Your heat will never be great
enough, your acids will never be
strong enough, nor your knives
sufficiently sharp to reach the
Master Truth. For It is not in
these dead things, but in living
man.
you win not admit 1t, perhaps,
but we have produced greater
psychologists than you-only we
call them poets. Our wandering
beggar troubadours are nearer
the Master Truth, know more of
the heart of man, its pains and
hopes and fears, than your scien-
lists, although they have never
dissected a brain.
Truth? Man wants to know
what he should do; your science
tells him what he is made Of. Man
asks what he should beIieVe-your
science tells him what he can
know"

Money Spending
By MRS. FRANK LEARNED.
Author of 1.-THE Etiquette Of New York To-day"

TITO keep accounts may seem
a prosaic matter Some
girls may say that they
have little to spend and It is USE
less to write down in an account
book where the money goes.
But needless worry may be
saved If one form a habit of en-
tering ones daily expenditures in
a little account book. The habit
is in itself a training in accuracy
and carefulness and is a firm
check on wastefulness. There is
less danger that money will be
wasted on unnecessary things,
candy, soda water, car fares, rib
bons, laces or tempting bargains.
Wastefulness may be in buying
things just because q friend has
the same; novelties seen in shop
windows; articles reduced in
price and not really needed.
A girl who has an allowance
from her parents should be as
careful about spending il as II she
were earning her own money. To
keep within an allowance is. IAN
education. Thrift thus will be
acquired. Prudence in choosing
well and in purchasing, fore
thought in managing expenses
will be learned.
And, above all, there should be
appreciation of responsibility in
speaSiin. Bedes, fortune is
tickle. There is sometimes a
change from riches tGpoverty
Habits Of economy afil of saw
ing Systematically are of Salue to
every woman, no matter wharher
circumstances. Girls who are
earning salaries should realize
that TO learn how to spend and
row TO save is of vital conse-
quence. A good plan is to count
up income and expenses, decide

seems irrelevant - irreverent-
blasphemy against the sovereign
ty of man. All these centuries,
when we have been thinking about
ourselves, you have been thinking
about things.
I'VE are inclined to think of all
your laboratories as vain toys
hardly becoming to man. Is the
world better place to live in be-
cause we know it is round? Is
man happier because in your lab
oratories you have cut out his
soul?
Man for man, in the old days,
in the strength OF our right arms,
we were at least your equals.

TIME other day in certain city
sent a bundle to the .laun-
dry.
When the clothes came back
there came also big, square,
sealed envelope. I opened TINS
envelope and found in 1t three
ten dollar bills, all nicely washed,
starched, ironed and carefully
placed between two pieces OF
cardboard ard tied up with blue
ribbon in a lovers knot.
No explanation was made, but
in the bill saw they had charged
me % cents for laundering the
mazuma.
OF course I kicked, but what
was the use!
Then just for the fun of the
thing, in order to get a line on
that particular washhouse, went
around and demanded an explain
alton.
The young woman in charge
said they had found the money
in the right-hand pocket of left
hand white vest which I had sent
in the bundle.
Then she explained. quite in
cidentally, that whenever soiled
clothes came in every garment
was carefully inspected for valu-
ables. Every day they found
money in pockets, diamond studs
in shirt bosoms, valuable links in
cuffs and collar buttons enough to
roll under all the bureaus in
Christendom.
1T is a part of our business"
said the young woman, "to pro-
tect our customers against their
own carelessness."
She saw l was interested, and
continued, I'VE never send gar
ments home with the buttons off.
Also, we do any little darning and
mending that should be done, and
all this without charge. Our bust
ness is to please our customers"

A LONG WAR.

(New Work World.)
Lord Kitchener's warning that the
war may last three years or more and
that it will strain all the resources OF
the British empire is a professional
opinion that cannot be waived lightly
aside.
Now that the allied forces have ex-
perienced their first serious defeat,
and the temper and purpose of Ger
man imperialism are more clearly re-
veaIed. it must be plain to London
and Paris alike that this is no holt
day war.
The north suffered two years of
almost continuous defeats before It
began to wear down the resistance
of the confederacy. 1t is not incon-
ceivable that Great Britain, France
and Russia may battle full year
before the military strength of Ger
man imperialism is seriously weak
ened.
When all the impedimenta of civ
iliZation are thrown aside, armies can
remain in the field as long as they
did in Napoleon's time. In a con-
flict of this kind the advantage rests
first with the power that can imme-
diately put the greatest number Of
trained soldiers into action. In a
long -drawn-out war the final ad-
vantage rests with the powers that
have the superior natural resources.

The usual course of exports abroad
that we expected TO return gold to this
country within the next four months
has been interrupted and interfered
with. bringing about more or less de-
moralized condition of business in our
own country, and has placed a tre-
.mendous strain on our banking IA
cilities.
1T is, therefore, deemed unwise at
this time to withdraw government
funds from the banks. because it
would necessitate the banks reducing
their credits. embarrass the crop
movement, reduce the treasury bal
ance to the minimum and probably
bring disastrous conditions to our
people.
1T therefore seems wisdom for con
gress TO levy a tax at this time to
take care of the deficit in our Gus
toms revenue brought about by con-
ditions over which our government
and our president have no control"
That the government is taking the
wise and patriotic course may be cas-
lily seen. The plan is one of partic-
ular benefit to producers. The farm
er with his crop yet unsold would be
in bad plight if credits should be cur
tailed and he should be forced to sell
his crop at time when the market
is stalled because of poor shipping
facilities.
