A NEW DECALOGUE

"a new decaluogue of war for
women has been arranged by the pro-
fessors Of the University of Turin
says DR.. Anna Howard Shaw, chair
man of the Woman's Committee of the
Council of National Defense
This decalOgue, like that of the
Scriptures, applies to both men and
women, and by close attention to it's
rules, everyone will be able not only
to do her part, but to do it so system
atically and efficiently that there is
no demand the government could
make that would not find us prepared
to respond at once. If every family
kept this decalogue where it could be
in view every day, it would remind
them of their duty as we'll as the
glory of sharing in the great new
struggle which we trust shall bring
to us fulfillment of the spirit of Him
who came to bring Peach on Earth,
Good Will to Men," The Decalogue is
as follows:
1. Do not chatter. Keep to your
self the news you hear, your own i'm
pressions, and your apprehensions.
2. Do not listen to alarmists, to
slackers, or to those who would
spread encouragement Silence them.
3. Be moderate in your spending,
neither lavish in gifts nor sordid in
your economies. Let everything in
your life, even your daily expenses,
take on at this momonet it's true ma
tional Importance
f. Encourage national industries
avoiding imported goods, even though
they may seem better and less costly
than those made at home
5. Do not look upon the departure
to the front of those dear to you as an
abandonment Be with them constant
ly in thought, as they are with you.
particularly in the hour of danger:
and do all that you can to replace
them in their former occupations.
g. Do not complain of the difficult
ties, annOyances and privations caused
by the war. Think of those who are
dying for their country and complaint
will halt upon your lips.
Z. Multiply your activities, in your
home as we'll as outside, thereby rem
dering yourself useful to your country
by the work of your hands, the warmth
OF your heart, and the clarity of your
intelligence
8. Exhibit day by day and hour by
hour the same courage a man shows
upon the field of battle. Instruct the
ignorant, uphold the feeble, console
those who are stricken; transmit your
own confidence to others.
9. No matter how long the strug-
gle may last, await victory with
strength and patience.
lO. IL you are stricken in your
dearest affections, bear your sorrow
nobly, that your tears may be worthy
OF the hero whose death you mourn

That the war is upSetting the men
tai balance of some and straighten-
ing out that of others is the conclus-
ion of a number of leading physicians
and health experts called into recent
conference by an official Defense
Council. Cases were cited in which
men and women had become so un-
balanced as to require institutional
treatment. Others were presented in
together good.
One woman with a very sensitive
nervous sytem was so driven by her
desire to help right wrongs that her
mind literally went to pieces under
the strain of overwork. She came to
imagine herself to be the victim of
fiendish atrocities of the kind one
hears so much about in the war news.
Under the skillful handling of ex-
perts and through complete rest, her
recovery is looked for.
Another woman was described as
typical of large number upon whom
the effect has been exactly the oppo-
site. Always of somewhat imagina-
tive type, she has suffered minor ills
all her life. But under the lash of war
necessity, she has plunged into var
Gus forms of patriotic, civic, and
charity work. At night, as a result
she is well-nigh exhausted, but she
sleeps well, eats well, and is now en-
joying the best health she ever had.
These are but new illustrations of
the old truth that what is one mans
meat is another's poison" In individ-
ual cases individual judgment and ap-
propriate management must be exer-
ciSed
The belief was expressed that to
promote mental health in general all
forms of clean, wholesome sport and
recreation should be encouraged, and
that people who think they are help
ing the nation by going about with
funeral faces should be taught that
they are deceiving themselves and
hurting others. In times OF great ply
steal and mental strain, such as these.
one good laugh is worth a million
tears.
Nobody has more work or response
bility than President Wilson and yet
he finds time to play regularly every
day. That is one of the reasons, per-
maps, why his work is so good that
the whole world is sitting up and TAX
ing notice of it.

At the Theatres

Although he has been in motion
pictures less than seven years, Earle
Williams, the Greater Vitagraph star
has, for that period of time, been re-
garded as a symbol Of the screen. In
his newest vehicle, "The Stolen
Treaty." which will be the attraction
at the Classic Tuesday Mr.. Williams
plays the role of secret service
agent who masks his occupation be-
hind an appearance Of foppishness In
point of artistic portrayal, it is said to
be one of the finest pieces of work that
Mr.. Williams has done since his ap-
pearance as John Storm in "The
Christian"
Portraying the role of the worst
spoiled girl in America, Constance
Talmadge as Beatrix Vanderdyke in
Scandal" the new Select production,
.gives an exceedingly clever study of
the pampered New York debutante,
self willed and high tempered, but
strangely appealing in her moments
Of sweetness. The picture will be
shown at the Majestic Tuesday and
promises to hit the high water mark
in popularity.
There will be big attraction at the
Classic Wednesday and Thursday. Will
liam Farnum will appear in when a
Man Sees Red" 1t is a fascinating
story, and the mastery direction of
Frank Lloyd develops it in big way.
Red blooded Americans will want to
see this picture, which has been
styled by critics as the best work of
Farnum
That a weak character may be
strengthened by long association with
strong one is wonderfully demon
strated by Pauline Frederick in her
latest Paramount picture, Double
Crossed which will be shown at the
Majestic tonight

Under new regulations effective
January l, radical changes have been
made in the cases of those requiring
marriage licenses. This law, sponsor
ed by Senator Bray Of Oshkosh, calls
for the posting Of the names of per-
sons desiring licenses for five days
prior to their issuance. The names
must be posted in a conspicuous place
in the clerks office. Any one is at lib
erty to read the names posted, and if
the whim strikes their fancy, petition
the probate court, giving the grounds
for the objections. If found valid, the
court must issue an order for the par
ties to show cause why they should
be given marriage license. 1t must be
refused if the objections are found
valid. The, county clerk is required to
keep a docket of all information and
proceedings in each case.
