The STerage number of aiftemooii clients served by the United Prese exceeds 600, by long odds the largest ever served by any press asso- Cleaner Streets. »T»HE movement on the part of the local Board of Public Works to 1 improve a number of the streets of.the city by a resurfacing of the old pavement, is a decidedly laudable one. Nobody will deny that many of these streets were and still are badly in need of repairs. But in its zeal to improve these thoroughfares the Board of Public Works should not be blinded by the fact that there are many other streets in the dty which need to be kept clean- judging from the condition of many of the city’s streets there is som e thing radically wrong with the methods of cleaning now in use. Some other system should be given a trial, as the present one is pro ductive of the most unsatisfactory results. Several of the streets on which there is a sheet asphalt pavement, manure and other filth is allowed to stand for several days without any attempt being made to clean it. These conditions do not reflect in a favorable manner upon the efficiency of the present city adminis tration and should be taken care of immediately. Printed Matter. ^ FFICERS of the Poughkeepsie Chamber of Commerce are work- v J ing on plans to stimulate “trade at home” ideas along all pos sible fines, and are making efforts to the end that printed matter which can be done in local shops be given to local establishments. Printed matter of the Poughkeepsie Chamber of Commerce bears the legend, “Printed in Poughkeepsie.” Efforts to create sentiment in tavor of ‘Trading at home” in all lines are being made by the Chamber. Incidentally, when a piece of printed matter has “Enterprise” on it, it has been both printed in Poughkeepsie and printed in the office of • a new spaper that represents Poughkeepsie by service- No Soft Music, Please. I^O R a man who has never shot anything aside from a jack rabbit, A and whose military knowledge does not go beyond the limits of watching parades, to be snatched out of his comfortable surroundings and be thrust into the middle of a war, there is something ridiculous even if it is tragic in spots. The war is war, but men are men. The British have found it possible to go up front singing foolish songs and they have buried their dead even with that brave fellowship that admits no gloomy thought. The saving sense, whatever it is, haS had to be in this war, or the strain would be unendurable to plain human beings like ourselves, who have fought it. So, as the drafted men march away, why should they let tears find any place in the cheers. Next month rulers of little empires at home will be cleaning the corporal’s boots, perhaps, and the last shall be first and the first last. There is enough of the-leaven of humor in that situation alone to make the trip to the training camp worth while- We half surmise the whole thing will have its compensations. Men who have worried over their ability to digest chicken pie will find themselves eating what comes, and glad to get it. Life’s good cheer is found in keeping young, and soldiering is a young thing to do this year. Next year, God grant, it may be skating, or dancing, or sleighriding. Whatever it is, we shall have the feeling tucked imder our vests that/ the Germans can’t bother us. So every body cheo- tip. iMrs. Margaret E.

Some one called up yesterday af- terfeoon and asked us what was the difference between a 'Chinaman, an undertaker and the Hudson River. we professed ignorance they said'that a Chinaman stiffens the col lars and an undertaker collars the stiffs. We were then inquisitive enough to ask where the Hudson River came in, and we were told that was where they caught the suckers. TORTURE. Soft and clammy it brushed agaimrt his face. Instinctively he raised his arm and dodged sideways to escape it, but was seized in a vise-like grip. His courage failed^ him, utterly. He gave vent to a piercing scream, bill the only answer was the echo from the four walls of the room. Twice he en deavored to break aw'ay. His efforts was useless. The moist warm thin'? that first had but touched his face forced its way against his nostrils and over his mouth. His breathing became laibored. Into his eyes • and ears this oozy presence groped its way. .He wondere'd' why he of all the world should he subjected to torture. His spirit was broken, he wimpered authorities.

COOKING There are two ways to cook—^the gas range way and the other way. Women who stick to the other way miss a great deal and waste a lo t o f en e r g y . f In the first place, the gas range saves a great^ deal of time—over two hours a day. This is because the fire is *‘on tap.** It is sJ- ways ready with just.fche kind of heat yon want. Then it saves a lot of physical woric. Its foel ccomes to it -in pipes. There is nothing to lift, or p<^e, or shake, or clean, or carry, about iL Just light the burner when ready, when through, turn it off. Best of all the gas range will save you money. It has been demonstrated repeat^ly that it costs less to cook by gas than by any other method. W ' V W i l M M m a J. H. FUCHEn 271 Main Street- Stationery of Quality.

The War’s Great Spiritual Lessons. QORROW and grief of all kinds have been conquered in this war O by the brave-hearted French and the Belgians—yes, even by our English cousins, who have not been actually invaded. Borne up ]?y the spiritual exaltation of their terrible situation, these people have shown the world a brand of courage that must forever shame a n y m a n who feels inclined to slink away in a corner and nurse his own little despair. As some writer has put i t : “What do Robert W. Chamber’s little bedroom scandals amount to when the women of Belgium have been violated?” So it runs all along the line. Are you blind? There are thousands of men who are blind from this war and who are learning to serve—blind. Nerves shaky ? There are thousands of men who have been through hell from shell shock, and doctors, who have also become dauntless in this war, are persistently trying to get them back on their feet. \Vliere is any man who dare say now; “There is no trouble like unto my trouble.” For the time being, and to the man just struggling through his particular woe, this may be true, but it will not remain ^rue- No emotion stays long with us unless it be renewed. The Bible puts it: “These are they which have come out of great tribulation.” Wherever we find gentleness and sympathy and understanding in this world we may know there is someone who might say, “Yes, I have suffered some in my time, and then I stopped suffering.” And there you are. And nothing is ever lost, is another lesson of the war. We do not go in much for spiritualism. Let those comfort themselves who can with the idea that they may be able to communicate with another world. But we believe that somewhere in the economy, of the universe, every fine thing is carefully cherished and we do not lose what sometimes it seems to us we have lost. Rather is it ours in a measure and sense that leaves no room_for worry or fear or doubt. , i A W ONDEI^UL SHOW A WONDERFUL CAST, and 6 BIG WONDERFUL PLAYS.
