best. Eat plenty, and the best
you can afford then you will be
able to do your full share of the
work that is before us.
Napoleon wisely said That IAN
army travels on its stomach"
And it is equally true that we
work on our stomachs. A hum
CRY man or woman is incompe-
tent for any task.
And it will be all too easy for
us to develop false economy
in other lines. Miserliness and
boarding of means would be
most dangerous to business con-
ditions. Anything that checks
the normal volume of exchange
unsettles the markets and tends
to promote panics. In fact, this
is a large factor in all financial
panics. Money becomes a little
scarce, and we at once imagine
that if we turn loose the dollar
we have we will never see an
other. Millions of other people
imbibe the same idea. You know
the result.
The sensible economy and the
true patriotism is for each to
exert himself to keep the bust
ness Of the country normal. Buy
and sell, earn and spend, as only
by such a course can business
be kept heartily and OF the up
grade.
Be economical and prudent,
but DON'T be a miser.-Win-
throp News.

ON WITH THE DANCE.

It is night. The tables are
grouped about q skating rink of
artificial ice. Between rink and
diners is only a narrow race
track, where the guests may
dance. The music stops, the
dancers languidly rejoin their
tables. They are to gaze upon
a scene that will stir even their
jaded appetites.
The harsh lights fade and a
soft rose floods the ice. There
is a fanfare of trumpets and a
troop of girls in furs and bare
legs skate forward. Every line
and curve Of their lovely bodies
is revealed as they bend and
twist to the sinuous music they
follow. Like swallows they dart
here and there. In measured evo-
lutions they move in stately col
umn or madly whirl and turn
into the group which is the fl
male. They go.
They are but the prelude to
the premiere patineuse and her
partner. In swing strokes, side
by side, they sweep over the
CLASSY square. They waltz. They

an Eastern incense floats thru

New Haven. Conn. Jan. S.--Yale's
hopes for a good baseball team have
often scared high before the team
took the field in the spring. On paper
Yale has looked good, but there us
ually has been a reversal of form, and
the Yale nine has gone the way many

This year there is an abundance of
fine material left over from the wreck
of Captain Milburn's nine, together
with some good ball players from last
years freshman team. This year
Coach Billy Lauder will have the en-
