THE SPIRIT THAT SWAYS FRANCE
Have you heard of the "Secours-National" of Prance 1? It
is a great central body in which all religious and political be-
Mefs have, for the first time in the history of France, been
merged in absolute harmony.
On its central committee, the chief dignitary of the Cath
olic church of Paris, the chief Jewish rabbi, the leading
protestant ministers, republicans, socialists, clericals, mon
archists serve, side by side and whole heartedly for France.
It is the spirit of the Greatest Republic—save one. One,
for all, all for one, "E pluribus unura" personified!
'Tis the spirit which enabled a nation, taken unawares
through Belgium, to hurl back the greatest war machine ever
builded, on the Marne; the spirit which has aided France to
accomplish an economical miracle; to not only supply her own
great needs, but to give of her riches to England, to Russia,
to Italy, to Servia, even to Roumania; the spirit which has
put 2,500,000 men on the battle front, 1,600,000 in the depots
as a second line; and filled every village and hamlet for 30
miles behind the trenches with reserves ready to die for
France; the spirit which has been too proud to establish a
press bureau to flood this and other neutral countries with
please for sympathy.
The Spirit of a Free People!
A PROBLEM NOWHERE NEAR SOLVED
Charles P. Steinmetz, the famous electrical expert of the
General Electric Co., says that "we have solved the problem
of transporting materials" and airily passes us to another
problem unsolved.
Think again, Steinmetzy! We have not solved the trans
portation problem by a long shot. The high cost of living is
very largely the high cost of transportation. The high cost
of transportation is due to a lot of things. In efficiency,
watered stock, extravagance, all enter into it but the greatest
cause is the last of inventions greatly cheapening transporta
tion systems.
When millions of dollars worth of food lay rotting in the
fields and orchards of nearly every state every November, no
man can say that the problem of transportation has been
solved in this country.

The volume of my correspondence has grown so rapidly in
the last few months that a further systematizing of my work Is
necessary.
For that reason I shall receive office callers hereafter only
on Wednesdays, between 11a. ni. unci 4p. m. Tin's,, hours I willi
keep open lor visitor* to the office, with the ho|ie that many of
my friends will come to me ln person with their questions, but on
other days I shall have to limit my services to replying by mall.
. CYNTHIA GREY.
Q. —What does "et al" mean? I have often noticed it la
legal forms. CURIOUS.
A.—This abbreviation means "and others."
Q. —Can you tell me who has the choloe of the minister,
the bride or the groom? PEARL.
A.—The groom makes all arrangements and pays the fee, but
he consults the bride as to her choice.
Q. —I am a girl of 21) and have been going with a man much
older than myself. We were very fond of each other, but now
he has stopped coming and does not tell me the reason. Shouldn't
he tell me why he doesn't come? How am Ito treat him when
he does come, for he is a friend of the family and they like him
very much? Does this give me the freedom to go with other
boys?
What harm does sage do to the hair? R. R.
A.—You are entitled to some sort of explanation from "the
"friend of the family." When he Is a visitor at your home show him
all dne respect and courtesy that yon would extend to any other guest,
but do not go out of your way. You Iwve tl . privilege of accepting
the uttenlion of any man you please until you are engaged.
Sage tea Is not Injurious to the hair—that Is, if used occasion
ally and moderately. On the other hand, it acts as sort of a tonic and
tends to darken the hair.
Q. —Will corduroy suits be worn this winter? What other
materials will be good? MRS. T.
A.—Corduroy saite wiU lie worn. This material Is usually made
Into sport suits, and consequently such suits are not so suitable for
dress wear as lhi.se of velvet, broadcloth or some of the smooth fin
ished clotlis. Wool poplins, serges and gabardine* are also very
stylish.
Dear Miss Grey I appreciate the criticism in "Nemo's" let
ter"; but no one can be perfectly happy and at the same time be
a slave to appetite, passion arid the huge army of the world's
desires. Happiness is only attained when we become free from
the nagging prod of desire-
Dcs Carthes says—"Nothing Is at our disposal except our
tho..ghts. All that Is necessary to right action Is right judg
ment." Nothing, absolutely nothing is ln tha oontrol of man
but his will. One cannot control eternal circumstances, but ona
may control the effeot these circumstances produce upon tho
mind.
No man can be happy who is attached to eternal objects. Ho
who Is master of his desires and Is attached to virtue can bo
happy,
Eplctetus says: "Freedom and slavery, the one la the name
of virtue and the other of vice,'and both are acts of the will, for
no man Is a slave who is tree In his will."
Such a philosophy Is not negative, for It does not disparage
effort. On the contrary, It (encourages effort and guides It Into
the right channels. Work and struggle as those work and
struggle who do so for selfish gain, but realize the unity of all.
Work for the happiness of all, and when you have done your best,
rest the remit with God. The Hindus express this mental state
as "non attachment to action."
Buddha said: "Happy Is hs who has ceased to live for
pleasure and rests in the troth. Verily his composure and tran
quility of mind are the highest bliss. Further —practice truth
that thy brother is the same as thee."
Desire and will are tho two phases of mind power and wo
must develop both of them In order to get the best results. Thoss
whose wills from reason steps aside from the emotional part of
their nature s.id then reasons out the "to act or not to act" la
this way wo create desire which moves tbe will, for we acquire
the art of converting reason Into dssire, a feat possible to all.

OUTBURSTS OF EVERETT TRUE
WILSON VS. ROOT, THEY SAY
The frost is on the pumpkin, our finger tips are begin
ning to tingle and the blood of the politician is stirring a lit
tle —just a little with national politics.
Cor.gress is to meet in a few weeks and president makers
are up and doing in Washington. From the national capitol
some early news drifts this way.
Only one name is to be presented to the national demo
cratic convention when it meets six or seven months hence.
President Wilson is not a candidate but he will be RENOM
INATED BY ACCLAMATION despite tho one-term plan
Bill Bryan jammed into the Baltimore platform in 1912.
Over on the republican side, they say Grandpa Elihu
Root is to be the G. O. P. nominee, and that the republican
issue is to be the tariff and protection to the POOR LITTLE'
INFANT INDUSTRIES which have struggled into life as a
result of the war.
So there you are! How are ye goin' to vote?
TAOKLE SOMETHING EASIER, ALF!
One Alfred Bryan, author of that touching ballad "I
didn't raise my boy to be a soldier," is engaged in, or at
tempting to start, a controversy with Theodore Roosevelt
through the columns of the New York World The last public
letter Mr. Bryan authored was real pungent, we might almost
Bay, rude. ,
We haven't much sympathy to waste on either side, but
if Mr. Bryan will not take it amiss, we would like to proffer
the suggestion that he is engaging in a most ticklish business
for any boy who wasn't raised to be a soldier. That Roose
velt man is bad medicine. If you don't believe it, ask
Barnes, of New York. ,
Win. Waldorf Astor, who, 20 years ago declared America
"no place for a gentleman to live" and became British, is be
ing war taxed over $1,000,000 per year, and his ancestors
were Germans. Must make Bill awful mad.

CONFESSIONS
OF A WIFE
|(up>rl_le(, IBIS, by Nam-paper
Kule rprlav \-■uelnllon.)
For the first time since I have
known Jim, he seemed embar
rassed today.
He seemed to think he owed an
apology to someone for lending
me that money—and yet you,
little book, being unprejudiced,
know what it was I who should
apologize for putting htm in that
position, but I don't mind telling
you that I don't feel a bit like do
ing so.
A man said to me the other
night (by the way, I believe It
was Jim, himself) —"You see,
Margie, it's all mixed up," and he
was right. You can't lay down a
set of rules that will apply to
everyone, and Dick should know
perfectly well that where It might
be wrong to borrow money of
some people. It was all right at
this time ln this case.
"Dlok Intimates, Margie, that If
I have thousands of dollars to
lend to pretty women ln distress,
I might at least let my male j
chums know that It can be drawn
upon by them. I told him that up
to date he had never Intimated he
was in tne slightest need of any
thing from love to money, said
Jim when I came ln and while the
lawyers were fixing things up.
It seemed to -tne there was a
tiny meaning that was a bit sinis
ter ln his voice, but going back
again to the time when Jim said:
"Things are all mixed up," I re
membered that at that time he
had also said, "Women never paid
enough attention to the things
that were really spoken, they
were so busy looking for the mo
tives behind," and I put the Idea
out of my head.
"What do you think, Jim,"
asked Dick, "about Margie set
ting herself up as a business
woman and making investments
without consulting me? Would
you like a wife like that?"
"I certainly would not," said
Jim, emphatically. I looked up
In great surprise.
"Why, Jim," I began, "you
know you encouraged me by lend
ing me the money."
"Now, look here, Margie, I
don't want you to draw me into
this discussion, but you ought to
know, after having lived with
Dick for as many years as you
have that a man may think a
thing la perfectly right in the
other man's wife, but he would
not want his wife to do It."
"Oh, Jim, I never thought that
of you."
"But, Margie, It is perfectly
true," ohlmed in Dick. "I won
der why we can never make a
woman understand that."
"Soodness, how many stand
ards have you men for women?
Tou seem to have one for yosr
mothers, one for your .sisters, one
for your sweethearts, one for
your wives and one for the rest
ef the sex."
By the time I had said this We
were at the bank and the inheri
tance was turned over to me. 1
immediately transferred the
money to my own account, and ai
careful as Jim had been when he
lent me the money, I drew the
oub and handed it to Dick.
"Why, what's this?" Dick
asked In surprise.
"That's the money I owe Jim."
'Why dont you give him a
check?"
"Because he gave it to me ln
bills."
For a perceptible second there
wag silence, and then Dick hand
ed the money to Jim and said,
"Thanks, old man," In a rather
peculiar kind of voice.
Little book, I have come to the
conclusion that a man will for
give a hurt to his love sooner
than he will to his pride, and in
that he is only human, for I, too,
feel that Dick's neglect hurts my
pride more than anything else.
You see, I don't want Dick to
love anything or anyone but me.
I said that to Mrs. Selwln the
other day and she answered:
"Nonsense, my dear. You must
