WAR BRIDE PROPOSAL
VERY UNPOPULAR here
WashingtOnians Object to Marriage of
Soldiers Before Going Abroad.

Shall soldiers be forced to wed before
they leave for the trenches?
Certainly notl is Washington's en-
phatic reply In answer to w. Cameron
Forbes plan to compel United States
soldiers to marry before they go to the
front Forbes. former governor general
Of the Philippines, says that the future
Of the race requires that these young
men. the best Of our youth. should be
represented In future generations.
He contends that IL the 100000 young
men, whom II Is proposed to select for
service. are permitted to go to the front
unmarried, II will mean complete fall
ure to realize the necessity Of the main
tenance OF the race. and that two mil
lion women viii be deprived OF the priv
Hege Of marriage and the bringing up
Of families"
'It is placing an extra burden on the
wife and lessening the burden OF the
soldier husband" declared a government
Official. IT am absolutely opposed to such
methods 1t Is un-American. and we
would be getting back to the German
idea-the very thing we are trying to
crush"
such a proposition is an insult to
American womanhood." said a promi-
nent club-woman here, "and no self-rev
specting woman would consent to such
a marriage.
American women have been fighting
for Individual economic, industrial and
social freedom, and no intelligent woman
could consent to such an idea"
1T would be all right for boy and
girl to marry II they have been in love
with each other for some time" declared
a khaki-clad blonde rookie at the Ma
tional T-aining camp at Conduit road
but It Is wrong, however, in principle,
and molests all the ideas that prompt
marriage
The pastor Of one Of the most promi-
nent churches IN Washington said. the
idea is a direct violation Of the Consti-
tuition Of the United States and could not
be enforced It do not believe any per-
son should be obliged to comply with
such a request. There should be no COM
pulsion. Its I'D to the girl to decide"

Old Looks?
(Br DR. L. H. sMIrH)

Persons suffering from toe much uric
acid in the system frequently look older
than they should. They age faster and
the appearance of gray hair or baldhead
in early years is, indeed, often a sign Of
uric acid. The face appears lean and
haggard, lines and wrinkles appearing in
young men or women.
The best way to combat this prema-
ture age and the obstruction to the
arteries and faulty circulation is OF the
simplest: Drink copiously of pure water
between meals. This will not make you
fat, as it is only the water taken with
the meals that fattens. Obtain at any
drug store a small package OF Anuric,
which is to be taken before meals, in
order to expel the uric acid from the
system. The painful effects Of backache,
lumbago, rheumatism, gout, due to uric
acid in the blood should quickly disappear
after treatment with Anuric.

for addition of soda, usually half tea
spoonful to a cupful of milk is suffi-
cient. When In doubt add a bit of bak-
ing powder to help in the rising.
Sour cream may be used in place of
butter for cakes and various dough
mixtures, the amounts varying accord
Ing to the richness of the cream.
Cottage Cheese.-There is no more
delicious dish than this when well sea-
soned. Pour two quarts of hot water
into two quarts of thick, sour milk. and
let stand until the curds begin to form,
then drain through "A bag ana let stand
overnight. Season well with cream,
salt and bit of red pepper, mixing it
well until smooth ana fine.
Cheese 6alls.-Add two tablespoon
fuls of softened butter to a cupful of
cottage cheese, unseasoned, add salt
and red pepper, then form into balls
the size Of walnut, roll In chopped
nuts end set aside to cool and become
firm. Serve with lettuce salad.
Corn Bread.-Separate the yolks and
whites of two eggs. beat the yolks,
add cupful of sour milk to which
has been added half teaspoonful of
soda, stir in one-half cupful of flour,
one cupful of cornmeaI half
teaspoonful of salt, beat thoroughly.
then add the well-beaten whites of the
eggs. Bake in gem pans 30 minutes.
Breakfast Muffns.-Dissolve half a
teaspoonful of soda in n cupful of sour
milk, add the yolks of two eggs, well
beaten, stir in cupful and "A half of
Hour and half teaspoonful of salt.

two eggs. Bake in creased muffin pans
in quick oven 20 minutes.
A little sour milk added to the buck

to them, making them more palutable
and more nutritious.
