lev it and expect it: They expect a
woman, if she is a good shopper, to
'look around little"
If a woman should walk into a re
tail store and purchase the first suit
that she tried on, for instance, the
shock probably would prove fatal to
the storekeeper or the saleswoman.
The chances are that she will try on
a dozen suits and look at as many
more before she selects one that suits
her taste or pocketbook, and the store
keeper not only expects but wishes
her to do this. He wishes her to be
satisfied as he knows that a satisfied
customer is the best advertisement
that he can obtain.
Taking Chance.
This same woman, however, may or
der q suit from mail order house on
the strength of nothing more than a
pretty picture and an alluring descrip-
ton. She has not even the opportun-
ity to try it on, to say nothing of the
chance of examining the fabric, noting
the exact shade of the material and
inspecting the workmanship. She is
taking chances on the suit fitting her,
on the material being good and dur
able, the shade becoming to her and
the workmanship of such a character
that the suit will not fall to pieces.
The woman who takes such chances
cannot be called a shrewd shopper.
1t might be more easily understood
why mere man, unaccustOmed and
averse, as a rule, to shopping excur-
siOns, should fall a victim to the cata-
lOgue habit He might find it easier
to order from the picture in the cata-
lOgue than to go to a store and look
for the article that he wanted or he
might take the position that he
wouldn't know what he was getting
anyway if he went to the store and
he might as we'll take a chance on the
mail order gamble, but why the wom-
an who knows what she wants and
knows that she is getting what she
wants when she gets it should buy on
the 'sight unseen" plan-well, that's
another question altogether.
Woman's Greatest Opportunity.
Women are taking more and more
prominent part in public affairs ali
the time. They are aiding now in
many parts of the country in running
the affairs Of state. Even where they
do not have the ballot they are playing
a big part, individually and through
their organizations, in the conduct par
ticularly of local governments, yet in
the one field where they can do most
to help build up> their communities
they may be overlooking their oppor
tunity. With the buying power in
their hands they can do more for their
community by stanchly supporting
their home business men than they
can possibly do in any other way.
Man may think he is very impor-
tant element in the progress and devel-
opment of his town but when he re-
fleets that 80 per cent of the buying
power of the community is in the
hands of the women he is apt to real
lie that he is a very insignificant atom.

REG. ARMY ENLISTMENTS
SURPASS EXPECTATIONS

The year of intensive recruiting for
the regular army by voluntary enlist
ment ended with the close of business
at the recruiting offices on Saturday.
Figures of Saturdays enlistments will
noe be available until Monday, but
the showing up to the close of bus
mess on Friday night brings the total
enlisted strength of the regular army
to more than 100000.
The regular army in 1917, con-
sisted of 121,797 enlisted men, and in
order to bring it to full war strength
it was necessary to obtain 183, 1898 adj
ditiOnal sources for all branches Of
the service. Including the number of
Fridays enlistments the number Of
recruits obtained since April 1 was
398,1O5. This figure, added to the en-
listed strength on April 1 gives to-
tai of 1902 but this must be reduc-
ed by about $4,000 due to deaths, ex-
piration of enlistments, etc.
Since the United States entered the
war the president has been author
lied to organize new units and to en-
list men for them within his discre-
ton This authority has lifted the lid
off the prior fixed limit.
When the recruiting campaign was
begun on April 1 each state and the
District of Columbia was allotted a

certain quota of enlistments based on
population and prior enlistments. On
ly eight states have failed to complete
their quota. Six of them are in the
south.
Vermont is the only northern state
to fail, lacking IA to fill its allotment
of no up to Saturday. Wisconsin is
the only western state that has failed
to fill its quota. It was allotted 1866
and is still shy 1872. Arkansas, Louis
lana, Missouri, North Carolina, Miss
issippi, South Carolina and Virginia
are far below their quotas.

KEEPS VITAL POINTS SAFE
Medical Explanation Of Work Per-
formed by Fluid Which Bathes
Brain and Spinal Cord.

Until very recently the exact role
played by the cerebro-spinaI fluid
that watery substance which bathes
the brain and spinal cord-was not
understood. But nowadays it is.
common practice among surgeons to
squirt drugs into the tissues contain
ing this fluid or TO draw out drop or
two Of 1T for examination.
The Journal of the American Medi
cal Association, commenting on an ad-
dress by DIR. w. ID. Halliburton be-
fore the Royal Society of Medicine,
says he describes the cerebro-spinal
fluid as an ideal physiologic solution
In which the exquisitely sensitive nerv-
GUS system is always bathed.
This fluid does not, like the lymph,
arise from the blood by exhibition of
serum through the walls of the capil-
laries, but is the product. Of the Sc
GREETING cells Of whatsare called the
choroid plexuses in the ventricles of
the brain. The pressure under which
the fluid always exists is due to the
secretory pressure of these cells and
not to the blood. And there are
scarcely any proteins found in 1t.
Halliburton says that in order to keep
out the harmful protefns, which would
poison the nerves, the harmless ones
also are almost completely excluded.
The membranes that line the spaces
in which the fluid is found seem to
permit substances to pass from 1t to
the blood, but to be impermeable Tex

the blood to the fluid. The value of
this arrangement is that when pol
sons enter the blood, as they do so
easily, they are kept away from the
delicate nerves.

When Dog Sought HE Master.

When Dog Sought HE Master.
There is a story In the American
Magazine In which a writer says:
"He had come many miles. He had
many miles yet to go. From sleeping
farmhouses dogs bayed him as he
passed, running like big fox, silent
and swift. The road turned and twist

Of coming day. 1t grew brighter with
the passing miles. 1t drew him on.
The distance would have meant little
to him, except for the tremendous
speed at which he had been travelling.
Now his chest was flecked with foam.
His tail, carried usually so proudly,
followed the curve of his launches.

chanically like pistons. His heart
pounded his long, lean, red ribs.

EIGHTEEN YEARS ON ISLAND
Experience Of Indian Woman Makes
That Of Robinson crusoe Appear .
Mere Incident

1t would appear that Alexander Sci
kinks brief stay on Juan Fernandez
island was trivial, either In the hard
ships endured or the difficulties over
come, compared with that Of woman
on an island opposite the Californian
peninsula.
1t seems that the Catholic fathers
at Santa Barbara were once transport
ing the natives of the island of st.
Nicholas to the mainland. Among
them was a mother who discovered
that her babe had been left behind.
She begged that the vessel might be
put back, but the captain refused.
She then leaped into the sea TO swim
ashore, but as storm prevailed, all
on board thought she was drowned.
Eighteen years afterward q company
landed on the island. They found
traces Of life, and after long search
discovered the woman and took her
with them. The poor woman never
found her babe, but had managed to
live In comparative comfort, though
very lonely. After her long life In the
open, she could not endure the confine.
ment OF house, and soon sickened
and died.

Grandmother kept her hair beautifully

MUST USE LESS SUGAR:
ALLIED NEEDS GROW
Americans Asked to Use No More Than
Two Pounds Per Person
Per Month.
Shortage May Last Until Beginning of 1919,
When New Sugar Crop Arrives.

After making a careful survey of the
Administration has asked the Ameri-
can public to USE NO MORE THAN
TWO POUNDS OF SUGAR PER PER-
SON A MONTH until January 1. 1919.
Increased sugar demands from the
Allied nationsEwhere the present sug-
ar ration is already reduced to the
lowest possible level-and the need Of
keeping our army and navy supplied
are two of the leading causes of the
curtailment Of Americas sugar ration.
Americans are requested to make
two pounds of sugar per person (half
a pound week. serve for all sugar
uses in the Notwithstanding cook
ing and all sugar served at the table.
Public eating places, as well an
housewives, will be required to limit
their use OF sugar to two pounds for
every ninety meals served. In the
q. s. Food Administrations cafeteria
at Washington, where employees of the
Food Administration take their noon
meal, one pound of sugar is used for
every 120 meals served
The q. s. Food Administration is
confident that the American public will
heartily agree to reduce household use
of sugar here to level more nearly
equal to the present restrictions
AMONG the Allied nations
The situation which the United
States faces In It's efforts to maintain
fair distribution of sugar to the Al
lied world is as follows:
