"Mr. Benham, you are the young man

High up on the slopes of Mount Mari veles, in the Philippine Islands, dwell the last remnants of an ancient and most mysterious race, the Negritos. or little negroes" Scientists differ hope lessly as to their origin and history, but the traveller who is fortunate enough to penetrate into their carefully hidden villages finds the quaint little people extremely interesting.
 Though disinclined to work, the Ne grito is indefatigable in the chase. He will hunt all day without eating any thing but the mango or banana that he seizes as he rushes by. If dogs are scarce for any reason women are pressed into service, and these go lop ing through the brush, yelping in imi, tation of the canines.
 Sometimes a beater will emerge from the brush carrying pig he has encOun tered and killed or, more important still, bringing news of the sighting of q python.

Ioorrots Dog Eaters,

During our trip through the Philip pines we visited the dog market, where the IgorrOtes bought and sold half starved canines with visions of great feast of the protruding ribs. The Igor rotes are about as much like the cultur- ed Filipinos as they are like cultured Americans or cultured Japanese. But the fact that the IgorrOtes eat dogs has done as much to prejudice us against the Filipinos as has the story that the Chinese eat rats to turn us against the we'll bred Chinese, who not only do not eat rats, but even have distaste for caviar and limburger. - Maynard Owen Williams in Christian Herald.

Shabby Coat Is Honor

Banker Urges All to Forego
Luxuries and Buy War
Savings Stamps

OMAHA. Dec. II. LuXuries should
be foregone during the war to a large
extent and the money Invested in waf
savings stamps or other government
securities. said Frank A. Nanderlip,
national director Of the war savings
campaign. in an address here tonight
"You all read in the papers, he
said. "a few days ago that thousands
OF soldiers are held back from begin
ming their training because the gov
eminent could not get overcoats for
them. Why. my friends, ought not a
shabby oyercoat in these times be A
badge Of honor?
Instead Of buying that new over
coat, buy war savings stamps, and
make the old one do a little longer.
By doing this you have done three dis
tinct services 10 the nation. You
have left the material untouched, so
that there is somewhere material for
one more ovcrcoat for soldier lad.
You have left labor free TO be used
by the government in making the SOL
dier's coat. You have placed the money
i'm the governments hands to pay FOR
the soldiers coat. And you have
saved up money that you did not really
need to spend as insurance against a
rainy day."
