FALSE ECONOMY IS THE REAL MENACE

sound financial basis. The per capita
wealth of Americans today is greater
than ever before greater than that of
the people of any nation at any time in
the past or in the present.
whether the war ends tomorrow or
whether it lasts indefinitely this much
is certain: The United States, having
possession of approximately 40 per
cent of the worlds supply Of gold, the
greatest natural resources and geo.
graphical isolation, is certain to suf-
fer less than any other nation in the
war or in the whole world.
'"The nation has been advised to
economic on food. Economy means
the intelligent use without waste; it
does not call for self-denial. Economy
was recommended to stop the waste Of
the $7OO,OOO,OOO worth Of food which
goes into the garbage pail each year.
The wave of patriotism sweeping over
the country should not seize upon par
simOnious economy as a means of ex-
preston. There is no need for people
to cease purchasing; there is need only
and waste. There is no reason what
ever for curtailment of the use Of
things ordinarily needed by people !;
there is need that everything be put
to use.
GAS patriots, it is our duty to stop
the wasteage Of food; as patriots it is
equally important that we do not stop
the ordinary purchasing on which the
business and the industry of the coun-
try are founded. Hysterical economy
is as much menace to the nation as is
prOdigal waste.
Keep Faith, Advice.
"Faith is the great need of the peO-
pie today-faith in Providence to lend
might to our right, faith in nature to
respond bountifully to the wonderful
efforts of our agriculturists to increase
the food supply to provide a surplus
for our allies, and faith in our govern
ment which has taken hold of the prob
lens before it in way that demon
strates it is deserving of our faith.
eff I were asked" concluded Mr.
Armour, ito give a message to the
American people-to the farmers, the
wage earners, the merchants, the man.
and all-it would be this:
''Be strong in your faith that nature
will reward the efforts being made to
produce big crops and cooperate with
our president, Woodrow Wilson, in his
efforts to keep the nation composed
and so organized as to most efficiently
prosecute war. Be confident and live
your normal lives, as far as possible.

FLEES CELL IN GUARDS GARB
Prisoner Beats Keeper InsensibIe at
Auburn, N. Y.-TraiIed to Barn;
Surrenders.

Auburn, N. Y.-Reynolds Forsbrey,
a notorious criminal, beat Keeper John
Belts fnsensible, dOnned his uniform
and escaped from the state prison the
other afternoon. He was serving nine
years for f1rst-degree assault, and
faced second term of 20 years or life
for murder in the second degree.
When Belts was found an hour after
the escape hundreds Of keepers, po-
lice and sheriff's deputies started
combing the surrounding country.
Forsbrey had the guards gun, and his
prison reputation indicated he would
put up stiff fight If found. He was
discovered several hours later in
barn and surrendered to two guards
without resistance.

one of Flechier's sermons, but gener-
ally he had the nervous, tired look of
a heart-wounded man.
When Captain Shaw was coming
home-if, as say, it was Shaw-rath-
er to the surprise of everybody they
made one of the Windward islands,
and lay off and on for nearly a week.
The boys said the officers we're sick
of salt junk, and meant to have tur-
tie soup before they came home. But
after several days the Warren came to
the same rendezvous; they exchanged
signals; she sent to Phillips and these
hOmeward-bOund men letters and pa
pers, and told them she was outward
bound, perhaps to the Mediterranean,
and took poor Nolan and his traps on
the boat back to try his second cruise.
He looked very blank when he was told
to get ready to join her. He had
known enough of the signs of the sky
to know that till that moment he was
going ''hOme." But this was a dis
tinct evidence of something he had not
thought of, perhaps, that there was no
going home for him, even to a prison.
And this was the first of some twenty
such transfers, which brought him
sooner or later into half our best YES
sells, but which kept him all his life
at least some hundred miles from the
country he had hoped he might never
hear of again.
It may have been on that second
cruise-it was once when he was up
the Mediterranean Mrs. Graft,
the celebrated Southern beauty of
those days, danced with him. They
had been lying long time in the Bay
Of Naples, and the officers were very
intimate in the English fleet, and there
had been great festivities, and our
men thought they must give a great
ball on board the ship. How they
ever did it On board the Warren I am
sure 1 do not know. Perhaps it was

asked to cooperate. Then clubs and
hotels and prominent individuals all
over the land were asked to ban the
potato and use their influence to keep
folks from eating old potatoes. The

the right kind of answers, too.
