When sons ami brothers leave for
the front It Is hut to lie expected that
mothers nnd sisters will feel downcast
and sorrowful. A lump will rise In
the throat of even the strongest, and
tears well up into eyes that Mink hard
to keep them hack. This mother who
has Just seen her sun pass hy on the
road that will take him to France, Is
striiKKllug steadfastly hut unsuccessful
ly to keep the sulis that are forchiK
their way to expression. Her daugh
ter hesldo her is made of sterner
stuff. She Is sad, the expression on
her face shows that, but Is keeping
hack the sobs ami the tears.

Physical Tests Are No Longer Em
ployed in Making the Selection of
a "Perfect Woman."
The British perfect woman hns been
discovered. She Is forty nnd the
mother of Ave children. There are no
statistics ns to height, weight or bust
measurement. The physical features
are not tho most important part,
though they nre to be taken for grant
ed from nn nrray of social nnd spirit
ual qualities. Here is what ninKes
her the perfect woman: She Is In
happy circumstances, living in a benu
tiful pnrt of the country, n few miles
from n big town. She Is the center of
n good home, In which there Is a
standard of cleanliness nnd comfort
nnd where good taste Is everywhere
visible, In furniture, carpets, curtains,
wall paper, ornaments nnd clothes.
And then the description goes on to
say :
"Tho Ideal woman Is sensible nnd
businesslike nnd her home Is a place
of pence. She Is patriotic nnd Inter
ested In politics. She takes walks,
rides, bicycles, .climbs, dances, skates,
rows nnd plnys games. She can ride
a horse and drive a motorcar."
Thus It Is the personality, not the
person, that makes the perfect woman.
One often sees where the grace nnd
benuty brenk through the fashion nnd
form nnd mnke even n plain person nt
tractlve. The latest test of the per
fect woman Is spiritual, not physical.

THE FOOD QUESTION.
The paragraphs here given are from
portions of an open letter to Premier
Lloyd-George, written by Mr. Arthur
Mee, leader In the "Strength of Urit
oln" movement. The subject mutter la
pertinent to any warring nation which
permits the sale, tnauuf act tire. Impor
tation or exportation of Intoxicants:
"It Is only the food question thut
trembles In the balance," days our
minister of agriculture. "Once we de
cide that In our favor peace will be
nearer." Then what Infamous treach
ery is it that turns this vital scale
against us? We want D.fNMi.iMH) loaves
a day, and brewers destroy l.'iO.OOO of
them. If waste Is u crime, who Is the
criminal here?
"You stopped the Import of rum
because we have enough to last for
years, but a ship that might have
brought In rilO,()()U loaves has just
brought In 130,000 gallons of rum for
1920.
"A ship from n great wheat country
has lately arrived with space crammed
with brewers' vats.
"I5read costs life, you tell us; but
you have allowed the brewers to Ira
port, at the risk of life, grnln for
H'i.OOO loaves eery day since you camo
into power to destroy It for beer, and
export the beer at the risk of life.
"It Is not safe to Imperil the health
of our poor, while brewers grow rich
by destroying bread. It Is not safo to
let poor people wait In queues for
sugar while cartloads pour Into
brewers' destructors. You think It Is
not snfe to deal with drink; but Is It
safe to fool with food?
"You talk of the workman, but have
you asked him to give up his beer
that wo may have more to cat? Too
have not. You asked for his son and
he gave him, and he will give you his
beer If you nsk. Our workmen ara
not Germans that they should drink
us Into famine, but they go on because
they think you will say the word, as
you have always done, when the vital
moment comes."
BIG WAR PROBLEM.
"I have found In my forty-two years
experience with young men In the
army camps that booze Is responsible
for H3 per cent of nil the trouble they
get Into." Thus Hpake Col. W. J. Nich
olson, commandant at Fort Sheridan,
III. "When a young fellow with $15 In
bis pocket comes lnid a city for tho
Ilrst time ho thinks he has to blow It
In to be a man. And when he gets
three or four drinks his whole view
point changes. My business Is train
ing men for the United Stutes nrmy,
ami In all the time I have been en
gaged In this work I have known of.
very few cases where liquor did not
play an important part In causing the
misdeeds for which men nre disci
plined. A soldier who gets drunk Is
only 40 per cent efficient nnd men of
that type nre not the ones this coun
try Is looking for to defend It."
FOR SOCIAL SAFETY.
It Is, ns I conceive It, tho duty of
health departments to teach, tench,
teach, persuade, demonstrate, exhibit,
exhort, prove that ulcohol ns a bever
age or In patent medicines Is a men
uce to personal nnd community health,
is n common source of sickness and
death. Is blocking the path of preven
tive medicine and Is a menace to the
physical and social development of tho
nation. lr. Haven Emerson, New
Yuri; City. Health Commissioner.
The recent claims that lecithin, or
"nerve fat," has been discovered In
beer Is Interesting, If true. If It has
despite all the painstaking negntlve
analyses of tunny generations of chem
ists It Is quite safe to estimate that
the total amount contained In four car
loads of beer might approximate the
quantity concealed about the person of
oue vigorous fresh egg, which would
give it a nutritional value almost as
high us that of the hole In n doughnut
Dr. Edwin F. Bowers.
THINK IT OVER.
W. D. Haywood, general secretary
treasurer of tho I. W. W. In an In
terview In the Chicago Tribune said
that tho strikers In the lumber camps
In the states of .Washington, Idaho,
Montana nnd Oregon nnd In British
Columbia hnd made a record that he
wanted the people to think nbout.
We quote him:
"We have nbout the rlghest, most)
uncouth crowd In the world In these
lumber camps that Is what our ene
mies sny nbout us, anyway. But I
want to call your attention to the
records : Not a single ense of drunk
enness hns been reported from the L
W. W. strike zones among the lumber
jacks In our movement. Think that
over."
Washington, Idaho, Montnnn, Ore
gon and British Columbia nre all dry.
CONSTITUTIONAL PROHIBITION.
Constitutional prohibition for the
nntlon fur from conferring upon the
federal government new powers will
take from the federal government
power which It now has the power to
tax liquor. And It strengthens the po
lice powers of the stntes to deal with
Internal affnlrs by adding to them the
active support of the federal govern
ment. From being the milliner of
state laws, the federal governmen will
become their supporter and a poslthre
assistant In their enforcement Dan
iel Poling.
PUT3 ALL ON SAME LEVEL.
A license law Is renlly a prohibition
law. It prohibits the sale of Intoxl
ennts hy everybody not holding n li
cense. Nation-wide prohibition simply
denies rheso special privileges to the
few nnd puts all citizens on the same
level.
MUST GIVE UP BEER.
Prof. Itudolph Eucken, the great
German philosopher, declares that his
country must give up beer, which
"breeds the wretched type of beer-Phil-Istlne
with which everyone Is familiar.'
