ANSWERS TO YESTERDAYS INJURIES
Silk Stockings for Work

To the Editor OF Womdn's Page:
Dear Madam-Do you think It absolutely
necessary for girl TO silk stockings all
the time? Ny friends seem to think no one
should wear anything else. yet they wear so
badly that 1t Is an eNpenHe for glrl who
works. f.. Il. y.
Nothing could be further from the truth
than to imagine 1t is n mark of breeding to
wear silk stockings to work. Many women
in far better circumstances than you or !
prefer to wear Isle stockings for walking.
OF course, there is certain satisfaction in
the appearance the silk stocking gives the
ankle, but il is very foolish for a girl who
cannot afford to do so 10 attempt to wear
them while at work.

What do YOU recommend for indigestion. with

JAMES p. d.
Indigestion is too general "A term 10 serve
as an indication for a prescription. A sem
sation of fullness after meals. with blOating,
may be due to overeating, hasty eating, to
the excessive use Of fluids at meals. or
may be attributed to gastrits or chronic
Inflammation OF the stomach. Simple food,
thoroughly mastiCated, with the avoidance
Of meats and condiments, and care to avoid
overeatlng, will generally overcome this
trouble to a considerable extent. Persons
suffering in this way should rest half an
hour after a meal and apply a bag Of hot
water or a heated sand bag over the
stomach.

Dear Madam-What would you suggest for
office dresses for warm weather. During the
very hot days l cannot wear a suit, or even a
linen coat suit, yet ! want to be dressed ap-
prOpratey for business. White Is too expen sive
This is the first year l have been empoYed.
AGNES T.
White Is. as you say. too expensive, as il
causes too much laundering. Why do you
not buy some frocks of crepe in the darker
shades? This makes up beautifully, does
not muss and will Withstand wear. Made
very simply, with only removable white
collar and cuffs as trimming, these frocks
are both becoming to the young girl and
practical Anderson ginghams In the more
subdued plaids are lovely, but slightly more
expensive. However, they wear WONDER
fully well.

WHEN YOU HAVE A COMPLAINT
TO MAKE-DONT GROWL-KICK!
"a Grievance Carried to the Proper Source Most
Effective-Susceptibilit of the
Young Girl

~nON'T growl; klck!" One of the de-
- partmental heads Of a railway cor
poration thus tersely expressed himself.
He declared that one well-directed kick
would accomplish more results than a
hundred misdirected growls. Yet the
growler outnumbers the kicker in just
about the same ratio.
Using the trains constantly, there are
few who do not find something about
which to complain. But do they com
plain effectively? Most persons grow
and grumble at flaws in the system, but
those who are courageous enough or ener
getic enough to send their complaints in
writing to the office where they will do
the most good are few and far between.
The advice is well worth regarding in
other fields Of endeavor. Being in a con.
slant state of "growl," whether expressed
or reptessed, cannot fail to have its effect
on ones disposition, and ultimately on
ones outward self. The face will take
on hard lines OF discomfort, the eyes
grow heavy and tired; even the walk loses
its spring.
II you are not satisfied with your lob"

upon, don't mutter about it, Go to your
employer and express your opinions-or

part--look for another opening. But

"ELANCING over some of the letters
~ from young girls in your columns,
j am impressed with the very little en-.
couragement some of them need to fall
head over ears in love. 1t does seem a
pity that young men and boys should

not be able to show them little courtesies

very slender threads" Need / say the

the state university the center OF
educational Influence not only Tor

Under this provision. a sub-station OF

stations are now located at Teach.

This is the first time that state

university. The station will serve as
clearing house for educational in
formation and it will enable inyestl

Schools of Iowa Must Play
An Important Part in Winning
World War, Club Women Say

The education committee OF the
Iowa Federation of Women's clubs,
will issue series of articles on
timely subjects dealing with the
problems of wartime schooling. The
committee chairman, Miss Myra E.
Call of Cedar Falls, presents the first
article by Miss Mary E. Parker,
chairman of the department Of
education of the general federation,
which is entitled Service to the
Cause of Education in Time of War"
"The world must be made safe for
democracy" but democracy itself can
enjoy no real safety without men
and women who are loyal and who
bring to its support the greatest con-
tribution of which each one is cap
able. Every nation is strong in pro-
portion to the intelligence, skill and
loyalty of It's people, and the more
democratic the form Of government
and the larger the population the
greater is democracy's need. Every
nation in the world today expects
every man to do his duty but what
men see as duty varies with their
ideals and with the intelligence and
skill which training and experience
have developed.
Country Needs Loyalty.
Never did this country SO much
as now need loyalty, undivided and
enthusiastic, to it's ideals. Never has
it needed and sought out as 1t does
now men and women specially train
ed for service, and whether we have
drain on our human resources or
peace with the grilling competition
which Is bound to come, we must
train up new workers, our next gen
Grafton, to the greatest possible
efficiency or jeopardize the prln-
cipIes for which so great sacrifice
has already been made.
"The strain of today is SO great
and it's duties so engrossing that
there Is danger of our losing sight
of the inevitable need and POSSIBLY
greater strain of tomorrow. For the
young men Of today we are spending
our millions in our country's name
but we are providing as well for the
bows and girls in our school in whose
hands must be the future fate OF
our America? From all sections OF
the country come disquieting rumors
repeal of compulsory
education laws, suggestions that the
school year be shortened, curtalled
appropriations for schools. lax ad-
ministration of child labor laws with
all kinds OF. plausible excuses, and
never as now the lure of the we'll

our schools, our technical schools and
colleges. Do we realize what this
means? Do we ask ourselves, too,

done by the young men in training
