; afterwards simmering as in tn 1 case Of fresh meat.

A SIMPLE CLEANSER

Last winters velour hat,- emerging from storage, looks shabby and nnat- tractive. But there's no need to pack 1t off to the cleaner. Bran will do the work beautifully at home.
 Remove the hat trimmings and brush the surface well to get rid of the dust. Heat a pie-dish full of bran in a very slow oven. watching and turning carefully so that it does not catch. Leave it till just hot enough to bear your hand in it without dis comfort
 Now take the bran a handful at a time and rub it well all over the hat, discarding each handful as soon as it shows signs of soiling. Reheat the bran if it cools, and if necessary give the hat a second cleaning. Beat the bran out with cane and the hat will look perfectly clean and fresh again.
 Bran is invaluable in other ways too. For instance, it will remove dirt from painted and vanished woodwork without damaging the surface.
 Bran water keeps colored goods from fading when washed.
 Hands which are spoiled by house work can be much whitened and inn proved if they are washed regularly with bran instead of soap.

KEEP WITHIN BOUNDS.

In one way and another We are aware of the fact that We are getting away from the war period. A new evil deuce Of it is the government report to the effect that the revenues for the year ending with last June were less than those of the preceding year by over 2 billion and a third.
 There is, of course, reason for this and the commissioner of internal reve- nue states that the reduction is due to the fact that there have been changes made in tho tax laws reducing taxation under the revenue act Of 1921, and because business has experi- erced shrinkage. In other words the taxpayers are experiencing some Of Inc cut in taxes which they have long de- sired and that big volume of war busi- ness is disappearing. We are thus get ting back to noFmak-y even though we are yet some distance away from it.
 Not many will be disposed to think that there has been too great reduc- ton in taxation, or that it has come too soon, but with that slump in revenue it must be fully apparent that the real ef- fort now must be to keep the ependi- lures within it. It was an excellent record which congress made in the mat ter of banishfng certain extrayagances that had prevailed and cutting to the bone when it came to appropriations That was a policy of ineSimable value but each slump in revenue only empha- sizes the fact that it must be continued for it is quite as necessary that there should be curtailment of expendi- lures as there is that taxation should be reduced. We can cut the amount ot tax paid, but if we continue to spend recklessly We simply pile up indebted. ness which must be met sooner or later
 For some time it has been maintained that large deficit was faced this year unless the garment was cut according to the cloth. Hopes nevertheless art that the deficit can be practically wipel out, even with the reduced revenue, bu l nothing could be plainer than the fac that it cannot be done if there is to bt ' a period of extravagance in expend
 lures. We have a budget now and th, thing to do is to stick closely to it.
