OF INTEREST TO
Girls Who Make Mistakes
By ELLA UIIGELBH WILCOX
Copyright, 1916. Star Company.
A well behaved and industrious young
*oman vanished from her home, and
ifter a week's absence wrote to her
family saying, "Forget me."
Those two words told the whole ter
rible story. *
But they told something else besides
■—they told the unjust attitude of hu
man beings who compose society
toward an erring woman.
Had this young woman been a young
man and committed the same sins, can
we for one moment suppose that a let
ter would have been sent home to the
waiting relatives?
Indeed, no. The young man would
have gone back and his family would
have fallen upon hia neck with "no
questions asked."
Just as this silent attitude toward
the sons is wrong, so is the cruelly se
vere attitude toward an erring girl a
stumbling block in the way of hu
manity's evolution.
1 wish every weak and foolish girl
who has taken one wrong step and be
lieves she must go on to the end of tl.e
highway, although she longs to turn
back, would take courage and make
the attempt right now before she passes
another milestone.
The Morgue and the Potter's Field and
"The island" are filled with those who
dared not turn back.
In the parks and in the streets you
may meet blear-eyed old women in
rags, begging pennies of passersby. On
some of these faces rests the lingering
remnant of what once was beauty—the
beauty which opened the door to temp
tation, perhaps.
And after they had started on the
path they believed it was impossible
to turn back.
Tho*e Who Fail to Turn Hark Find
Time Vdil* to Sorrow*
Yet had they tried, what fate could
have been more terrible than the one
they found as they passed along the
highway of folly? '
A few years of fine apparel, and car
riages, and wine suppers, and travel,
and excitement, at the very best. Al
ways the need of hiding tlie source of
these luxuries from the world, always
the need of lies, and pretense, and
secrecy, or else the utter sinking of the
whole moral nature in a brazen disre
gard of public opinion.
And each year seeing the physical
charms fading, each > ar realizing the
nearer approach of that awful time w hen
neglect and insult must take the place
of pursuit and llattery.
And then the depths of degradation
with the loneliness and the fictitious
excitement of drink as the only relief
from despair. •
There are hundreds of such old wo
men in our great cities to-day—wo
men who made "one false step, perhaps
with the idea of escaping drudgery;
perhaps through lack of will power
and perhaps because of a misplaced
trust. But whatever the cause, there
must have been hours in the early part
of the Journey when each one of these
women longed to turn back into the
straight path and begin over.
And because she had been taught that
nothing but death could remedy a wo
man's fall and that no amount of re
pentance or Christianity could gain her
the respect of her fellow men, she dared
not try.
Yet in our great cities, too, and in
high places, in the church and in so
ciety. women walk who have turned I
back and cast their follies behind them. '

Fresh Air
Aids Furnace
An actual experience of a coal man, who
relates:
"After an absence of four clays we returned to
our home. The weather had become very cold. The
, first thing done was to build a fire.
"In a very short time the water was up to l f >o
degrees (this was a hot water plant) which is sup
posed to give all the heat an ordinary house needs.
However, the house remained miserably cold. The
family hovered over the radiators for a while and
then-went to bed early. The fire was left going full
blast all night in the hope that the house might be
warm next morning.
"When we arose, however, the place was still as
cold as it had been. While breakfast was being
prepared I stepped out on the porch to get the morn
ing paper and left the door open. I was no sooner
in the house when the whole place became burning
hot.
"The explanation is perfectly simple. The air in
the house had not been disturbed for four days. The
house was filled with dead air."
This is the point we wish to make—the coal may
be the best and the furnace doing the best work but
even so the best combinations of coal and furnace
cannot heat dead air. Open up your house each
day—the rooms will heat much more quickly.

THURSDAY EVENING,
There are good mothers and good wives
who have built their own ladders upon
which they climbed from error. The
world offers better opportunities to wo
men who reform in this age than ever
before.
All occupations are open to them, and
in distant States and far from old as
sociations the women who has the will
and the desire strong enough may and
can start on a new upward path. Self
control. tears, sorrows, loneliness, harj
ships and remorse will all be hers, yet
are not these better companions for a
few years than the inevitable results
of a life of immorality and folly? The
world is sure to despise her and shun
her if she keeps on. If she turns back
now she can compel it after a time to
respect the nobility of her life.
Do you want to begin anew?
If you cannot find the way back alone
thtre are sweet souls under Salvation
Army unforms ready to help you, anu
there are good women in silks and
laces who will answer if you call.
And after you have made up your
mind to begin a new life, be caretul and
avoid confessions and confidences. Your
past belongs to yourself and your God,
your future to humanity. Walk an as
cending path and keep silence. You
have as good a right to a future as a
wife and mother as men have to be
husbands and fathers, once you reform.
It is not an easy thing to do, but the
life you are living is not an easy one
and the future holds nothing easy if
you go on. It holds certain drifting
from boudoir to street, from fine ap
parel and carriages to rags and the beg
ging of car fares and night lodgings,
or the morgue and pauper s burial. Not
one woman in ten thousand in your po
sition ever saves a dollar of her ill
earned money for the certain day when
she loses the physical charms that are
her only hold on fortune.
Better face a few years of hardship
now, in an effort to begin life anew,
than to °-o on to hardships and horrors
indescribable.
Do you think of yourself as a hope
less, blackened sinner. Think of your
self as a foolish woman, no more lost
to hope than the ten thousand men
who are received by the world and so
ciety in spite of past errors far deeper
and darker than your own.
Not n.i W Ickrd In (iod'N Sight n* 'Wo
man Who Makes Mischief
The loss of one virtue does not mean
the extinction of all. The possession of
one virtue does not mean the posses
sion of all.
If you have fallen through one man's
perfidy or intensity, or trust, you are
simply a human being who has gone
wrong through misdirected virtues.
You are like a plant that has be
come a weed through neglect of proper
culture and care.
You are not as wicked in God's sight
as the jealous woman who ruins the
happiness of all her associates by her
evil-speaking tongue.
You are not as wicked in God's sight
ns the woman of fashion who marries
a man she despises for the wealth he
can give her and who hates her un
born child.
But your future will be more dis
astrous than that of either of these be
cause of ttie rules of society, and you
have no time to waste if you would
start on the way of reform.
Cut loose from all the associations
which you are compelled to hide from
the world. Seek some new place and
scene and go to work and build up a
good life for yourself.
We can be what we will to be.

disappear altogether, thus ending a
cough quicker than you ever thought
possible. Hoarseness and ordinary
coughs are conquered by it in 24 hours

"I like it," she confessed, and in
stinctively hunted for a change of
subject. "We have had a streak of
good fortune, mother and I. Father's
former attorney ,has just recovered
I some money from an old account.
Five thousand dollars!"
"Great!" enthusiastically returned
Billy, with well expressed surprise.
"By George, that's quite a little wind
fall."
''lsn't it!" She was most elated.
"Mother is so very happy about it. We
shall bo able to clear up the very
last of the encumbrance which lay
against father's estate, and we have
quite a bit left for outlandish luxury."
j '.'Oh," and the blank expression on
Billy's face was painful. He was ac
tually distressed. "It's a pity you
have to spend any of that money
for outlawed claims. Can't your fath
er's attorney do something about it?"
"He's always wanted to," she ex
plained. "He was angry, in the first
I place, because mother insisted on
J paying. In fact, he flatly refused.
I Mother threatened to dismiss him,
years ago, on that account. Now
we're glad that she persisted. There
isn't one dollar of indebtedness
against the name of Harrison Stuart!" j
She was so proud of that. There!
was such a thrill in her voice; there
was such a glow in her dark eyes that i
I poor Billy had a terrific struggle at.
self-restraint.
Why the dickens v.asn't it proper. \
for him to state his sincere and frank ;
admiration! Why couMn't he just I
take her hand in his, say both hands, J
and make a few warm and heartfelt
remarks, looking deep down into her
eyes meanwhile, and Oh, con- I
found it!
"Possibly your lawyer may recover
more," he suggested. They had a new
job in the office, and John Doe was
designing the entire structural work. |
Ho was a wonderful engineer! Why,
by George, Doe was this girl's father!
Strange Billy hadn't thought of that
before, except in an impersonal sort
of way. He had been so occupied
with the girl herself that ho had not
thought of her. in this office, as being
so tragically related to the man just
on the other side of the partition! He
was astounded and overawed by the
dramatics of this stupendous thought;
so much so that he scarcely heard
the reply she made. Why, here was
she, sitting calmly beside him, and as
sweet as a basket of roses, and right
in the next office was her long-lost
father! What an astounding situa
tion! Billy was absolutely lost in the
contemplation of it.
"Wait just a minute," he said, and
jumped up with sudden impulsive
decision. "I'd like you to meet my
partner, Mr. Doe. the man who is to
revise your father's manuscript."
Could you beat that! Here was Har
rison Stuart revising his own book,
and had to pretend to be presumptu
ous about it! And here was his
daughter! Tavy! "I'll see if lie's in."
The private office of John Doe was
occupied by Geraldine and Tommy
Tinkle, and Tommy was making a
careful, though somewhat idealized
sketch of Geraldine.
"Almost ready, Billy? inquired
Geraldine, smiling brightly at him.
There was not a trace of petulance in
her.
"Don't move," cautioned Tommy.
"Don't move or I'll fore-shorten your
nose."
Billy's ears burned with guilt.
"I'm rushing things," he hastily
assured her, and hurried into the
inner office, where John Doe, tall
and gaunt, bent over his drawing
board with absorbed interest.
"How are you feeling, Hal?" Billy j
inquired with anxious solicitude. The
contraction "Hal" had been adopted
between them as a safe compromise ]
for public and private occasions.
"Stronger every day," returned the !
older man cheerfully. "I gained a I
pound and a half in the past week."
Billy inspected him with a critical j
eye. "Fine," he decided. "There's a j
client in my office I'd like you to
have a glimpse of. Just peep through
the crack of the door."
The old man smiled at that sug
gestion, but started towards the
door.
"It's a young lady," added Billy,
with a nonchalance which unfortun
ately had a break in it.
"Who is she?" The old man had
stopped, and turned to Billy.
"I'll tell you about her later."
"Tavy!" He began to tremble.
"It's Tavy!" and there was a vibra
tion in the tone which thrilled the
very roots of Billy's hair.
"No, look here, Stuart, you told
me you were feeling fine, you know."
The old man straightened, and
pressed his lips firmly together.
"I am strong," he said. "I want
to see my daughter!"
"Certainly!" Billy was at his side
as he strode to the door; Billy was
holding his arm. "Peep through the
crack first, then come back and sit
down a while, and I'll take you out
and introduce you."
The old man smiled on him, then
he threw open the door, and walked
firmly into Billy's office.
Octavia saw before her a spare,
courtly looking old gentleman, whose
eyes had in them such profound
longing that her heart went out to
him at once in a thrill of sympathy.
"Mr. Doe, Miss Stuart," remarked
Billy, feeling much as if he were play
ing with an uncertain trigger.
Mr. Doe smiled; he bowed stiffly;
he opened his mouth to give some
conventional word o_f greeting, but,
instead, his trembling arms suddenly
stretched forth, and a mighty sob
welled up from his breast!
CHAPTEK XI
Walking About the Square
"What is it? What was the mat
ter?" Octavia had been startled. She
was pale and trembling. Billy's part
ner had completely broken down and
Billy had assisted him into his office.
He was back now, his mind torn by
his duty to the occupants of both
rooms.
"The shock was too much for him,"
he explained, groping wildly amid
various bits of romance for a fabri
cation which would fit the cases.
"You reminded him so strongly of his
own little girl. She was burned to
death in a theater fire. It was hor
rible!" and he wiped his brow. That
was a pretty good one. "I'm so sorry
that it upset you. May I get you a
glass of water?" He was bending
over her chair most anxiously.
"Don't min dme," she protested.
"Poor old Mr. Doe!"
"You're trembling!" Billy was al
most In a panic. Of course it wouldn't
do to pat her on the shoulder or any
thing, but she really should be sooth
ed. He took her hand instinctively
and stroked her wrist. Just think,
she was Stuart's daughter!
Geraldine came to the door at this
inopportune moment and she ob
served the wrist-stroking with great
interest. Then she flounced back and
took Tommy Tinkle away with her!
Billy heard her going, and chased
after her; but he was too late. When
he returned to his office. Miss Stuart
had discovered that it was time for
her to go. She was still somewhat
should take her home in his ecar; but
somehow he did not feel free to offer
this accommodation. Hight o'clock
he was to call with the check if
he received it.
There ensued.a busy time for Billy.
Tavy's father, too, was shaken up,
and, though in command of himself,
Billy sent him home for the day. Joe
Mullen came, and that meant a solid
i three quarters of an hour confer
ence. There was still the problem of
the overload at the corner of the
tower to be considered; but I,ane got
the idea for that while he was talk
ing with Joe Mullen. Clever idea it
was; but original and daring. He
plunged into it as soon as Joe left.
Fascinating piece of work! lie had
to turn on the lights before he was
through with it but whon ho finish
ed. he was proud of himself. It was
a tremendous spur to be in business
with a master like Harrison Stuart!
He probably never would have had
the nerve to conceive of this Solution
had it not been for the mental in
fluence of Hal. In a glow of en
thusiasm, he marked on his drawing
the instruction for his draughtsmen,
so that they could start at it in the
morning; then he made a quick little
sketch to show when he should arrive
home. He was immensely pleased
with his day's work! '
Six-fifteen! He'd have to hustle.
He'd better telephone Burke to
By thunder! He had forgotten that
confounded dance! He stopped
aghast, with his watch in his hand.
Oh, well; Geraldine was a good fel

away in a fury. He'd explain it to
her. Anyhow, a man had his busi
ness to attend to! Business was im

fact, that, besides, the daringly crea
tive solution of a problem like this
was more fun than a dance. A man
could dance any time.
Too bad he couldn't see Geraldine
to-night, and square things, but there
simply wouldn't be time. He could
not possibly be late at the Stuarts';
tor it was more or less in the nature
of a business appointment. He had
to deliver that check!
He rushed for the decanter as soon
as he reached his apartments, and he
took two drinks in succession. He'd
hail rather an exciting day.
"I wish you didn't like that stuff
so well, Billy," worried Stuart. "A'
young man of your temperament
should choose another drink."

After War Is Predicted
Sharon, Pa., Jan. 4. Former Presi

the Chamber of Commerce last night
viewed with gravity the obligations and

States when the European war ends.
He said while perhaps one would be
rash to predict that in a year the war
will be over, certainly the year will
bring such changes as to furnish a
basis for predicting its end.
"It will find us richer than ever with
a greater stock of gold than anv coun
try ever had,'" he said, "and it will find
us with enormous plants all occupied
and seeking for more labor with which
to increase their output.
"The actual coming of peace must
seriously affect our business conditions;
a large part of our exports can be trac
ed directly to the enormous demands
for war materials, and this demand, of
course, will be cut off with the speed
of a cable dispatch. A large propor
tion of the manufacturing energy of the
country will be for the time paralyzed.
In the matter of wages, the excessive
demand for labor in our munition fac
tories will fall off abruptly, and this
may involve controversies."
Mr. Taft stated that a protective
tariff is needed in order to meet the
charp competition that will follow the
cessation of hostilities.

MAP OUT WATER
CONSERVATION
Flood Control Committee Out
lines Legislation Necessary to
Accomplish Purposes
Plans for a state-wide policy of
water conservation and Hood control
were outlined late yesterday at a meet
ing of the flood control committee ap
pointed by Governor Brumbaugh in
the otfloe of the chairman of the com
mittee, Dr. Samuel Q, Dixon, State
Health Commissioner.
Definite recommendations for legis
lation were adopted which, if approved
by the General Assembly, will uo the
means of putting into ertect the con
servation policies outlined by Gov
ernor Brumbaugh in his message to
the Legislature.
Bills will be recommended which, if
enacted, will mark the beginning of a
conservation program which experts
told the tiood control committee will
eventually require the expenditure of
a hundred million dollars if the State
intends to conserve all its waters and
provide adequate measures for the
control of its 43,000 square miles of
territory.
To Ask for Survey
In the first place, it was decided to
ask for an appropriation of $50,000 to
be used to meet an equal amount to be
furnished by the United States govern
ment toward the completion of a topo
graphical and geographical survey of
the state. A supplementary bill will
be drafted providing for making a
comprehensive survey of all the waters
of the state, and upon this survey will
i be based the plan for administration
j of the state's water resources.
An appropriation of $200,000 will
also be asked to make this stream sur
vey, and the work will be placed under
the direction of the State Water Sup
ply Commission.
In the discussion of the measures
suggested, it was brought out, opinion
i was unanimous among the members
that every effort should be made to
avoid the mistake of rushing into
water conservation legislation before
there had been developed a logical
plan which would meet all conditions
in the stale and each part of which
would be a step in securing the final
result.
Will Take Two Years
"What we want to emphasize," said
Dr. Dixon, after the meeting, "is that
we are seeking a well thought out plan
and that we hope not to take any step
before we have the whole well ordered
scheme in view. It will take probably
at least two years to make the detailed
observations we need. They will pro
vide a map showing location, con
dition, improvements, present use and
legal status of the streams throughout
the state as well as other things nec
essary for the studies. This would also
Include such things as floods and we
will know where they are likely to
occur and how best to prevent the
fornlation of conditions that lead to
I them.
"Then our survey ought to provide
for the measurements of all possible
water power, for drainage and agri
cultural uses, and, of course, for navi
gation. At present we know little
about those conditions throughout the
state, and we might easily tind that
vast unsuspected potentialities lie neg
lected when they might be bringing in
returns to the Commonwealth.
"The Governor has expressed a lively
interest in the work of this committee,
which was formed at his suggestion,
of course, and if things work out as
we hope it Is not unreasonable to sup
pose that Pennsylvania may be able to
place herself In a very favorable light

"Our committee feels it cannot ac
cent too strongly the idea that a care
ful examination must be made and
that when the work is actually under
taken we must know what we are do
ing at every step. There must be
nothing haphazard in a scheme of
such mugnttude."

For Itching Eczema,
Old Sores and Piles
"I guarantee my ointment," says
Peterson, "to cure eczema; to stop the
itching at once and any reliable drug
gist will cheerfully refund your money
if PETERSON'S OINTMENT doesn't do
everything 1 say it will do."
William A. Carley, of Franklin, N. Y.,
is surely a wise man. lie writes: "I
used PETERSON'S OINTMENT on a
little boy suffering terribly with ec
zema. It did the work."
Then there is Alex. Eouttel, a brave
fireman of Buffalo, who is glad to write
as follows: "I had ah old sore on my
leg for many years. The best doctors
failed. PETERSON'S OINTMENT en
tirely healed the sore quickly." And
from over in Canada comes a letter
from A. Blockeby, stating: "Tho best
thing I ever hit for itching piles is
PETERSON'S OINTMENT." A big box

Dandruffy Heads
Become Hairless
If you want plenty of thick, beau
tiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for it will
starve your hair and ruin it if you
don't.
It doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only suro
way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve
it, then you destroy it entirely. To
do this, get about four ounces of or
dinary liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to moisten
the scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips. v
By morning, most if not all, of your *
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the Scalp will stop,
and your hair will look and feel a
hundred times better. You can get
liquid arvon at any drug store. It
is inexpensive and four ounces is all
you will need, no matter how much
dandruff you have. This simple rem
edy never fails.
SALTS FINE FOR
ACHING KIDNEYS
We eat too much meat which,
clogs Kidneys, then the
Back hurts.
Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like tl.e bowels, get sluggish and clog
ged and need a flushing occasionally,
else we have backache and dull misery
in the kidney region, severo head
aches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liver,
acid stomach, sleeplessness and all
sorts of bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
feci an ache or pain in the kidney
region, get about lour ounces of Jail
Salts from any good drug store here,
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with litliia, and is harmless to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
J them to normal activity. It also ncu
| tralizes the acids in the urine so it
no longer irritates, thus ending blad
der disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive;
makes a delightful effervescent iithia
water drink which everybody should
take now and then to keep their kid
neys clean, thus avoiding serious
complications.
A well-known local druggist says
he sells lots of Jad Salts to folks who
believe in overcoming kidney trouble
while it is only trouble.
