ESSENTIALS OF THRIFT
February Sd the Opportunity For It's
Application

The real idea behind the selection of
SDne particular day of the year, and
eaectfng 1t to be Thrift Day, is to focus
the thought of our over one hundred
million people upon administration
real, literal, practical ways and means
for conserving the many wastes in liv-
ing
The idea of thrift is one which all
will agree is wholly worthy; and more
particularly because of the present
high cost of living. This is not so
creditable, being offered under COM
pulsion of necessity, as would be the
result of calm self-analysis, self-ar-
raignment and self-sentence to a
stricted observance of the law of self
betterment. Nevertheless, since the
price of food has gone so high, the
popular with many
The one point where most considera-
fion is needed in starting thrift habit
is in concentrating on those things |
which are admittedly open for i'm
provement, but remain as a sort of
promise to ourselves and are put off |
In their performance from time to
time. This is illustrated in the waste
of time. This applies, of course to idle
useless occasions which may or may
mot be gratifying in sense, but re-
suit in nothing but a regret for the
time involved.
This economy could be still further
carried on with great effect wherein
time is involved in the performance of
our duties. There is hardly life but
where there is much lost and repeated

The first consignment of the new
quarters to be received in Moscow
was placed in circulation by the First
National bank today. The new coins
are the only ones of the new issues
which are marked 1917; the half dol

new dollar is shortly to make its APP
pearance. On the diverse of the quar-

motion which could be eliminated to a
created for improvement in place of
depletion. And right here it is a very
good thing to consider, that conserv-
| ing time is the same thing as length
ening life. 1t not only makes life
more enjoyable, but it adds to the time
for the enjoyment
There are so many other things,
little and big, which could be better
adjusted and taken care of, the net re-
suit of which would be to conserve
time. These are mostly self-evident
and do not require any elaborate
teaching other than that which each of
us now hasa good conscience. If
respect will be shown for the teacher,
and the lesson well-learned, it is only
matter of putting into action the
practice.
If man is wise he is thrifty; and
if thrifty, good; and he benefits all
other lives which in way come with
in the circle of his Influence. The
thrift practiced by him benefits all.
This same spirit of mutual good should |
proceed from each and the self cul-
ture would be thorough. And it does
for thrift is contagious.
A day which calls special attention
10 such an important matter as thrift
can most assuredly be celebrated
Fundamentally. The mission of
Thrift Day, February 3rd, is to mutual

ARMOUR SAYS U. S.
WILL SUFFER HUNGER

CHICAGO, April 10. - ]. Odgen
Armour, the packer, predicts a situa-
lion regarding food supplies quite as
serious as confronts any European
aation will be the portion of the
United States, before the end of the
year, unless the government takes i'm
mediate steps to control the food sup
ply. He holds that meatless days
will he one of the necessities in meet
ing the shortage.
Mr.. Armour advocates federal guar
antee to the farmers of dollar and a
half bushel for wheat which will
insure increased crops, meatless days,
government supervision of fertilizers
and prices. strict household economies
and the cultivation of every available
acre.
"Food manufacturers can easily
double their output says Mr.. Ar
mour, "and people must be awakened

CORN AS A MAJOR GENERAL
WASHINGTON. Anr;, N co,..

WASHINGTON, April 10. - Corn
meal is cheap and valuable food
stuff which is not in as general use
in the American home as it ought Ia
be. A pound of dry cornmenal pro
vides about five times as much en-
ergy and tissue building protein as
does pound of raw potatoes. Just
now a pound of cornmeal costs Ia to
l-6 as much.
When potatoes are scarce or ex-
pensive, cornmeal makes AN excellent
substitute. 1t is not however, a per
feet substitute for potatoes because.
as it is prepared by modern milling
methods, it contains fewer minerals
and other valuable substances. So
when cornmeal is substituted, balance
it with another vegetable, salad or
fruit.
Cornmeal mush for breakfast or
supper is u standard and palatabl,.
dish. Fried, it is an excellent sub
stitute for fried potatoes. There arc
dozens of cornmeal dishes in addition
to the various varieties of cornbread
v hat is known in the north as Bos.
ton Brown is composed of about l-2
rye meal and l-2 corn meal. Poletna is
another cornmeal dish extremely
popular thruout Southern Europe and
in certain parts of the United States.
Tamales is another corn dish in high
favor when properly made.
