biblical Thrift.

The Scriptures give us many lessons
In thrift. Ezekiel warned the children
Of Israel that during the siege of Jeru-
salem they would have to be thrifty.
He said: Take thou also unto thee
wheat, and barley, and beans, and
lentiles, and millet, and titches. and
put them In enc vessel, and make thee
bread thereof. - Ezekiel iv: 8. The
Bible shows that Ezekiel ordered the
children of Israel to eat their meat
by weight, and even thus only 'from
time to time."-Thrift Magazine.

Japanese cenIuaal EtIuuatts.

When American people Judge the de-
gree of affection between a japanese
husband and wife by their conduct to
each other they make great mistake.
1t would be as bad form for a man TO
express approval of his wife or chill
uren as 1t would be for him to praise
any other part of himself. and every
wife takes pride in conducting her
self according TO the rigid rules Of
etiquette, which recognise dignity and
humility as the virtues that reflect
greatest glory ON the home OF which
abe IL mistress.

intends to tell him that his father was
on vessel that was torpedoed and
sunk. Mr.. Sawyer was reported miss

water by an American cruiser and In
time managed to get home. After word
came that he was saved the letter was

RoRRINe SOLDIERS AND r
 SAILORS OF WOOL.
Many Women Are Knitting for Them selves or Friends Not in Service.

Women who knit woolen sweaters for themselves and their civilian friends are robbing the soldiers and sailors of wool which they need in the trenches and on the wind swept seas, according to- an announcement made by the committee on woman's activi- ties of the Connecticut state council of defense. Al the request of the American, Red Cross. the committee is sending letters to sub committees throughout the state urging that steps be taken to stop this waste of wool and prevent wool shortage. , s
 The letter explains. that many wom- en, after knitting an article or two for the Red Cross or a soldier relative, knit sweaters mufflers and similar ar ticles for themselves or for friends other than soldiers and sailors. Each knitter who does this is helping to -ex- haust the existing supply of wool and the amount available for military clothing. Women who wish, to knit sweaters and similar garments for themselves are told in the. letter that they can knit them of silk, cotton, or some other wool substitute without ,de- priving the soldiers. The suggestions in regard to conserving the wool sup ply apply also to other knitted gar ments made of wool, and the public is urged to substitute cotton, silk cordu : roy or some other material for wool as far as possible.
