A WOMAN'S QUESTION.
Do you know you have asked for the
 costliest thing

Do you know you have asked for the costliest thing Ever made by the Hand above A woman's heart and a woman's life, And a woman's wonderful love? Do you know you have asked for this
 priceless thing
 AS a child might ask for a toy, Demanding what others have died to With the reckless dash of a boy? You have written my lesson of duty
 out,
 Man-like you have questioned me Now stand at the bar of my woman's Until I shall question thee. You require your mutton shall always
 be hot,
 Your socks and your shirts shall be
 whole,
 require your heart to be true as
 Gods stars
 And pure as Heaven your soul. You require a cook for your mutton
 and beef;
 require far better thing; A seamstress you're wanting for
 stockings and shirts look for man and a king. A king for a beautiful realm called And a man that the Maker, God, Shall look upon as he did the first and say, Tt is very good" I am fair r>and young, but the rose will
 fade
 From my soft young cheek one day Will you love me then mid the falling
 leaves,
 As you did mid the bloom of May? Is your heart an ocean so strong and
 deep
 I may launch my all on it's tide? A loving woman finds Heaven or Hell On the day she is made bride. I require all things that are grand
 and true, All things that man should be; If you give this all, I would stake my
 life To be all you demand of me. If you cannot do this-a laundress and
 cook You can hire with little to pay; But woman's heart and woman's Are not to be won that way. Lena Lathrop in Kansas City Star.

Ground glass in samples of 6O6, the universally used blood specific, was discovered recently by County Physician Chas. E. Rooney, after he had injected a portion into the arm of a woman about to become a mother.
 The woman was suffering from a terrible blood disease and had appeal ed to the physician for relief.
 Ground glass in large quantities is plainly seen with the naked eye in the powdered remeuy now on hand at the physicians office. COG, or Novarseno- benzoI "biIIon" was formerly only made in Germany, but to avoid the hideousness of death by the ground glass route the medicine is now made in Paris and reaches this country thru Montreal, Canada and is sold by the Brown Prescription Laboratory of Los Angeles to Yuma druggists.
 Just how much of the murderous stuff has been sold in Yuma or it's eff feet, is hard to determine, but there is no doubt of the intent of Germans to murder Americans by the wholesale.
 While glass in food taken into the stomach means quick death, it's injec- tion into the blood thru the veins may be lingering agony, as the glass is very likely inocculated with deadly germs, which nulify the benefits of the blood medicine and hastens death.
 This is the first time Hun fright fitness has been unearthed here since the war began and is a warning to all citizens to beware of fine foods and powdered medicines Dr. Rooney has wired his discovery to Washington.

session of male food administration Of
ficials, would women--not merely a
few well-to-do women. but all of US
be urged and almost commanded to
buy food substitutes more expensive
than the articles for which they are
substituted?
1t Is all very well to remark grandly
that the question of expense should
not matter. that the only thing to be
considered is the saving of certain
sorts of food for our allies. But for 80
per cent of the housewives In this
country the question of expense has
TO matter more enormously than any
other. They must buy the cheapest
fprocurable food. They cannot afford
any other kind.
In New York markets today certain
hcalthful and palatable cuts of beef are
cheaper than most kinds of fish. Does
any woman who ever has stretched II
dollar over the high cost of living
! think that the mothers of the tene-
! ments are going to buy fish instead of
cheap beef? AS for the fowl and game
which We so airly are advised to give
| to our families, it is weeks since any
/ thing that ever wore feathers has come
! within reach OF the moderately lined
pocketbook.
The futility Of telling us to save,
save, when there Is nothing to save,
was illustrated graphically in Packers
town the other day when a group of
investigators found a home with seven
/ children, in which Don't Waste
Food" sign was placed. with uncon-
sciously mordant irony, above the sole
contents of the larder-a pot of weak
coffee, half n loaf of rye bread and a
kettle of cabbage.
1t is not even easy to obtain some
OF the most Wanted of the food sub
stitutes if one can afford them. There
is n distinct shortage OF cornmeal a,
York. During the recent sugar famine
it was nearly impossible TO buy som,
of the most widely advertised corr
syrup substitutes.
Can women cure these absurdities
and injustices? No one knows til
women are given a chance to try. But
as Senator Robinson justly observes
Every woman knows that she can,
not save bread till she has it,
Every woman knows ii Is folly L
get wrinkles round her eyes peeling pc,

are allowed to use potatoes for poke
chips.
Every woman knows that as n re

certain forms of instructive under

capacity. But every observing woman
! knows that women are not permitte,
thus to give their help to their countr,

far more serious waste than an.

Of Interest to Women

mise lines, The things sound shape less. but let any one not experienced in the line of cutting and hanging fabrics in straight, taut lines from shoulder to ankle attempt her first or second or third chemise frock and she will soon discover the fact that the apparently simple models are the most difficult of achievement.
 Furs are very much in evidence and will be more so as the weeks go by and the style impulse is succeeded by the real necessity for their use. Al ready we know that the combination of two contrasting peltries is far more modish than the one fur. There is for instance, a coat of broadtail with deep fringe of monkey fur; and a pony skin jacket with collar of gray squirrel; .likewise cape of chinchilla with trimming of black lynx. Ermine is associated with mole and with seal skin. which nowadays means mostly dyed muskrat.
 Short jackets continue to exploit a belt, and shawl collars vie with. those of the immense funnel type. Cape effects remain fashionable, and long scarfs have not lost prestige. Despite the narrow line of cloth dresses and suits, the fur mantle is of comfortable width. Generally speaking, it is the dclman type that is favored.
