It has been said by one in high sta tion that we have no part or interest in the policies which seem to have brought this conflict on. If by that is meant the immediate policies which brought the war about in August, I!H4, then the statement is quite true. It is true in no other sense. 1 find it very hard to believe that any student of recent history whose mind has been open to the reai drift of events can convince himself that the particular Balkan issue which brought Ihis war on was its real cause. The truth was admirably stated by an Italian journalist in answering one of the early manifestoes of the German university professors. In trying to roll the responsibility for the war off the shoulders of Germany, they said that Europe might have had peace—that Russia and France might have had peace, if they had been willing to have it. Very true, was the Italian answer, Kurope could have had peace, if it had been willing to submit to the absolute and unmodified dictation of Germany, but upon no other terms, That is the true cause of this war—that. is the practical issue which will be settled OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN "THEIR MARRIED LIFE"! |, The telephone wakened Helen out of a sound sleep, and she started up hurriedly only to settle back on her pillow with the knowledge that llary would answer it. She and Warren had been Tip very late the night be fore, and, as she had been very tired, she had gone to bed directly after lunch to get some sleep before Laura should arrive. ' The telephone rang again, and she | wondered irritably why Mary did not | answer. Really, she would have to be reproved if she did not do better; and then Helen remembered, that this was Mary's day out. Again that an- | noying tinkle, and this time Helen sprang up and went out into the hall. Her "hello was not too cordial until she recognized Laura's voice. "Helen. I don't think I can rnan*- age to come over this afternoon, after jail. Will you excuse me" I The quality of Laura's voice ban ished the last vestige of sleep from Helen's eyes—lt sounded as though she were in trouble and neetied help. Her voice sounded strained and un i natural, and the situation required an unusual amount of tact. "You simply must come, dear," Helen said sweetly, as though she suspected nothing. "But 1 won't be any kind of a com panion; I am awfully nervous to day." "I am all alone, T have let my maid go out and there is no one here. I shall be awfully disappointed if you don't ccme." Laura hesitated, and Helen jumped into the breach. "You simply must come. I won't forgive you if you disappoint me. I'm sure it will do • you good to get out into the air. Why don't you walk over?" "No, I'll come in the car. All right Helen, you can expect me, but I told you the truth when I said that I am terribly nervous." She Prepares For Laura Helen just laughed and rang off. | She rubbed her eyes and then went j into the bathroom and plunged her j face into cold water. The icy sting I refreshed her, and she proceeded leis urely enough with the rest of her dressing. It was only 3 o'clock. Laura would probably wait until 4 to come. Helen could not help thinking' I a little regretfully of that extra hour that she might have slept. Really she and Warren must cut out night hours. Now that she thought of it. she actually hadn't been in bed before twelve or one in ages. They had spent so many evenings with the careless Bohemian people who never went to bed until the hours were small. Helen had noticed that Anne's small white face was beginning to look even smaller—that child wasn't used to such hours either. Well, lhat was neither here nor there. There was another problem I still more important. What, was there about Laura Richards' life that was making her unhappy, that was chang ing her from a contented woman to a hitter type of wife entirely unlike her ordinary disposition? Helen wheeled the little tea wagon that was a recent acquisition into the dining room and arranged the cups and saucers and plates on it. She fill ed the tea ball with her best orange pekoe,and placed the muffins ready for toasting. There was fresh butter, too. Helen remembered how Laura adored unsaVted butter, and had bought some on purpose. The bell rang, just as she finished. Laura already? Why it was only three thirty, that was strange. "1 came right up," Laura said as Helen swung the door open and pulled FOODS THEY BUILD OR DESTROY Amazing but Rarely Suspected Truths About the Things You Eat. (Copyright. 1918, by Alfred W.

Tlic Use of Wliite Bread Enormously Increases the Consumption of Meat, Which, When Pushed Beyond the Limit of Normal Toleration, Is Fol- lowed b.V Physical Derangements From Mineral Starvation. Not content with the result of their I experiments, which demonstrated the j Inadequacy of pearled barley as a life j sustaining food, Weill and Mouri- ! quand subjected pigeons to a mixed j diet of pearled barley, polished rice, > and b'olted wheat flour from which the germ, the bran and underlying layers, containing the salts of calci- um, phosphorus, potassium, iron, silicon, sodium, sulphur, maganese, magnesium, fluroine, and iodine had been removed. These are the same refined grains, now purchasable in every grocery store in the United States, on which the American people are now striving to develop a normal race of men, not realizing that in every pound of such refined food the growing child, the prospective mother, the nursing moth er, and the feeble adult are deprived the elements indispensable to the proper functioning of their vital or gans. Weill and • Mouriquand expressed the results of their experiments in these words: "All the pigeons fed on this mixed diet of polished riee. pearled barley and bolted wheat flour showed para lytic disturbances ending in death. We have thus proved that symptoms of the beri-beri type can result from a diet of refined cereals. "Nutritive disturbance in infants are doubtlessly, at times, caused by a too exclusive feeding with exhausted flour derived from decorticated ce reals. "The physician should take care to vary the diet of the weaned child and include in it cereals from which the pericarp, bran and germ have not been removed." Six months later another French man, A Balland, national associate of the Academy of Medicine, issued a warning to the French government in which he said: "Several times T have pointed out the exaggerated development of the bolting of flour, which augments the price of bread and diminishes its nu tritive value. "Notwithstanding the known facta It in in vain that some of our most distinguished physicians, eye-wit nesses of the miseries suffered in hos pitals, who are anxious for the future of the race, have arisen against the invasion of white bread. "The bolting of flour, favored by the world-wide cultivation of wheat, which is extending every year, reaches at the present time as much as 50 per cent, of the weight of the grain, while less than fifty years ago only '3 per cent, of the grain was utilized in flour milling. "Hoimehold bread ha.s diauUDeared her into the hall. "I'm glad you made me come. Helen," and she turned her head away as her eyes suddenly filled up with tears. Helen was more mystified than ever. She could not understand Laura's at titude. First she was bitter and then i she was miserable, There was only one answer to the riddle and Helen dread to think of such a thing. In the living room with the shades drawn and the lamp lighted over the] tea cups and toasted English muffins, { Laura raised tragic eyes to Helen sud denly and said: ■ aura Tells the Secret "Well, 1 have decided to tell you! dear, you are so sure that you can help me. It's another woman." "Oh, Laura are you sure?" Helen was truly amazed; she had thought of such a consequence, but only remote ly. Somehow Laura's husband seemed such a different typ«j of man. "Of course I am sure, it is hardly clandestine any longer, everybody knows. 1 am surprised that you haven't heard." "That is htardly strange," Helen ex plained, "considering that 1 don't know any of your friends." "Really, Helen, you are more for tunate than you know. I am telling you frankly, a woman never knows i when she is well off. 1 used to Ihink | that I was utterly miserable when I was alone and friendless without money here in New York. I know there must be hundreds of other wo men just as I was, but if they only knew, they would try to be more con tented with their lot. 1 never dreamed ; then that I could know the depths of ! misery I have endured for the past few months." Laura spoke wearily, with a tone less quality that brought tears to 1 Helen's eyes. Why was there so much misery in the world? Above all, why j couldn't men be deecently faithful to j the women they married? Laura was j right, she might better have remained j single and endured "the pangs of lone- 1 liness than to have had her married life turn out like this. Like a flash her mind leaped back' to her own skirting of the precipice, j She and Warren had come very near the parting of the ways, nearer than j she had thought possible. Perhaps j things might not be so bad for Laura, j "Can you tell me about it, Laura." | Helen said, gently. "You see I can j tell better after 1 know." "There's very little to tell. She is a woman of means, a flighty little soul, j one of the appealing doll-like variety I that men often admire so much. Herj husband can't seem to do anything with her, and all the men spoil her ut terly. We met her at an affair tip at j the Armstrongs', and she marked , John as an especial favorite that even- ] lng. "Of course, I laughed, and in fact we both did, her preference was so marked and she showed it so child-! islily in a pretty confidential manner! that always takes with men. John was flattered of course, and afterward i he began to show a preference for j her. "At first I could not believe it. but; when they began to appear together j in places where I could not help but i hear it, I lost my head, and I haven't j known what to do. There have been times when I have been frantic. I j know that T can't bear it much longer I Helen, something will have to be done." And Helen, looking mattters frank ly in the face, agreed with Laura that things could hardly be worse. (Another incident in this absorbing series will appear here soon.) as Grave as Those Which Kesnlt from the ration of the French army and this fact is specially dwelt upon by those who dread the effects of the use of white bread because never In the history of France is there greater need than just now of beautiful, well nourished, active, and long-enduring: soldiers. "Recently the bolting of flour used for the French army bread has dis carded from twenty to thirty per cent, of the wheat of the grain. The re sult has not let itself he long waited for. Everywhere the ration of bread appears insufficient; the hunger of the soldier is less satisfied. "Xt the beginning of the French revolution, when the army bread was made entirely of unbolted flour, the subject was placed before the Acad emy of Sciences for a decision con cerning the advisability of removing a portion of the grain, and Parmen tier, the agriculturist, who introduced the cultivation of the potato into France, prepared the official report. "Even then it was recognized that bolting the white flour was injurious and did not constitute a substantial aliment for the soldier." Balland, quoting from this ancient report, says: "What is good for the soldier Is good for every man who is engaged in active physical work and who needs thoroughly nourishing food. The bread so universally employed to-dav is made of the central parts of the grain which are the least rich in the elements most essential to life." Supplementing Ralland's warning Michel, Levy, and Begin, army medi cal inspectors, declared: Bolting eliminates the useful ele ments of flour in more than one re spect and has no other compensation than an Improvement in the color of the bread. "What the white bread lacks in nu trition has to be made up by an in creased consumption of other foods containing the missing elements. This fact is brought out very clearly in the reports of the food supply 'fur nished in the French army. "The use of white bread'enormously increases the consumption of meat, which, when pushed beyond the limits or normal toleration, is followed by many physical derangements as grave as those which result from the min eral deficiency of refined cereals." Never before has any case been made in behalf of public health in which the evidence Ims been so over whelming or so conclusive. Yet. If we may lie permitted the phrase, "the worst is still to coma."

It includes the fashionable shoulder cape and it flares generously, at the same time it can be made a simpler garment by the omission of the cape and by the use of a belt. Again. there is a choice of a round neck or a neck with high collar, consequently 1 the model is a good one both tor the 1 cool days of the spring and for the warmer days of the coming summer. For the spring, it would be pretty made of corduroy or broadcloth, or of gabardine or of taffeta. For the summer it could be made of piqu6 or of linen, of silk, of bengaline or of bedfored cord. On the figure, rose colored broadcloth is shown with the edges bound with bias of satin. For a still handsomer coat, taffeta could be treated in the same way. In the small view, there is a suggestion for white broadcloth with stitched edges. The coat without the cape is made of cash mere with narrow silk braid as trimming.

Don't worry your life, on a worthless man. If women took firmer stands in cases like this men would not go on in their contemptible and selfish course in making- love to two women at the same time. Don't appeal to the girl or to the girl's parents, but simply demand that your husband make a choice and sfive up either you or the "other woman. If you are to assist in the work of sup porting your family and are to keep your home, too, the least return that can be made you by the man who is not able to take care of you, financially, is love and devotion.
