IDLE PEACE TALK.

In soldiers letter quoted in The
Literary Digest is the paragraph:
Il want to tell you this, Bill. Tell
the people over there to forget this
peace talk for while. The time to
talk peace is when the bOche is so
badly whipped that he will crawl to
us and ask us to stop. We can do
it and we will do it if the people at
home only keep their mouths shut
about something of which they know
nothing. Let them devote as much
time to getting tobacco and mag
aZineS over here
The writer Lieut.. Leslie S. Lee,
has the big idea. The burning ques-
ton is not how long. The Hun must
be whipped whether it takes two
years or decade. There is moth
ing quite so idle as predictions Of
when peace may be expected. A
newspaper writer who last spring
said we would have peace by Aug.
/, supporting his theory with more
or less wabbly arguments, had
brand-new predictions when Aug. /
arrived, saying that we would prob
ably be at peace in 1919, with the
scant possibility of war continuing
into 1920. Let him read the SOL
dier's advice.

THE sure way to win the war is
to eliminate politics by electing a
republican congress- That, at least,
is the opinion of the enthusiastic
al . committee ), W Viii ' f. HAYS Had
there been republican congress in
Washington during the last year a
very different record would have
been achieved in the conduct of the
war, declares Mr.. Hays. And yet
the record of the congress is highly
creditable as seen by those not polit-
ically blinded. 1t has built great
navy; raised, equipped and trans
ported across the seas mighty
army, financed the war without a
of the country, and fed the allies.
But the beauty Of it is that in it all
there was no politics-republic ans
and democrats worked together in
the winning of the war.

acrobats, tumblers and slack wire art
lists marry earliest, and are less Civ
en- to divorce than almost any other
profession.
Indeed, the slack-wire artist and
the lady that docs the flying
trapeze" in the circus would appear
to be an excellent wife and mother.
She brings up her children well
and wholesomely, that in time they
may fly through the air and walk the
slack wire. For it's truism that
acrobatic talent remains in families
for generations. This seems to be
especially true of the English and
Italians, who cherish the family gifts
on wire and trapeze as jealously as
if they were scepter and crown.
These people who make a crony of
death in the roofs of big circus tents
keep their youth to surprising age
if they manage to survive the perils
of their occupation.
A strange, interesting people in
habiting a world of their own,
highly entertaining novel might be
written about them by one who
knows the world of rope and wire
and hoops and swings.
On the other hand. the teaching
profession seems to be fatal to mar
rage. Ana the NUMBER OF SplnSJerS
that it furnishes is alarming to the
keeper of vital statistics. 1t would
seem that if a teacher contemplates
marriage at all she must marry in
the first years of her profession, as
few, indeed, marry after they have
taught school for a decade or so.
The long hours spent in the class
room and the correction of papers
that eats into a teachers scant leis-
ure would seem to be unfavorable to
matrimony.
1t would be interesting to explain
the reason for this state of affairs,
uncovered by that curiously-prying
individual, the statistician, in his at
tempts to show the number of women
available to release men for war
work.

Little Talks by
Beatrice Fairfax

Why is 1t that mattresses marry
-~-TIfer and in greater numbers than
tse women employed in any other
occupation?
Wartime statistics, that have rent
the veil of so many mysteries have
also divulged this highly interesting
fact.
In a recent canvass designed to
show the number of women avail
able to release men for war. the as
tonishing fact was revealed that
there are practically no unmarried
mattresses.
Can it be that this grim statistical
fact is to be linked with the ancient
proverb that "the road to a mans
heart is through his stomach"
If a woman was the first to hurl
this brickbat at the sex that must
he cooked for and waited upon, here
it is back at her own door, proving
that she has been the first to avail
herself of this particular masculine
weakness.
For, If men marry mattresses. the
mattresses on their part must have
displayed a certain amount of en-
couragement.
I hate to insinuate that the girls
may have taken advantage of their
semi domestic relationship to lonely
bachelors, in serving meat and drink
to them. to bring about this matri-
monial boom in their ranks
Inslnuated Domesticity
AS a matter of fact, the waitress,
with her white apron, insinuating
suggestions of domesticity has
things pretty we'll in her own hands.
And the savory dishes that she offers.
hot and appetizing-if she looks with
favor on a patron-might almost be
classed under the head of undue in
fluence.
Here is q solitary young man, max
ing a place for himself in a big city.
He has a room somewhere and he
eats around"
hs patronage of a cafe is deter
mined more frequently by the friendly
smile that greets him back of the
table than the SAVIOR of the stews,
the excellence of the pudding and the
absence of water in his coffee.
The young man goes where he is
made welcome and where there is a
suggestion of feminine interest about
his meals. And, apparently-from the
already quoted statistics-the young
man eventually marries the waitress
with the white apron. the ingratiating
smile and the appetizing dish she has
reserved especially for him.
But. still consulting these dray
dust statistics, we discover that the
waitress after marriage continues to
wait This argues one of two things
that she is absolutely a modern
woman who believes in keeping her
Job" after marriage, or that her
wages are necessary to keep up the
family budget.
In either case. the figures show
that women who earn their livings by
serving tables marry early and con-
tinue in what economists call gain
full cupation"-otherwise hold on
to their jobs.
Actresses Come Next

honors appear to go to actresses.

How to Conserve
Canning and Packing For Win
tcr's Use Explained I'm Detail by
National War Garden Experts
WATER BOILING

Experienced housewives are some
times uncertain as to when water
really boils. Simmering water is
frequently mistaken for boiling
water, and this is a very serious err
ror when applied to cold pack can
ming. A large amount of steam may
rise and the surface be slightly agi-
tated, but water is not boiling until
large bubbles of steam arise and
burst all over the surface. This ap-
pearance indicates the right tenn
perature, PIP degrees F.. which is
the lowest safe temperature for steri-
lizing in cold pack canning. When
the boiling point is reached, the
water will not become any hotter
even if it boils violently. Begin to
count time when the water boils.
1t is a good plan for the novice in
canning to have directions for the
different steps in canning before her,
so that she can constantly refer to
the printed or script directions-and
also at the outset be sure that she
understands each direction exactly.
These points are covered fully in the
canning and drying manual which
the National War Garden Commits
sion, Washington, will send to you
upon request. A 2-cent stamp to
cover postage should be enclosed.
The blanching water should be
boiling when the product is put into
it. The same water may be used over
again a reasonable number of times
for the same product. but the water
for the cold dip should be changed
each time.
Both fruits and vegetables of diff
ferent sorts may be sterilized in the
same Gamer, and jars may be added
from time to time provided the water
is kept boiling.
On removal from the Gamer,
sometimes the rubbers burst out at
some point. This is due to pressure
of inside steam outward. Fold a
clean towel over the hand, push the
rubber back in place quickly and

Your friendship is certainly not on
a basis to Justify you in making any
demands. Evidently you are one of
many friends in whom this young
man is interested and it seems as if
the friendship were lessening because
of other interests that have come into
his life. If you create situation, I
am afraid you will only put yourself
in a position where the wrong sort of
man might laugh at you and think
you were making a fool of yourself
over him. Truly, the wisest thing for
you to do would be to find other in
terests and just treat this man as the
friendly acquaintance he seems to
consider you.

Advice to the Lovelorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
HELP HIM

HELP HIM
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am eighteen and for a year have
been corresponding with a young
man now in the service. He has been
a close friend of the family for years
Our letters became very Interesting
and affectionate. A couple of months
ago he was on long furlough, called
to see me often and we grew very
fond of each other. 1 had not one
thing against him in fact, 1 thought
him almost perfect, his actions to-
ward myself. mother and sisters were
beyond reproach, until a few days
ago he called and to my astonish-
on him and very soon found out that
he had some with him. This sicken-
ed me so that l wrote and told him
l would have nothing more to do
with him. Since then he has begged
me to forgive him, as he loves me
dearly and was sorry to have caused
me one moments unhappiness. Now,
l think a great deal of this young
man and want to ask you this ques-
ton: Shall 1 give him another
chance?"
MADELINE
or course, give him another
chance. First of all, it isn't fair to
condemn anybody for one mistake or
to refuse him the chance to make
good. Perhaps if you deny this young
man his opportunity you will actual
ly drive him deeper into the throes
of his bad habit. OF course, 1 would
never want any woman to marry a
man who was a slave to the drink
habit; and no girl who has seen the
sorrow drink can bring into a home
would risk it. But your lad is young,
and with your help will probably con-
quer his tempter. Why not help him,
my dear? Continue your friendship.
Some day, when you have helped him
make strong, brave man of him
self, you may consider the more se-
rious question of love.

Aside from the absolute comfort of this
nightgown, its daintiness will appeal to
the girl or woman who likes the simplest
OF garments for summer wear. There are
no sleeves, but the armholes are cut very
deep, and the neck is cut V shape at front
and back. There are two shallow plaits
taken at each shoulder to give added full
ness. The edges are turned in and hem
stitched. The plain front suggests using
simple embroidery design. Flesh COL
ored batiste is a favorite material for
nishtgowns, but nainsook, Iongcloth. cot

Why don't you make things suf-

the young man will want to call on
your sister there? Perhaps if you
stop discussing him with her and
warning her against him, some of

part. A young girl often naturally
enough has a perverse fondness for
the man she imagines she is protect
ing from the unfair verdict of the
