Breach of Discipline Winked At.

The failure OF the French officers TO
note that their men were smoking pipes
until the practice had become prac-
tically universal, Is generally attributed
to the fact that all have been so busy
fighting that the breach OF discipline es-
capped notice.
Now the practice is so universal and
so firmly implanted in the ranks of the
"poilus" that the question OF roofing II
out presents serious problem. The
men say they were driven to smoking
pipes because the tobacco furnished
them by the government doesn't lend It,
self TO cigarette rolling.
In their makeup, stoutly insist that
trench troops working hard at pipes
that have been on the job ever since
the battle OF the Marine have more pro-
lection against German gas attacks
than can be afforded by any gas mask
Only In one respect do they show the
least degree OF penitence. They are in
clined to think that the few Instances in
which the German official communicates
have charged the French with using
asphyxiating gases were due merely to
the presence of overzealous pipe smok-
ers In the front-line trenches.
Regret Stain on Nations Name.
While they profess to regret deeply
this stain on Frances fair name. they
still do not think they should be ask
ed to give up their pipes.
The general impression In that In rec
ognition of the glorious work done by
the French armies at Verdun and on
the Somme, Minister OF War Roques
will annul the prohibition against pipe
smoking. and thus restore the French
armies TO the basis OF strict discipline
vance-pipe-smoking being their
only breach.

Pipe smoking Is one OF the severest

THE YLUELL MEETING

( Tho interest taken in the Yeuell
meeting was demonstrated last night
by the largest audience being present
at the Growers Warehouse that ever
attended q religious service In Mays

interest all were taking in the success
OF these meetings. Earle Yearsley

solo and The Holy City" illustrated as
his second. Both we're very impress
sive. Many times has II been evident
that the gospel truths can be sung as
well as preached to the profit OF the
cause.
sat as nothing can fully supplant
the preaching and as few can present
tho gospel SO effectively the large
crowd was ready and anxious to hear
DR.. Ieuell preach on the objectionable
sin. tol forty minutes he developed
his theme, closing with the account OF
the day of PentacOst. II was a season
OF reasoning and not an appeal to
tho emotions.
Tho sermon tonight will be "The

been selected. Gordon Smoot will be

be sung The first forty minutes will
be spent in this way under proper lead
ership. The public is cordially invited
TO be present The meeting will be-
gin at 1880 An illustrated song will

On Wednesday evening the sermon

for food, adding part of the difference to more
comforts Of living and part to savings.
(3) The percentage for clothing rent and

It's an old bromide that no matter how much

like veIl-planned budget gives backbone to our
spending In later article will be explained
the watchdog over the budget"-that helps
you stick to it, check your expenses so that
you get more for your money and save more.
THE BUSINESS woMANs BUDGET
aDo save money! Yes, If there's anything
left after pay my necessary expenses"
This opinion, expressed by a number OF buaf-
ness women, exploded the faIlacy that business
women can save more than the average home
woman on the same income, partly because the
business woman is assumed to be more bust
nesske in her spending and largely because
she is assumed to have only herself to care for
out Of her salary.
But there are two factors in the business
yornan's spending which too often necessarily
increase her living costs very much larger pro-
portionately on important items than that Of
the homemAker with ths sams incrma
First is the fact that ths business vonrxn's
clothing bill is very much larger. She nuse
wear good looking clothes to ths cfics-no
cheap house dresses constitute the bulk Of her
wardrobe, as they do for the home woman's
daily wear Her tailor-made or one-piece
dresses must be Of fairly good quality; she
must have some variety, and, alas. the clothes
ret such hard wear through daily travelling on
cars or working in dusty surroundings that
they must be replaced frequently.
The second factor that increases dispropor-
tionately the living expenses of the business
wornxn Is her bin for food and shelter. OF
course, the business woman who lives at homo
with her family and pays only nominal sum
for "board" is not considered here. Too often
she has almost her whole salary to spend as
she likes, and necessities like food and shelter
do not come out of it mt all In the following
suggested budget. only the woman who supports
herself entirely and actually Is considered.
Her total for food, shelter and operating
will be somewhat higher proportionately than
the family budget because Of this reason

turedly, if you have a $4,000 income your
standards Of living immediately rise and you

sary for business or social reasons
On the other hand, the percentage for food
varies according TO the income. Food Is an
absolute necessity and the cost Of certain

But, in making up budget for these times
we must take into consideration the higher
cost Of necessities, which compel US to pay 50
much for food and clothing, and ofttimes for
rental. To make up for the higher costs IN
these directions, it is necessary to cut into op-
Grating expenses and advancement And this
means that in making up our budget on
small income we must definitely plan to forego
not only the luxuries Of amusements, but many
~ the comforts like extra household help and
service.
Here are given a group of budgets prepared
for the family with an income between $1,000
and $4,000 year. If you income varies you
can easily adapt this division by bearing IN
mind the following principles:
% II your Income is lower than 500 per
month Cor your family larger than five per-
sons) your percentage for food will have TO DO
higher than SO per cent; and you will have 70
