AN S WE RS
BY CYNTHIA GREY

Al don't blame you for feel
ing "a bit peeved. Evidently your
wife wants to play safe" which-
ever way she jumps. l think you
are right. II she wants to leave
she'd better leave for good. It's
up to her to find out what she
wants to do before she starts.
OF course IL You were very
much i'm love with HER, you
would not ask what to do, You
would either tell her you couldn't
bear to have her leave you or else
you would tell her to go and give
her the privilege of returning. At
least that would probably be what
a woman would do.
1t occurs 10 me that 1t is absurd
for either of you to consider
parting of the ways. Instead,
why don't you both make up your
minds to help the other be happy?
Why don't you go out with her
sometimes even IL You do wish
to stay home.
Probably III the truth were told,
she has stayed home home till she
Is sick and tired of 1t. Maybe
you've been sleeping at the switch
instead of doing your share to
make her happy. Perhaps life has
been very humdrum for her and
perhaps you are partly to blame.
Have you been selfish and self
conferred? Think IL over and talk
it over. The difference i'm ages
should have nothing to do with
the question.

Dear Miss Grey: Let me
suggest a remedy for double
chin asked for by one OF
your readers.
Turn the head VERY
slowly from right to left as
far as possible, not more than
10 times, doing 1t whenever
you think OF it, but never
less than twice a day-grad-
ually increasing the number
each day. The muscles will
become very stiff for a few
days. but keep it up until the
double. chin has disappeared.
1t will 60 surely enough. Also
try to sleep with the head
well up and so as not to cause
the chin to eramp-even IL
you have to put a small cush-
ion under the chin to force
the head up. | reduced my
chin this way. and, being in
elined to a double chin, l
keep one from coming. Stick
to it. A. II.

is the by-product of her discipline.
1t will remain as a permanent
contribution of the war to wom-
ans greatness.
Europe's war has stripped wom-
an of her trivialities. 1t has done
more for her higher education
than all the schools, colleges,
clubs and cults of civilization.
The woman who has sweated in
munitions factory knows the ex-
act worth of rouge and powder;
she who has got out of bed for a
4 a. IN "shift" will never be lazy
even though she live in the midst
of luxury; the girl who puts on an
unbecoming uniform every day
will never be slave to fashion;
never will tinted and polished fin
ger nails seem more important to
a war woman than the work of
her hands.
All her petty martyrdoms to So
ciety, all her appealing affecta-
tons of helplessness have been
wiped out in the heroic struggle
to fit her woman's strength to a
mans job. To her motherhood
can never more be a sacrifice,
home-making can never again be
drudgery.
Prudent statesmen worry con-
siderably about a declining birth
rate as a consequence of woman S
share in industry. But no such
peril awaits any nation whose
women have thrown awaX their
vanities in order to help their men
carry on" the war.

TO CONSERVE LIFE

It's almost staggering to realize that 100000
people in the United States are seriously Ill at
any one time. OF these, 100000 are consumptives
and 10000 Of the latter die every year. AND
CONSUMPTION Is A PREVENTABLE DIS
EASE!
Every year 10000 people are killed in industry,
and 100000 are seriously injured.
In % years about 100000 people in this coun-
try were killed and injured merely because they
were walking on railroad tracks or Clipping" on
cars.
The 3O,OOO,OOO wage-earners in this country
lose an average of nine days apiece every year,
on account of illness, the wages lost amounting to
$50000000O the medical treatment costing
$780, 900 more.
It's source of real satisfaction that the fed
eral council of the churches of Christ in America
representing 100000 different churches, having
18,000,000 members-is about to set up cam
,paign for the conservation Of human life.
Experts tell us human life may be extended ID
years by observing the laws of health and COM
anon sense. If, as a result of the efforts of the
federal council, the average life in this country
lis extended only one year, IL WILL MEAN
THE EQUIVALENT OF 100000 COMPLETE
LIVES SAVED IN EACH GENERATION!
sAnd this would be distinctly worth while.
There's every reason why the church should
;engage in such a campaign. Jesus spent much of
his time healing the sick-why shouldn't his fol-
flowers do likewise? But it's a lot better to PRE-
VENT sickness than to HEAL it!
8 A strong advisory committee has been appoint
ed by the federal council to work out the details
of this campaign, among the members being
Clifford Pinchot conservationist; Prof. Irving
Fisher of Yale university; Haven Emerson,
health commissioner of New York; Julia G.
Lathrop Of the children's bureau of the United
States labor Department.; William +. Cochran
millionaire socialist and friend of labor, of Bal
timore, and Graham Taylor of Chicago Commons.
Commissions of experts will study sanitation,
food, occupational diseases, tuberculosis, causes
of high death rates among babies, and other
causes that lower vitality and shorten life. Their
reports will receive wide publicity. Special text
books will be prepared, telling how to direct local
campaigns. 1t is proposed to reach the remotest
towns in this country.
If the churches really get on this job, and mean
business-WATCH OUT!
The churches are already thoroughly organic
ed; they constitute the finest machine in the
world. And the people in the churches know how
to put across campaign of this kind
= It's big job-it will be getting right down to
earth, and it will be worthy of the churches that
engage in it. Here hoping they make good

Buffalo Bill, famous scout, sol
dier and the American boys hero,
is reported dying!
Throughout his 70 years Buff
falo Bill has always been active
and won the most admiration OF
young America by his adventure
some life.
He was born William Frederick
Cody, but in 1867 killed 1880
buffalo in 10 months and ever
since America has known him as
Buffalo Bill.
Up to the Civil war Cody was a
pony express rider. He enlisted
with the Seventh Kansas as scout
and guide during the war, and
became colonel.
In 1868 Cody became a govern
ment scout and furnished the
thrills of Indian warfare of which
most American boys have read
He boasts he took part in more
Indian battles than any other
white man. In one, he says, he
killed Yellow Head, the Cheyenne
chief, in a hand-to-hand fight.
Buffalo Bill became rich with
his Wild West show, which he
started in 1876.
Retiring from the show in 1903
Buffalo Bill lived on his western
ranch, where he has devoted his
later years to reclamation of arid

ANOTHER DAY
FOR CARRANZA
United Press Leased Wire. !

(United Press Leased Wire.)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The
u. s. government will await q
day or two for Carranza's answer
on the troop withdrawal protocol.
Though yesterday was the last
day of grace in which he could
sign, authorities explained today
that transmission difficulties may
have delayed his reply.
For that reason they refused
even to consider formulation of
any new Mexican policy until they
were certain he had ignored it.
In fact, the general feeling still
was that Carranza would come to
terms in an eleventh-hour mes
sage.

Dear Miss Grey: have

to me and | am sure that she
gets tired of reading unhappy
news. Why doesn't some
one write, her some happy
news some time?

tween church members and

wife of my husband and have
two children by his former
wife to care for. ! have no
children of my own. When
my husband is out of work
l go to work and keep him
until he can find some again.

every wife to be a pal for her
husband. ! pity all men or
women who have not a COM
panion for a lifemate.
HAPPY WIFE.
Q.-For five years my life
has been hell on earth.
My husbands people have
done everything to make
my life unhappy. Five years
ago | consented to mortgage
a piece of property to place
my husband In the way of
making a better living. This
was given with the UNDER
standing that he was not to
take his brother in with him.
He promised this.
My reason for this was
that when my husband was
in his own family he was
considered the black sheep,
not allowed to even stay in
the same house with them.
Now that We have accumu-
lated a little money they all
hang around and We are not
able to meet our own ex-
penses. / ask If there is
any way to keep this broth

happy when left alone.

Of an intimate personal kind is re-
ceiyed by me not only with surprise
but with contempt. Such a request

countable and whom the people OF the
state have not as yet given any warrant
Of authority over their affairs-is in
keeping with the campaign Of misrep-
resentation and uniustified insinuation
that Is being conducted by him in the
vain hope of misleading and tricking
some of the people, thereby hoping TO
make possible his election.
In the expenditure of the contingent
fund, the constitution provides that
shall report TO the legislature OF the
state, and to that body strict account
ing will be made at the proper time.
My expenditures are also audited by
the state auditing department, which
department is vested with this author
ity by the legislature.

made for detailed statement Of all
