Freedom, Implies Responsibility" and When Men and
 Women Demand Independence of Thought and Action
 They Must be Willing to Assume the Burden of Results

Journey to and fro across stormy ocean and faced death by storm and pestilence to establish liberty of con- science in a new land for the order of Friends" of whom he was one; a bold and steadfast soul William Penn de- manded freedom and shrank not from the penalty of the bearing it imposed.
 The man of pioneer spirit, no matter in what form it manifests Itself, cannot follow docilely beaten track; he must have liberty for self-development and self expression; unafraid he goes for ward knowing that within himself is somewhere hidden a reserve force that will overcome obstacles which have proved stumbling blocks to other men.
 It is this call to freedom that impels
 the youth who marries his still more youthful wife to depart from his pa rents roof--that leads him to kindle fire upon his own hearthstone, feeling meanwhile, within himself the power to keep that sacred altar flame alight; others wonder at his courage; but just as a young tree knows it's own power of expansion and growth, so the youthful man realizes that ability to strike roots deep into the soil; to extend the shelter of his personality of character as the tree spreads it's branches in protection of birds that lodge amid it's leaves; to lift its head as a pine tree lifts it's plumed crest to heaven and the sun, whence man and tree derives inspira- ton and strength.
 But the mans face grows scanned from care and the trunk of the tree is deeply etched by the hand of time, yet each has expanded as only strong liv- ing things can; man and tree have de- fled tempests; have been beaten upon by rains; weighed down with sleet; cum bered heavily with snow; but such men and such trees are the great shelters of life; their strength is sanctuary for all those who are weak; they have tri- umphed over overwhelming odds; they have demanded freedom and gladly paid the pricei

If 0l AVE you ever noticed In a con lT1I vent, the youth upon the faces
 of many religiouse who are well advanced in years?
 Notice it the next time you happen to pay a visit to a convent and see if it doesn't impress you that way.
 How do you account for it?" I heard woman ask the other day. when the subject was mentioned. and somebody feplied quickly, lack of responsibility"
 And it is quite true to an extent, for with the exception of few strong dominant, executive women, at the head of convent the rest of them are as free from responsibility as the school girls by whom they are surrounded; true, their withdrawal from the world was voluntary and their restrictions of life most gentle, yet nevertheless they had committed the guiding of their days to other wills than their own; their happy countenances indicate it.
 Freedom" says a modern author, Implies responsibility and whenever men or women demand independence of thought and action, they must assume the burden of whatever results from such course; as witness the Bishop of Princhester in MT. H. G. Wells vital book The Soul of a Bishop"
 Some people there are to be sure, who are eminently fitted to Ego forward" Hike William Penn, for example, whose entire life was one of action followed by cheerful assumption of grave re- responsibilities that resulted therefrom.
 Contrast the familiar portrait of the old Quaker colonist after he had found led and developed Pennsylvania, with the portraits of him when he was a rich and care-free youth and you'll find that it is not merely years that make the difference between the debonnaire vet

 HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE
 Evidence seems to prove that this is germ disease, spread principally by human contact, chiefly through cough ing. sneezing or splitting. So avoid per ing crowds--common drinking cups, roller towels, etc. Keep up your bodily strength by plenty of exercise in the open air, and good food.
 KEEP FREE FROM COLDS
 Above all, avoid colds. as colds irri- tate the lining of the air passages and render them much better breeding places for the germs.
 Use Vicks Vapo-Rub at the very first sign of cold. For a head cold. melt a little Vapo- Rub in spoon and inhale the vapors, or better still, use Vapo- Rub in benzoin steam kettle. If this is not available. use an ordinary tea kettle.

1A AIRS. JAMES R. IIAGAN of Mobile, UW president of the Alabama Federal NV0 ton of women's clubs has sent out the following letter to the club wom- en of the state:
 "The Alabama Federation of Women's clubs, through it's president, most hearti- ly endorses the work of the Y. w. C. A., in it's splendid efforts in behalf of women in the cities. in the munition fac tories, emigrant women, the Travellers Aid, and the so much needed hostess houses at the army, navy and aviation camps at home and abroad.
 Tt is hoped that every club woman in the state will assist in the united war work fund drive in the week of NoYem- Der Il as the Y ". c. A. receives a generous percentage of this fund"
 The federation of clubs is probably the largest and most influential body of women in the state, and its past rec ord of achievement, it's firm establish rnent in the confidence of the public, make it's endorsement of any measure a great help to that measure.
 Numbers of women prominently identi- fled with the federation throughout It's so years of existence are working active- ly in the united war work campaign Mrs Erwin Craighead and Mrs. Rhett Goode of Mobile, Mrs. w. A, Gayle and Mrs Charles Henderson of Montgomery, Mrs. B. B. Ross of Auburn, Mrs. J. D. Wyker of Decatur, Mrs. Joseph McLester and Mrs L. J. Haley of Birmingham, and Mrs. J. F. Hooper of Selma, who are all past presidents of the Alabama Fed eration of Womens clubs, are now chair men and leaders in the united war work campaign.
