Life's Problems Are Discussed By MRS. WILSON WOODROW I should like to write a series of articles on "The Difficulties of Being Young." The sorrows and disappoint ments of youth are so poignant, its rebellions are so intense, its convic tions so strongly held. It has yet to learn the wisdom of compromise, the necessity of tolerance, the mitigations of time. And older people almost universally ignore or belittle youthful woes. To I hem youth in itself is so wonderful, so beautiful, so full of opportunities (hat it is impossible for them to see why girls and hoys should ever clamor or bewail their lot. Youth will be served; but not al ways as much as it deserves. It needs sympathy and understanding, and it doesn't always get good meas ure in these respects. I was talking to a girl this summer, vho said: "My mother and 1 simply don't understand each other and never will. We look at everything in life from a different angle. We have nothing in common. That isn't mother's fault; she thinks as they did in her day, and I'm thinking as we do in mine. That is all there Is to It." "Do you believe that is quite so?" I asked. "You were speaking a mo ment ago of the two writers, one a man and the other a woman, who most stimulated your intellect and imagination. The man is considera bly older than your father; the wom an is at least ten years older than your mother. And yet you of the younger generation find yourself per fectly in accord with their ideas and views. "It is not the differences of age that count. Those can easily be bridged by understanding, if the older generation has held the flexible and open mind and has kept its ideas subject to change, modification or ex pansion." "Oh," she burst out bitterly, "I have perfectly clear ideas of what I want to do; but I am constantly thwarted and opposed, and the only reason given is 'i am older than you and know what is best for you. Mother will not recognize that we are nuite different in temperament. It takes her days to make a decision nbout anything; I make mine in a minute. She likes to have everything done for her; I want to arrange things myself and put them through." "Suppose," I said, "that you go to your mother and frankly say, 'can't we sit down and discuss this thing like two reasonable human beings, with no tears and no emotionalism, 'nt in a perfectly plain, straightfor ward way as if we were discussing seme one's else affairs? Won't you try at least to see my side? And I'll hr nestly try to see yours." She replied: "That sort of talk lr.ißht have some effect on a brick vail, but not on Mother." And there came that expression on her face that I notice on the faces ">? many girls when they are In the family circle—that shut-in, repressed li ok which should have no place on their young features. Pome one said to me a few days ago: "Isn't it too bad about May ? She was so pretty and bright when she was at college, and now she is almost an invalid. Her father and mother have done everything for her. taken her to Florida and California, and have given her everything that heart could desire. And the worst of it Is, that the doctors say it is merely some nervous or imaginary affection, noth ing very real." The doctors had failed to diagnose the case correctly. All that girl needed to restore her health was something to do. Her father was an extremely clever and restless man, the sort of person who could organize and manage a dozen big interests at Facts About the Sugar Situation Our Government has asked you to use sugar spar ingly. We believe that the people of this country will be glad to do their part to conserve the sugar supply when they know the facts. These facts are as follows: More than two-thirds of the source of Europe's sugar supply is within the present battle lines. This has resulted in greatly reducing the production of sugar in Europe. England and France and other countries have been forced to go for sugar to Cuba. Ordinarily, nearly all of the Cuban raw sugar comes to the United States and is refined here, chiefly for home use. This is not the case now. In view of the exceptional world demand for sugar there is no surplus, and barely enough to tide us over until the new crop comes in. The people of the New England and Atlantic Coast States should use sugar sparingly. No one should hoard or waste it. This Company has no surplus sugar to sell. It is working with the Government to conserve the supply, and to take care of the Allies so far as possible. Do not pay an increased retail price.

If he hadn't given his excessive mental energy its nat ural outlet, he, too, might have been a bored and listless invalid. And yet he and his wife were doing their best to ruin the life of their adored daughter. If you had told him so, he would have looked at you in amazement and said: "Why, what more can we do for her? She has not a wish ungratilled." It is not of much importance in our lives to have our little wishes gratified—a set of new furs, a beauti ful ring, a journey that may delight us for the moment. But it is the big needs of our natures which must be met, or we desiccate, or turn to vine gar, or suffer the bodily ills which are the result of the suppression of our souls' impulses. This girl did not want to play at doing things. She wanted to go out. in the world and put her inherited abilities for organization and con struction to the test. She had the stuff for a stiff fight In her, and all she asked was a fair Held and no favor. Yet out of their great love for her and the conviction that being older and wiser than she they knew what was best for her, her parents promptly smothered her in cotton wool. A woman writer was laughingly re counting some of her earlier experi ences. Her mother, who was an am bitious woman, had been deeply dis appointed that her daughter was not a shining social success, so she fell in enthusiastically with the girl's plans for a literary career. She ar ranged a study for her at the top of the house which was sound-proof, and where the young writer was never to be disturbed during the hours that she reserved for her work. But. alas, !lie mother's interest did not stop there. When the rejections came she went around all day look ing so lugubrious that it was pitiful. When a rare acceptance arrived she made a feast, and invited all her friends to tell them the important news. The girl couldn't write in such an atmosphere, and she simply couldn't make her mother understand why. The poor lady felt injured. She had done everything she could to assist in the development of genius and now she was accused of clipping its wings so close that it couldn't fly at all. I heard a mother wailing but yes terday that she was heart-broken because her daughter was determined to be a nun. "She is so lovely and so young. She knows nothing of the world, or what she is giving up." "Well," said a sensible ivtoman to whom she was talking, "it is only j fair to you that she wait two or three ; years and learn something of that ; world she is anxious to renounce. If at the end of that time she still de sires to enter a convent, I don't see that you have anything to say about 1 it. It is her life after all." "It's very hard to bring a daughter up, and then have her marry and leave you," says another mother. And, "It's very h'ard to have a daughter devote herself to a business or professional career, just when you're preparing to enjoy her com panionship," says another. And "It's very hard to have a daughter who won't spend ten min utes at home and cares for nothing but clothes and amusements," cries still another. Of course it's very hard. But daughters arc not automatons. The n ajority of young women of to-day are very definite, and have pretty clear ideas of what they want in life. And about the best thing any one can do for the younger generation is to believe in it and trust it. EFFECT OF DRYIXG UPON FOOD VALUE The nutritive value of food is prac tically unchanged by drying. In ad dition to the difference in flavor pro duced by drying, there is usually a difference in color. Green shell peas and beans remain practically un changed in color; but apples, for example, when pared and exposed to the air are changed to a darker color due to the action of the oxygen of the air upon certain of their ele ments. According to the laws of na ture, this is the result to be expect ed and everyone should recognize the fact. Many factory evaporated prod ucts are treated chemically to give them a lighter color, because the public demands a less highly-colored product. Such treatment, however, detracts from the natural color and flavor. The important fact, which should be clearly understood, is that al though the color and the flavor are changed, the actual nutritive value is practically unaffected by drying. The amount of water in the dried fruits and vegetables is greatly re duced, which means that there is a greater concentration of food ele ments in dried products. Pound lor pound the nutritive value is greater in dried than in fresh food. When dried foods are prepared for the table, however, the water lost \v evaporation is replaced by soaking, so that the nutritive value of cooked dried material and of fresh material is virtually equal. HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH All's Well That <e Ends Well BY JANE McLEAN. "Aren't we perfectly crazy to goi into this thing," sighed Louise, her, blue eyes anxiously regarding her! dismal surroundings, "but it's the; only location we c6uld get and 11 couldrt't bear to give up the scheme." j The other woman smiled. Im pulsive Louise, always avoiding dis appointments that sooner or later; came to her. Impractical Louise, to j whom a single success loomed large j against a dozen or more failures.. But she did get a lot of fun out of, life. "Well, it is dismal, isn't it?" was, all she said against the scheme. I "But you can help me, I know you can. If you will say just one word; for it I shall be satisfied. Every one has heaped words of scorn upon I my head until I feel as though I had! gotten Isabel into an awful scrape. | You see this is the only location we i could get for the amount we could j pay, and when I saw my tea house, going up in smoke I just determined , to take it and try my best, and I j signed the lease without waiting for . Isabel to say a word." "And how does Isabel feel?" "She would be all right, but her mother influences her. But I am going to make a success with this. I know I can do it if you will give me a few ideas." This spirit of adventure, of not knowing how things were coming out, had appealed to Carol Ward when she had first met Louise AVayne. This pet scheme of the gills to run a tea room had been what the girl had planned for for ages. Then Isabel Friend, a rather colorless, pretty girl, had offered to put in a small legacy for a share in the re turns, and Louise, glimpsing her dream come true at last, had not waited to determine whether or not Isabel would make a good working partner, but had accepted tier offer with a joyous promptness. The next impulsive thing that she had done was to sign the lease for the tea room, which was to be situ ated in a basement, now dark and very dirty. Even to Carol AVard the success of the enterprise looked du bious. But not for anything would she have admitted such a thing. "Well," she said briskly, "let's get right down to business. Louise, how much money have you?" "About a hundred dollars," the girl faltered. Carol AVard did not exclaim, she simply said, "you can borrow a few things from my shop, and we'll man age somehow." That Carol Ward, one of the best Interior decorators in New York would actually stoop to help beyond a few minor directions, brought the girl's spirits up in an instant. The older woman nodded. "As long as the place is so dark, you'd better try to keep it mysterious. If Daily Dot Puzzle •13 20. .21 '2 19. "• , 4 . .. 23 ' *'7 * 10. 's* 25 •16 * • 8 7 . • 4* *> 5 lr f .39 2 ; .

"That's what I thought," said i Louise, eagerly, willing, to speak to tell her choicest thougHts to an ap-1 preciative audience. "And 1 thought i that I could have a Chinese atmos phere, dark lanterns and so forth. I saw a stone bench in a little shop yesterday that a man said I could have for five dollars. It has just the right atmosphere, and a jeweled lan tern of hammered brass." Carol Ward looked interested. "You'll want table novelties," shei suggested. "Order old tables, and | paint them yourself with shiny black' paint. Isabel can paint some designs on them." ''Of course," Louise said ecstati cally, "as scon as I tell her she'll get! interested all over again." "I have just the right kind of dec-I orations for you," Carol Ward went j on, "some tapestries that you can j drape over the walls, some quaint! chairs, and a darling counter that! you can finish temporarily." "Oh, Tow lovely," said Louise, "and I thought we might sell queer little things on the side, some novel ties that will give the place a name. That counter will be just the place! to display them. Oh, you are. a dav-j ling," she finished with shining eyes, "I thought you'd do so much in the| way of encouragement and new I you've helped plan the whole thing besides.

How Soldiers Stop Serious Rheumatic Pains Anyone can do it within ten minutes and without any liniments or ointments, writes T. S. Wilburn after serving three years in France with an Army Medical Corps. If there are any rheumatic possibili ties in a soldier's system, it requires only a few hours of standing; in the cold, wet and muddy trenches to bring on a crippling attack. Wet feet and clothing without opportunity to change, long periods of exposure to the elements, and various other con ditions at the Front are, of course, extremely bad for a rheumatic sub ject, and rheumatism therefore came to be regarded more or less a neces sary evil. A very convenient and ex tremely effective treatment by means of which the medical officers Anally succeeded in stopping almost immedi ately the torturning pain of muscular, articular or inflammatory rheuma tism, gouty twinges, stiff Joints, lum bago, sciatica, neuritis, neuralgia and other uric acid complaints, may be of interest to civilians who are afflicted with these forms of acute misery. To quickly soothe and draw the pain out of any sore muscles or ach ing feet, and to limber stiff joints, all you Heed to do is to bathe either the entire body or simply the affected in the face of almost certain defeat, | child," said Carol Ward earnestly, | "and when you get tired of your tea house, try my line of work; I'll givej you a job. Your ideas are good, and | a girl with your cheerful tempera- j ment is certain to make a success j out of a hopeless failure." "Then there's something in being i Impractical," said Louise naively, nnd they both laughed. "If you have faith enough in your own beliefs," said Carol Ward firmly.

I've suffered all retorts for the sake of peace between us all. She has many friends to go out with, yet seems to> enjoy hurting my feelings all along. Do you think I ought to speak to my fiance about her insults? and her coming with us all the time? Your advice would be greatly appre ciated. VIOLA.
