Kindness.

Kindness implies a certain perma-
nence of human quality, general
abiding spiritual atmosphere ratheF
than an impetuous. impulsive act, or
a series of such acts. Freakish gen.
crosby is not kindness at all, nor Is
the mere bestowal of material gifts
from one who can afford 1t to another
who needs them. Kindness is imprint
ed on the serene brow, stamped with
the seal of unself1shness. 1t is the
touch of the divine in the gentle hand.
You will find it in the. soothing ca
dences of the low pitched voice, in the
soft glance of an understanding eye.
Kindness can be passive as well as
active.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS." WEEK.
War Department Commission Wants
Soldiers Kin To Help Maintain
Morale OF Army.

New York, Dec. 3.-The week Of
December Is has been designated by
the War Department Commission on
training camp activities as time for
special letters to be written by moth
ers, fathers, sisters, wives and sweet
hearts of the men now overseas. The
week has been called "Letters-From-
Home" week, and the purpose is to
apply the "home touch" to a broad
gagged military program for maintain
ing the morale of the men who find
themselves idle after weeks of strenu-
Gus fighting. The war department
hopes, through these letters, to keep
the men contented straight" and am
bilious to live up to the high ideals
of American manhood.
A model letter such as the govern
ment wants the mothers and fathers
especially to write has been prepared
by the War Department. This, with
letters from Secretary of War Baker
and Raymond B. Fosdick, chairman
of the commission, indorsing the plan,
has been mailed to newspapers
throughout the country. The letter
particularly asks that the men over
seas direct their attention to whole
some recreation and activities, instead
of to the unwholesome influences that
might result from the enforced period
of idleness wherever large bodies of
troops are awaiting orders to return
home.

Will Be Military And
Civil Governors.

American Army of Occupation
American troops crossed the frontier
into Prussia at daylight behind the
German rear guards. Treves is the
most important city thus far occupied.
American troops are patrolhng scores
OF villages, however.
General Pershing is in the immediate
vicinity to observe the operations. His
advance headquarters will be estab-
lished at 0Tfeves, where General Pres
ton Brown will be military governor
and General Harry A. Smith in charge
of civil affairs.
On Right Bank OF MoseIle.
Treves is situated on the right bank
of the Moselle river, 81 miles south
west of Coblenz. 1t is-.perhaps the
oldest town in Germany and is rich in
Roman relics. Among the main OBJ
jects of interest in the town are the
Cathedral, which is one OF the oldest
in Germany, and the Provincial Mu-
scum, with fine collection of antiqu.-
ties.
Treves became an archiepiscopal see
in the ninth century and the archi-
bishops rose to the position of princes
and occupied a place among the i'm
perial electors. Near the close of the
sixteenth century 1t was recognized as
a free imperial city and the ecclesias-
teal principally was wiped out in the
French revolution. The city and the
territory surrounding it were assigned
to Prussia by the Congress of.Vienna
The population at the outbreak of the
war was about 10000.

CONGRESS HAS BIG
TASK ON HAND
Railroad and Reconstruction
Problems Pressing. z
NOT LIKELY TO FINISH JOB
Army And Navy Programs, Retrench-
ment, War Revenue, Woman
Suffrage And Colombian
Treaty On Calendar.

Washington. Sixty-Fifth Con,
gress began its third and final session
with many important matters before
it. These include solution of the rail-
road problems, the army and navy
problems, reconstruction legislation,
retrenchment in government expendi-
lures, war revenue legislation, woman
suffrage and the Colombian treaty.
In view of President Wilson's state
ment in his annual address to Con-
gress that he does not expect con-
clusion of peace until spring, leaders
expressed doubt whether the present
Senate, which expires by limitation
next March 8, would be called upon to
act on the peace treaty.
Chairman Hitchcock, of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, said he
expected several treaties would result
from the Paris conference-a general
treaty ending the war, with specific,
separate treaties dealing with import
ant matters like freedom of the seas
and league of nations.
Willis Iu0 peace ucSOlIdtiOuo olC
proceeding, extended debate in the
Senate on all phases of the questions
involved is expected by leaders.
Work on the major appropriation
bills, including the Navy measure, al
ready is under way in committees,
but none of them is expected to be
ready for report to the House before
the Christmas recess, as the commit
tees intend to scrutinize all provisions
and pare down expenses wherever
possible.
Immediate steps are planned by
Senate and House leaders to deal with
railroad legislation, probably by a COM
prehensive investigation into all
phases of this admittedly complicated
subject.
Numerous inv cgtigations are in pros
pect on both the Senate and House
sides. The Senate Judiciary Commit
tees inquiry into brewers activities
will be resumed and indefinite investi-
cation of the coal conditions is planned
by the Senate Manufacturers Commit
tee. The Senate Military Committee
will start inquiries into alleged delay
in transmission of Army casualty re-
ports.

Washington.-Any action looking to
a demand upon Holland for the ex-
tradition of William Hohenzollern will
be held in allegiance until the Presi-
dent reaches Europe, according to in
formation at the State Department.
The British and French governments
already have been examining into the
legal questions which might be in

President Wilson, so far as officials
now in Washington are aware, never

The Lutte.

The lutte has vanished. 1t was one
of the oldest of instruments, and had
a beautiful vibrant tone somewhat like
that of the harp. But its size and COM
plexity were against it. 1t had long
tail, and many strings, and while Its
size increased its pow r and range, it
also increased it's weight and made it
cumbrous. The minstrel of today plays
on the mandolin, the guitar or the
banjo-and the lutte is forgotten.

or bestowed by monarch upon his
subject for meritorious services. While
formally this prefix was found in mill

entists, financiers and artists We're so
honored by their monarchs. The title
is either hereditary or ceases with the
death of the distinguished person.

adapting clothes to the weather viii
often prevent unnecessary suffering.
It should be understood perhaps.
first Of all, that heavy clothing does
not necessarily mean warm clothing,
and that the Chinese custom of adding
or taking off outer garments In accord
ance with the weather Is worth con-
sidering.
A chilled body is in q dangerous
state, but, on the other hand, there are
many people who bring about an
equally dangerous condition Of the
body by keeping 1t too warm.
The nature of the work you are do
Ing should, In most cases, determine
the weight, material and character OF
your chothing.
Persons working In heated Office
buildings and factories, or whose occu-
patton keeps them indoors, should not
wear heavy underwear. heavy clothes.
heavy shoes or stockings. Instead,
they should wear lighter clothing and
provide themselves, when necessary
with heavy outer wraps.
Those people whose work keeps
them In the open a large part of the
time should wear sufficient clothing
to prevent their bodies from becoming
chilled.
Be careful in the selection of mate
rails for clothing. 1t may be helpful
to know that, in the order Of warmth.
materials are arranged as follows:
Wool, fur and down, silk, cotton and
linen.
Clothing should not be changed ac-
cording to the calendar, but according
to- the weather, so that the body can
be kept at proper uniform tempera-
ture whatever the season.
Rainy weather presents another
health problem. The sight of thinly
clad ankles splashing through sleet
and rain, uncovered threats and chests
rising above sheer, chiffon blouses
seems to mean only one thing-the
danger signal Of pneumonia, rheuma-
tism, and many other diseases that
will leave their mark on girl or wOm-
an for life.
There are certain "rainy day don'ts"
that are especially essential to health:
l. Don't sit in damp clothing.
2. Don't let it dry on you.
8. Don't forget your overshoes; they
may save your having to change to
dry shoes.
4. Don't wear low slippers and silk
stockings outdoors on rainy day.
s. Don't expose your chest to the
damp and cold weather.
6. Don't get chilled; if you do,
drink something hot to restore natu-
raj circulation. Hot lemonade is
good. -
A normal circulation is the founda-
tion of good health, and anything. that
tends to prevent this is dangerous.
Avoid at all times the use Of tight
clothing tight hats, tight neck-bands.
heavy petticoats or dresses that drag
from the waist and hips, and, above
all, tight corsets.
Tight lacing frequently produces
dyspepsia, malnutrition, vomiting,
shortness of breath, palpitation and
faintness, and gives rise to round
shoulders and STOPPING carriage.
If you wear the proper clothing at
the proper time, safeguarding yourself
from stormy weather, you will find 1t
a valuable aid in keeping yourself
healthy and comfortable. -

Mr.. Wilson left his native shores,
according to persons who conferred
with him before the George Washing

tarism in any form. He feels that the
crushing of Prussian militarism is part
of his plan for the future peace of the
world, these informants said.
In emphasis, it seemed, of Americas
part in bringing about Germany's down

met some of the American hosts re-
turning from overseas. Two thousand

of arrival is uncertain, but quick
passage is not required, as ample time
remains for conferences preliminary
to the main peace assemblage. Off
the French Coast the President will be
welcomed by squadron of American
warships. French, British and Italian
vessels, also, it is expected, will join
in the greeting at sea, which will be
followed by a succession of official
ceremonies marking the progress of
the American Executive to Paris, to
the war front, and presumably to the
capitals of Great Britain, Belgium and
Italy.

it was all right. She was going on as
If nothing had happened.
The other man was Jimmy Wallace
himself. He released, too, a little sigh
of relief when he saw her off in her
stride again after that momentary
falter. But he hardly looked at the
stage after that; stared absently at
his program instead, and presently
availed himself of the dramatic crit.
les license and left the theater.
AS for Rose herself, in her conscious
thoughts she didn't recognize the hope
already beating tumultuously in her
veins, that he would tell Rodney-that
perhaps even before she got back to
her dismal little room, Rodney, pacing
his, would know.
It was so irrational hope-so un.
expected and so we'll disguised-that
she mistook 1t for fear. But fear never
made ones heart glow like that.
That's where all her thoughts were
when John Galbraith halted her on
the way from the dressing room after
the performance was over.
II know you're tired" he said
brusquely. "But fancied you'd be
tireder in the morning, and I have to
leave for New York on the fast train
So, you see, it was now or never"
Strangely enough, that got her. She
stared at him almost in CONSERVATION.
''Do you mean you are going away?'
she asked. Tomorrow"
"Of course" he said, rather sharply.
"I've nothing more to stay around here
for" He added, as she still seemed
not to have got it through her head /:
"My contract with Goldsmith and
Block ended tonight, with the opening
performance"
'Of course" she said in depreciation
Of her stupidity. "And yet it's always
seemed that the show was you; just
something that you made go. It
doesn't seem possible that it could
keep on going with you not there"
The sincerity Of that made it a really
fine compliment-just the sort of COM
pliment he'd appreciate. But-the old
perversity again-the very freedom
with which she said it spoiled it for
him.
II may be missed" he said-it was
more Of growl, really-"but sha'n't
be regretted. There's always sort
of 'Hallelujah chorus set up by the
company when they realize I'm gone"
II shall regret it very much" said
Rose. The words would have set his
blood on fire if she'd just faltered over
them. But she didn't. She was hope
