THRIFTY NATIONS.

Nowhere is the necessity Of thrift
more appreciated than in the nations
now ut war and Americans can, with
time well spent study the plans that
are being carried out in these unfortun-
ate countries. In the large cities in
Germany the problem OF supplying
milk to the inhabitants Is serious
one. Twelve of the principal Prussian
municipalities have solved 1t in this
manner: They have purchased $4,000
goats in Switzerland. The animals
have been turned over to the owners
Of small farms in the suburbs Of the
twelve Prussian cities on the condi-
ton that the land owners deliver 70
per cent OF the milk obtained from
the goats to the public relief stations.
II IL then distributed among the poor
families and small children.
In Canada the finance department
is planning to make use OF 5000
branch Offices of the Canadian bank to
help float the next domestic war cred
It. The plan is to allow an individual
to open a savings account with the un-
derstanding that when it reaches prob.
ably $40 the account will be turned in.
to a war saving certificate, paving
possibly. per cent interest. In this
manner the thrift of the people OF
Canada at once becomes a direct
financial aid to the nation
