One Of the greatest prices Europe
is going to pay for this war Is not
in lives OF men she Is now giving,
but in the blasted lives of mothers
, and children at home and In the lives
Of generations yet unborn
The tense nerves of mothers and
sisters who form the standing army
Of fighting nations are consumed by
anxiety and worry. This tensity Of
nerve Is closing up the secreting and
absorbing glands Of the digestive sys-
tenn as in a wise. The worry, Jealousy
and hatred are exciting chemical &C
tivity which is eliminating subtle
poison into the system. This poison
still further interferes with digestion
and nourishment.
The babe at the breast Is absorbing
the poison. Is feeding upon milk lack
ing in nutrition and IL becoming fret
full as a result. This fretfulness gen.
crates poisons within the child, and
the nourishment, during the first years
of a child's life. often determines the
habit Of digestion of future years.
So long as the tales Of carnage are
related at the Preside in years to
come. just SO long will hatred be en-
gendered. will poisons be eliminated
into the system. will digestion and as
simila tion be interfered with, and the
bodily resistance lowered.
Let every American parent, every
physician who guards our health. be
devoutly thankful for the strict CEN
sorship Of news from abroad. By this
censorship We are saved many har-
rowing tales Of carnage and suffering
which never reach our fresfde. The
things We imagine harrow US suffl-

women and children they are more
susceptible. the health or these 10
more seriously affected. and no nation
Is greater than tho strength Of it's
mothers and its children.
Under-nourished bodies lack resist
ance and become a prey to disease.
Havoc would indeed be wrought
should contagion and pestilence break
out among those at home as well as
among those at the trenches.
Results of this titanic struggle are
going to be felt in the nations at war
for generations to come. News Of the
bloody battles, stories OF untold hard
ships endured by the men in the
trenches and the women at home. are
appalling to all of US. More appalling
Is the thought of what all this suf-
fering means to the women, consumed
with anxiety. at home.
Just as worry, jealousy, hatred, fear
and anxiety are destructive to health.
SO are sympathy. love and kindness
constructive. The giving-Siving of
self-incites growth, opens up the
glands. promotes digestion and en-
courages body nutrition. 1t Is the
history Of the, ten talents"-give-
use-and ye receive.
There must indeed come a great
spiritual awakening Of faith and trust
and love to lift these fighting nations
from destruction to construction of
health and peace. As far as in US
lies, let US awaken the trust, arouse
the faith! Every time you build trust
and faith and love you are a ply
stefan stimulating circulation and
body resistance.

Marriage may be regarded az an Incl
dent and not as a career"
THE woman of active interests, pro-
gressive ideas and eager thoughts of ac-
complishments wreck fewer homes than
the frivolous. vain doll whose life reaches
its accomplishment In marriage.
"A mans mental needs are as strong
as are his physical ones. and the purely
domestic woman is stupid indeed when
she fails to stimulate that need.
THE traditional women of the kitchen
and the sewing basket alone have not
been the greatest mothers, nor have they
welded the biggest influence on men in
history"
So says Miss Marie Van Worst. the
noted novelist.
Because the American woman is not
hampered and enslaved by marriage-and
never will be-this Is no reason why
she should not make the highest type Of
mother and the most efficient wife" con-
tinued Miss Van Worst. 1.-The greatest

In Miss Van Vorst's opinion all the cx-

the fact that her demands upon the man

was declared she was busy writing

the training course for army nurses and
passed her examinations at the head Of

STAYS AND HIGH HEELS

SAYS MISS COCROFT
Society Women Practice Correct
Walking at Lesson on Poise
at the Willard.

Miss Susanna Cocroft won q place
in che hearts of the little women and
the big women at her lesson on poise
and correct walking at the willard
Hotel yesterday morning. when she
took a firm stand in favor. Of high
heels and stays.
High heels and corsets are q bless
ing to women" said Miss Cocroft,
taking q position eptirely Independent
of any other health specialist.
She espoused the cause Of high heels
because, as she said. the high heel,
extending forward under the arch Of
the foot, acted as a beneficial support
and greatly aided women In walking
properly. She said the stratght-line
corset was another aid to correct
walking, as it prevented that awkward
of the hips which ruins &hs
walk Of so many women.
Miss Cocroft also made plea for
rhythmic poise. the silent body" n
she called 1t. She said the noise and
confusion Of the streets, with their
hustle and hustle, deprived people in
the cities of that mental and physical
balance necessary to the highest ltv-

II Face Powder InIuriou..


Miss B. writes: My mother objects
to my using powder on the face. Is 1t
injurious?"
Theoretically, the pores of the skin
should be kept open: should never
be clogged with either dirt or pow
der, but unless the skin Is kept per-
fectly clean, which is almost impos-
sible tf 1t is not washed many times
a day, the pores will fill, either with
the natural oil that is being secreted
from the skin constantly, or by dirt
from the atmosphere. Powder is very
much more cleanly than either. It
is wise not to use rice powder be-
cause the cells of this powder ex-
pand and are inclined to enlarge the
pores Of the skin. Be very sure to
use but the least biz. anc never use
