rial comes from Shiny, sticky sub
stance that develops in the process
of refining the oil. The problem
of getting rid of this disagreeable
material led to number of scientific
Investigations which resulted in its
conversion into paraffin.
One of the most impressive lessons
to be learned in converting a waste
product into wonderful source of
revenue is to be found in the south
where cotton seed for generations
had been considered of no value and
was thrown away. Indeed it often
had to be disposed of at considerable
expense. Now there are hundreds
of plants extracting cotton seed oil
and the total value of this product
amounts to over $50,O00,O00. 1t is

products for cattle.
These are some of the things that
have been accomplished by business
interests. Individuals, by thrifty
habits, can do as much proportion
ately. !!
Bread should not be wasted. Stale
bread is better than fresh bread. In
Germany it must be twenty-four
hours old before it can be sold. In,
this country dozens of loaves arc
thrown away by careless housewives,
when many delicious dishes might
be made from the stale loaf. For
instance, as substitute for cracker
crumbs it is excellent and the careful
cook will grind it-up in the food chop
per to roll her meat or vegetables irt
for frying. Bread pudding may be
made from it, also bread omelette,
bread pancakes, bread croquettes,
bread soup and many other dishes.
You buy at the bakers two loaves of
bread a day or S. worth month.
For $3.50 you can buy the materials,
do your own baking, which many
housewives are now advocating, and
have better and more wholesome
bread. That is a saving of S cents 4
day or nearly $1,000 year.
Each family should lay away regu-
larry part of its income. Even if
the amount is but a few pennies a
week, it will be start. Thrift, like
all other habits, grows on one. Re-
member that the future happiness
and prosperity of the average Ameri-
can family depends on the proper adj

become almost unknown, his days are
|almost matter of history, while the
third in this great trinity is just being
recognized in many places. It is the
mission of this last factor to round
tout and make more perfect the work
lof its predecessors by overcoming
some of the conditions they have pro-
duced.
1t is a sad commentary on human
lily enmasse that wherever commerce
and industries command the services
OF large numbers of people there Is In
Ivariably a deterioration in the aver
Iage wholesomeness of living. Some
live too we'll, many live well enough,
but more only exist. Until the COM
bination of mans effort made 1t neces-
sary to give scientific care to the
NEEDY, it was well to leave this work
in the hands of any who might feel
called upon to do it. Times have
changed and today when the standard
of living has been raised to the high
plane it now occupies and when it Is
becoming more and more difficult for
the ordinary man to provide against
hunger and want, it Is no longer safe
to allow the charitable resources OF
any community to be controlled by
|novices. 1t is no longer kind to the
man OF means or to the man without
means to withhold the protecting arm
LOT discerning love from those who
need 1t most. 1t is not kind to the
prosperous because it is creating a
rapidly increasing number of those
who try to live on unearned bread. 1t
is not kind to the one who has fallen
in life's battle for independent exist,
ence because it does not help him re-
gain his footing. 1t does not help
him to become a citizen in the full
sense of the term. an active member
OF social and industrial community
industrially efficient, contributing to
the worlds work as fully as he shares
in the product.

were living when we first called we're
not the original causes Of distress, al
though the only ones over which we
could exert any influence. There was
sickness and lack of employment.
When the man should have been In

lco-operation Of past employers,
friends, neighbors, relatives and the
pastor, as we'll as that of those who
we're not in as close touch with the

to find the cause and remove 1t. In
other words, % give back to the man

one of the forces surrounding the man
in his home proved strong enough to

rather than that for which they are
asking. This meeting the needs rath-
er than supplying the wants Is per-
haps the keynote of organized charity.
And yet meeting the needs is only
itemporizing and any community which
goes no further in its efforts in behalf
or its less fortunate members is fall
ing short of it's opportunity. To cure
lis good, but to prevent is better.
More and more are enlightened thinh-
ers approaching the value of prevent
ing a man becoming pauperised and
of preventing the construction and
continuance of such buildings as are
not fit for human habitation. More
and more are we approaching the
value of preventing the growth of
conditions in which filth, squalor and
lovercrowding almost II not quite pre-
clude the possibility of clean whole
Isome life. Remedy the conditions
surrounding the lives of our depend
ents and we will reduce the number OF
our defective and criminals.
Organized charity is love working
with discernment; love working WIN
open eyes, anxious to see the real
need Of the sufferer. 1t is this rather
than that blind love which in seeing,
sees no more than that which lies on
the surface, the effect, and tries to
effect cure by making conditions
more bearable without improving
them. Discerning love, that brotherly
love which considers not itself, takes
time to learn and understand the
treason for mans dependence and then
lagain takes time to remove the cause
thus permanently relieving the dis
tress. To be able to do this, organ
lied charity can have but one rule,
one bit of red tape, and that rule is
that each case of restitution or dis
tress shall be treated not as some
other similar case was treated. but as
the needs require. Thus two men out
of work will not require the same
treatment. One may be without en-
ployment because his trade is obso-
lete, while the other may be unable
to work because sick and physically
unable.
