MADAME GRUMPY is NO MORE
Great World War Is Alleged to Be Re-
sponslble for the Collapse Of
Her Throne.

One highly significant parsonage
has quietly disappeared from public
view in the course Of the war-a very
great and powerful lady who, though
commoner in name, style and title,
exercised more royal sway upon
our lives and our opinions not long
since, says the London Gentlewoman.
True, her dictates and rulings had,
of late years, become Of lessened re-
gard, and her pertinacious author
ity had met with some ridicule in
stead of the almost universal rev.
erence of former days; still this ST.
lent resignation, this complete re-
tirement from the arena, is surpris-
ing, and more surprising still is the
fact that nobody seems to have noted
it. Can it be that Mrs. Grundy is
definitely defunct? In the strictest
confidence, almost in whisper, let
us agree that she has had long
inning, and that we will try to man
age to get along as best we may with
out her.
With womankind working in male
attire, and doing all sorts of things
of the most ungrundifed descrip-
ton; with sort of grownup feeling
that we can manage our own lives by
the light of our own good sense and
good taste, and with a profound con-
viction that the future must be bet
ter than the past, let us trust that
she has gone and left no issue.

MANS DUTY IS TO KEEP FIT
Walk to and From Business and Fill
Lungs With Fresh Air, Urges the
Pattsburg Manual.

The greatest problem you will
have to solve will be that Of making
your body do the work required.
Some men have to leave the train
ing camps because they are not in
the proper physical condition to go
on with the work, says the Platts-
burg Manual.
If you have not a pair of sensible
marching shoes (tan hightops, no
hooks on them) get pair. These
shoes should be considerably larger
than a pair of office shoes.
Walk to and from your business.
Take every opportunity to get out in
the country where the air is pure.
Fill your lungs full. Get into the
habit of taking deep breaths now and
then. Don't make this a task, but
surround it with pleasantries. Get
some delightful companion to walk
with you. Walk vigorously. Let
down on your smoking. Better to
leave it alone for while. You will
enjoy the air. Deep breathing seems
to be more natural.
Make it work for your country,
View it in that light. If you are not
going to be called upon to undergo
cruel hardships and physical strain
of some campaigns, your son will be,
and you can be of great help to him
by being fit yourself.

NO TIME FOR TINXERING

There are still a number of people

tons in some western states.
When one stops to think what
would have happened to our country
II the seven hundred amendments
proposed to our federal constitu-
ton in the past twenty years had all
been adopted. he hesitates.
The single great fact remains that
the federal and state constitu-
lions have been tested out by exper-
ience and found adequate to the
strain Of successfully carrying on
the greatest war in history.
It does not seem q favorable time
to alter radically the basis Of our
state or federal government when
we are engaged in hand to hand

autocracy for the whole world.

framed the federal charter of our in
