Whenever there is “a woman in the

Whenever a woman is really angry
with another she always refers to her

What we’ve never understood is why
a woman with a good complexion will
insist on hiding it by daubing her
<cheeks with paint.
It certainly is funny why a man
thinks a short skirt looks fine on his
neighbtor’s wife, but doesn’t like it
at all on his own wife.
A man with troubles of his own J
never has any sympathy for other
people with troubles, because ho
thinks his are the biggest and worst
of all.

troops are being sent across to help
defeat the Hun.
Now that the women have adopted

GIRLS ARE NOT WANTED.
Everybody who knows conditions
abroad wants young girls to keep out
of them. This “everybody” includes
the governments of England, France
and America, the Red Cross and the
Y W. C. A., all the canteen and re
lief organizations outside these.
I
Says a recent dispatch from Wash,
ington:
“At the State and War Deparments
it was stated an amazing thing is the
i
number of young girls seeking pass
ports with the consent of parents.
The departments take the position that
the parents cannot have any realiza-
i
tion of conditions over there or else
they would never consent to a daugh
ter’s attempt to follow the troops. Of
ficials wholly agree with Miss Betty
Scott, Y. W. C. A. investigator, who
is warning mothers of the perils to
I
girls in the war zone. The govern
ment emphasizes that the presence
of unassigned women is not only un
desirable, but a positive handicap to
winning the war.”
The government put a stop to the
transportation of relatives of men in
the army. There is not a law to pre
vent civilians from making nuisances
of themselves. •
A limited number of women workers
is needed. No one under thirty comes
under this head. Women between
thirty-five and forty are preferred, i
There are parents who say proudly,
*•* I
‘ I could trust my daughter anywhere.” '
Undoubtedly this is true. But no
1 I
j amount of training, of trustworthiness,
takes the place of years of life. There
are certain qualifications which can
be attained by nothing else than by
living through years and seeing other
people live through them.
This country is crying for young
' women workers. Every young girl
employed in an office oj factory re
| leases a man or mature woman for
| duties closer to the war.
' Especially are girls needed in hos
*j. italsi And exception ip made of ■
I nurses needed abroad. Nurses, be
cause of their soldierly training and
duties and organization, are in a dif
ferent class in the matter of self-con
trol and other matters.
1 Keep the girls at work at home
' Let mature women do the work
abroad.
TELLING THEM THE TRUTH.
Our old German propagandist friend,
Dr. Bernhard, isn't such a bad fellow
' after all. In America we found him
a rather objectionable character, but
lin darkest Germany he looks like an
i
angel of light. He has been emitting
truth and sense. j 1
Speaking in Frankfort lately. Dr.
1 Dernburg attacked the strong Father-'
land iparty, which controls Germany
today.
“It is against the foe within as
the foe without that we must
fight,” he said. “The whole power
Fatherland party is in the hands
of reactionary despots, men who ;
I uphold despotic government, un
; equal suffrage and class privilege.
This party has developed into a
powerful weapon against prog
i ress, with the press of the land
owners (Junkers) and the great j
1 interests as its organ. Witness
| the saying of the notorious Herr
| von Oldenburg-Janushau: ‘lf we
i . get equal suffrage in Prussia, then
we have lost the war.’ We de
mand more liberty.”
He urges peace without aggrandize
ment or indemnity, for Germany’s own
' good.
“You can take away territory
from a state,” he told his hear
ers. “but you can’t compel it to
exchange goods with you. A dic
tated peace according to the Fath
erland model would make the En
tente Alliance permanent. Then
the whole world would stand in
arms against us, and we should
have to meet the expense of ever
increasing armaments involving
annually some 12,000.000,000
marks. Even now our air service
’ is costing us more than our entire
i army did in peace time. A war
J indemnity is not to be thought of.”
He would give up the conquered
strip of France, iron ore and all. “The
I value of the ore that lies in the prov
r; inces of Briey and Longwy has been
»! estimated by erperts,” he says, “and
■ it amounts to as much as we spend (
r in 25 days of war.” Surely nothing to
I |
hold out for! As for Germany’s col-

onies, all she ever got out of them in
a year would only pay Germany’s war
expenditure for one day from eight in
the morning till six at night.
Not a word of morality, honesty and
decency toward the outside world, you
observe. His morals are merely util
itarian. He wants Germany to stop
! fighting and behav? herself to prevent
her own destruction. But it's some
i thing to tell Germans even such ma
terial truths as those. They can grasp
■ i
! them, when they couldn’t grasp ideas
of abstract honor.
I
He's doing what we'd do if we had
a chance.

THE SOONER THE BETTER.
I
Dr. Alonzo Taylor, of the federal food
administration, recently said that our
'consumption of wheat is nearly nor
mal in spite of the saving effected by .
great numbers of our people. The
' same thing has been true in England, '
where 20 per cent, of Britain's popu
lation—the upper twenty—saved 29
per cent, of wheat, while the total
consumption increased 5 per cent. The
reason is that the workers naturally
eat the most nutritive food they can ’
1 get at the cheapest price, and wheat
| products fall in that class.
i I
' It's up to the folks who can afford
' to buy fresh vegetables and fruits and
! cereals other than wheat to cut down
; their wheat ration to a good deal less
than the allotted amount per person.
! There are masses of people who have
: to eat the wheat or suffer from lack of :
I proper nourishment. It is the others
who must do the conserving.
Summer is coming on with its veg
etable gardens and fresh fruits. There
will be greater opportunity to save
wheat by eating other foods. And
whether that were true or not, we've '
go to do it. As Dr. Taylor expressed
it: “The sooner we get into our sav-
1 ing stride the better.”
' After fighting the Overman bill—
I which meant, of course, a fight against
i the president—the junior senator fi
nally voted for it, which was about as'
I consistent as he usually is.

A GIFT WORTH HAVING.
A Wall street banker who is some-■
thing of a book collector sent in a I
volume for the soldiers'' library. It:
happened to be a first edition of Whit
tier’s poemn, a rare book of great
value. The board asked the donor if
they might sell the book at its market
value, and use the money to buy oth- ,
ers less expensive which the army lads
would probably like just as well.
"Please don’t,” replied the banker
, “I’ll give you a check to buy all the
ether books you want. I won’t miss
the money. But I’m giving this book
because it is a sacrifice, and I want
it to go directly into the hands of the
boys in France, because I think may
be one of them will prize it as I do.’”
There is a story the public has need
ed to hear. Too many books are given
not because they’re worth anything,
not because they’re expected to inter
est the soldiers, but because the own
ers are tired of seeing the maround.
It should hardly be necessary to re
peat that the way to give books to
soldiers—or to anybody else, for that
matter —is to give books that the
giver himself likes and values.
This is the soundest principle of all
philanthropy. And it should be ap
plied to every phase of the war. We
! have got to give many things. What
we are fighting for, what we expect
from the war, is so great and precious
that no trivial or casual sacrifices
will buy it. We have got to give what
we value most. We have got to give
till it hurts, and then keep on giv
ing. The hurt itself is part of the
price we pay.
And would you ever have expected
to learn that from Wall street?
Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local application!, a« they cannot reach
the diseased portion ot.the ear. There is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness,
and that is by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
. inflamed you have a rumbling sound or Im
-1 perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed. Deafness is the result. Unless the
. Inflammation can be reduced and thia tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing I
| will be destroyed forever Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which is
' an inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru
I the blood on the mucous surfaces of the 1
system ‘

“A SPLENDID TONIC”
Says Hixson Lady Who, On Doc*
tor’s Advice, Took Cardui
And Is Now Well.
Hixson, Tenn.— “About 10 years ago
I was...” says Mrs. J. B. Gadd, of
this place. “I suffered with a pain in
my left side, could not sleep at night
with this pain, always in the left
side...
My doctor told me to use Cardui. I
took one bottle, which helped me and
after my baby came, I was stronger
and better, but the pain was still
there.
I at first let it go, but began to get
weak and in a run-down condition,
so I decided to try some more Cardui,
which I did.
This last Cardui which I took made
me much better, in fact, cured me. It
has been a number of years, still I
have no return of this trouble.
I feel it was Cardui that cured me,
and I recommend it as a splendid fe
male tonic.’’
Don’t allow yourself to become
weak and run-down from womanly
troubles. Take Cardui. It should sure
ly help you, as it has so many thou
sands of other women in the past 40
years. Headache, backache, sideache,
nervousness, sleeplessness, tired-out
feeling, are all signs of womanly trou
ble. Other women get relief by taking
Cardui. Why not you? A’l druggists.
