WATER ON THE BRAIN.

(Winning Post, London)
I suppose we're lot of heathens,
Don't live on the angel plan,
But were sticking it here in the
trenches.
And doing the best we can.
When preachers over in Blighty,
Who talk about Kingdom Come,
Amt pleased with our performance,
And are wanting to stop our rum,
Water, they say, would be better;
Water! Great God, out here?
Why, we're up to our knees in water
Do you think we're standing in beer ?
OH it sounds all right from the pulpit,
When you sit in a cushioned pew;
But try four days in the trenches
And see what water will do.
Some of the coffin faced blighters
l think must be German bred;
It's time that they called in the doctor
For it's water they have in the head

l jays VINO are observing meat
less days six times q week or
~ more; deserving men, who lack
the price to buy pork just off
the ice, at any butchers store. And
countless people go their ways who
find some thirty wheatless days In
every month that flies; hard luck and
sickness and Despair have stripped
their humble larders bare of dough-
nuts, loaves and pies. And they must
heave sickly smile when they OBJ
serve the buoyant style in which we
make our boast, that once week, with
martyr zeal, we cut out mutton, pork
and veal, and shoe away the roast.
And they must shed weary sigh
when we inform the passers by how
we. with courage high, eschew the loaf
of snowy bread, and fill ourselves with
bran instead, and make the corn cakes
fly. Cheer up! The worst is yet to
come! Before the voice of war Is
dumb we may be eating hay; we'll
doubtless know what grief is then,
and wish we might observe again the
old time meatless day. For meatless
days don't represent a sacrifice to any
gent in this, my neighborhood, man
passes up the red meat" dish to eat
q turkey or fish, or something just
as good

in the Homeric era called the sick

And from his time up to this twenti-
eth century many a strong man,
both mentally and physically has had
this being seized upon" (That Is
what the word Epilepsy means). In
the cases of men of large affairs and
great responsibilities, OF world-com-
pellers, civilization moulders-
civilization wreckers-men accus-
toned to think in terms Of empires
and Of catastrophes, there Is likely
to be intense cerebraaon, which
must somehow or another dissipate

kind Of electrical cerebral explosion
Such Is the explanation Of the cpl
Ieptic fit or its psychic equivalent"
In such reputed epileptics as Caesar,
Alexander, Mohommed Napoleon,
Peter the Great and many another.
Such a brain storm RACES in the
cerebral cortex which Ia to the brain

SYM PATHETIC
R E S P O N s E
BY Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: My daughter,
who Is IL, insists upon wearing her
dress above her knees. What would
you advise me to do in this case?
MRS. B.
Payette, Ida.
II she will not listen to your ad-
vice as to proper and decent attire,
perhaps the only alternative is to buy
longer dresses for her. II the daugh-
ter will not wear them let her wear
old clothes.
Dear Mrs. thompson I am a girl
70 years old and have gone with one
boy ever since l was II. He has been
jealous of my affections and thought
he expected to marry me. because he
always said that was the only girl
he ever loved. He went to the officers
reserve camp and met the daughter of
a captain. He seemed to fall in love
with her at first sight and they were
married after three months acquaint-
ance. Do you think he had any right
to do this? NJ. r.
Idaho Falls, Ida.
My dear girl, it is circumstance
which seems inevitable. The boy was
probably young and did not feel pre-
pared to marry until he met the cap
tain's daughter and then he became
infatuated with her. He did not mean
to hurt you and probably does not
realize to what extent he has. He
should never have claimed all your
time without meaning that he would
! a nd. oh ha1
given him all your time and thought
without being engaged to him. girl
simply cheats herself when she limits
herself to one boy friend. You are still
young and have a great deal of happi-
ness ahead of you If you refuse to
grieve and make up your mind that If
that boy wasn't for you some other boy
will be.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am going
with a young man who is one of three
children-they are all boys. The other
two are married and have their own
homes. The young man l am going
with has said that he loved me and
wants to marry me, and his mother
acts so he doesn't know what to do.
He isn't making much money and he
doesn't see how he can take care Of
both of us alone. His brothers do not
feel any responsibility to furnish
money, but one Of them has said that
his mother can make her home with
him, which she refuses to do.
Do you think my friends duty Is to
his mother in this case or do you think
it would be all right for him to disre-
let her live with her other son until
we get started in our married life?
This young man cannot go to war be-
cause his trigger finger is gone. He
lost it in an accident,when he was just
little boy. Please give us your best
advice. LUCILLE.
Boise, Ida.
The boys mother is very selfish-she
thinks only of herself instead of her
scr's welfare. He should use his own
judgment and do the thing he sees Is
best. l think it would be far better for
the mother to live with her other son
for a year or two while you establish
your little home for her to come to
later.
Duty Is a word which is often mis-
interpreted. / think his duty Is to the
girl in this case. II he marries 1t does
not mean that he will forget his duty
to his mother and neglect her.
