Have You Had Them?
If you haven't had "Liberty" meas
les you are simply not in it, that's all.
Everybody in our best circles hus had
ihern. There seems to be no trouble
about it. one contracts them Satuc
Iay night and Monday morning they
are out Red Crossing as well as ever.
Saturday at the Fontenelle an in
teresting conversation took place be
tween Miss Menie Davis and Miss
Harriet Smith. They were comparing
notes on the measle subject.
After condoling with each othe;
on how really miserable they looked
and felt Miss Davis said:
"Well, never mind, Harriet, were
In style, anyway."
And there you have it, thought
. Mellificia, you're in style anyway,
whether it's measles or a new hat or
what not.
If you will allow us to jump from
this entrancing subject to clothes wr
would like to chat a minute about
..some of the hats and dresses seen at
the hotel Saturday.
The new spring hats are beginning
to blossom out here and there. Miss
Elizabeth Davis wore a very becom
ing model in red and blue straw, cun
niner litl lfnrh of the straw wer;
placed around the brim, and it was al
together very smart ana springy
looking. Gray seemed to predomi
nate in the new hats. Several little
poke bonnets with coquettish pink
rosebuds placed here and there were
worn by two of the pretty girls. The
winter suit still holds its own. Mrs.
Walter Roberts wears a very becom
ing brown model with brown furs and
a hrnwti tonne which suit this orettv
lyoung matron very well. The cinna
i'mon shade predominated in a number
'of the suits and, with the smart seal
collars and little muffs the giris
looked very "vogney."
Burras.Nath Wedding.

and Private William R. Burras, Com.
pany K, 41st iafantry, took place
Monday evening at the home of the
I bride's mother, Mrs. Byron McGuire.

By ADELAIDE KENNERLY.
FROM out of a boiling pot of civilization, seasoned with unrest and
emotion, conies the woman of today.
JCot the so called "new woman," for women are as old as time.
Their maternal instincts have come down with woman from Mother Eve
and cannot be changed. But their attitude toward men and methods, and
education and life, have been refined and distilled by long submission 'in
this boiling pot of civilization.
The fire of resentment is still hot and there is yet much refining
to be done, but from the top comes the leaders of modem women.
Whether the modern woman wishes to be a housekeeper, a business
or professional person, there is the same goal before every one SUCCESS.
Failure is a disgrace. Whether you fail as a wife or a commercialite, or
literaryite Success is the aim.
The walled-in-ness of the average wife and mother has a tendency to
create morbidity the dark side of things make the deepest impressions
and these memories are the most fertile germs of failure.
A successful wife must open her eyes each morning to a clean page.
She must be elastic, responsive to things of today and be able to erase the
blots of yesterday from her memory.
The hang-overs are the stones around the neck of success.
Tiny hang-overs from minute to minute a little larger from hour
to hour day by day they grow into griefs and from year to year these
hang-over memories become tragedies.
Womenl See the folly of your wayl Be a success with people and life!
Awaken each morning to a clean, new day with every memory of a
worm-eaten past erased.
Such is the price of success.

Snappy Young Officer
Allows No Daylight
Sleepers in Company
To make the civilian public ac
quainted with army life in its every
phase is the supreme thought in the
minds of the Fort Crook officers who
are planning "A Day of Military
Life' which will be given at the
Auditorium, February 20,
"Soldiers must do things over and
over," said Colonel Douglas Settle,
"they must do even simple drills until
they do them automatically. When
real dangers confront them then these
many things that they shave been
learning will have become such a
habit that they will act subcon
sciously." , , :
"Many people do not understand
the different insjgnas oi ranK, inc
colonel went on, "and this, too, we
will endeavor to show at our exhibi
tion. Do . you Jcnow a major or a
general when you see one?" he asked.
But we hastily changed the subject.
Snappy Young Officer.
Captain Randolph, who will have
charge of the machine gun drill, is
an especially "snappy" young officer.
There is no sleeping in his company
and as you watch the men manipulate
these deadly weapons of modern war
fare you can understand why they
say that one machine gun is worth
more than a whole company of men.
The prisoners, too, will be in evi
dence and the work that they have to
do will be shown. These poor fel
lows are not allowed to salute an of
ficer as a mark of degradation and
when you see how they are treated
you will not be surprised that the
men are very anxious to keep out of
the guard house.
There are a number of interesting
stories told about some of the men
at the fort.
"See that chap over there? said one
of the officers pointing to a brown
skinned chap in one of the lines.
"Well, he was a snake charmer in
Ringling's circus before he enlisted.
Used to bite the heads right off of the
snakes. His mother was an Aztec
Indian." And so it goes; they come
from far and near and from every
walk of life, but all are brothers for
the common cause.
Elaborate Plans.
Elaborate plans are being made for
the "Day of Military Life,': and the
soldiers are taking keen interest in
making it a great success. Colonel
Settle, Major Sieverson, Major Ham
ilton and a large number of the
younger officers are working diligent
ly to help the cause along. The Fort
Crook band will play its very jazziest
music and aside from this there will
be added attractions that we will
write of later.

furnishes only about half as much

Cheese is Fine Meat Saver
There is a great deal of food in a
little piece of it. Don't eat it at thi
end of a meal when you have already
had enough. You would not eat a
piece of meat then. An inch cube of
American cheese contains a thiri

food if eaten at the fight time.
