Winslow quotes from letter by DR.
Anna Howard Shaw, chairman of the
Woman's committee, Council of Ma
tionai Defense, as follows:
Children Patriotic, She Says.
My experience with children since
the beginning of the war has revealed
the existence Of deep and even pas
sionate patriotism, which longs to man
nest Itself in service and sacrifice; and
there could be no greater use made of
this Christmas time than to teach these
little ones the sublime lesson Of the
wonderful joy of giving, which is far
greater than that of receiving. Instead
of dwelling upon the thought OF gifts
to be received, we should instil into
this season a time when they can serve
their country and its allies and aid in
the successful winning of world peace
by uniting with their parents In un-
selhshly bestowing upon others the
gifts Cor their equivalent) which In
times of peace they have themselves
received.
Orphan children, suffering from
hunger and cold, who are helpless and
homeless in our own and foreign lands,
are calling to us for this sacrifice for
love of Him. who said: Inasmuch as
We have done II unto the least of these,
We have done it unto me-
Our children, know, win respond
to this appeal, which is made not only
for the sake Of those who may be made
glad through this sacrifice. but for their
own sake.

A CHANCE FOR REFORM.

Il A day or so ago It was announced ut
n meeting OF the congregation of the
Fifth Avenue Baptist church Of New
York. that John u. Rockefeller had
promised to contribute fifty per cent
OF any amount subscribed by other
members toward a million dollar FUND
for the erection Of new church
| edifice
At the risk OF some hasty criticism
we register our strong disapproval Of
this plan. We believe that million
dollars can be put to n hotter use for
humanity. II seems incredible that
such a sym should be needed for the
building Of church even on Fifth
Avenue. II the location Is too expen-
sive the church should be built on
side street and the money saved made
fund for work in social service.
Our old friend. BILLY Sunday, has
dragged sinners to redemption at the
rate OF several thousand a week, but he
did not find 1t necessary to have a mil
lion dollar church for this work. A
big. cheap, wooden structure that will
keep out the rain and be large enough
for the audience is all that Mr. Sunday
requires.
The construction of costly church
edifices in general way should be
discouraged. Certainly at n time
when thrift Is the watchword and Is
likely to DO for some years to come,
the proposition OF Mr.. Rockefeller APP
pears to DO wanton extravaganza. 1t
Is matter Of surprise to find n man
Of Mr.. Rockefeller's well-known thrift
encouraging such movement. It
does not look like good business.
Mr.. Sunday. who has reduced the
saving Of souls to sound business
methods. might give good advice on
the financial side of this question to
even a man SO highly successful in
picking up the dollars as Mr.. Rookie
Teller.

Keep Business Going.

The necessity for economy. for in
stance. does not call for scrimping to
the point OF Gripping business; rather.
1t calls for thrifty plans for conserving
where there has been waste and for
greater production wherever this is
possible. This. the Post takes it. is
the purpose OF the plans which have
been announced by those whom the
administration has placed in the posi-
ton of directors of the preparedness
work which the country Is just now
called upon to perform. Local BUSH
ness should be strengthened as much
as possible. Where there Is waste it
should be checked. but no legitimate
expenditures, at this stage of proceed
lngs, should be hampered.-Butte Post

GEAR UP THE NATION.

The editor OF The Muscular has
been fairly deluged with letters and
kilograms urging him to use his influ-
ence with the senators and congress-
men Of Montana to fight features OF
the proposed new tax measure for
what is called injustice to certain i'm
portant interests.
All Of these requests come from i'm
portant industrial concerns In the east
which will be affected If this measure
becomes a law. There have been no
complaints from the Industries OF
Montana and the northwest.
It goes without saying that no tax
law. Just as no tariff law. will satisfy
everybody. There are certain fea-
lures OF this bin that may. and per-
haps will be changed. AS 1t Is n sub
| ject requiring expert knowledge and Is
In the hands Of those best equipped TO
| arrange II on an equitable basis. We
| are inclined to refrain from anything
| like specific criticism. Congress viii
never get anywhere with the bill II it
| yields to every complaint.
! This is a war in which the burden
Of taxation must fail upon everybody
to some degree and all should be pre-
pared for It. The thought occurs that
the better way now Is to concentrate
every ounce Of energy toward greater
production rather than to attempt to
side step the tax and SHIFT the burden
to other shoulders.
| A great revenue must be raised.
The easiest way to raise It Is to eN-
pand our business. to increase produc-
ton and to get the country to work on
it's toes. Every farmer. every en-
ployer. every salesman. clerk and en- .
ploye, indeed every worker no matter
what may be his station. should now
give his last ounce of energy to his
work. Speeding up process should be
something more than phrase.
That Is n way to ease the burden and
should prevail everywhere. The rich
employer might get up an hour earlier
In the morning and work On his lawr
so as to release his employe for tina,
period to do something else. HI
might take 4 few hours from his Sat
urday half holiday and do work tina
would give him as much physical ex,
ertion and prove more beneficial thar
that time spent on the golf links.
A good deal is said about the waste
of food; let us stop the waste of tim,
also. If time is money, as our oil
friend Ben Franklin said, let us get al
the value out OF 1t to be had.

copy of picture presumably lost.

his clients, a. well-known collector OF
early Italian art. 1t was entrusted to
an expert for cleaning. and the clean
ing off OF some apparently superfluous
paint revealed the existence Of another
picture underneath. and actually of the
same subject. When all the top paint
was taken off. there was revealed a re-
markable piece OF work which was inn
lmediately pronounced by experts the
unmistakable work OF Raphael; in fact.

been due to the direct effects which

pharmacists have long learned to

Since the outbreak of the world con-
