Women of America
Should Call a Halt or
Fickleness of Fashions
»>, * *
By HELEN RING ROBINSON. State Senior In
Colorado
IT is full time now for American women to consider the hysteria o
dress in this country, with its trail of folly and waste and wanton
ness.
WOMEN RAVE SUFFERED FROM THIS AILMENT, N(
DOUBT, AND MEN WITH THEM, EVER SINCE EVE LEF'J
TlIE GARDEN OF EDEN, TAKING WITH HER THE TWC
POSSESSIONS SHE HAD ACQUIRED THERE—CLOTHES AN I
A UTSBAND.
But never before has this form of hysteria been so general as here ii
America during the past few years, with all sorts and conditions of wo
men straining to wear the latest desperate fashion in clothes, whili
av,aiding often the appearance of wearing any.
NEVER WAS THERE SUCH A DETERMINATION ON THE PART Of
EVERYBODY TO LOOK LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE—ONLY MORE SO
NEVER WAS THERE SUCH A FRENZY OF FICKLENESS. NEVEF
SUCH A TYRANNY OF CHANGE.
Let women leaders in the peace movement and the suffrage move
ment and, above all, let leaders of fashion proclaim a three years' truci
for styles.
Let them agree to demobilize the fashion plate and disarm the fash
ion mongers.
Too Large a House May Prove a Burden
Rather Than a Happiness
By WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN. Secretary of State
WE need homes, we all need shelter, and we need about the sami
amount. In fact, God was very democratic in the distribution o:
our needs, for he so created us that our needs are about the same
The range of expenditure for homes is probably wider than in the cas<
of either food or clothing. We are interested in the home. I never pasi
a little house where two young people are starting out in life withou1
feeling a sympathetic interest in that home. I never pass a house when
a room is being added without feeling interested, for I know the occu
pants have planned it and looked forward to it and waited for it. I lik<
to see a little house moved back and a larger house built, for I know i
is the fulfillment of a dream. I HAVE HAD SOME OF THESI
DREAMS MYSELF, AND I KNOW HOW THEY LEAD US 0>
AND INSPIRE US TO LARGER EFFORT AND GREATER EN'
DEAVOR, AND YET THERE IS A LIMIT TO THE AMOUN'J
ONE CAN WISELY SPEND EVEN FOR SO GOOD A THING AS
A HOME.
If a man gets too big a house it becomes a burden to him. Not in
frequently a young couple will start out poor and struggle along in i
little house, looking forward to the time when they can build a bij
house.
AFTER AWHILE THE TIME ARRIVES AND THEY BUILD A BIC
HOUSE. LARGER, POSSIBLY, THAN THEY INTENDED TO, AND THEN
THEY STRUGGLE ALONG THE REST OF THEIR LIVES LOOKING BACK
TO THE TIME WHEN THEY LIVED IN A LITTLE HOUSE.
Girls Should Be Taught Practical House
keeping at School
Bg Mrs. CHRISTINE FREDERICK. Author and Domestic Scientist
THERE should be cooking classes in the schools for children nine, ten
eleven years old. At that stage they love making things, and we
ought to take advantage of their instinct. When a girl gets intc
high school I believe she should devote two hours a week to a course in
homemaking, which should include actual practical experience. Each
school should have a model flat, run in turn by groups of girls. THEN
EVERY GIRL WOULD HAVE THE DRILL OF BUYING, COOK
ING AND KEEPING HOUSE FOR A FAMILY INSTEAD OF
MERELY ACQUIRING KNOWLEDGE OF A LOT OF ISOLATED
RECIPES, AS TOO OFTEN HAPPENS IN THE CONVENTION
AL COOKING CLASS.
Then a girl ought to learn not merely how to cook, but WHY" to
cook. That is, she ought to know about food elements, how to balance
protein, fats, starches and sugars so as to obtain the most nutritive com
binations at a single meal.
A VERY COMMON MISTAKE IS TO SUPPOSE THAT A DINNER COST
ING FIVE DOLLARS IS FIVE TIMES AS NOURISHING AS A DINNER
COSTING ONF DOLLAR. PROBABLY THE LESS EXPENSIVE MEAL
ACTUALLY CONTAINS MORE NOURISHMENT THAN THE OTHER.
Besides studying the preparation and composition of food every girl
should learn how to buy it. She should go to market, accompanied by
teacher or mother or experienced buyer, and learn how to select good,
reasonably priced food. She should learn to stick to the seasonable fruits

Truths of the Bible Upheld bu Discov
eries of Science
By Rev. Dr. FRANK GUNSAULUS of lhe Armour Institute, Chicago
T
HERE lias boon no scientific discovery of the last twenty years that
ilons not uphold the trutns ot' the Bible and that is not found bet
ter stated in the Bible. Man for the last twenty years has been
worshiping in the language of science. The cellular structure of man
uicaus infinite love. There is no such thing as an atheistic man, even
as there is no such thing as an atheistic rose. The sun thirst of the
rose keeps it true, and the God thirst of man makes him know the truth.
AS COMES TI1E SUXSIIIXE TO REVEAL THE SUN TO THE
ROSES, SO COMES C'III! 1ST TO REVEAL GOD TO MAN.
The church of today must be prepared for what will come at the
close of this terrible war.
The church must get ready, for the fact is that with the overthrow
of materialism, which has come about in the last twenty years, our dan
ger is on the direction of auti-realism, of too much idealism, of an utter
pantheism.
ONLY THE OTHER DAY WE WONDERED IF WE HAD A SOUL. TO
DAY WE WONDER IF WE HAVE A BODY. THE SOUL HAS COME IN
AT THE FRONT DOOR.
ACT QUICKLY
Oelav Has Been Daugcrous in Al
aska
Do the right thing at the right
time.
Act quickly in timo of danger.
Iu time of kidney danger Doan's
Kiduey Pills aro most effective.
Plenty of evidence of their worth
Mrs. M. E. Cook, Stato St., Sedr(
Wooliey, Wash., says: "I straiucl
my b:ick while lifting and it was
lame and weak for a long time. 1
had sharp, shooting pains in my
back, and if 1 stooged it was hard
for mo to straighten, it was alsc
hard for mo to get uu from a chair.
I was bothered by too frequent pas
sages of the kidney secretions al
times, tiieu again they didn't pass
?ften enough. 1 doctored, but got
no better, and finally I decided to
try Doan's Kidney I'ills. After 1
had taken a few doses, 1 found
they wero helping mt and I contlnu
ed using them until I was fixed up
iu good shape."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simplv' ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mrs. Cook had. Foster-.Milbnrn
