Smoking the
peace pipe T.,
in wartime

A late report from an A. E. F.
veteran who found a can Of
tobacco in his soldier mail
1t was during the thick Of things in
France that Gen. Pershing sent the
following frantic cable to Washington.
"Tobacco is ~ necessary a. food.
Send thousand tons at once"
As any ex-doughboy will tell you, .
thousand tons Of tobacco distributed
over fighting force Of 2,000, 900 men
showed good intentions, but it didn't
fill the need-not by few million
pipefuls.
Even today letters still come in
from veterans who have forgotten the
horrors Of war and remember only the
thrill Of "a real American smoke" in
France.
For one, Hugh Livingstone, Adju-
tant Of Yankee Division Post, No.

Gentlemen:
My Introduction to Edgeworth took
place over In the training area In France
under circumstances that left lasting
impression Of the good qualities Of Edge
worth,
One night, after hard days work,
my bunkie drew q package from home,
one Of those mysterious Affairs that might
contain everything but what you wanted.
After due ceremonies Of guessing he
opened It and the FIRST thing we saw was
the blue box Of Edgeworth. All further
operations ceased until We filled the pipes.
After using the French tabac for several
weeks and burning our mouths and
throats to . raw state you can imagine
how cool and satisfying that Edgsworth
tasted to Us.
We smoked until We were ordered TO
bed, and fell asleep smoking. You can
Just bet letter went home for more
Edgeworth.
Since that time have used about
every kind Of tobacco that 10 put up, but
It 10 Edgeworth for me when can get it.
Thank you for putting such satisfying
and cool tobacco on the market. 'a
Gratefully yours,
Signed Hugh Llvingstons.

No room in the house demands

the hands are spared, and it is easier
for the bristles to reach the parts in
and around the fixtures than for the
fingers. A ARROW brush with a long
wire handle reduces plumbing bills
by keeping clean the outlet pipes for
a considerable distance from the tub,
bowl and lavatory.
The efficiency with which a kitch-
en- is kept in order demands largely
on careful planning and the proper
use of the available equipment. How

ava people exclaim about the
number of brushes 1 have, also the
sizes and shapes and ask. How do
you know what sizes and shapes to
~select?" This always brings mention
of my one guiding point in their pur-
chase-whenever a corner or crevice
is difficult to reach in cleaning I try
to and a brush with bristles and a
handle which will do the work. And
I usually ind the needed tool.
Floor care is one of the most i'm
portant tasks Of housekeeping. Many
kinds of brushes are useful II this
work Is to be accomplished efficient
ly. I have not eliminated the corn
broom from my household, even
though some of its work has been
taken from it by the vacuum and by
brushes. The broom still has an i'm
portant mission in life-that of col
lecting large pieces of trash on the
floor, such as scraps of paper and
cloth. A small whisk broom or a
child's toy broom Is useful in brush
ing the collected trash into a dust
pan.

of the sewing machine, the wall be-
hind the pictures, the chandeliers, the
floor behind radiators and under pr
amos and other low furniture. How
much easier 1t Is than trying to
move a heavy piano! For busting
wicker and willow furniture and the
banisters of stairs, I know of moth
ing equal in efficiency to a shorter
handled, long. narrow brush with a
point.
For Bed Springs.
I use this same brush for cleaning
the bed springs. Before this labor
saving brush came into my house 1t
was a matter Of wrapping the hand
in a cloth and striving to force it
among the wires to reach all the
dust. Although I use the vacuum
sweeper attachments on the up
holstered furniture and draperies at
least nee a month, I find brushes
serviceable in making the daily
cleaning tour in the rooms when the
time is limited. For busting velvet
and velour upholstery. a soft hair
bristle brush is just the thing. while
one with somewhat sitter bristles
give better results in cleaning tap
estry and other heavy materials.
Brushes with curved ends make 1t
easy to remove the dust around the
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-01-12

or wood floors nothing takes the
place Of a long-handled brush or
broom to do the work. For busting
wood floors, a long handled dust
mop is the very thing. and II 1t has
a wide margin the floor surface is
covered rapidly.
Wall Brushes.
After floor care, keeping the walls
free from dust requires mor effort
and worry than any other part Of the
cleaning. II one must climb from
stool to chair and stretch every
muscle Of the body to reach the cob
webs on the ceiling. the task saps
ones energy. I formerly used a
broom covered with a soft cloth bag.
but now I have a long-handled brush
with soft hair bristles, which re-
moves the soil without leaving any
streaks Or scratches.
For the daily busting rounds I use
a buster with a 12-inch handle which
has a brush composed Of strands OF
treated coarse cotton threads, and
about once in every two weeks I use
an old-fashioned dust cloth to apply
furniture polish to the wood. This
is always followed by a rubbing with
my "duster-brush."

a rather flexible handle, the radiator

The Handkerchief as Worn by Smart P~arisiennes

ly falling out of the hip pocket and
many famous equestriennes never
failed to show the bright bandana

A bright corner of colored silk
falling from the pocket of a sombre
tailor suit is a bright note often seen
during the morning walk or shopping
hour. The handkerchief bandeau
was the smart sporting notion at
Deauville, for tennis or for the bath

neck as an apache. A more recent
striking example Of novelty and friv-

olous detail combined by a handker-
chief was the introduction Of a large
bright silk handkerchief floating
from n side of a hip belt of an all
black velvet dress worn at a dance
tea by a ~well-known actress.
A brilliant silk handkerchief tied
about the wrist of bare arms of the
wearer Of a dark crepe or velvet tot

and attractive. Among this seasons

handkerchiefs which mean that a

may be purchased and applied in the
center Of each corner two inches

each motif and outline in pencil.
Paint the motifs with black and YER

mixed with stencil mordant. If one
prefers they can be appliqued. Now
work the outline of the card in out

with red bias binding. Cut four
pieces Of binding one-hah yard long.
Sew one to the center Of each side to
