FORMER GERMAN CONSUL
 NOW MAN WITHOUT HOME
Expelled From Philippines, Karl Zitel. man Finds Ports of Japan
 Closed to Him.

Washington, March 15.-Franz Karl Zitelman, former German consul gen eral to the Philippines, Guam and the Sula islands, is travelling back and forth over the Pacific ocean, unable to find hospitable shores upon which to land.
 Zitelman was expelled from Manila following the break ill diplomatic re- lations between the United States and Germany, and then sent on an Ameri- can army transport to Japan, en route to China. The Japanese authorities, however, declined to afford him safe conduct and he was forced to continue his journey to Honolulu.
 Honolulu, being an American har- bor. could not receive Zitelman and Ii was decided to send him back by the next boat direct to China. He will soon put into China to learn that dip lomatic relations between China and Germany also have been severed and that it will be impossible for rim to land there.

CHILDREN HATE
 PILLS, CAL0MfL E E
 AND CASTOR OIL
If Cross, Feverish, Constipated, Give California Syrup
 of Figs"

Look back at your childhood days. Remember the '"dose" mother insisted on-castor oil, calomel, cathartics. How you hated them, how you fought against taking them.
 With our children it's different. Mothers who cling to the old form of physic simply don't realize what they do. The children's revolt is we'll founded. Their tender little "insides' are injured by them.
 If your child's stomach, liver and bowels need cleansing, give only deli cious California Syrup of Figs" Its action is positive, but gentle. Millions of mothers keep this harmless "fruit laxative" handy; they know children love to take it; that it never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweet en the stomach, and that teaspoon full given today saves sick child to- morrow.
 Ask your druggist for 50-cent bot tie of California Syrup of Figs" which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown ups plainly on each bottle. Beware of commercials sold here. See that it is made by California Fig Ssyrup Company" Refuse any other kind with contempt.-Adv.

A. 0. U. w. BUILDING PLANS.

Little Rock, March 15.-The final plans have been accepted and the last of the contracts awarded for the 1O- story office building of the A. o. J. w., in course of construction in this city. It will be one of the most at- tractive buildings in the city, the architecture being modelled after that of the Woolworth building in New York. It will be of fireproof con- struction throughout, the exterior be- ing of glazed terra cotta and inn pervious brick, and the interior of hardwood, marble wainscoting and dust-proof monolithic floors. One of the striking features will be the sys- tenn for the furnishing to each floor drinking water that has been elec- trically and mechanically purified, filtered and cooled. The lodge room on the tenth floor will have the only cork tiling floor in the city, absolute ly noiseless.

FOES OF OLD HIGH COST.

American housewives have beel peering about for substitutes for foods costing more than they like to contemplate. Consequently adyices in the direction of satisfactory meals composed of material" lower in price than the usual table favorites, is eagerly seized upon.
 This search after mere calorics .,t lower cost is bound to be an import ant move in the direction of domestic efficiency. Women who never went to the trouble of ascertaining the why and the wherefore of food values, arc becoming near-exparts and regu- .lating their tables accordingly.

tions imposed upon us by the war abroad and thriftlessness at home. The pathetic aspect of the situation lies in the fact that those who are least responsible suffer most Today the admission is generally made that extravagant living is one of the be- setting sins of American life. The average American home wastes ex- eessively. Statisticians tell LIS that we waste eight billion dollars yearly in this country. Experts in such matters have figured out that 10 per cent of our food stuffs is wasted by the housekeepers in this country.
 Thrift consists, to great extent, in the saving of little things. Benjamin Franklin said, "The art cf getting rich consists very much in thrift. All men are not equally qualified for get ting money, but it is in the power of every one to practice this virtue

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT

and summer, might add two hundred million dollars to the national wealth each year. .
 An instance of the value of thrift in little things is furnished by the Interborough Rapid Transit Com pany, of New York, which secures an income of more than $8000 a year from the. sale of old newspapers left on the seats by subway passengers. One of our great railroad corpora tions requires that every nut and bolt be repaired and used again and the cotton waste used in wiping engines is cleansed and used again for pack ing journals.
 Thrift of time is just as essential as thrift in money, and saving the seconds is just as valuable as saving pennies. It would be a good idea if people would form the habit of keep ing strict account of what they do every minute of every day. They would soon be amazed at the amount of time they waste. It would be a good idea, merely as an enlightening experiment, if for no other reason, if everyone would provide himself with a time account book and keep a rec ord of every minute with the same accuracy that many persons keep record of each cent spent.
 Many years ago some very excel- lent advice on the subject of thrift was given by Sir Walter Raleigh. which we can we'll take to heart a: this time. He said, "Use thy youth SO that thou mayst have comfort to remember when it hath forsaken thee, and not sigh and grieve at the ac- coult thereof; use it as the spring time that soon departeth and wherein t''o11 oughtst to plan and SOW all pro- vision for long and happy life"

"The people of the United States have given less than 30 cents. per capita to the relief of Belgian refu- gees; the people of England, loaded down under the most staggering war debts in the history of the empire, have given far more than we have. At the same time, we have gorgel ourselves with untold riches as re- suit of the war. Is it any wonde' that the other nations of the worl1 look upon us as a nation. of money grubbers and as a nation without ;a soul? And the worst of it is what they say is true"
 Thus spoke a prominent Methodist divine.
 If we are "a nation without a soul what have the churches been doing They have been with us since the nation was founded, and if the only result has been that we have now arrived at low ebb of being without a soul, our churches nave been la mentably inefficient. For it is the business of our churches to put tn , soul into the nation-to inject those finer qualities of charity sympathy and love into us that invariably come to the surface in crisis if we have them.
 The Graphic does rot believe we arc nation without soul. We may have been delinquent toward Belgian relief, but this is true only because the nation has not seen the Belgian situation in the same light as the English, and the people as whole have not been mortified into action.' Besides, there are other stricken sections of the world war to which the British have contributed little, but toward which the United State has contributed much: Serbia, Poland, Armenia, for instance.
 The allies tell us ttat we haven'ee 2 soul because we didn't join in tho war in the first place; the Germans say t because we sell :hc allies am intuition. It ill behooves an Amer; can to agree with either of them.

STOCK MARKET

New York, May 19-A precipitate decline of 1-2 points in Denver & Rio Grande preferred to 20, repre- senting loss of 10 points in two days, was the noteworthy Incident of to- days early trading in stocks. The weakness of Denver resulted from yesterdays decision of the federal court imposing a penalty in excess of $s2 100000 against the road. Wes- tern Pacific, which is expected to benefit by the court ruling, rose al- most two points. In other QuartNrs of the list over night developments in Washington occasioned moderate re- straint On secondary offerings, however, leaders showed 'avera ge gains of a point on very light deal- ings
 Dullness was the outstanding fea- ture of the limited market. Prices held remarkably well in the main. the only marked exception being shown by the motor group, which added to yesterdays setback by two to four points. Railroads were firm. United States and affiliated inldustrials, as we'll as popular equipments and m1- nittons, were inclined to regain part of yesterdays late reversal. Final quotations were only slightly changed from the best The closing was strong. Sales approximated 250,0O0 shares. Bonds were heavy.
