AN ANCIENT ROMANCE.
The Story of Ruth and eoax and True
 Human Kindness.

The Story of Ruth and Boax and True
 Human Kindness.
 The book of Ruth Is the greatest pas toral idyl in literature. It is founded. according to the Christian Herald. on loving kindness. the loving kindness of the Moabites revealed to her family and the loving kindness of Boaz. the wealthy lsraelite. to Ruth, his kins. woman. It also contains the germ of that great heartedness which is the center of the gospel of Christian love.
 It Is u book that opens with tears and famine and ends with the sound of wedding bells. The story turns upon the straightforwardness of Boaz, who showed kindness and maniiness to Ruth. a member of nation that was Israel's foe. and in that kindness found. ed q new house. the house of Jesse and David the royal line that begat greater than David.
 Boaz is immortal among Bible heroes for his kindness. his plain. everyday generosity. his sense of protector and care for the lonely. unprotected Moab itish girl. his dead kinsman's wife. who in her poverty gleaned in his har- vest field after the reapers. Boaz gave orders to his reapers that they should allow her to glean even among the sheaves of barley and by his large heartedness gained wife and. more than that. made place for himself in that immortal company which is re- nowned for naught but for being kind.

WHERE THE MONEY WILL GO.

Some time ago our statement was challenged in regard to the fact that the present agitation of the Navy league for a great preparedness fund was prompted by the great steel magnates of the east, who would be the beneficiaries.
 For months tons of literature have been sent to the press of the United States, advancing arguments why the people should favor an increased army and navy, and urging that the editors use their space to further the war propaganda. It was thought queer at the time that so much mon- ey would be spent in furthering the $500, 100000 bond issue. from patri- otic motives.
 Representative Clyde Tavenner of Illinois asked Congress to investi- gate the personnel of these jingo pa triots, and upon it's refusal, began 8 quiet investigation himself. Now he comes forward with the charge that his investigations have unearthed the fact that the Navy league Is fostered by contributions from the prominent Steel magnates, many of whom are officers in the Navy league. He has disclosed a startling condition of af- fairs among the near-patriots who are behind the movement.
 If, after these disclosures, Con- gress does not take steps to build huge intuition plants where the na- tion can manufacture it's own war needs, it will show that the taint of graft has reached even to the seats of the mighty.
 In an open letter to Col. Robert M. Thompson, president of the league. answering the latter's challenge to name men interested in war muni- tions manufacture who have contrib uted to the leagues treasury. Tav- enner says:
 "I call your attention to the fact that Ebert H. Gary, who is describ- ed in the directory of directors for 1914 as chairman of the board of di- rectors and chairman of the finance committee of the United States Steel corporation contributed $1,000 on June 10, 1915, and that on the same date J. P. Morgan subscribed $2,0O0.
 "I call your attention to the fact that J. P. Morgan, who is director of the United States Steel corpora tion, was formerly treasurer of the

MONEY AND THE HOME.
How One Family Solved the Difficult
 Financial Problem.

How Ono Family Solved the Difficult
 Financial Problem.
 In the American Magazine contrib utor tells how he and his wife have solved the problem of domestic ex- penses.
 When my wife and l were first mar ried." he says. i've experienced souie difficulty in the handling of my salary. My wife would often want little things and would hesitate to ask me for the money. fearing that would think them silly. Again. she would need clothes oc- casionally and would not wish to ask for them, believing that either could not afford them or would think her ex- travagnnt. Often l would see things that desired. but many times would not buy them because l could not af- ford to spend a like amount on her.
 "So we devised method of dividing the money. Upon receiving my salary twice month l pay whatever house hold bills that are on hand. such as rent, coal. groceries, light, etc. The bal. ance divide. giving half to my wife and retaining the other half myself. Then we each pay half the daily incl dental expenses of the house, being very exact even to the purchase of Q yeast cake. Personal expenses. such as clothes. car fares. etc., we each pay from our own halves. If we go out for days pleasure pay the bills, and | yhn% ' spent, and my wife pays me her half. Thus each of us has half my salary. each pays half of the household ex- penses, and each has half of the bal ance for his own use."
