Housekeepers Can Save
$500, 900, 900 on Food


In these days when the high cost OF
living pinches nearly every home. no
waste should be overlooked. One of the
most fragrant and the most easily pre-
vented. is the destruction of food by
rats. One rat will often do a hundred
dollars damage Of food and property
in a SINCE night, and careful estimate
gives over s2O0.0O0.0oo as the value of
foodstuffs destroyed annually by these
pests.
The government at Washington is
preparing d campaign that should be
effective in killing the rats that are so
destructive both to lives and property,
and in the present scarcity of food, this
loss s:ust he prevented The most eff
ficient way to Kill the Rat" is by the
use Of Stearns' Paste, and thousands Of
dollars worth have been bought by the
government. Every housekeeper trou-
bled with rats. mice, reaches or water
bugs should buy small box of this re-
liable exterminator and stop further
loss Of food in her home.

The governments Of the British, do

statement in a speech at dinner given

are visiting England.
This is a war in which We engaged
the empire said the premier, when
we had no time to consult the dominions
as to policy, audit is perfectly true that
the policy which we adopted TO protect

the war.
made to enforce these treaties have
given you the undeniable right to a
voice in fashioning the policy which
may commit You, and for that reason
an imperial war cabinet is reality.
Another point in which you must
have a voice Is the settlement of the
conditions of peace. We have discussed
war aims and the conditions under
which we are prepared to make peace
at the war cabinet. We arrived at an
agreement on the subject last year with
the representatives of the dominions,
and We shall reconsider the same prob
lens in the light Of events which have
occurred since-and we shall reconsider
the whole of these problems, I have no
doubt. in the course Of the next few
weeks.
Canada and Australia and New
Zealand-yes. and Observation-Disclosures
have all contributed their share Of sac
rifice, and they are entitled to an equal
voice with the representatives Of these
islands-will determine the conditions
under which we are prepared to make
peace. Unless I am mistaken, we are
pretty we'll in agreement upon them.
There must be no hugger-mugger
peace. It must be q real peace. We
are not waging war for the sake Of kill

OF establishing just and durable peace
for the world. You cannot make peace
unless it is both just and likely to en-
dure.

hundreds of thousands, and have had

CARELESS of where he may be. whether
in hospital or with some organiza-
ton other than his own.
The pay book system is in use In
the British army. The sumof $3.50 a
month has been fixed as the minimum
which a soldier should have for his
personal wants every month and 1t
would be given to him on his demand
Each three or four months there
would be general accounting, at
which his total pay. his insurance and
other allotments. his liberty loan SUBJ

cast up. together with his monthly
drafts. The balance then due him
would Se put at his disposal.
The soldier would have the advan-
tage of being able ut all times and
under all circumstances to draw some
thing from any quartermaster in whose
district he might find himself,
The proposed system would
eliminate the present necessity of hav-
ing on hand each soldiers service
record whenever he draws any money.
The service record system. designed
for times Of peace. does not take into
account the frequent shifts which all
military men must be prepared for. In
many instances nowadays 1t works

transferred faster than their service
records can follow them and who con-

The proposed new system appeals as
specially advantageous for camps
where there are constantly large num-
bers of "casuals"-strays belonging To
dozens and scores Of organizations
waiting to join their outfits yet unable
to draw what money is due them until
