The Main idea of Red Cross Cam.

alton of Debt and Duty

1--WE hope the people of Wausau will
themselves by the size of their con-
tribution to the Red Cross War Fund"
This was the hope expressed today
by one of the Red Cross Campaign
Committee"
''Tne main idea at the back of all
our planning" said this gentleman, is
to stir the United States to a, heart
felt realization of debt and duty, 10
raise $1O0,0OO,OOO more rapidly than
that amount was ever collected by
voluntary subscription, to assemble
the great stores of supplies and pro-
vide the ships, and then to start to
Europe, especially to our French and
Russian friends, stream of help that
will never cease to flow, an unending
rich current of material and moral
aid"
We Must Do Our Part
Excuses and evasions won't do
The man who has an income Of $10,-
900 year might as we'll make up his
mind to give half of it to the Red
Cross. That's the spirit the situa-
tion demands-no less. If people will
meet the situation with that spirit we
will have our walls of granite in no
time, put life and heart into our shak
en- Allies, do a tremendous work be-
fore our armies begin to fight, and so
deliver a tremendous punch, straight
from the American shoulder, at Ger
man military power. The man who
grumbles at taxes and at the call to
subscribe will do well to keep in
mind the thought that if France and
Russia and England break down he
will be paying everything he has to

his natural life. That's all there is
to it. That's precisely the way mat

To The Public

In a lecture at one of the Des
Moines, Iowa, churches a missionary
from India told of going into the in
terror of India, where he was taken
sick, that he had a bottle of Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy with him and believed that il

successfully in India both as a pre-
Ventive and cure for cholera. You

are wonderful. POntine coats with

PLAToNic FRIENDSHIP.

Almost every young married couple
boasts Of a single friend, q former
chum of the husbands, whose privi-
lege 1t is TO drop in at any time, max
ing himself entirely at home. Indeed
he seems to be almost an Independent
adjunct to the family. If the husband
is too busy to take his wife out to the
alter or ball, the friend always stands
ready to take her. 1t is not long be-
fore the bride looks to her husband
to make the money to support the
household and looks to the friend for
pleasure and cOmpanionship. To him
she confides her little grievances. He
feels In duty bound to console her with
his sympathy. Theirs is platonic
friendship.
But such friendships are far better
In the avoidance than in the observ-
ance. A man may with propriety take
the wife of friend to some social
function, If the husband makes the ur-
gent request. He is detained by bust
ness. Two tickets to the theater have
been purchased. Wife is at home roak-
Ing ready. Her disappointment would
be keen to miss that particular play.
1t Is courtesy for a good-natured friend
to throw himself into the breach and
place his service at the husbands dis
posal. But for the single man DELHI
erately to beau his friends young wife
about and from choice pass his eve
nings in her society has no reasonable
excuse TO uphold it. Interest may fiut-

secure friendship though neither NAV
be aware Of the exact state Of affairs.
The single man is safe only in
spending his leisure evenings with
marriageable young ladies and escort
Ing them about. Someone has some
where said, and with more than n
grain Of truth, that There is no such
thing as 'platonic friendship" A man
who is constantly attracted to a pa:ti-
cular woman's side Is infatuated with
her. 1t depends entirely upon q mans
disposition whether he Is mildly in
fatuated or deeply infatuated. The
man or woman who first notices this
state Of situation or feeling should i'm
mediately put him or herself beyond
the pale Of undue interestedness.
1t Is the mutual friend, edging in
between husband and wife, that brews
much Of discomfort between man and

BREAKING HIS PROMISE.

mans breaking an engagement to call
on particular evening is seldom
heard Of II some Unforeseen, I'M
prevCntabIe circumstance arises that
detcrs him from keeping his engage
mcnt. he telephones, telegraphS or
sends note of explanation by Il spc-
| Cial messenger. This is exactly what
| he should do. Yet there are men. and
well-tO-dO men at that. who snap their
fingers at etiquctte's requirement,
making an appointment with Il young
girl to call upon her. having no inten-
/ ton of keeping the appointment, while
uttering the words.
What a young girl confided TO me re-
Gently on this subject caused me much
serious delibcratiOn. She is pretty
girl, in a department store. She said:
"A few weeks ago, | was introduced
10 young man of fine family and
position. He paid me marked atten-
ton the entire evening, CscOrting me
home from friends house. He lin
cered ut the door, even after | had
thanked him for seeing me home and
said goodnight. May have the pleas
ure of seeing you soon againF he
asked. My home was not fitted TO re-
CeiVc callers. | answered that | would
be glad 10 let him call, if he could let
me know in advance, which would
mean marking sure that | would be
home. Suppose we make it Sunday
afternoon. around five O'clock he suS-
geSted. | much preferred that the
time should he set for evening. OF
course, | could not say SO. You will
have to invite him for dinner said
mother. There was a great upheaval
in our fiat during the week that fol-
lowed. Much was done to make our
home appear at least comfortable and
coy in the eyes of this rich young
man. We were obliged to take from
our rent money we had saved to pur-
chase food for our dinner. Mother
declared there was nothing like giving
n man fine dinner to put him In good
humOr. The afternoon arrived. Five
o'clock came. six. seven and eight, still
he did not put in an appearance. Then
burst into tears at the great expense
l had put my folks TO, and the family
sat down TO the belated feast. l never
heard from him from that day TO this.
There's more of that sort of thing 60
ing on than you would believe. If you
can draw the attention of a certain
class of young men to 1t. you would
help many a girl. Miss Libbey."
The class of young men who break
such promises do not do so deliberate
ly, am glad to say. They are simply
thoughtless. The promises are made
on the spur Of the moment. 1t does
not occur to such men that the young
women will be put to any expense on
their account. Afternoon calls should
be from two to four, or 4 80 at the
latest. Evening calls suit the major
ity Of girls better. There is no worry
or expense attached to them.

A Cleveland young woman has a ten

Pretty FroCks for Evening Wear.

Nearly all girls look their best In
the silky and filmy frOcks they wear
for evening, and of course they are
likely to know this. Therefore, every

rs to material, as rule. Pretty col
Ors and smart style in the making are
the things that captivate her.
1t isn't bad idea to encourage the
requirement of a new evening or after
noon frock, especially as an Incentive
to the average girl who needs to learn
to sew. Some mothers agree to fur
nish all the materials which their
daughters will make up for themselves
furnishing one garment at u time.
This is wise management on the part
,of the mother, who wishes to train her
girls In planning and shopping and
saving. for their own future good.

such storm of indignant anger and
reprOacheS.
"A man who meets secretly and
courts daughter without her parents
knowledge Is scOundrel,' they de-
clared, ending by demanding that I
never see her again. They made good
that part of 1t, rushing the girl off to
relatives in another state. 7 had made

keep my hold on her heart. She was
young, thoughtless, and care-free. The
arrow of love had only glanced at her
heart, not entering 1t as ii had entered
mine. She met another who wooed and
won her. My fault lay in my procedure
of cOurtship. Had gained the good
will of her parents at the outset. I
would have had smoother sailing. Sc
cret courtships are dangerous to happi-
ness"
There's many young man in the
same boat as this one. For one rea-
son or another, they dread meeting the
parents, lest they lose the girl whom
they learned to care for. Seldom or
never does a girl feel cOntented if she
braves her parents disapproval by not
letting them know of lover who has

WagonIoads OF Gold.

In all the centuries from King Solo
mon TO George Washington the whole
world got along nicely with about as
much gold as the United States last
year took from Europe, writes "Gi-
rard" in the Philadelphia Ledger.
Solomon and his thousand mines
didn't dream there was so much gold
as now lies like wagonloads of brick
in the Philadelphia mint.
About half of all the gold above
ground is used for money, and we have
third of it in the United States. The
other half is used for commercial pur-
poses.
England's debt, as well as that of
France and Germany, is now much
greater than all the gold money on
earth. Indeed. England's debt almost
equals the S16,OOO,O 100000 of all known
gold of any description.

Thrift and Parsimony.

Many people mistake thrift for par
slmony, but they are as far apart as
the poles. No one admires a miser; no
one should initiate him. Food, raiment
and shelter are the first necessities OF
civilization. When they are sufficient,
then all other things will come to the
normal man or woman. Their minds
will find proper food for thought and
both their minds and bodies will find
relaxation in proper and healthful
amusement. But the pleasures that
are most satisfying are those that
come from successful work. All 9TH
ers are transitory and fleeting. And II
