Growing Spirit of Thrift.

There is a growing tendency on the
part of the people everywhere to be
more thrifty, to save more and to hus-
band their financial resources as they
never did before. This quality is be-
ing preached from the pulpit, in every
schoolhouse and in every well regu-
lated newspaper, the country over. 1t
is developing a characteristic in peo-
pie for which they will be the better
off, more independent, more self-re-
liant, more sturdy and more resource
full. The tendency is among the best
signs of the times. A factor in this
education is the newspaper advertise
ments of various banks appearing in
the columns of the press of the coun-
try. These are causing the people to
think, to save and grow more thrifty
than ever. This form of advertise
ment is form that is not only help
ing the banks, but also the people,
turning their attention to a subject on
which they need to think deeply. The
bank ad is responsible for much good.

Instinct Versus Reason.

There has been current in England
Of recent years reaction against rea-
son, an avowed worship of instinct and
tradition and even prejudice. The
doctrines Of this reaction are within
themselves fascinating, and they have
been preached by fascinating writer's.
The way of instinct and old habit is
30 full Of ease,so facile and strong and
nntroubled! Look at the faces of men
who are wrapped up in some natural
and instructive purpose. Look at a
dog chasing his prey, a lover pursuing
his beloved, band of vigorous men
advancing to battle, crowd of friends
drinking and laughing. That shows US,
say the writer's aforesaid, what life
can be and what it ought to be- Let
us not think and question" they say.
Let US be healthy and direct, not
fret against the main current of In
stinctive feeling and tradition"
In matters of art such a habit of
mind may be valuable; in matters of
truth or of conduct it is, I believe,
as disastrous as it is alluring Gilbert
Murray in the Atlantic.

War Aids Jap Wooden Industry

War Aids Jap Woolen Industry.
The army clothing orders received
in Japan since the outbreak Of war
have stimulated the tagging ambition
to make Japan great wool manufac
turing country. The Mainichi (Osaka)
points out truly enough how the in
dustry had subdivided itself in Europe
where England, Germany and Austria
each had it's own specialties and ma
nipulated the fiber in different stages
of manufacture. Seeing that Austria,
liza is the great country for the Supply
of the raw material, the Osaka paper
thinks 1t would be much more "a,
tional for Japan to receive the wool
and manipulate 1t in all stages before
it was passed on to Europe than it is
for it to go the round on to Europe and
then come out to Japan in the manufac
tured state. 1t therefore exhorts the ia
panese manufacturers to put the nec
essary energy into the task Of building
up trade which European competi
tors will not be able to take away
again after the war.-Japan Chronicle

A house overrun with ants is not a

serious matter that it used to be-
There was a time when it was prac-
tically impossible to rid a house OF
ants. Now, however, it is compare.

This is due to the fact that a paste

over ants. 1t not only drives them
out of a house or store Immediately
but keeps them out afterward. Thou

evidence as to it's efficiency.

RESINOL SURELY MAKES
ITCHING ECZEMA VANISH

There is immediate relief for skins
itching, burning and disfgured by
eczema, heat-rash or similar torment
ing skin trouble, in warm bath with
resinol soap and simple application
of resinol ointment. The soothing,
healing resinol medication sinks right
into the skin, stops itching instantly,
and soon clears away all trace of
eruption, even in severe and stub
born cases where other treatments
have had no effect. After that, the
regular use of resinol soap is usually
enough to keep the skin clear and
healthy. Every druggist sells resino1
ointment and resinol soap.-Adv.

AsphyxIatina Gas In War.

The use Of asphy xiating gas in war
is not new, as an article you carried
recently showed. But one instance,
from literature, as I recall it, you over
looked. That instance is in Caesars
Column" a novel of the economic rev.
olution in 1880 or thereabouts, written
by Ignatius Donnelly, thirty or thirty
five years ago. In the book, Donnelly
has a great scene showing how the
Terrors, the airships, killed off the
army Of the plutocrats and captured
New York with it's ten millions for the
army of the people by dropping gas
bombs.-Kansas City Star.
