ST. CECILIA'S DAY
BY H. Addington Bruce

r EFT us have music in the home tonight or go
where we can hear some music. This is the
- festival day of st, Cecilia, patron saint OF
music.
Somewhere in Sicily this saint persisted, a
Christian martyr in the time of Marcus Aureius
Little is known about her history. Even the year
of her death is uncertain, being stated as between
176 and $50 A. D.
But it has come down through the centuries
that she notable among the early Christians
having praised God by instrumental as well
vocal music" Hence musicians everywhere hold
her in specially grateful remembrance.
Tonight all lovers of music may well JOIN III
celebrating her anniversary by a musical evening
Tonight also they may well unite in nationwide
effort to add to their number thousands who are
not yet lovers of music. ..-
For, unfortunately, there still are many who
do not permit music to have the place it should
hold in their lives.
They look upon it as mere means of enter
tainment agreeable luxury of no unusual merit
Actually, rightly viewed and used, music is an un-
failing source of power.
St. Cecilia, we may feel sure, profited greatly
from her devotional use of music Praising God
with music, she was able to draw from that music
strength, helping to sustain her in the ordeals or
her life among pagan fellow men,
We of today need the aid of music fully as
much it needed by this inspired woman of
the long ago.
great cloud is hanging the world, the
cloud of the war, forced on civilization by autocrats
cruel, more bloodthirsty, more rapacious than
the pagans of St. Cecilia's time.
Already these war-usting Huns have brought
death ana sorrow ana deSolauon TO mllllOnS OIL peO
pie. Sacrifice and effort colossal imposed by
the stern duty of saving mankind from the tyranny
they would enforce.
Every means that will give greater power for
this task of world redemption needs to be used to
the full. Music, say it emphatically, is such
means and an invaluable one. .-.. ..f
Make trial for yourself of music's springs of
power. ~.
You exhausted after day of patriotic
effort. Perhaps you not merely exhausted
but somewhat respondent. Exhaustion of itself
tends TO create feelings of dependency.
If, then, you have no means of producing mu-
sic in your own home, visit friend who has. Be
sure, though, to select friend who is a lover Of
real music, of the best there Is in music.
Close your eyes and listen to such music as
Gounods ave Maria" Verdis "ETi Tu,' the
Meditation from That's or the "Springtime
Commences" from Samson and Delilah"
You WILL warrant, feel invigorated, more con-
fident, much less respondent after you have lis
tened quietly to such music this.
Continue to hear good music through the days
that follow. Cultivate genuine love for It, There
by become better man, an ADLER worker for your
self, for those you love, and for your country's
holy

WHY no SAVE FOOD, AND HoW-saving Wheat
BY DR.. Ray Lyman Wilbur

value than bread made entirely Of wheat flour. 1t
is true that the resultant loaf may not be quite
so light or quite so large. But 1t is equally true
that many people like this sort Of bread made with
mixed cereals better than they did the all-wheat
kind they have been used to.
Only the other day woman who is an accom-
plished housekeeper said to me: Il never dream
ed what delicious bread some of these mixtures
will make Fred says Erred being her husband)
go back to the sort of white bread we've always
eaten before"
This testimony the part Of woman may
set others to anticipating the bread recipes which
will give in another article.
1t is not merely in the mixing of the loaf of
bread that wheat can be saved Another way is
to substitute some other cereal the table at a
given, meal. Quite aside from what food experts
have to say about the amount of cereals that the
human system needs, it is indisputable that the
appetite only Graves so much Of one sort of food.
If your family is eating rolls mullins made
from corn oats, rye, barley, mixed cereals they
not going to be so keen for wheat bread The
is true If they have breakfast food hot
cakes (or, for that matter, nearly anything) made
from buckwheat, rice, hominy, corn, or oats. II
you don't believe this, make test of 1t in your
own home. See whether your household consumes
much wheat in month when they given
an abundance of other cereals in a variety of
forms and DISCUSSES. If they do not, you have def
nitely determined way to save wheat for the
allies. --.-- .-t
And wheat they must have, out of the surplus
with which this nation easily accumulate for
them, if only each person who loves his country
will do his Cor herr individual share For It must
be forgotten that helping the allies does
mean helping only them. 1t serving this
country-its ideals and its future

TREASON OF THOUGHT
BY DR.. Frank Crane

The United States is fortunate, in one respect,
at least, in having for it's elected chief in this

Because what a people need in such time
is not only some one who direct them in
military preparedness, organization Of manufac-
ture and transportation, and other matters of ma
tional housekeeping but someone who can give
them inspirational leadership.

ing armies is but the outward and visible sign
of an inward and spiritual" contest
1t is well to have able generals in the field

essential to have able spiritual leaders at home
who rally the populace to the unseen standards

and to repel the attack of savage hordes upon

where the issue is essentially Of opinion there
can be no freedom; one must take one side or
the other. And those who utter the ideas that
we were wrong to enter the war, that we are
Englands dupes, that we should make an imme
date peace, leaving the bloody Hun V1cto-

r OWADAYS you do not hear bread regularly
N referred to 'the staff Of life,' with the
accent and the "the." 1t is reflection
whatsoever the bread family to say that 1t is
now generally recognized only one of the many
staffs of life.
In fact, opinions in regard to bread have under
gone Transformation in recent years. To the An
text, suggested loaf of wheat bread. In America
bread meant white bread, except in the where
1t specially designated graham Bread"
Boston brown bread" Of something of the sort.
1t is, of course, entirely arbitrary distinc-
tion that bread should ever come to be thought
of containing other cereal than wheat. And
in sense the has done, and is doing, this
country favor in forever destroying that false
notion. 1t Is just reasonable to say that q
pine it Is to believe that that edible structure
known as a loaf Of bread must contain no cereal
but wheat from its foundation to its well-browned
roof
Food Is good food to just that degree that 1t
is pleasing to the taste and beneficial to the body.
I feel sure that no .one would deny this general,
fundamental law. And this is just true of bread
it is of anything else-plum pudding, angel
cake or corned beef hash
SO when any one, whether 1t be the United
States food administrator your next-door neigh
Dor, advises you to substitute something else for
one-quarter of the white flour you are using in
bread, that is no reason for you to groan inward
ly. 1t does not mean that your of taste is
to be offended your body only partially nour-
ished 1t is not the signal for you to nerve your
self to endure dietetic martyrdom. Not bit

or barley will have as great, or even greater food

War Saving Certificates.

The new plan of the treasury department for
raising supplementary revenue by means of
the sale of thrift stamps and savings stamps,
continues attract the attention of nanciers and
the public. Early in December 1t is thought the
new form of war help and war saving will be put
into operation, with all likelihood of its imme-
date success. 1t has the commentator of all
authorities and students of monetary affairs. 1t
differs from the Liberty loans in that it will be
continual source of revenue, subscriptions under
it not being confined to definite periods. Also it
will attract money from persons of very limited
financial resources.
The general plan contemplates the sale of the
thrift stamps at twenty-five cents each and of the
saving stamps at $412. Interest will be at four
per cent compounded quarterly. The stamps
through the war saving certificates that are to be
issued upon them will be redeemable in five years.
Commenting this revenue-raising method,
the bulletin issued by the Mechanics and Metals
National bank of New York says:
1t is not at all impossible that if the
tifcate plan be success-and there is every
reason to expect it will be-the big bond offer
ings by the Treasury will be splenddly sup
plemented in the future. Financing of this
kind cannot, Of course, carry along the war in
it's entirety, but bridge between long-term
loans it should have in the United
States through reaching the savings of peo-
pie who could never be reached with bonds.
The plan is not in any respect new expedient
in finance; it has been extensively and
effectively applied in France and, in Great
Britain, has been popular that it is
being carried on in a and more ambitious
form. In our own case there is at least pos
sbility that the experiment will be so
ccQsful that the general machinery of
finance through government credits will be
vised to the new circumstances.
To meet the demands of worldwide war,
this country was compelled to adopt measures to
which it heretofore a stranger. AS the struggle
progresses. however. the government through the
experience it acquires is moving with more quick
and more precision. The adoption of this, its
latest measure, indicates accurate realization
of yet untouched resources and sure means of
reaching them.
