Should Soldier Marry

To the Editor Of Womdu'S Page:
Dear Madam soldier and have had
service in Mexico, Haiti and SantO Domingo, and
am to be discharged next winter. | am engaged
TO dear little grille. Would you advise me 10
get married before going TO France wait until
| am DISCHARGED? DO YOU think people would
expect me to enlist again2 SOLDIER.
This question is a very serious one and
one I am afraid that you must decide for
yourselves. If your going will mean that
the young woman will be left wholly de-
pendent on her family or herself for sup
port, 1t seems almost wiser to put the mar
riage off until your return. on the other
hand, many young couples have been made
much happier by these marriages. even
though Of short duration. As you have
already seen several years Of active service,
| hardly think people would rate you a
Stacker If you did not re-enlst next winter.
But you must not forget that when you
enlist you are filling the place Of some other
man who may have a family depending on
him for support

SAVING AND BOARDING NOT TO BE
IA CONFUSED-FOLLY OF THE LATTER
The Girl Who Lets Her Letters or Her Clothes
Accumuate-The White House
Pickets Again

TUE saving habit usually takes one Of
u two extremes. Either you save every
penny you possibly can, storing up for
yourself possibly future wealth, or you
are utterly ignorant of the value Of money,
but fearfully grasping and mean when
II comes to parting with your own per.
sonal possessions, your clothes, pictures,
letters. 1t is strange that the two are
not necessarily related. The most thrift.
less girl l know lets her clothing accu-
mulate until she can find 40 more room
for It, then years after her suits have
gone out of style she tries to sell them
or give them away to the poor" who
cannot be counted on to be extremely
grateful for these passe garments. Yet
abe is exceedingly generous in money
matters. Perhaps IL is that each thing
she owns has its particular associations
and she can't bear TO part with Il for
that reason.
Many more people hoard their letters,
believe. Yet this is most unwise unless
the letter happens to be unusual and
few letters, in these days OF postcards and
kilograms, are really classics.
One girl told me how she happened to

each little bundle tied with ribbon, just
as she had read Of other romantic girls

Bran for Constipation

Does bran taken with milk have the same
effect on constipation as bran alone? What
can a sNteen-year-Od girl do who is always
cold2 She lives healthful live, sleeps outside,
etc. Is II poor circulation? s. A
Bran will have the same effect taken in
milk, water or mixed with foods. If the
constipation persists in spite Of bran and
the liberal use Of fruits, fruit juice and fresh
green vegetables, you will need TO take
mineral oil for time at least. Take one
or two tablespoonfuls at each meal. The
young lady should regularly take gymnastic
exercises every morning on arising and walk
two or three miles daily. This will improve
her circulation, A cool sponge bath every
morning followed by a brisk rubbing of the
body with a towel until the skin is in a
glow is a strengthening tonic. Walking on
the toes for five minutes two or three times
a day is an excellent exercise

There are three commercial substitutes
for butter, oleomargarine. butterine and
renovated butter. Butterine is oleomar-
Rarine with which is mixed more or less
butter although all butterine is legally oleo-
margarine. II is a mistake to think there
is anything harmful in a good grade OF
oleomargarine. In fact, 1t is rather to be
preferred TO a poor grade Of butter.

Capture is Tremendous Blow to Turkish Morale; Bethlehem

English Armies Advancing Since Last Spring.

LONDON, Dec. 1O.-Gen-
eral Allenby's British troops
have captured Jerusalem,
it is officially announced.
The news was received with
great rejoicing.
The capture brings the
city under Christian control
for the first time in 401
years.
The capture Of Jerusalem
is expected to be q tremen-
dous blow at the Turkish
morale, it is believed. The
possession of Jerusalem has
been the boast of the Mos
lens for centuries. Recent
dispatches indicated Envoi
Pasha, Turkeys ambitious
war minister, was tottering
from his position while the
British armies swept to-
ward the city.
The British armies began
the drive toward Jerusalem
early last spring. Almost
.unnoticed, the British adj
vanced steadily against the
Turks. Jerusalem's fate
was sealed November first
when the British captured
GAIA. Immediately after
taking Beersheba. Allenby
advanced northward rapid

movement around the Holy
City striking both north and

viOr was born, lies a scant
six miles south of Jerusalem.
