WOMEN GIVEN
 CHANGE TO STUDYl
Homo Sanitation, Care of Sick, Etc. Arc Included in Red Cross
 Instruction Plans.

New York, Oct. 16.-Every woman8 in America will be offered instructiona in home sanitation, hygiene, care of the sick and dietetics, under plans now being formulated by the Ameri- can Red Cross, Miss Clara D. Noyes,j who succeeded Jane A. Delano as di-i rector of the department of nursing,f announced today. These courses are now being introduced in the public schools and colleges, she said, and classes are being reorganized among women in various industries to enable them to combat scientifically childtl mortality, malnutrition and insani@ tary living conditions. The thousands of nurses who served in the war are enlisted for this work.
 While statistics show that 4S,000 American soldiers were killed in battle during the war, she said, 30O,000 children had died in America in that time and most of them could have been saved through proper nurs- ing and the care of their mothers health. Miss Moves declared that 16,000 women die every year in giv- ing birth to children and that most Of them die from preventable causes.
 In spite of anti-toXin, she said, 15,O00 children die yearly of diph- theria, and between 150,000 and 2OO,O0 young men and women die of tuberculosis, a preventable disease, during the same period. The influ- enza epidemic, she added, has world casualty list of 6,000,000.

BERLIN NEVIS AGITATION ON FOR
 POST OFFICE UNION Time HOnOred Controversy Be- tween Kensington and Berlin On WELCOME HOME SATURDAY
Baseball Game Will Be One of the Features-AutO, Towing Another, Loses Companion on Slippery Street Other News Items of Interest.

A number of prominent citizens in Berlin and kensington are agitating for the consolidation of the two post offices and make one serve the pur- pose where one did before. This sub ject is not new one aS the cOnSO1i- datiOn of the two offices was brought up several years ago. Many arguments have been advanced pro and con for weight while others lack sense. Dur ing fair week there was confusion among the different concessionists and others who had all their mail ad- -dressed to Berlin. They were not aware that Kensington existed and consequently sent their mail to the Berlin postoffice with the result that every morning they had mile or two to travel. The interests of Kensington and Berlin are more or less related, which is much in favor of one central postotfice to handle all mail coming to both districts. A number spoke this morning of the possibility of a carrier service twice a day from a central pOstOffice to both districts, thereby making it unnecessary for anyone to go after their mail. The postofice then could take care of the carrying of mails to and from the station, thereby saving on bids which amount to $1,00O a year.
 A Mail for Berlin and Kensington Sftentimes crosses and goes to the op- pos1te offices intended. The postmas- ters of 9Sth offices are very efficient men in their positions and prevent much of this trouble, but with a new man on the job it is argued that there is bound to be confusion. One argu- ment advanced this morning was that man from out west might come to HenSlngton and get a position in one of the local factories and send word to his wife that he had obtained posi- tion in Berlin and could send his mail to Berlin. The letters would come to Berlin although he lived in Kensing- ton. The Berlin postoffice would have no knowledge of any such person and would return the letter. The man in the meantime would be calling at the kensington office for the letter that would never come, With one post office it is argued all the mail for the town would come into central office and there would then be no excuse for failure to deliver

Slackers Set Up

On orders from the Secretary of War
lo9 slackers were last week released
from the disciplinary barracks at Fort
Leavenworth. They had refused to wear
the uniform Of their country. They had
refused to serve in non-combatant sec
tlons of the army. And yet they were
members Of no recognized creed that
sponsors conscientious objectors Thou.
sands of loyal soldiers are still waiting
for pay that is months overdue. Not a
penny of the allotments due their de-
pendents has, in many instances, been
paid since the breadwinner went to war
The government bureaus are behind in
their work. But these Collectors" were
paid for their time. Each one, as he
passed forth to freedom, received from
S4OO to $500. Seeing this, soldier in
the 49th Infantry, recently returned
from France, said; "There isn't an en-
listed man in the army who has saved
$4OO from his pay. And here are these
fellows, released prisoners, walking away
with what seems to the rest Of US a
small fortune"
The injustice has reused resentment,
particularly in the Middle West, where
objectors from other sections have been
sent. The Kansas Legislature in a reso
luton says: "The action of the Secre-
tary of War has brought the blush of
shame to the cheeks of all patriotic
Americans, is an insult to the United
States army and has placed a premium
upon slackerism, cowardice and mawkish
sentimentality"

Forecast Is for Still Driver

Water as beverage is going to eX-
perlence a tremendous popularity the
coming summer if this thing keeps up.
Everybody knows what is going to hap
pen July l in the way of curtailing GER
tam popular brands of thirst quenchers.
but the end is not yet. Those who de-
hight to sip the syrupy soda are going
to have to pay dear for the delectable
compounds of chocolate and vanilla.
Already the government is laving
plans for 10 per cent tax on every
drink that goes over the counter of the
SODA water fountain. That means that
every o cent drink will cost the con-
suTer II cents, and 10-cent drinks are
none too common at the fountain any
more. Now comes the New York Lepis-
lature and purposes to get small matter
OF Sf2,000,000 for the state Tncasurv,bv
taxing the matinee girls favorite con-
lection That is the amount that for
merly was derived from saloon licenses
IL this plan is carried out it probably
means another 10 per cent tax added
to that which the government is plan
nlng to exact. AS it is so much "trou
BILE to make change" the soda water dis
pensares probably will follow the plan
adopted by many of the picture houses
and make the price of the check 'even'
instead of charging p cents or II cents
or y cents, as the case may be-
Candy and drug store men are taking
a gloomy view Of the situation and pre-
dieting that the accumulating taxes on
so1t drinks will mount to such height
that large part of the public will be
forced to restrict itself to the "unadul
terated ale of Father Adam" with the
result that some Of the smaller dealers
may be forced out Of business.
