LACK OF FUEL IN
PALESTINE CAuS|N6
Intense SUFFERING
ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence

(Associated Press Correspondence
LONDON, Dec. 2S.-Advices receiv-
ed here indicate that this winter is
looked forward to with the greatest
dread by relief workers in the Holy
Land. The food situation is no better
than it was a year ago, and the great
est suffering is caused by the want of
fuel and light.
The cold II Jerusalem during jan
uary and February is intense, and
the scarcity of fuel is SO severe that
it is difficult to have a fire even to
cook with. Petroleum, formerly
brought in abundance from the Rus
sian Oilfields as we'll as from Ameri-
can sources, is not to be purchased
at any price. Coal, formerly obtained
/ from France and Wales, is nowhere
obtafnable even in the smallest guam
titles The only fuel remaining is
wood. and very little of this is to be
had. and that at very high price.
Even before the war the wood sup
ply had become very scanty. owing to
| neglect of proper forestry work and
| the lack of forest laws. In many

Ambition

A mans ultimate aim or ambition should
always be tinged with the color of idealism,
for the reason that it always remains just a
little beyond his power of attainment One
who reaches his final goal finds his race fin
ished; nothing further to lure him on; no
urther ends to reach. But there is no end
to the road; there should be further out
on the highway; a continent ''peyond;"
for as someone has we'll and truly said: GA
mans ultimate responsibility is met, not by
what he gains, but by what he is and does. !"
Hamilton Wright Mady puts it this way:
when man sets exterior reward of anv
kind before himself as the final goal of his
endeavors, he breaks away from the divine
order of things and destroys that deep inter-
ior harmony which ought to keep his spirits
in line and in tune with the Creative Eie-
ment in the world. Selected.

Learn This Lesson.

Nothing worth having is given away in
this world-nor in any other that we know
of No one ever rides deadhead no the road
happiness. He who tries to do SO, never
findSh destination He is left in thedumps.
1t is probably too much to say that all hu-
man misery cen be traced to the deadhead
habit Misery hae ae many phases as hui
manity. But if we make this statement ne
gatively,it will not be far from the truth.
No one is ever miserable who would truly
pay the price of happiness. No one is really
miserable who has tried to cheaper life.
The price which every good and perfect gift
demands, we would somehow or other get
out of paying. But we can never cheat the
gods. Their choicest gifts lie not on the
bargain counters. Our reward comes with
our effort. 1t is part of the same process
In this matter man gets what he deserves
melted out with the justice of eternity.

Harry Lauder On Thrift.

Harry Lauder, the famous Scotch come
who commands a fabulous salary for his
vaudeville sketches, believes in thrift. He
wouldn't be a Scotchman if he did not.
Easy come, easy go is the rule in profeS
sions where big money is made for little
effort. The theatrical profession is noted
for its spending propensities, but Harry be-
lieves in saving. Out of his earnings he
accumulated! enough to subscribe $4,000 to
the British war loan patriotism at four per
cent.
Harry has few homely maxims on drift
that have been widely circulated during the
war period, in the hope that his followers
would profit thereby. "Mither wadna
waste says Harry, "and would be disgra-
cling her memory if l wasted" Here are
some of his rules:
l. Behave toward your purse as you
would to your best frind.
2. View the reckless spending of money
as criminal and shun the company of reck-
less spender.
3. Dress neatly but not lavishly. A
bank pays higher rate of interest than
your back.
4. Take your amusements judiciously.
You will enjoy them better.
S. Don't throw away the Crusts-eat them
They are as nourshing as beef
E. 1t is more exhilarating to feel money
in your pocket than beer in your stomach
7. Remember it only takes twenty shil-
lings to make pound, and twelve pennies
make shilling.
8. You can sleep better after hard
days work than after hard days idleness.
9. Get good value from your tradesmen.
They watch out that they get good money
from you.
10. A bank book makes good reading
better than some novels.

The Man Who SulkS

The world has little pity and few favors to
be spent
For the man who is disgruntled and sits sui
king in his tent,
If your ventures have not prospered do not
idly curse your luck,
But get out and make the people wonder at
your manly pluck.
Men will never come to coax you, if you
hang back in despair,
To have courage and keep trying to put off
the frown you wear;
They Will not arrange new chances to re-
place the one you lose,
While you haunt gloomy corner clinging
to a case of blues.
They are foolishly self-cheated who keep
harping on their woes
After they have been defeated, thinking all
men are their foes,
And the Praise the world is willing to be-
stow is never meant
For the man who is disgruntled and sits
sulking in his tent.

From our exchanges
Why Languages Differ

An interesting contribution to the deus
sion of universal language is offered by
the Montreal Family Herald.
The adoption of a universal language,
purely spoken by all who use it, is made
difficult by the fact that there are physical
differences of an important character between
the different races. The vocal organs are
SO unlike in different peoples that langu-
age originally uniform would soon change
in the mouths of the various nations, until
they could no longer understand one
another. If the Italian language could be
taught to all Chinese or Russias it would
change SO rapidly that in few years no
one would recognize it as Italian. One
theory to account for this fact is that the
people in the chilly North speek with the
lips nearly closed, and that those who live
In milder climates give free articulation by
opening the mouth. --Ex.
