f (Fafe and Fashions) Woman's mt f Household Helps Jj Ij Dorothy Dix Talks I THE WICKEDEST WOMAN IN THE WORLD. By22 Paid Woman Writer I Who are the wickedest -women in the -world, the women who do the most inarm, and who aro the most absolutely callous to the misery and suffering they bring on others? That's easy to answer, you say. The wickedest women in the world are the vampires, the degraded women of the , siums, the women who are thieves, the women whose hands are red with blood. Not at all. These poor creatures that you have mentioned, at their worst, hurt only a few people. Life dealt hardly with most of them and they had little chance to be other than what they are, and neither Gor nor. society enn hold them to much ac countability. The wickedest women In the world are the sweet, gentle, pious, respecta ble, church-going mothers who are deliberately raising up children to 1 - wreck tho lives ot tne innocent ana unoffending people they marry, to r bring grief and sorrow Into tho homes ' they enter and to add another sorrow , to the hearts of their husbands or ! parents. " In all the calendar of crime there Is no other act so brutally cruel. It is far worse than theft because to be r robbed of one's money Is nothing in B comparison with being robbed of one's peace and happiness. It is far worse . ,, than murder because it takes only a ! second to slay one physically, while I one who is miserably married is slow ' y tortured to death through long I years. It is a crueler and a subtler r lorm of parasitism than any vampire J,' ever devised, because it sucks cour 3 ge and enthusiasm and tho ability to ucceed out of a man or woman, and ihere is no way to free oneself from it save through scandal. Every woman in the world knows ' ; that not only doos marriage make or mar the life of the individual but that it affects all those who are nearest and dearest te hlra er her. When a beloved daughter marries a man who I is cruel and brutal to her and who , makes her life a purgatory, not only P docs the girl suffer but her parents' hearts are wruns: with hers. When a dear and splendid son sets as a wife a. virago who makea his days a burden I to hiia, he does not frieve alone. His mother and father, bis sisters and brothers, softly and silently tread his Gethsemane with him. An unhappy marriage is like a pejblc thrown into a sea of trouble. Its waves spread on and en until they toich every edge of the family circle. Dnce upon a time a woman said to m? of her sister and her sister's chil- j dien: "God sent Louise angels but she m is doing the be3t she can to turn them K Into devils." m And Louise was emiently successful. K The tv.'o children were unusually K "handsome and intelligent and of a most winning charm. They should R have made a splendid man and wom- an. but their mother spoiled and pam- IH pered them. She indulged them in their every wish and desire; she lm never taught them any self control or H any consideration for the rights of any B other human being on earth. H The boy grew up to be a good look- B injr. fascinating, gay young chap, with B plenty of ability to do anything: had it B ever been turned in any definite direc- B tion. He married a splendid young B girl who tried te make him a coed DIB wife, but he broke her heart by cruel- ty, neglect and abuse. If she dared II to cross his will he would curso her IOjB In shameful language. He was too I M lazy and selfish to work and he drifted I down and down until he became the town loafer and drunkard. II In trying to save their daughter $ X from want the girl's parents impov 3 m crished themselves so that their old &T Wt age v,as iart anxious, Instead of ice ft heing comfortable and easy, and ( they ft I too were tho victims of this wicked rG t woman who raised up her son to be a t m curse to those who wore nearest to $ji K The wicked mother's daughter grew ilil m UP into a beautiful and attractive girl jj m and she married as fine a young fellow am 13 "as n e communit3- girl foriB had been raiscd t0 tne belief that she IK was the one who must always have her heart's desire, no matter how she m attained it, and as she was gay and K liked to go about, and as she was pretty and liked to adorn herself, she B embarked upon a career of extrava- m gance that soon swept away all of her m husband's fortune and brought him to K bankruptcy. M Faced by bills that he could not pay, I hounded and harassed by debts of his I wife's making, ho ended it all by put ting a bullet through hia brains a 1 murder for which his wife's mothor was just as much responsible as if she had first tortured him and then slain him. It did not take tho pretty young 3pa widow long to marry again. This time fig she married a gifted young man who flffi : was full of ambition and who had al- : ready begun to climb the ladder of 38 J success. He will never get any higher fa than ho is because she has ma.de a H , pack house out of his Pegassus. He's 9 sot to do the drudgertbat comes near- 13 ost to hls lland Decause she's sot to a have money. He has got to wear him- 'B sel out trottInS around with her to 3Es I places of amusement.

V The young man's heart and. spirits 'm are broken and his parents, who had iayv centered their hopes on him, who had wQfM sacrificed to give him the education ej?j' and training to fit him for his career ttfSii are broken hearted, too, for their life 8H 1 Work and tneIr ambiUons aro also preSj? blasted by tho work of tho wicked woman who raised up a daughter to ffl ght the happiness of all tnosc who come within hor sphere of influence, ri n( tns "kicked woman who has 5rtf$ ne soj.much harm in the world is .Jm PUcb a gTod Avoman sho doeBn't even E , .realize the crimo she has committed! ,1fj .

One wonders how any woman who has even a shred of conscience or heart in her can face the knowledge, that she is raising up a girl who is going to turn tho life of a good man Into utter desolation and blight his hopes and ambitions. Yet this is what every mother is doing who js bringing up her children to be selfish, Extravagant, high tem pered and without self control, and that is why the wickedest women in the world are the mothers who are rearing such husbands and wives who turn matrimony from the heaven that it should be into the hell that is onlv too often is. Surely, it is the crime of crimes that these wicked women must an swer for at the judgment bar. j BREAKFAST IS READY "Breakfast is ready!"

The certificates were en-! graved and elaborate. Private Clar-I cen Y. McCoy was the only member of B battery to be discharged. All of the boys expresoed creat regret over the action, after serving with the bat tery for so asany mouths. A wind storm swept across the camp yesterday morning, starting lato in tho night, and levoled every tent and loose building on the ground. The artillery men got out of their shelters with the first puff of the GO-milc gale and hold down tents, equipment and clothes. Fine red dust covered them liko snow and sifted into the bedclothes, the windows and in fact everywhere. Heavier guy ropes were Issued after tho storm had subsided and several hours wore spent in brushing the camp out of the dust. -nn THERE WAS A DAY NOT LONG AGO When Few Women Used Face Powders, Creams or Cosmetics Now, almost every woman uses them and without concealment. It Is conceded that sho has the right to re tain her youthful look as long as she can.

If your hair is gray, streaked with gray or faded, you, too, can bring back all its natural color with this simple, harm less preparation. Q-ban is not a dye. You can prove this by trying it on your combings. Dyes will color them but Q-ban leaves them unchnnged. It is a wonderful and delightful toilet requisite which keeps the hair glossy and youthful.

FALSE REPORTS ARE BEING GIRCULATEO An appeal has been issued to loyal Americans to he,lp in the campaign against pro-German propaganda a propaganda that is tending to create confusion and prevent fullest possible co-operation in civilization's war upon tho Hohenzollerns. The plan is to urge every person to note tho namo and circumstances of any person offering disloyal criticisms and caluminous accusations against tho American government. It is ask ed that the name and the circum stances bo forwarded to the nearest bureau of the department of justice or to the state headquarters of the Coun cil of National Defense. It is expected that government op eratives or official's connected with the Council of National Defense will run down tho charges and ascertain tho source which inspired the remarks or criticisms. The campaign is fltartpd because of the energy and surprising ly compact organization of the pro Germans or tho peace-at-any-priccrs. Their work, it is declared is merely postponing tho victory over the Teuton autocrats and the more quickly thoy are exterminated the more quickly tho kaiser and his savage horses will rea lize that their rule is doomed. Here are only a few of the myriad storios which these pro-German prop agandist" are civciiinting: That r-wrators knit by patriotic women for tae Red Cross have 1-cen found on sale In department frr.':. Thai soldiers in cantonments must buy their own frod or starve :o Jea:h. That the pt.rf-'ifment, propp-a r confiscate "ji1 moneys dopositid in banks for w;tr ic.

(Every soldier hns thiee doublo blankets.) That Secretary Tumulty has been executed because he was a German rpy. That tho death rate of allied troops on :ue western front is 50 per .cent. (Less than three men of everv 100 die iu tho trenches.) That troop transports have boon submarined on their way to Franco and tho government has suppressed the drowning of thousands of soldiers. FAT REDUCTION IS MOT SIMJL The purpose of Beauty is to refine the native uncouthness of human na ture. Wa all bow to its -power. It is the only autocracy that has no nihi list shadow. Alas! this means the fat woman must serve instead of rule, for beauty in woman is a composite of both lino and feature. Tkuoands of fat women aro beauti ful of faco. But they lag behind in I the race for proferenco because a too 'Ponderous outline dashes the favor their face has gained them. Now, pretty fat women can reduce that fat (not the good pure-lined flesh) in a very simple way. No exercise no dietinr is necessary. Let them take ne Ifaratola Proscription Tablet aft er each meal and at bedtime for a month. The fat will simplv fade. No wrinkles or pouches of skin will form but the loss will be uniform. Tho fat will go as stealthily as it came; fade away. Tho health will Improve, the eye grow mora brilliant, the wit sprightlicr.

Tho senator was stricken on the train shortly aftor leaving Chicago on his; way to Washington last Saturday, and since his return has been In a serious condition. Nothing was known of his illness until this morning, whon grave fears for his recovery wero enter tained. Senator Brady's absence from tho senate this week had been ex plained on tho ground that ho was resting after his trip east from Poca tello. Tonight the senator's physician stated that ho has shown some slight improvement, though he is by no means out of danger. His heart is in poor condition and much depends upon his reserve energy. Two years ago Senator Brady had a heart attack very similar to the present and for several days his life hung In the balance. If he recovers, his doctor says, ho will have to exercise extrcmo care for many months and will not bo able to resume his place in the senate for some time. oo TESf II II CITY'S LIQUOR ORDIIES To test the validity of the city ordi nance passed September 24, 1917, petition for a writ of habeas corpus for Juan Zamala, a Mexican serving a six months term in tho county jail for violation of tho liquor ordinances, was granted yesterday by Judge Agec of tho district court. Attorneys Sam Powell and J. M. Kimball represent Zamata and they claim tho ordinance 1 under which he was convicted andi sentenced to Jail does not contain propej authority. Zamata was sen tenced to Jail on December 22. The hearing on tho writ of habeas corpus is to be held January 11. Tho attorneys claim tho ordinance was passed by tho board of city com missioners without due or legal auth ority and that, therefore, the authority which Chief Thomas Browning holds Zamata In jail is not valid.

Says Phosphate Doubles Strength and Health. Numerous notices have appeared in tho press from time to time telling of tho remarkable benefits to be derived from the regular use of a digestiblo organic phosphato known among drug gists as bltro-phosphate. Investiga tion shows that bltro-phosphate which is obtainablo of any good druggist, en joys its great popularity because of its peculiarly valuable property of quick ly restoring tho strength and vitality of the depleted nervous system. Neu rasthenia, nervousness, sleeplessness and physical and mental weakness are almost invariably duo to starved ner vous system. This condition can only bo corrected by supplying to the nerve centers the necessary phosphoric food eloments, the lack of which has caused all the trouble. For this purpose spe cialists highly re'eommend taking with each meal a tasteless 5 -grain tablet of the organic phosphate now so gen erally known as bltro-phosphate, which, while being inexpensive, is un doubtedly the most remarkable nerve food and restorative of health and strength known to medical science. Bitro-phosphate is sold in this city by Cullcy Drug Co., Mclntyre Drug Co., Sullivan Drug Co., and all good drug gists. Advertisement. AMERICAN VIEW OF BRITISH DRINK LONDON, Jan. N 11. Preaching in the city temple yesterday the Rev. Dr. Joseph Fort Newton, the pastor, who was formerly from Iowa, made refer ence to his recent sermon in which he dealt with tho question of drink ing among Amorican soldiers and sail ors. Ho said ho wanted tho British to understand tho American point of view. Americans, ho added, hold that if tho government has a right to con script a man on behalf of tho groat cause, it has the right to conscript his conduct and keep him fit to do that work. "In America," ho continued, "it is a criminal offense to soli liquor to men in uniform. On this side, of course you cannot enforce this regulation. I mado tho request that you shall help us to do so. Most of tho men are able to resist temptation but we must not set traps to catch the loose feet of those who aro fighting with a weak will. "When the fact was published that increases in tho amount of grain wero being allowed brewers, it filled Amer icans with amazompnL Of course, there has been a great improvement In the matter of drinking. It is 40 per cent better than two years ago. While rejoicing over tho Improvement, it is a great pity to tako a step backward by allowing an increased output by tho breweries."
