- War Bride's Special is a
New Course Now Being
Planned By Y. W. C. A.
War Bride's Special is the name
for one of the courses which the in
dustrial department of the Young
Women's Christian association has
outlined for women and girls in an
swer to the inquiries which have
been pouring into national headquar
ters in New York as to what pa
triotic service women can render
now that war is over.
,A study of how to run a home on
a small income, how to furnish an
apartment on little money, cooking,
plain sewing and how to "make
over" clothes are the topics included
in the War Bride's Special. j
For the woman who has been do
ing Red Cross' work the committee ,
advises that she make hospital gar-1
ffients for the gassed and severely
wounded men who are to be found
in the government hospitals every
where and that she aid in supplying
necessary extras at these hospitals.
Home nursing courses of the Red
. Cross are also encouraged because
of the necessity for a knowledge of
the elements of nursing which was
proved during the recent epidemic.
Courses ?f education suggested
': would be on current events, includ
ing how peace is made, what an
armistice means, terms of this armis
tice and reasons for them, Wilson's
14 terms tf peace, the peace confer
ence, who goes to it and what they
do; on laws that women workers
want, a study of the eight-hour day.
minimum wage, child labor, prohi
bition of night work, standards for
lifting weights and such topics, on
occupations that war times have
brought to women and one on
French women including a study of
them and their conditions before
the war. their part in the war and
their future in the business world.

WHO NEEDS THIS
MEDICINE?
Only One Way to Know, De
clares Writer.
Seeks to Educate Public the
Value of Good Health.
Recommends Tonic Under
Certain Conditions.
v i A well-known physician is quoted
as saying that "Careless habits, evil
habits, and ignorant habits result
in fatalities whenever an epidemic
disease appears in a community."
5 it should be kell known, that ex
cesses and indulgences of whatso
ever kind bring about a condition
of low vitality. To have low vitality
" is to be partially sick; to remain so,
gives free entry to fatal disease
germs. It is duty and common
, sense to remove low vitality.
Do you catch cold too easily? Are
you weak, irritable, nervous and
worn out before the day is half
over? Have you aches and pains
of unknown origin? Are you too
thin and seemingly "bloodless?" Do
vou have tremors and unsound
fears! Do you lack energy and
ambition? Are you despondent
without reason? Is your digestion
faulty and your appetite fickle?
Do you suffer with dreadful pains
in the back of head and neck? Do
you have shooting pains like neural
'gia and-rheumatism?
If,, any or all of these symptoms
are yours then a tonic medicine like
Cadomene Tablets should bring re
lief, health and strength if taken
regularly with meals. Three-grain
Cadomene Tablet has often been
called the "miracle medicine" be
cause it. ia ao quickly effective in
restoring strong, rugged, "happy"
vitality. ?

That the mother country lingers
the heart of every true French
man and woman is evidenced, once
more, by the splendid work which
has been done by Mrs. J. F. Kjrkpat
rick of Columbus, Neb., who was
born many years ago at Somain, in
the northern part of France.
For eleven months Mrs. Kirkpat
rick has traveled up and down the
state, at her own expense, lecturing
in behalf of the French war orphans,
and she is directly responsible for
the adoption of approximately 200
children and has sent between $700
and $800 to the fund through Max
Westernian.
But this isn't all. Mr. and Mrs.
Kirkpatrick are proud of the fact
that not a single war drive has
passed without their contribution,
and Mrs. Kirkpatrick is supporting
three orphans through her own ef
forts. The home of her family in France
was among the first of the villages
to be destroyed by the enemy in
vaders. "I confess." said Mrs. Kirkpatrick.
"I did not take the war to heart until
I heard of the atrocities committed
against my owtt people. I felt that
I owed France nothing I was an
American citizen, and thought of
the people on the other side in an
abstract way, but when I heard how
my own relatives had been treated I
resolved to do all I coud for war
relief and for the babies of France."
Mrs. Kirkpatrick has 34 male rel
atives in the French army.

Y. W. C. A. Cafeteria
Porto Rica has a cafeteria. It is
the first one established on the
island and when it was opened in
the Y. W. C. A. hostess house at
Camp Las Casas the natives crowd
ed around much amused at the inno
vation. They insisted upon having
American dishes.
The hostess houses, two of them,
one for colored and one for white
men, were opened Columbus day
by Miss Harriet -Dunn of Buffalo,
Y. W. C. A. secretary who had for
merly been at Fort Oglethorpe.
Both houses -became very well
known in a short time and a group
of women from San Juan volun
teered to go to the hostess house ev
ery week and" do mending for sol
diers. '
During the recent epidemic of in
fluenza on the island, the colored
hostess house was used by the gov
ernment and the white one was kept
open as a gathering place for con
valescent soldiers, by request of the
commanding officer. Roth Y. W. C.
A. houses will remain open as long
as there are soldiers in the camp.

DO your relatives praise your
wife?
Are they convinced that she
is the best of domestic partners for
you. and a supremely competent
mother to the children?
Or do they sometimes let you per
ceive that they are sorry for you,
and that they can't understand how
in the world you ever happened to
make such a choice? )
If you have had the latter ex

too seriously. Try not to let it af

ing quite properly in doing so. But
his mother and sisters, who adore
him and who take everything con
nected with him very devotionally
his diet, his wardrobe, his social en
gagements don't easily recover
from the disappointment of having
their candidate defeated.
They consider that the idolized
son and brother is equal to any op
portunity that life may offer; that
he can perform any conceivable ex
ploit. But they don't think he is
capable of choosing his own wife.
They feel that he deserves to be
the happiest man in the universe.
But they can't admit that this girl
of his own selecting has the power
to make him so.
Now the reasonable course for a
devoted family would be to wait to
see whether the oung man's mar
riage proved happy, and in that case,
to applaud his good fortune, even
though they might feel that the
young wife spent too much time at
the piano, or that she darned her
husband's socks on the wrong day
of the week.
But a devoted family isn't always
reasonable, and can't be expected to
be, especially if its members have a
little more leisure than is necessary,
and are victims, perhaps, of the very
human vice of gossiping, and have
never been trained, as most of us
haven't, to take the biggest and san
est view of everything.
A. M. V. should realize that .his
case isn't unique by any means.
That there must be countless thou
sands of instances in which a young
husband's relatives either openly or
secretly criticise his wife for not
conforming to some ideal and im
possible standard which they them
selves have set up.
But there are other things that he
should realize as well.
Having confessed that he is in
I possession of the supreme gift of
i life, doesn't he see that in the matter
i of general distribution, he uwty be
' said to have his share?
' A wife who is a "prize" and whom
he adores unreservedly after tour
years of marriage and two chil
dren to boqt?
.Here are all the essential har
monies. Here all the strings arc
of silver,' all are beautifully vibrant
W hat n unlovelier sounds of out
side origin are sometimes faintly to
he heard?
Here are love, happiness, under
standing. Enough for any heart
And though it may sound very
moral, indeed, I really believe that a
heart so rich m treasures should be
rich m tolerance, too.
The happy person can afford to be
generous with the unhappv one.
A. M. V. is doubtless right, as all
may well admit, in believing that his
mother and sisters are jealous of his
devotion to his wife. But he should
remember that jeaHQiisv is an as
pect of love even though one of the
baser aspects, it is true. It was for
merly they who had all his Aeo
tion and they're still lonely for the
lark of it.
It isn't a tragic or a hopeless sit
uation, rar from it.- It isn t even a
situation that justifies surrender to
the blues. I is, I think, a situa
tion that a clear-sighted, warm
hearted young man ought to be able
to handle if his wife helps him.
The Young Husband's Course.
Gently, but unmistakably, I think
he should make it plain to his own
relatives, once for all, that he can
not listen to any unkind criticism.
And from that time on, I think
he should try to put the whole mat
er out of his mind. Assume that
the existing relations are normal
and pleasant, and avoid watching
for little manifestations of jealousy
or other ill-feeling. It won't help
matters any for him to talk the
thing over repeatedly with his wife.
Indeed, it's better not to refr to
it at all if possible.
If he plants himself firmly on the
basis of his own happiness, and as
sumes that everybody else knows
he is happy, and that there's no pos
sible excuse for wounding criticism,
his relatives will be obliged to suc
cumb gradually to this attitude of
his.
By acting as though nothing but
good feeling could possibly exist,
good feeling itself will inevitably de
velop. As I have already hinted, this will
be less easy to bring about if the
young man's wife is not tactful and
cheerful and magnanimous and eager
for family harmony. But if she is,
A. M. V., ought to be able to
straighten out that problem of his
without allowing any family es
trangements to develop.
So that doubtless it will come to
seem not a problem at all.
