WHAT OF CHRIST?
"What Would Christ Dos" Is
Question Debs HurIS.
Takes OutcaSt Girl Into Own
Home to Live.

Terre Haute, Ind, July 5.-A chal-
lenge to Christians and hypocrites to
come into the open in their true colors,
to live up to the standards they have
professed or admit that their charity is
only a cloak" was issued to Terre
Haute by Eugene Debs, the socialist
leader, today.
Debs took from the city Jail Helen
Cox, daughter of Methodist preacher.
one prominent in Indiana, who had
been arrested for Immortality. Debs
after publicly announcing that he
would open his home to the girl and
that she must be received by friends
of his family one of his children,
issued what he called his challenge
to the christianity of Terre Haute-''
Recently the girl eloped with the son
of a prominent family and was mar
ried.
Later the young man divorced her
and took her child away from her. The
other night she was arrested on the
street and had been in Jail for three
days when Debs was permitted, as an
emergency probation officer, to take
her home with him.
This girl has been prosecuted" de-
clared Debs in a public statement
will Terre Haute help her. or will its
organized force be used to drive her to
desperation?
Let Ierre daute ask, WnaI houlo
Christ Dor
Our family has opened our home to
her.
''The police have told her that she
must keep off the streets or go to the
red light district. Do the police mean
to get recruits for the red light dis
trict? If that is the police policy toward
women, then to be consistent the police
should compel immoral men who stand
on the streets to stay in the red light
district. The men who hunt girls are
more dangerous to society than women.
TT is time for this pitiless cruelty to
stop Why not war on the immoral
people in high life instead of persecut-
ing this penniless girl
Mrs. Debs, in accordance with her
invariable custom, refused to talk for
publication. 1t is known, however, that
the girl was taken into the Debs home
with Mrs DebS' full accord.

thing of poser is it not, when you
commence to count the times you
forestall an almost uuauswcrabIc
question with white lie or a mis-.
leading retort, which, while not 4
lie, is also not the truth?
Polite lying and the lodging OF
the truth, which amounts to practi-
cally the same thing, has society in
its clutches. If folks told the truth
on every subject which is given them
to discuss and comment upon, 1t
seems as though this world would be

and all occasions makes more trou-
bic and unhappiness than ten such
people are worth.
On the other hand, there Is no one
more rtghtfully despised than that
person whose word may never be dc,

as to say that II people were truth
full, absolutely so, in all their words

But how are you to inspire child
with love of the truth when you do
not hesitate to tell him untruths
which for one reason and another,
you consider legitimate? 1t has been
the custom for ages to rear child
on one set of ideas until he is con-

truth, and then If he has not gath

parents and start all, over again on

Now believe in Santa Claus and

cultivate sentiment, imagination

but hold, too, that when child is
old enough to form a question in
his own mind about different phases
OF life and living that he should be
answered as fully as his understand

little time and thought and it will
be seen that 1t can be answered
without telling him an untruth and
without enlightening him in a

Miladv's Mirror,

Exercise is a splendid skin tonic.
A brisk walk, no matter IL in the
rain, will freshen the complexion,
even as it freshens the flowers. and
simple aperient will do wonders
for a muddy skin. 1t remains for
all women to preserve such beauty
as they have and to cure the defects
which are peculiar to them or that
time has wrought. Every skin is
different and must be treated ac-
cordingly, and it takes a reasoning
woman to experiment carefully and
find out the proper method Of treat
ment for her skin,
Lack of sleep ages woman pos
sibly more than anything else.
Most women who are inclined to be
nervous require from eight to nine
hours. Six or seven hours of rest
suffice for others. The hours before
midnight contain the magic wherein
beauty is dispensed freely-one hour
before IL will do more good than
two afterward.
Sleep without a pillow if possible,
or very small one Of couch size.
The feet should be higher than
the head. This makes the flow Of
blood over the heart even. Sleep on
your right side, with the limbs out
stretched and the arms down at the
side rather than over the head
which, it is said, encourages bad
dreams.
