clared by Mr.. Straus to be imperative.
In a resolution prepared by Mr.. Straus
and fayorably acted upon by the
council. these facts were presented:
That the world war has precipitated
unprecedented economic conditions in
this country. calling for immediate
practice of intelligent constructive
thrift. because of the waste OF man
power and the destruction of physical
resources abroad.
That every sign points unquestion.
ably 10 the fact that American people
must in the future eliminate wassS
OF every character.
That President Wilson devoted his
first message after the declaration of
war TO the subject of thrift.
That it is only through the medium
of the school teacher that future citi-
zens can make of thrift a fundamen-
tai principle OF existence.
1t was resolved that special COM
mittee take immediate action toward
introducing the study of thrift in the
schools. thus making America first of
all nations to take this decisive step
forward in constructive education.

trouble The man had not been locked
M long however, when his heart &C
lion began to fail. Jailer Ed Rice, see
ing the mans condition, sent for a
physician. and Or. J. 4. Campbell re-
spondcd and gave medical attention 10
the prisoner, but medical aid could not
revive the pickering fame Of life, and
Elliott died at $50.
Coroner r. G.. Hobbs was called to
The Jail, and after making an investi-
cation of the case, rendered a verdict
that Elliott came TO his death from
heart failure, superinduced by the use
Of alcohol.
