The effect of the world war is maxi
ing itself felt In the currents Of our
everyday life. Commercial, civic, So
cial and personal activities have all,
to a o or less degree, been SUBJ
jected to a certain process of readjust-
ment in u effort to win this struggle
for a peace that will embrace and sue
cor the world. Therefore, writes Edith
M. Burtis, In the Peoples Home Jour
nal, it has become necessary for wom-
ems as well as mems apparel to con
form to government rulings, so that
the necessary conservation of material
and labor shall be maintained, and all
unnecessary waste eliminated.
There has been considerable discus
sion about essentials and nonessen-

considered in their relation to this
matter. Fortunately for women, and
for the results expected from them In
their taking up the work of men, cor
sets are included in the essential class.
If a reverse decision had been reached,
I am convinced it would not only have
resulted in suffering, ill-health and
