Little Talks on Thrift
BY =. w. STRAUS,
Tres. American Society for Thrift.

The women Of America can weld
a powerful patriotic influence in the
present crisis. War and waste make
all the more necessary the practice
of thrift The housewife largely con-
trolls the home budget and cxpendi-
lures and the women of the United
States can save millions Of dollars for
the common good. We arc wasting
500, 900 a year in our Kitchens
alone
In England and Germany not foot
Of ground is going to waste. In Aus
tria- Hungary and Italy, too. tho con-
dtions arc much the same. Thrift
comes as the stern necessity OF war.
md in this respect the women of the
United states will play more i'm
portant part than will the men.
our neighbor, Canada. has learned
I'm the stress OF war times ways Of
thrift. of utilizing and conserving
every resource and of renouncing its
little Iuxuries chcerfully. that Will not
be forgotten through generations OF
peace and prosperity.
Women throughout the Dominion are
wearing their old gowns, 40 that the
the more recent fashions. They are
learning how to cook and buy more
economically. And this matter Of
cooking and buying is now coming to
be ii nation wide concern.
4 thrift campaign has been launch cd
in Toronto and various thrift a.ntels
have been established in schools and
churches throughout the city. Mrs.
Caroline Burns is demonstrating eco
nomical cooking at ten of these CEN
ters.
At the opening of the first one. Mrs.
Burns said: Thrift and economy are
not the penalty but the privilege OF
patriotism. Waste Is now a crime II
:, man does not succeed in business. he
looks for the leaks. They come from
and ignorance in buying. Bad buying
Is the root of extravaganza, just a5
bad cooking leads to waste, The need
for more business like housck eepinE
and thrift is imperative. for the saving
OF our dollars now means the saving
Of our mems lives. To the women is
falling the conservation of the nations
food supply and the seeing TO IL that
money thus saved goes into the war
loans"
Theodore Roosevelt recently sound
ed n national warning when he said
"Extravagancc rots character: train
youth away from II. On tho other
hand, the habit Of saving money, while
it stifens the Will. also briShtcns tho
energies. IL you would be sure that
you are beginning right, begin to save.

make opportunities for himself. But

disputed. but as a matter OF fact both Mr.
Hageman and Mephisto are right. and the
reason Is not hard to find.
Real singing voices. properly trained. are
scarce. Fine voices are rare. and If their
possessors have devoted the timo and effort
necessary to their schooling, they have had
little time to study sheer music. Moreover,
given voice and voice training, the singer
can find dozens Of competent coaches who
can drill him in special songs oratorios or
operas. In other words, the voice itself.
coupled with its training, is enough Of must
cal equipment to satisfy most singers, and
their public.
And all this is especially true Of tenors.
Theirs is the rarest of all voices; wherefore
1t is always in demand. For every good
tenor voice. there are scores Of good baritones
and basses. Therefore for low-voiced man
TO succeed he must be more than good
voice. while the tenor need only be tenor
The whole thing narrows down TO a question
OF supply and demand.

Food Conservation

ONLY great emergency would justify the

'he emergency exists. The United States has
not only Its own needs to think Of, but the
needs of the nations with which II is Joined
