That the growth OF the feminist

which have resulted in the greater
employment OF women in commercial

sponsible for the greatly increased
demand for hygienic corsets that has
been seen in recent years, is the opin-

Years ago." Mr.. Hops went on.
1.-The women Of this and other coun-
tries did great deal more work of
the manual type than is the case
today, and as a result OF this there
was not a great deal heard about
nervous and physical breakdowns.
But as time went on women began
to lead more indolent lives. and their
health suffered accordingly. Faint
ing spells were daily occurrence,
and women who did not indulge in
them were considered coarse and
plebeian. A dinner or dance was
never complete success unless two
or three of the ladies present were
carried from the room in a fainting
condition.
ut was not until women began to
enter into the commercial and in
dustriai fields of endeavor that the
need Of good health and physical eff
fciency was impressed upon them.
This. coupled with b growing know
ledge OF hygiene. brought forcibly to
their minds the necessity OF living
and dressing In a manner conducive
to good health.

discarded corsets altogether, or wore

ITALY'S DEFEAT

New York Times: Germany by
massing a great German army and
practically the whole Austrian army
victories and put Italy on the de-
fensive. 1t is not Italy's fault Italian
emissaries have been besieging the
allies for months, in fact for years,
trying to make them see the import
ance Of giving in full measure to
Italy. The first task was to make
the allies understand that the Italian
campaign was not a side issue, but a
major campaign, which might decide
the war. Not until CadOrna's vic
tories of this spring, not until his OBJ
jective became obviously Laibach,
did this idea seem to strike the allies,
in spite of all Italy's exhortations. The
second task was to make them under
stand that while Italy could furnish
soldiers and generals, she could not
furnish coal and guns and munitions,
and that the allies must do that.
Italy has been defeated for the
same reason that the Russians were
defeated in 1915, not because her men
were not brave, but because men can
not fight with their bare hands against
artillery. When Italy asked for the
raw material Of warfare she was not
asking favor; she was asking some
thing for the benefit of Italy, France,
England. Russia and the United
States. She should have got all she
asked for, not as favor to her, but as
a means Of winning the war, and she
should have got it early. Because she
did not get it she has failed to hold
her gains when the whole strength Of
Germany and Austria was hurled
against her. That strength could not
have been hurled against her if Rus
STA had stood firm, but the allies
knew that Russia probably would not
stand firm and should have prepared
for that contingency. No doubt they
have been Fastening to repair it, but
they should make still more haste.
Every help that can be given Italy
should be given at once and without
stint.

THE SOLDIERS CHRISTMAS

This generation may never know an
other such Christmas as that which
December will bring. A million men
will be under arms. Nearly, every
home in the land will have been touch
ed. On the sea in the fighting ships,
on the battle lines of France, in the
great training camps of America, the
cream of the nations young manhood
will be awaiting whatever destiny may
bring.
What sort of Christmas are these
boys to enjoy? Is the glad days to of
fer them happy cheer? Are they to be
made to feel that their country is
thinking of them Of their welfare and
comfort? But one answer is possible.
The gallant hosts who so soberly and
so willingly have set out upon the
greatest of all crusades must be given

Christmas days Now is the time for

bered gratefully by Wisconsin people.

But none of us are great men. We all

lieve it. And doing our best is, after

LET THE TEST BE MADE

Governor Philip is against holding a
special election to fill the vacancy
created by the death of Senator Hust-
ing. He holds that such an election
would cost the state $2OO,OOO.OO a sum
sufficiently large in view of other
heavy expenditures to halt plans for
an election. Perhaps this is true and
in view Of the coming spring election
it might be better to defer a casting
of ballots for few months at least.
But sooner or later it must come and
the sooner the better. The issues
have been set forth as anti-adminis-
stration versus administration, the
insurgent hand of La Toilette or the
deathless spirit of Husting. But even
as these are the issues so there are
greater issues. The issues of loyalty
and sacrifice versus Bolshevikism. So
let the test come and let us find out as
quickly as possible just where Wiscon-
sin stands

ON FOOD CONSERVATION

The Herald has decried in the past
well-meaning, but what it seemed flu
tile, attempts at food conservation, ct
cctera. 1t is more than willing then
to note real accomplishments along
this very line. In Denver the i'm
mense amount of city garbage sub
let to contractors and fed to hogs has
been decreased to (the contractors an
thorities place the garbage reduction
at one third. All this means that the
hogs go less we'll fed but real, valu-
able food is being consumed by hui
mans and not wasted In Milwaukee,
where exact figures are kept on such
sordid matters, reduction of 1000
tons a month is noted in garbage dis
posal. Big hotels, apartments, and
even modest householders, have felt
the pinch of necessity and are par
ing the potatoes a little thinner and
finding ways to utilize the perfectly
good by-products of a jaded appetite
All this shows that in the prodigal past
we rocked little of actual conserva-
tion-talked it but did not practice it.
Now, one and all, we realize the nee
essity of saving and utilizing to the
last bit. The saving propaganda has
been unscientific, but thanks to I'M
iversal press, widespread.

The Devil Resigns in Favor of the

"The devil sat by a lake Of fire on a
pile of sulphur kegs; his head was

lies along the Rhine; I'm a has-been

bloody shot and shell knows more
about damnation than all the imps in
hell. Give my Job to Kaiser Wilhelm,
