freedom, and that would be womanly
And this new skirt is it,
'Tis Of firm staunch very durable khaki in the spen-
did brown color so suited to work in garden

skirts apparently finished with pearl buttons down the
center both back and front
BUT around the lower hem is a drawstring And

upward from that lower hem right where the pearl but
tons are set! \
few snap fasteners snapped together; the draw
on each side of those buttons drawn ogether
and PRESTO there ready bloomer skirt that pro-
tects absolutely.
It is Just as easily returned to original modes-and
then becomes an excellent skirt for country trampng
general vacation wear.

MILITARY regulations threaten TO
nrohibit the sale Of liquor to those
militiamen doing guard duty a'oouc
factories or in other locations here.
Decisive steps for the hygientc ana
mental welfare Of the nations soio1ers
and sailors have been determined upon
nv the counsel of national defense as
| a strict war measure
The council, guided by the general
medical board, has prepared to strike
| at the presence Of ins1dous diseases
and at alcoholism in all military COM
mands. Decisions were announced as
follows:
First. that under military control
an effective zone. shall be created
about all military commands as the
most practicable and effective measure
| to prevent insidious diseases. Second,
| that these military zones shall serve
also as a means Of control of alcoholic
beverages to the. troops. These de.
cisions are reached by. the council af-
ter exhaustive study of conditions to-
day among great European armies.
Zones about the military commands
will. therefore, be created. and con-
ditions in these zones will be guarded
by military measures 80 as to prevent
the spread of disease. The two mill
|
recognize that confluence is compati-
BILE with health.
THE council also recommends. as a
further solution of the problem, thai
all military commands be provided
with good facilities for the recreation
of the troops. 1t urges that all suit
able athletics be encouraged.
THE use of alcoholic beverages ON
the part of soldiers and sailors in mil
itary commands has long been under
military control But the creation now
of these military zones will in effect
| extend such control over the troops
when they are off duty out OF the
commands"
ITO face these ugly facts in an un-
finching and no haf-hearted fashion"
said DIR. Franklin III. Martin, member
of the advisory commission Of the
Council for National Defense, makes
for the fighting power Of the nation.

of our civil life, and a clean. whole
some temperate life among these
troops will in the end make for civil
advancement, compared to which the
