into a seat The elder man gazed at
him not unsympathetically.

foolish words to which she now holds
me. l am coming to you to ask you

The elder man clasped him by the

THRIFT IS PROFITABLE

Men who practice thrift find that it
means competence and comfort.
Spendthrift spells eveEtua want and
unhappiness. Thrift always commands
respect and often brings wealth and
honor. SLendthrift commands moth
ing buv d lot OF oish spenders. so
long as one has money, a d when that
is gone dis ltent, poverty and misery
are ones companions
SO plain is the highway to reason
abe competence and pecuniary ease
that it is Il marvel that We have so
many improyideat ard poverty strck-
en- people among us. 1t seems. how
ever that hmuan nature is so consti-
tuted that a majority of people would
prefer few hours or weeks of excess
sive enjoyment and pleasure at the
risk of future want, rather than to
deny themselves for a few luxuries
now, so that future years of comfort
may be assured.
A careful study of the condition of
poor people and of the unfortunate
state of the unemployed convinces one
that the absence of thrift, combined
with lack of proper vocational training
and disregard for authority, furnishes
the principal cause for poverty and
crime. We spend millions of dollars
for doob education but pay little at
tention to intoxicating proper habits
of thrift and due respect for self
responsibility and proper authority.
TO correct this we must begin early
with the child. The child should not
only receive all the advantage that the
school can give, but he must be train
ed from earliest childhood into correct
habits of life ard thinking. and promi-
nent among these habits is the habit
of thrift.
Every child, as soon as he is able to
handle figures at all, should be given
little account book and required to
keep an account of all money he re-
ceives and all money paid out by him,
and somewhat later he should be re-
CURED to keen an account of all money
paid out by him for any purpose. Sew

The child should early learn the
lesson that it is foolish to follow any

it is wise to learn sometimes to deny
ones self present pleasure and fancies
for future permanent good and unless
one can and does this he can never
hope to be good, or great, or even COM
Portable in life.
Parents should daily impress this
lesson not only for the good of the
child, but for the comfort of the par
ent in later years. The training the
child receives before he is II years old

evident that with the increasing dan.
gers In the East the presence of these
troops in a field where their services
would be most valuable becomes i'm.
perative.
While overconfidence Of the com.
mander may have contributed to the
failure Of the advance on Bagdad. the
principal reason was the insuf'ciency
Of the e1~peditionary force to It's task.
The loss Of the British at the bat.
tie Of Ctesiphon was 4,J67. This Ia a
small number as losses go in the pres.
ent war. yet 1t must have been about
one.fourth Of the entire force. Their
retirement to Kut-el-Amara was ap-
parently In good order. but in the
meantime the Turks had collected a
superior force and attacked them at
this point. The reports indicate that
the British. while holding ont vail
antly. have been trapped and are in
danger Of being destroyed. 1t Is
scarcely likely that the Indian troops
could be despatched from France in
time to render much assistance to
General TowNsHENp's army and there
Is no good reason to believe that a
new Mesopotamia expedition will at
the present time be undertaken.
Recent developments all indicate
that the British are determined to
defend Egypt and the Suez. And 1t
is strongly probable that to these de-
fences the Indian troops have been
sent. Limiting the visitors to Egypt
and sending ships around the Cape
instead Of through the canal show
that the British Government appreci-
ates the danger and is not to be
found in the same state Of unpre.
paredness as at other points. For a
naval Power like England the Suez
Canal is Of vital Importance. 1t has
been called the "jugular vein" Of the
British Empire. No blow would be
so serious to British prestige in the
East as inability to hold the Suez.
Failure now would be fraught with
more peril than II the British had not
held 1t during the war, for 1t would
prove to India. Australia and the Far
East a weakness that victories else
where could not counterfeit.
