 Has Not Written Message.
 The president has not. yet written the message he will deliver Tues day or Wednesday and is said to have reached no final conclusion as to just what recommendations to make. He is not expected to put the address in final shape until the last moment
 Policy Will Be Vigorous.
 There is no doubt in the minds of administration officials that whatever may be it's details. the policy laid be- fore congress will be both vigorous and comprehensive. The general opinion after the cabinet meeting ap parently was that the programme most likely to be followed by congress will include a declaration that a state of war exists between the United States and Germany. an authorization for the president to use the armed rights, the granting of a large credit to the government to carry out is policy; passage of censorship and espionage bills. and provisions for he employment of additional secret ser vice agents.
 No final decision has been reached as to whether financial assistance should be given the entente allies, though a strong sentiment for such a step exists among government officials. If this is done the government proba- bly will deal directly with the other governments concerned and not through agents.
 Colonel E. NJ. House, the presidents personal advisor. arrived at the White House tonight from New York. He is expected to stay several days.

Milk As a "Bracer" )"
By DAVID STONE KELSEY

The Pasteur institute of Paris makes
the declaration that one of the most
powerful stimulants known Is milk. It
has been in use for months now as
the one stimulant for the French SOL
diers in the trenches, and its effect on
them has amply justified the state
ment made by the famous institute in
regard to it.
Milk has been used literally to stim-.
ulate the French soldiers before they
go into battle and its effects have
been such that the French government
has urged the sale of milk in prefer
ence to other soft drinks behind the
trenches when the soldiers go off duty
for their spells Of rest and recreation.
That the qualities of stimulation
should be demonstrated on the fight
ing men should commend the beverage
to those engaged in the pursuits Of
peace in those parts of the world
where Mars does not now rule. While
alcohol may fire the brain and dull
the sensibilities and thus impart a
false courage, milk, according to the
learned scientists of the Pasteur in
stitute, performs the work of keying
up the individual without affecting the
keenness of his senses or the GOODNESS
Of his judgment. High courage and
clear perception Of what they are
doing Is necessary for the best work
In all the arts and professions, as well
as in the handicrafts and in trade.
This fluid hitherto has been consid-
cred synonymous with all that is mild
and peaceful. Advocates of prepared
ness have referred to "these milk-and-
water pacifists." The milk of human
kindness" has no suggestion Of power
full stimulation.
But science has discovered, among
Its many wonders, that the patient
COW has put punch in milk that ne
cessitates the addition of no product
of the still to make itself felt on the
human system. 1t has discovered
new and harmless "bracer."

Shocks Awaiting l Laggard L overs
By LAURA JEAN LIBBEY

as a friend, and begins to cast sleeps
eyes on other men as possible beaux.
No man should be too sure of girls
love until he has placed betrothal
ring on her finger. Even then, he
should see that the marriage is not
put off too long.
A pretty girl once had one of these
laggard lovers Of whom she thought a
great deal. But pop the question he
would not. Her aunt advised her not
to waste time with him. At an after
noon affair, to which she had gone
with girl friends, she met a new ad-
mirer, who escorted her home. They
encountered the old beau. His jeal-
ousy was straightway aroused. The
sight of her with another showed him
how dear she was to him. The 'ques-
tion faced him as to what life would
be without her if another won her.
He called that evening and lost no
time in asking her to be his wife, de-
claring that an open confession was
good for the soul. He had been too
sure of her and because of that came
near losing her.
The wise girl does not devote all Of
her time to one caller. She treats him
as she finds him-simply as friend
until he has given her reason to be as
sured otherwise. There would be no
long-drawn-out courtships which end
in parting If girls pursued this plan.
Men are at fault in calling upon one
girl steadily when they have no serious
intentions of matrimony. If they call
upon many young women, making no
secret of the fact, no one maiden is
apt to build her hopes upon them,
only to be disappointed at last.
