; Life's Problems Are Discussed By Mrs. Wilson Wood row I read a book not long ago in •which the writer had permitted hlm eelf some comparisons, not neces sarily odious, of man and woman. "Man," he asserts, "Is given to all the boyish, vagrom, visionary things of building and exploring and de stroying. Woman has a hard raven ousness for clean-cut, tidy things. Woman is not a sentimentalist; she la clear, defined." Personally, I am always inclined to disagree with those statements of fundamental mental difference in the sexes. I believe that, bar train ing and tradition, men and women are very much alike. Nevertheless, 1 do think the remark about woman's "hard ravenousness for clean-cut, tidy things" Is a stroke of genius. If you will consider the matter, you will realize that true feminine efficiency is of a very high order. As an example, women have shown themselves to be remarkable me chanical workers. The rapidity with •which the.v have mastered the intri cacies of machinery has been re garded as almost phenomenal. When the Woman's Committee of the Council of National Defense was Organized a few weeks ago they eent out a message to the women of the country which was clear, ex plicit and necessary. From one end of the United States to the other women of every kind and degree were stretching out their hands and crying: "What can 1 do to help?" t And the women from the little group whose task It is to organize this eager enthusiasm and desire for 6rvice into one harmonious, effec tive force sent answer, urging as a first duty that all women everywhere ehould concentrate on food produc tion and flood conservation, and combine all their powers to keep life Bteady, normal and sane. Of course this does not deny the necessity for special service. There will be training in various branches for women who show a particular fitness, and a call upon these to give the best that Is in them; and many opportunities will undoubtedly arise from time to time where women can help. Yes: there will be plenty of work for all to do. But our first, our paramount duty throughout the progress of the war Is to keep our heads, which means the doubling, the trebling of our efficiency. We have fortunately, by this time passed through the seething period •when every woman you know was hustling like mad in the service of one of the countless war relief funds, or home garder leagues; or else act ing as a specii . recruiting officer. You found yourself buying flags of all sizes at every opportunity, and innumerable stacks of booklets and post cards. Petitions were thrust at you from every quarter for your | signature, and one would have had to possess all the special stomachs of a camel if one had attended all the dinners to which one was invited for the purpose of exploiting some new method of "doing your bit." But that was just the first bub bling of the pot, which presently settled down to its orderly business of steady boiling. And although we may smile a litle at the overzeal •which was shown in some directions, and may ridicule in our irreverent,' American fashion some of the schemes proposed and some <?f the movements set on foot, yet back of the ridicule there is a catch in our and behind the smile a touch moisture in our eyes, the impulse " prompted it all has been so fine and so spontaneous. A whole article might be written on the men and also the women who, when the government called upon them for special information concerning subjects of which they had special knowledge, or else to as sist in the vast task of organizing the nation for war, did not hesitate a moment, but dropped everything Banishes Nervousness Puts Vigor and Ambition Into Run-Down, Tired Out People If you feel tired out, out of sorts, despondent, mentally or physically depressed, and lack the desire to ac complish things, get a 50 cent box of Wendell's Ambition Pills at H. C. Kennedy's to-day and youi* troubles •will be over. If you drink too much, smoke too much, or are nervous because of overwork of any kind, Wendell's Am bition Pills will make you feel bet ter in three days or money back from H. C. Kennedy on the first box purchased. For all affections of the nervous system, constipation, loss of appe tite, lack of confidence, trembling, kidney or liver complaints sleepless ness, exhausted vitality or weakness of any kind get a box of Wendell's Ambition Pills to-day on the money back- plan. "Oh My, But I Was Miserable" She Cries "I can't think of enough good things to say In praise of Tanlac," 6ays Mrs. Leah Stoudt, of 315 Cherry 6treet, Reading, Pa., "for it has cer tainly proved a blessing to me. "Oh my, but I was miserable! I was all run down and In constant agony with rheumatism that I con tracted when I had my market •stand. My ankles and knees lacked •what the doctors call synovial fluid and they would get stiff and swollen and so painful I could hardly move. "A friend of mine, Sallie Riegel, urged me to try Tanlac and I am so v ery glad I took her advice for I be gan to get better right away. I could feel my strength coming back arid the pain all stopped soon after I be gan rubbing the sore Joints with Klmosan Oil. "Now I feel so good I can hardly realize that I am the same person that used to have to go upstairs on her hands and knees. "The wonderful Tanlac medicines have done It all and I am glad to recommend them to all who are af flicted with rheumatism for I know relief will follow their use." Tanlac, the famous reconstructive tonic, is now being Introduced here at Gorgas' Drug Store, where the Tanlac man Is meeting the people and explaining the merits of this master medicine.—Adv. Tanlac Is sold also at the Gorgas Drug store In the P. R. R. station: in Carlisle at W. G. Stephens' Phar macy; Ellzabethtown, Albert W Cain: Grecncastle, Charles B. Carl; Colin S. Few's Phar macy; Waynesboro. Clarence Croft's Pharmacy; Mechanlcsburg, H F Brunhouse.—Adv. else to answer that imperative sum mons—the call of country. A case in point is the doctors who have responded so heartily. Many of them are leaving large practices, with the corollary of large Incomes, and are giving their services for an indefinite time for a comparatively trifling, monetary return. I heard a member of the Wom an's Committee of the Council of National Defense say that although all the women of that body had large and Important interests of their own upon whih they had con centrated for years, they instantly put these aside with all the respon sibilities entailed when the call came. And In both the men who are de voting their time to this task of organization and the women, too, there Is noticeable a simplicity of j outlook and a singleness of aim.

They were summoned. They went. There was nothing else to do. I have always believed in women's special talent for organization. They have shown it wherever they have had an opportunity, and I believe that with all the various organiza tions working with the national committee there will be demonstrat ed a clock-like precision and efflcU er.cy, and such a showing of results ao will make even those who expect much of the women of the country to sit up and wonder. There will also be a tremendous sifting of material. Every woman will find her own particular niche where her especial aptitude may best be utilized. For example', the other day I heard of a young girl whose mother was informing every one with a mingling of pride and anxiety that HAKRDSBHRO TELEGRAPH Ethel expected to be "somewhere In France" by the first of September. Fired with patriotic ardor by the example of her cousin. Paul, who Is leaving shortly for the training camp at Plattsburg, Ethel had determined to go as an ambulance nurse, and, since the family had influential con nections, she had been practically promised that she should be sent with the first American advance. But it happened that Cousin Paul managed to cut his hand rather bad ly. and when the doctor arrived he found that a bit of surgery would be necessary. Turning to Ethel, he asked her to assist him by holding Paul's arm. And Ethel, overcome by the sight of the biood and the instruments, promptly fainted. In a tableau or at amateur theat ricals, Ethel would probably make a very fetching picture in the gray habit of the Bed Cross nurse, but I do not think she would shine In a field hospital. We've got a grim and serious business before us In this war. and we've got to po about it in a busi ness-like way. We can't use butter- ] fly nurses, or butterflies in any other i capacity. Perhaps the most useful, If not the most picturesque, advice that ; we can take to ourselves at this juncture is that tendered by the gov ernment to the alien enemies among j us: "Go about your business, and | keep your mouths shut." We women of America have a I greater patriotic opportunity in our j hands than perhaps some of us I realize. Ours is the chance, in spite of the shock and turmoil of war, to i keep our national life on an even ! keel. I For the great majority of us the ' oven-door must be our firing line, and the trenches to be held against j invasion the petty, details of house hold expenditure. They >must learn the thrift which makes waste a crime, and yet does not mean the foolish, panic retrenchment unset tling to business. It Is a fine thing and a patriotic thing to "do one's bit" in the actual service of one's country, or by help ing along In the work of the vari ous movements and relief funds, -or by cultivating a garden and con serving the food supply. But It is just as fine and just as patriotic to keep the American home up to standard and American busi ness going on as usual. FELL FROM ROOF Shippensburg, Pa., July 13—James Cramer, while working on the roof at the home of Benjamin Barklon fell to the ground and was severely injured. JULY 13,1917. Italian Censor Baffled Over New Code Discoveries Rome, June 11.—The Italian Cen sors Office has been baffled for two years In an effort to discover the meaning of little groups of letters and dashes, such as "axyz-wty" and so on, which appear at the ends of news items sent out by the Associ ated Press in New York and re mailed from there to the Associated Press correspondents from whom the items came. These marks are the initials of the writer, editor, or ir.anifolder of the Jtem, but appar ently the employes of the Censors Bureau suspected they conveyed some mystic meaning for when re ceived by the correspondent here, they have often been cut out of the pages, or carefully obliterated with ink, or sometimes, the entire batch ot mall is withheld for two or three months at a time. Tne latter Is the favorite method pursued by the censor's office for preventing information of a harmful nature from being disseminated. It is not unusual for news cables or business dispatches of a nature seemingly suspicious to be quietly forwarded a week or so after the sender has forgotten having filed them. On the whole, however, from an American point of view, there has been little complaint regarding eith er cables or malls, considering the activity of spies In Italy. Most of the complaints are made editorially by Italian newspapers which, when news is dull, print long tirades de claring that the censor Is suppress ing interesting news. 5
