ALCOHOL. SHOT AND SHELL.

The Reformer, a paper of Western
Australia, writes of the effects of in
toxicating drinks in the expeditionary
force of that state as follows:
A little time ago 10000 troops were
medically certified as sound in wind
and limb. Then alcohol began to put
In it's fine work, and in short time
1000 of them, either for behavior or
sickness, were dismissed. Their
places were soon filled, but neither
the citizens nor the soldiers had learn
ed their lesson, and SO whisky or
beer was still regarded as the bond
of good-fellowship, and the test OF
hospitality. Then came along pneu-
monia, that dread daughter of alco-
AZ ism. 1t was pneumonia in the
camp, pneumonia at Albany, pneu-
mr. ia on the sea, and pneumonia be-
meath the shadow of the pyramids.
ss5zav t4rdily recovered, others were
laid beneath the turf or the wave be-
fore ever they saw the flash of Turk
iah sword or heard the burst of Ger
man bomb.
Alcoholism and pneumonia indeed
can scarcely be separated, and the
foremost physicians of England now
are saying that they look upon the
previous alcoholic condition Of a pa
tent as the arbiter of his life when
attacked by pneumonia. This first
blood in our war was drawn, not by
the bayonets of the enemy, but by
the folly of ourselves. The foolish
hospitality Of the people and the
drinking dens of the state joined
hands in destroying our defenders.

WOMAN WHO WAITS.

I sit and wait for you, dear, my dear.
Now the sun Is low;
From the far-off town the path runs clear
And the way you know
The old. old way that brought you here
In the long ago.
It is all very well to talk of not
being in hurry to we'd; that young
woman should summer and winter q
year, or many more. the eager lover
who lays siege to her heart. Yet, there
are justly many sides to be considered
for those who intend to step to the al
tar some day.
Single people. especially young wom-
en-, are not sufficiently self-willed to
disregard the opinion of well-meahing
friends who instill their own expert
ences into their unknowing minds.
But when there Is long period of
waiting in prospect, and beaux come
a-knocking at her door, her girlish
ardor should not be checked by jolly

ing of val. The sleeves are made sep.
arately and decorated with beading
edged with val. Ribbon is run in the
beading and tied in little bows. with
hanging loops and ends. by way of
dainty decoration.
The three little figures sketched in
the picture suggest gowns more sim
ply trimmed but equally pretty. Each
borrows the refinement Of lace and the
glow of color In ribbons, and each is
gracefully cut. Thus they embody at
fractions that merit the interest and
the admiration that women always &C

Crepe de chine and wash silks are
having a considerable vogue In under

A NEW FAITH.

Although Mai. Dan Morgan Smith
of Chicago was never personally adj
dicted to the use of strong drink, yet
he was for several years the able gen.
eral counsel Of the Model License
league. He is now a jealous advocate
of temperance, and thus writes: ar
guments that once seemed so plaus-
ible have failed me; for the founda-
ton of my faith and the corner stone
of my arguments was the failure of
regulation and the success Of prohibit
ton. My faith is gone and my corner
stone is displaced. my structure has
fallen, and 1t remains for me to help
build another, founded on new faith,
with corner stone as enduring as
the truth, and that faith shall be
called Temperance, and the corner
stone shall be Annihilation. shall
never make another speech In behalf
of the Model License league. I am
through with the wet side. My intel
ligence insists upon it; my conscience
demands It,"

ing her into the belief that better
ones will come along. more to her
advantage, If she bides her time and
waits.
Opportunity, 1t has been said,
knocks at the door but once in life
time for some. Others scarcely know
what it is not to be noticed. They
keep constant list of bright, enter
tanning young men who are only too
glad to pass a lively evening at their
firesides in winter and lounge content
eddy In coy nook on the cool porch
In summers twilight.
If we are to take the words of one
Of the Oldest poets for evidence as to
why there are many who are kept
waiting and from marrying, we should
learn, Whom first we love we seldom
we'd" There is, indeed, more truth
than poetry in this plant. The first
young man who presents himself
might well be considered very inter-
esting study to the unsophisticated
maiden. She has an idea that she is
in duty bound to fall fervently in love
with her first constant admirer Her
world of companions had been small.
She has not been brought in contact
with other young men. Because of
not being out of her teens, she has
not come in contact and conversed
with any of them.
She has not the least knowledge of
the kind of man she would fancy most
and love afterward. She has no one
to contrast him with. 1t is therefore
more difficult to discern If they are
suited for each other or not; what
faults there are, or good qualities.
There comes a parting of their ways.
Another sutton puts in an appearance
the following year.
She has grown wiser in the ways OF
men who make for happiness. There
is no mistaking her own heart when,
after year or SOS courtship the ques-
ton is popped She believes in certain
indications which seems to warn her
of defects and fickleness; and straight.
way, keeping to her resolve not to
waste another year, she discourages
his advances and is heart free and
fancy whole.
So the years glide by of her youth
time. Instead of being the wife of a
congenial, thrifty, loving mate, she
fears she is for all time to come to
live and wait with regret alone. Only
is disconnected life barely avoided
when some one of her early lovers
unfortunately loses his helpmate and
makes lasting appeal for her to wed
and brighten the lonely home, Happy
is she who, while not jumping at the
first sutton, wisely makes her choice
by not waiting too long.

In the matter Of lingerie one may
choose between much-trimmed or lit
tle-trimmed garments, providing they
are made of sheer, well-woven cotton
or linen fabrics. The great majority
are made of cotton because 1t is cheap
er than linen, is just as good-looking,
and does not muss SO easily. Linen Is
thought to be more durable and is
therefore sometimes selected for lin
gerie which is to be hand-embroidered
By comparison with cotton fabrics,
such as fine voiles, woven of hard
twisted thread. durability lies rather
in favor of cotton.
The best known tub fabrics include
nainsook, batiste, long cloth, wolfe,
null, lawn and the fine cotton crepes.
One Of the first three named is chosen
for the great bulk of all lingerie
An empire gown Of nainsook, with
body and sleeves Of narrow val inser-
ton, is pictured here. A narrow bead

body and serves to carry the narrou

responsible the design, the better the
negligee seems to fulfill it's destiny
which Is just to be pretty.
These house gowns are easy to
make, as may be gathered from the
very good example shown in the pic
ture. A long, plated skirt is set on
to a short baby waist having elbow
sleeves covered with rows of plating
that are edged with narrow lace. A
wide ribbon girdle, with rosette bow
at the front, is tackled over the join
ing of the waist and skirt.
A coatee of shadow lace, with draped
sleeve, adds the final touch of dainti-
ness and new style feature at the
same time. Light pink crepe and
cream-white lace make as good
color combination as any, but one
may consider becomingness and en-
vironment and choose whatever is
most pleasing.
Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1915-07-23

Now that the filmiest of laces are
made by wonderful machinery and are
so plentiful and so cheap, every wom-
an should indulge herself in dainty
negligee. If ever there lived a wom-
an without longing for this strictly
feminine and most luxurious of be-
longings she must have been feeble
minded, for every well-balanced daugh-
ter of Eve acknowledges their fascina-
ton.
The most enticing Of negligees are
made of crepe de chine or thin, sup
pie silk, with laces and ribbons.
Color plays so important a part in
the makeup of these garments that
the fabric is the second consideration.
All the beautiful and rich colors may
be set down as available, and the more
fiowerlike the better. Also the more
frilly and frivolous and altogether ir-

puts this suggestion into words that
are well worth passing on.
Tell the lumber men of Michigan, he
says, how many thousands of drinking
farmers will single their homes and
barns OF build new ones as soon as
they quit their meanness." Tell the
shoe manufacturer of Massachusetts
what it means to take all the bare
feet of drunkards' children off the
ground. Tell the iron men of Penn
sylvania that new stoves will be need
ed In 100000 homes when the saloon
keeper ceases to get the money, and
tell the miners they will have work
all winter through getting coal enough
to put into those stoves. Tell the wool
growers of Ohio that everybody in this
country is going to be wrapped in
wooden and sleep under blankets when
the billiards. blow, and the men no
longer heat up with Liquid fire" in or
der to exterminate their families with
atmospheric cold. Tell the cattle rails
ers of the West and stockyards men
in Chicago that there is going to be
beef on thousands of tables, where
now there are few cold potatoes. Tell
the grocer he can sell for cash and say
good-by to bad debts when the dimes
no longer go into the saloon till. Tell
the farmers there is going to be an
unheard of demand for flour and meal.

beer drinkers cease fostering that in

FOR THE SAKE OF OUR BOYS.

A mother having expressed her re

preacher on the prohibition question,

woman, it is not necessary to urge
it. 1t is right and is sure to come.
1t may be twenty or, perhaps, ten
years, but what matters few years.

ing description of it, was disappoint-
ed. Wifey had been lured by the
promise of large, roomy place, food
ed with golden sunshine by day and
swept by cooling breezes by night and
spacious ground for the children to
play in. There were no signs to keep
off the grass. The table was to be laden
with fresh vegetables and fruits, which
the boarders could actually watch
growing, and as for pure milk and
fresh eggs, they should accompany
the other good things as matter of
course.
Hubby was content to suffer in the
heat of the city, sleep on lounge on
the screened back porch hearing that
the family was comfortably situated
and enjoying the benefits of the coun-
try to the full. It's an unlucky omen
to the wife If her little daughter offers
to relieve her for once from writing

eggs for breakfast for the first time,
but over night they turned into the
cutest, dearest little yellow chicks.

but no one will sell ma any. Ma al

with him long time before ma saw

lieving the boy was coming down with
the measles, but he was only In pain
from eating little green apples off the
trees in the orchard. He did want
fruit so much.
How / wish we were back in our
nice, cool home where we could have
our own rooms, and soft, white little
beds, and all we wanted of good things
to eat. You can't come any too soon
to suit Bobby and me-to take us
away from here"
The husband and father arrived on
the very next train. 1t Is rarely that
the family that has suffered so many
hardships insists upon finding another
boarding place, all are usually well
pleased to cut the vacation short, and
get back to the comforts and joys of
home, sweet home.
Moral: Don't take the alluring ads

MATRIMONIAL DELUsloNs.

proved;
Like one who with the grape within his
grasp
Drops it with all its crimson juice I'M
pressed.
And all its luscious sweetness LETT AEs
Out from his careless and Embedding
clasp.
More than half of the sorrows OF
the world are caused by slips of girls
wedding boyish young fellows, who mis-.
took in their own hearts youthful
fancy for love. the great passion which
makes or mars life.
Such young husbands often earn
good salaries, but spend their money
for show and pride's display, leaving
scarcely anything for support. When
only welded a short time, the result
is the poor young bride undergoes the
necessity of breaking up their tiny
home. around which so many fond
hopes were built, when their honey.
moon was blissful, and returning
humbly to the parental roof.
From that time and ever afterward
mind that matrimonial life is part and
parcel Of delusion. She never stops
to make an account of the great mum.
Der of happy, welded unions, her
parents, friends and any number OF
happy girl friends too numerous to
count. included. Why are all of these
dear ones SO happy while her
lot turned out so miserably? She
asks her one-time chum, who
married before she did, and is
as prosperous and happy as one
could wish to be. There is a rea-
son for 1t, my DEAR" was the earnest
reply. you are as much to blame
for the disruption of all you once held
sacred as he is. You encouraged your
young husband to take you to theaters.
balls and little social affairs to your
hearts content when you were mar
ried fortnight You dressed expen-
sively and, Of course, he was obliged
to engage cab or conveyance, buy
white slippers. fluffy frocks and hats"
If he is young man of wealth, OF
course, he may not mind these SEEM
ingly trifiing expenses when he is new
ly wed. But If he has to make his
way in the world, count his dollars
economically to make his ends meet.
he Is frightened over the melting away
of his finances and In despair over
the stumbling block In his path. What
wonder is 1t that man of moderate
means in such straits is forced to give
up all that he once held dear in his
mighty love and go forth to commence
all over again. while she returns, sad
der and wiser, to the old folks at
home, discontinued and disillusioned?
Young women cannot corral all rich
husbands and loving hearts too. Young
women fix the standard Of their ambi-
ton to worth of character. principle,
instead OF wealth. which vanishes, and
spending money to enhance their van
ity. There are many single men who
want wives to help them build up
their future joys. Matrimonial delu-
sions with them are when they meet
the would-be butterfly sort OF girls.
Laughter and high, gay spirits OF
youthful women appeal to them. De-
lusions do not enter happy, loving
helpmeets hearts. free from Mammor
and vanities.
