Mr. Harding’s farewell message to his colleagues I* the senate conveyed the promise of executive regard foe the responsibilities of the senate coupled with a just insistence upon the responsibilities of the executive. In no better spirtt could Senator Harding prepare to enter upon the office of President than in the spirit of co-operation which*-he haa so re-

Pariilff last year w, have dealt with 1.304 families —119 of these situations Were entirely new acquaintance* with us and thla is an Item of much interest. In our statistical report, w# also find that during tlw last year no family situation waa reported to ns because of intetpporaitc*. What a contrast to some of our reports of previous years! Mr. Foster knows, from bis experience. that formerly many famrtle* have applied to the organisation for assistance because money that should have gone to the family's support waa spent for boose. In no case last year was there any intimation that charity was needed because of intemperance. The law has not failed. That It can be enforced is shown in communities where honest efforts are heihtg made to enforce It. Nb one ex-

tatlve of the government would. oY indeed could ha\£ appeared before the American eonimlttee. ' There wa# no other action possible, and therefore there is no reason why It should have “come unexpectedly” to any one.

It would have been surprising to the point of astonishment hkd the ambassador taken any other <*>urs*. iJURltiTitAti DECORATIONS At every holiday season the fire department has more work to do than !« ordinary times. An amiable father, attired in Hants Claus whiskers, leans too clone to a lighted candle, and the fire department saves as much as is possible. Lighted candles near curtains cause fires and the Christmas trees frequently burn. The National Fire Protective Association has prepared a schedule of hints as follows: Do not decorate your Christmas tree with paper, cotton, or any other lirflammable material. Use metallic tinsel apd other noninflammable decorations only, and set the tree securely #o that the children in reaching for things can not Up It over. Do not use cotton to represent snow. If you must have snow use powered mica or asbestos fiber. Do not permit children to light, or relight candles while parents are hot preatbt. They frequently set fire to their clothing instead. Electrical illumination 1* safer. Do not leave matches within reach of children at holiday time. Candles are meant to h* lighted and If the children can get matches they will experiment with them. They imitate their elders. . Do not allow trees to remain inside buildings after the holidays. The tree itself Ignite# readily when needles have become dry. A large number of fires usually occur in January from

this cause.

peeled that all liquor would disappear overntight, but all friends of prohibition did contend that general conditions would be improved. Mr. Foster’s report shows that they have been. The bootiegger is still busy, but the open saloon is no more and thousands of families have profited

by ltd disappearance.

People buying their Christmas tree decorations may well keep these hints in mind- In many homes all of th* customs advised against are followed year after year and no fires occur. but that is because luck has been on the side of those who disregard advice. * A tree may b# decorated in a safe and sane manner and be as attractive as when lUteped with inflammable tinsel and lighted by burning candles. The work can be done 4 as Inexpensively and as easily as by the use of the old and dangerous methods. The advice given by the National Fir* Protection Association is not de-

One such act is within the power of Mr. Harding even before he becomes President. And that is action ta make it clear that his promise of co-operation with other nations for the furtherance of world peace was not an empty one. In the framing of his cabinet his choice must he made between the friends of international eo-operation and its enemies. We can not see that Senator Harding has any free choice in the matter.

Htadraaee to Marriage. The speaker said that married women alto dress in unusual fashions because they feel they are social representatives of their families and by expenditures on clothing seek to demonstrate the financial standing of their husbands. This vulgarity of display has a deteriorating effect on the characters of both men and women, he said. ^ "The young man discovers rhat^oday, with the cost of living so g ly advanced, he can not afford ! marry and so he goes into comf< abl* bachelor quarters rather marry.” Dr. House continue*!. in' workingman finds his wife outshone in attire by wives of men in other lines of livelihood, which makes him dissatisfied and so causes him to demand a more equal distribution of wealth.

tigation of unemployment would cost considerable money and probably yield much conflicting testimony,.but it would not procure an^ workingman a jejb. It has been hoped that the epidemic of investigations was at an end, but the convening of congress brings with it fresh demands for such things. The public would be more tdlerant of these inquiries, expensive as they are, if anything definite were accompjished. Much time is taken, many witnesses examined and two politically biased reports are filed. After that usually nothing is done? Congress can not punish. The facts it collects must be turned over to the Courts and that branch of the government might as well take Up the work in the first

PENSION REPORT .

Gaylord M.

From 1790 to 1930, Inclusive, pensions paid on account of American participation in war amounted to 05,€3©.«l5.7lf.04. By far the largest item in this list Is the cost of civil war pensions, which was $3,502,445,315.43- Pensions for veterans of the revolutionary war and their dependents amounted to $70,000,000. Thus It cost approximately 970.000, 000 In pensions to gain Independence T. V... _ - ... _ J. :

process of perforation that is deemed highly important for bast results. A machine is used for the purpose, by which each cheese is punctured with a number of steel rod# of small diameter, preened through it l.y a downward movement of a lever. A heavy sprirtg retracts the rods, and the operation is repeated on the-next cheese- The object of this treatment is to aerate the interior of the cheess, and so quicken the growth of the peculiar fungus which gives to Rouqusfort its greenish spots and much-

appreciated flavor.
