"a new decalogue of war for wom-
en- has been arranged by the profess
sors of the University of Turin" says
Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, chairman of
the woman's committee of the council
of national defense.
This decalogue, like that of tSs~
Scriptures, applies to both men and
women, and by close attention to its
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 decaIogue where it could be in
view every day, it would remind them
of their duty as well as the glory OF
sharing in the great new struggle
which we trust shall bring to us full
/ fillment 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 yourself the
news you hear. your own Impressions, and
, DO not listen to alarmists. to slackers
or to those who would spread discourage
+ g. Be moderate in your spending, neither
lavish in gifts nor sOrdid in your econo-
mics Let everything in yoursif Eli. even Ta
ment its true national Importance
! T. Encourage national industries, avoid
/ ing imported goods. even tho they may
/ :. Do not look upoi the departure to
| the front of those dear to you as an aban'
/ donment Re with them constantly in
thought, as they ere with you. particularly
in the hour of danger: and do all that you
can to replace them in their former occu-
pations.
annoyances and privations caused by the
war Think of those who are dying fol

-. Multiply your activities. in your home
as well as outside. thereby rendering your
self useful to your country by the worl
of your hands, the warmth Of your heart
and the clarity of your intelligence.
s. Exhibit day by day and hour by
hour the same courage man shows uroI
the field of battle. Instruct the ignorant

to others.
o. No matter how long the struggle may

your tears may be worthy of the hero
whose death you mourn
