; 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

"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. I

EVENING,
backward or forward; there was no
weighing of possibilities. 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.
