PROPHESYING THE END Of THE VAR
by FREDERIC j. HhSKts

WASHINGTON. D. c.. Juno 9.-I,al-
ians are now much Interested in an
ancient prophecy concerning the end
OF tho war. which has recently been
resurrected by the director of the civic
museum ut Como. The prophecy Is ono
OF Il number made by an astronomer
and prophet Of the seventeenth cen
fury who was famous for his ~uncnnny
perception and accuracy. A great deal
OF Interpretation by modern astron-
omers has been required to discover it's
exact meaning, but everybod is
pleased and delighted with the re-
suit.
The war is to end on August os Of
inns year. according to the best inter

wrapped up In strange allegorical die

This prophecy. OF course. comedies

Little Talks on Thrift
BY =. W. S1RtrS,
President American Socicty for
Thrift.

1T is not the aim of thrift nor the
duty of men to acquire millions.
boarding millions is avarice. not
thrift"
This biz OF philosophy. uttered some
time & by Andrew Carnegie. can well
be applied 10 American life a, the pres
cnt time. Lack of "a proper under
standing of thrift has been rcsponsi-
BILE for a great deal OF harm in Amer
lea this spring and summer.
This has been due TO false economy.
but people arc rapidly getting around
to the viewpoint II a boarding and in.
discriminate parsimony arc a long way
from real thrift.
What we all must learn is 10 elimi-
nate waste. There is a great deal OF
difference between waste and sensible
spending. The most r~eprehensible form
of waste. of course. at the present time
is in the matter of food. Secretary
Houston has said that if only a single
ounce Of edible food. on the average.
is allowcd to spoil %. TO be thrown
away in each OF our 20. oOo. 600 homes.
over 1900. 600 pounds of material
would he wasted each day. This would
be at tho rate of 464. 200. 900 pounds of
food a year. Think of the millions o.:
acres of land and the thousands OF
people necessary to produce this vast
amount of food,
1t would be a very good idea for
every American home to-day TO adopt
the slogan, Save an ounce of food a
day"
This is a little thing to do. It really
requires no amount of selfsacritlce.
On the other hand. we have all been
eating a little too much.
Cutting down our %rationS "a trife will
be good for our health.
Save an ounce Of food a day"
let every American home do this,
and we will have gone a long way to-
ward the solution of our food problem.
At this time of the year every house
hold should take advantage OF the fact
tina vegetables constitute a compare
lively cheap food.
In soup particularly 1t should not be
forgotten that vegetables are neces-
sary for keeping the body in health.
because they are relatively rich in min
eral matter and mild vegetable acid and
contain recently discovered substances
without which the body processes seem
not to be carried OH properly. Since
soups offer an excellent way of utiliz-
ing odds and ends Of vegetables, and
especially left-overs and parts which
otherwise would be wasted. the use of
vegetable cup is often a real economy.
