Constipation is one of the main
reasons why the average human
life is below 40 years. Leaving
waste material in the body,
poisons the system and blood
and makes us liable to sick head

and muddy skin. When you
note these symptoms, try Dr.

SCHOOL GIRLS AID
IS ENLISTED FOR
MOTHER HELPERS

Shortage of mothers helpers' is
today one Of the most deplorable con-
ditions in Washington. brought on by
the war. according to Mrs. Louise
Earll. member OF the conservation
committee of the District Federation
of Women's Clubs.
Mothers with large families are
being worn out because they cannot
get servants" she said at a meeting
OF the federation at the District
building yesterday.
As a result of her plea, the fedora
tion will appeal to Washington high
school girls to work after school
hours as mothers helpers" one or
two hours a week at so cents per
hour. The appeals to the girls will
be introduced by short talks on the
dignity OF labor.
These girls will act as servants in
the household. They will wash
dishes. sweep. take care of the chill
dren. and in every way assist the
overworked mother.
81 would like these girls to stay
with the small children. especially at
night. so that the mother and father
can go out occasionally" said Mrs.
Earll.
A plea for a curfew law for the
District today is before the Commis-
sioners for their consideration. The
proposed law. which was drafted by
Lee Baumgarten. OF the Board OF
Trade. provides that all children un-
der the age OF sixteen shall not be
on the streets unaccompanied after 3
o'clock. Children who violate this
proposed law will be arraigned in Ju-
venile Court.

Obedience is the lesson for the SOL

United States to learn, said Carolina
Gibbons in his message to the men
in uniform, read to Camp Meade Of
1icers and men today at the Christmas
services.
His message reads as follows:
The message OF Christmas is that
OF obedience. The Child. whom all
Christendom at this time. loves and
adores, comes into the world OF His
making. TO fulhll the will OF His
Heavenly Father. God Almighty
though He was. He could say. In the

ence.

1917 RECORD YEAR FOR
WEDDING LICENSES

The year which is just drawing to
. close promises TO be a champion
twslvemonth so far as numbers of
marriage licenses issued by Colonel
Broll at the District Supreme Court
are concerned. So far the register
shows 6,55I applications, which is
far ahead Of last years 4,353. The
record for 1912 shows there were
4,1ee: for 1913, 4,165: 1914. 4,2O3: 1918,
Abs applications for marriage
licenses, and Colonel KrolI estimates
that this year will top the list with
about $500 and that next year will
register about 5000 applicants for
the precious piece Of paper.
The big increase is ascribed by
Colonel RroIl primarily 70 the war
and the large influx into Washington
Of strangers from all parts OF the
country who have been engaged by
the Government AZ Colonel Kroll
puts It: TT may be due to the war:
it may be due TO prosperity, or II
may be due to the fact that more
