Enemy Recruits Tories.

NEW YORK, September 10. 1776.-l
Long Island has now become the en-
emy's country in every sense of the
word. The Tories are making it their
own. Not only have they taken full
possession of the ground since the
Americans withdrew their Army from
Brooklyn on August %, but they have
made it a recruiting station for the
British army.
Few Of the Tories have ever shown
any real eagerness to fight for their
wicked cause, but one of them always
has, and now he has his chance. This
Is Gen. Oliver De Lancey, and he Is
now advertising that he has been au-
thorized to- raise brigade of Ameri-
cans for the service of the King. He
promises that any person of good
character who will organize a COM
pany Of 20 men shall have COM
mission and these captains and their
men be paid like other soldiers of the
King.
He offers other inducements besides
pay to those who will desert their
country's cause. The chief of these
Is freedom from robbery by the Brit
ish and Hessian troops. Gen. De Lam
cey announces that he has orders
from his excellency the Hon. William
Howe, general and commander-in-
chief of all his majesty's forces in
North America from Nova Scotia to
the Floridas." and with that impress
sive Introduction of himself he makes
known his willingness to accept of
the submissions of the inha bitants.'
He promises the people that upon lay
ing down their arms, taking the oath
refusing obedience to Congress. obey
ing the legal authority of the Kings
officers, and promising to pray for the
King and the royal family in all
places of worship. they will he permit
ted to call their possessions their own.
One thing that will happen to those
who refuse to adopt this program Is
suggested in proclamation which
Gen. De Lancey issued two days ago.
wherein he says that all the fat cattle
and sheep in Suffolk County are to be
driven to Jamaica. where the owners
will receive certificates of weight and
be paid for their animals: but persons
who are lin actual rebellion mean
| ing those who will not subscribe to
De Lancey's conditions-will see their
sheep and cattle taken from them by
force.
Two signers of the Declaration of
Independence have residences on Long
Island. They are Gen. William Floyd
of Mastic and Francis Lewis Of White
stone. Beyond doubt they will suffer
the total loss of their estates.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
Stammering.

Mrs. #. y. B. writes: what can I
do to help my 6-year-old boy over
come the habit of suffering? He has
only begun to do this recently, and
though I make him stop when he
starts to stammer and start all over
again. there are times when he can
hardly talk. He has difficulty with
the t. and e. sounds, though there
are times when he seems to stutter
over almost any word. what would
you advise me to do?"
Answer-The principle in helping
child to overcome the habit of stutter-
ing lies in trying to discover how the
habit began. If a boy hasn't suffered
until Just recently there must be
some cause for it just now which
didn't exist previous to this time.
Is he, right now, up to normal
weight? Is he up to his grade in
school and does he look forward to
school with pleasure? Are you by
any chance forcing him to use his
right hand when 1t seems more nat
ural for him to use his left one? This
is sometimes the cause of stammering.
Has he had any fright or nerve
racking experience lately? 1t some
times happens that older children
brighten small boys by threatening
them with punishments, and so every
thing which reminds the small boy of
his tormentors, even the letters of
their names, affects him SO that he
suffers and stammers when he tries
to say these letters. Perhaps the
child has been frightened by some
animal. There is always some nerv-
Gus origin when stammering begins
out of a clear sky, as 1t were, and the
mother should try to find what caused
1t and remove the cause Of the fright,
whether it be playmates or animals.
There is one other thing which may
cause persistent stammering and that
is when the small victim is doing it
in unconscious imitation of someone
else. 1t Is easy enough to initiate a
stammerer, and at first it is great
fun. Then the imitator finds himself
suffering over words, and soon, be-
cause it attracts so much attention
and causes worry, he continues to do
1t until the habit becomes so fixed
that it is a real task to break himself
of It,
The mother needs to have sympathy
and understanding and If she feels
that the child is initiating some one
the best method Is entirely to ignore
the suffering, so that it will die from
malnutrition. 1t Is so easy for habits
to flourish in the limelight, and die
quickly from inattentiOn.

Pillow covers that transform
ordinary feather pillows used on beds
into attractive cushions for touches
and chairs are intriguing. They as
sumo a place of especial Importance
in the furnishing OF college rooms
and those in which girls must make

such circumstances. And to this

Of pillow covers has to be solved
by a very large group of women. The
subject is not without interest to all
homemakers who find they do not
have enough sofa cushions and who
hesitate to spend more money to get
the kind they want.
Slip-on Covers.
The one necessary thing about
these sofa pillow covers is that they
must have one end open. so that the
ira nsforminG of them night and day
from one use to the other is simple.
II the cover is made a trif1e longer
than needed, and has each of the ends
hemmed and snaps sewed to them,
these fastenings will conceal the
opening. There should be length
enough on the side that comes under
the flap to hide all traces Of the tick
ing pillowCase. Buttons and button
holes are liked hest by some home
makers for such fastenings, but to
most Of us this involves more work
than seems necessary.

remove the white case from the pill

LOUISVILLE, Ky.
Will you be kind enough to explain
the origin of Christian belief in the
resurrection of the body?
This belief passed over into early
Christian doctrine from pre-existent
Jewish sources. But there were also
early Christians who regarded the
body Is essentially evil and to these
the idea of its restoration was intoler-
able. All alike believed in the persist.
ence of the soul beyond death.
st. Paul's splendid expression Of
this Christian doctrine Is found in the
18th chapter Of his first letter to the
shows % that Christ's triumph over
death is the assurance of the believ-
er's triumph, 81 that the body laid
aside in the tomb is laid aside forever,
90 that the soul receives q spiritual
lied and glorif1ed body in unmistak
able continuity with the body Of earth,
and az that therefore we may antiCi-
pate the life to come as equipped with
whatever is necessary for perfect and
satisfying fellowship with each other
and with our Lord.

Various Cushions.
The room for the college girl can be
treated as a boudoir and the entire
bed be given a dainty touch. A chintZ
cover for the mattress with a similar
cover for the head and foot board If
these should be concealed, together
with some slip.on covers in the same
material for the pillows. is all that is
necessary. But if the room is for II
business girl, where more Of living
room effect should be given the place,
then the covers for couch and cush-
ions should be more dignified. They
need cost no more, but they must be
of Il different character. Denim or
some close woven, plain fabric with
sufficient body not to crease and
wrinkle easily Is good for the couch.
The cushions may be of the same ma
terial or be more decorative without
becoming dainty, which idea should
be avoided.
For Handsome Cushions.
IF the one-room apartment is being
furnished. then the cover and the
cushions should he as handsome as
the purse can afford. There are dam
asks and hrocades that are exquisite,
and there are velvets and velours that
are artistic in color and eminently
suitable. And from these down to the
denims there Is a vast assortment of
fabrics that can appropriately be used.
Arrangement of Cushions.
The arrangement of the pillows is
essential. No longer is it right to have
them assembled in piles. They must
be arranged with simplicity and pre-
cision. They may stand stiff and
straight against the wall. Three large
ones or four or five smaller cushions
may be used. three being the most
pleasing. Or there may be merely two
end pillows in bolster shape. These

MAKING MOST
OF EGGS

eagerness for lunches OF roast
beef and Yorkshire pudding, an
egg or fish salad is a much
sought after favorite. Here are
three candidates for your favor:
/. Press the yolks of six hard
boiled eggs through a fine sieve;
Mix with a cup of stoned and
finely chopped ripe olives. Moisten
with tartar sauce and serve in
little mounds on fresh crisp let
tuce surrounded with ring on
chopped egg white marinated In
French dressing.
2. Remove the yolks from six
hard cooked eggs and mix with
heavy cream sauce highly sea-
soned with freshly grated horse
radish and a little vinegar. Fill
the egg whites with this mixture.
garnish with strips Of pimento
and serve on a bed of waite"
cress. Use a French dressing to
which a few finely minced chives
have been added.
3. Remove the yolks from hard
cooked eggs and hollow out the
whites as much as possible to
make a case. Fill with chopped
lobster meat, mixed with tartar
sauce. Serve on lettuce with a
garnish of thinly sliced cucum-
bers marinated in a sharp French
dressing.
