They WIN Come Home Clean.
NOTED

The American forces in France
have the cleanest record as re-
CARDS morality of any army in the
history of the world. This is a
record In which we who know can
take great pride and greater in
spiration. 1t adds one more pow
erful argument to the teaching
that purity of conduct is compati-
BILE with the highest manhood, that
there is no reason why any man
should ever for an instant lose his
self-respect and his respect for
womanhood. 1t is a record which
ought to fill every soldiers moth
er, wife or sweetheart with thank
fulness to General Pershing and
those about him.
A young man who has the moral
self-confidence to say NO never
takes his first drink. If his moth
er has exacted from him a solemn
pledge, that gives him greater
strength to say NO, and NO with
out explanation or apology. If the
young man doesn't take his first
drink he will never be tortured by
a craving for drink. He just won't
have any need of alcohol in his
life.
If a young mans father is a he
man with a backbone he will like
wise, at the proper time, exact
from the boy a solemn pledge OF
abstinence from the more ruinous
sin that goes hand in hand with in
temperance. The proper time is
when the boy is about to leave
home, when he is seventeen or
eighteen years old. 1t is a great
thing for boy to come home clean
1t is a thing for which his parents
may be thankful, and for which
they are, to this extent at least, re-
sponsible. If they let the boy go
away unpledged and untutored
they fail in a plain duty.
Parents too often forget that
there are everywhere men of a de-
generate type who are eager for a
chance to mfsinform the untutored
lad and lead him astray in his
ignorance. There can be no ques-
ton in the mind of a physician OF
experience that the moral ruin, if
not the physical degeneration, OF
many a promising lad is brought
about in just this way-thanks to
the negligence of procrastinating
or cowardly parents.
The boys over there have learn

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Tattoo Marks.

Tattoo Marks.
Is there any known method or re-
moving tattoo marks from the
skin? If E. K.)
Answer-Only by operation. 1t
is serious mistake to be tattooed.
Arthritis and rheumatism.
Please explain the difference be-
tween chronic arthritis, chronic
rheumatism, rheumatoid arthritis,
and neuritis. CIV. w. Al
Answer-Arthritis is the medical
term for inflammation of a joint.
Chronic means prolonged duration.
Rheumatism means anything and
everything or in reality nothing in
particular; the term is applied
when the nature of the condition is
not understood. Rheumatoid
means like rheumatism; this term
was applied to a frequent type OF
Joint Inflammation seen in women
past thirty-five years of age (ch1ef-
ly), the small joints of hands or
feet and later larger joints being
affected, especially spinal joints.
Neuritis means nerve inflamma-
ton, and except in a very crude
way is not confused with joint dis
ease. The usual cause of chronic
Joint inflammation, whatever name
it may be given, is focal infection;
the septic focus may be found
about the teeth or gums, in the
tonsiIs, in a diseased sinus in the
nose, in the gall-sac or appendix,
in the pelvic organs, or elsewhere
in the body.
Enema Habit.
In your opinion is daily enema
to wash out the lower bowel an
important factor of good health?
IF. RI
Answer-In certain disease con-
ditions daily enema may be re-
quired for a limited period. But
the habit of taking an enema ev-
cry day is very injurious in the
long run. 1t causes the most OBJ
stinate form of constipation, due
to dilated lower bowel. Medical
physics, though not exactly advis-
able for habitual use, are far less
injurious than daily Injections.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: / have
been going with a young man for
some time and for the last few
times that he has been in my pres
ence he would Just sing or whistle
and did not talk very much. DO
you think that he doesn't enjoy my
company any more? 1 would like
to break him from this without
hurting his feelings. When we 90
out together with other girls and
boys he whistles most of the time.
He has told me that he loved me
very much but we are not engaged
Should l let him kiss me good
night or refuse? ! love him and
do not want to give him up. Will
you tell me what to do?
WAITING.
I should judge that the boy IS
young and inexperienced. He is
seIf-centered and wants to be en-
tertained without exerting himself
to be pleasant. Don't be afraid OF
his moods. Most girls cater to
sulkiness and are fearful lest they
do or say something TO offend fur
Their.
Do not kiss him goodnight. Il
he enjoys your personality instead
of your kisses there is little dan
ger that you will have to give him
up.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: l have a
friend in the army of whom |
thought good deal, but have
fouDd that NV love is not tho trua
love and that I cannot marry him.
When he left he gave me a watch
as friendship present. Shall !
write and tell him l no longer care
for him and return his watch, or
shall l keep him believing that l
still love him? 1 am only Is years
old. My father thinks a lot of this
boy. Mother is dead. N. L. V.
Think of the boy as dear friend
and write to him as such, if you
can. Do not return the watch until
he comes back after the war is over.
If he detects change in your at
titude and questions you about it.
tell the truth in as kind a way as
you can. OF course you are too
young to be seriously in love.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Though
only Is years old, l think I am in
love. 1t is not puppy love" either

with a girl the same year in school.
She is blonde and very cookbook

Q) You are too young to 90 with
boys.
C2) It is not an asset to be the
type of girl who is widely noticed
by boys. Be modest and content
yourself with two or three good
friends. Always pay strict atten-
ton to your own business when on
the street and do not notice whether
or not boys are looking at you.
90 Yes, you can get an address
from the Y. NJ. c. A, but you are
too young to write TO soldiers IN
less they are already your friends.
A boy who received a letter from
you probably would consider YOU
forward. Do not attempt a cores
pondence with soldier.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Can you

Anti-Suffragists Would
 Have Amendment Voted
 On Again in New York

Albany, N r., January S.-Readmis- sion to the electorate of the eoua1 suffrage amendment to the constitu- ton, in order that the women may nave an opportunity to express their sentiments on the question, was de- manded in a resolution adopted today by a meeting of representatives of 26 or the county auxiliaries of the New York State Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage.
 The resolution declared that equal suffrage was imposed on the state by tho alien, pacifist and socialist vote in New York city" and that refer endum on the proposition had never been granted to the women them selves
 Tt is logical" the resolutions con- tinued, that this should be our first legislative appeal as voters, and only reasonable that We be afforded this opportunity. Therefore, be it resolved, that we, the enfranc chised women of New York state, who oppose woman suHrage, demand a resubmission of this measure in order that now, at least, women themselves may register their will On this question"
 Plans adopted by the anti-suffra- gists provided for organizations in ev- cry election district for the purpose of conducting "a campaign of educa- tion and agitation which will reacl, every home and be carried to the poll ing places on election days until their object Is accomplished
