yet know their strength, and the
more they undertake in the line OF
public defense, the more ability they
develop as rule. "Give till it
hurts" and Buy till it pinches" are
slogans growing out of war activit-
les and they are considered safe and
sane things to do. The very sacrifice
we make in these matters increase
our powers.
Many Misers Cured
A good many people who have
never schOoled themselves to give,
have been severely dealt with on
war drives land on being shown their
full duty or on being compelled to
put large sums of money into war
activities, have come out as If into
a new atmosphere, and found salts
faction they never felt before. 1t is
like a chick breaking out of it's shell,
having been hampered SO long by a
close environment q great freedom
Is felt when they launch out to do
big things without mincing. Many
man conducts his financial affairs
just like miser, and giving to the
Red Cross or other war activities, or
investing in liberty bonds in big
blocks, saves such man from the
hardening effect of boarding money.
Many people are misers in some
slight degree without knowing it,
and this war is breaking the bonds
that hold them down to sordid
things. You may be one Of those
persons, but If you are you will never
know it till something is done to
break the shell. When you receive
your notice of how much you are ex-
pected to invest in government bonds
to help support the war, just sit still
and consider that millions of your
fellow citizens are reading their no.
tees too, and that most of them are
just as much shocked at the figures
as you are. Most of them think, as
you do, that it is pretty high, and
many will think as you do, that
they can't meet it. Most of them
will think along the line Of IT will

years." then it will be time to re-
member that we are all lucky even
at that, and when we have won the
war a great burden will have been
lifted from the civilized world.

what is asked in such matters, feel

PREVENTING ACCIDENTS
ON THE STREETS

There comes a time in the develop
ment of every city and town, when
travel and traffic on the streets
take toll of human life before peo-
pie realize the Importance of act
ing by rule to make everybody safe.
The introduction of motor vehicles
OF great weight and capable Of high
speed has SUDDENLY increased the
danger, and the small town Of today
must abide by traffic rules more
rigidly than the larger city Of a de-
cade ago.
1t has not been long since people
stopped to talk in the streets or on
the crossings, without any regard to
vehicles, for they were horse-drawn.
and scarcely ever moved faster than
a walk. Five, six and eight years
ago this paper admonished people be-
fore the big gatherings for fairs and
celebrations, not to stand on the
street in the way of vehicles nor to
block the sidwalks to pedestrians,
but to step to the protecting curbs
or walls If they wanted to visit. We
kept up this agitation from year to
year until the habit was pretty we'll
broken up. Now there are new
dangers to be considered, and new
habits to be adopted, and we ask the
careful consideration and co-opera-
ton OF the whole public in conform
ing to the new rules to avoid the new
dangers.
l. In crossing the streets, go
square across.
2. Do not cross between the
corners, but keep between the white
lines marked for pedestrians.
3. Notice which way the cars are
coming from and watch that way.
When you pass the middle Of the
street, watch the other way for cars.
4. Do not cross the cross-streets

SOLDIERS FAVORITE HYMNS

Nebraska State Journal: Chaplain
Tiplady in his book on "The Soul
of the Soldier tells us what hymns
they like best and what serious songs
will be on their lips when the mo-
ment calls for something other than
the nonsense songs or the Songs OF
soldier philosophy" We read:
THE soldiers are extremely fond
of hymns in their services. You
cannot give them too many. Rock
of Ages Jesus Lover of Ny Soul,
Fight the Good Fight, There | $ a
Green Hill AT Even Ere the Sun
Was Set % God, Our Help in Ages
Past, and Eternal Father Strong

But there are two hymns which have
stood out above all others; they are
Abide With Me- and When | Sur
vey the Wondrous Cross
There is nothing written by the
hand of man which can compete with
these two in the blessing and
strength which they have brought to
our soldiers, especially during an
offensive when death has cast his
shadow over the hearts of all. Dur
ing the bitterest weeks in the
Somme fighting there was scarcely
a service in which we did not sing

WEAKER ON WEST
THAN REPORTED!

London, Aug. 2O.-It is believed
in Cologne that the Germans are
weaker on the western front thar
even the allies claim, says the Daily
Mails correspondent at The Hague
He does not vouch for other sec
tions of Germany, but gives this
resume of conditions in the Cologne
district:
All leaves from the front have
been reduced one-half.
Men are sent to the front from
the hospitals before completely fit.
Letters from the front have been
discontinued.
Deserters are being sent to the
front from punishment camps.
Wounded soldiers are hurried west
with bandages still in place.
The correspondent adds that it is
reported that the Germans have
stolen food parcels sent to French
prisoners in order to feed neutral la
borers who are on strike because Of
inadequate food.

BRITISH FOOD SLOGAN
EAT What You. Can Get and Be
Content" Maxim of English

New York Evening Post: EAT
what you can get" is the maxim OF
the good people of England now
Those who used to insist upon the
best brand of butter on their bread
are Loyalty content now to use "drip-
pings" or olcOmargarine; and BE
satisfied with what you get" is the
slogan of all true BritonS who have
heretofore been in the habit of fa-
voring their appetites bit. Says 4
writer:
When the housewife starts out on
her mornings shopping, she does
not carry in her head as aforetime
ready made schedule of the days
meals. She composcs her menus in
the store, according to the foods she
happens to find available that day.
These are difficult times not only
for the gourmet and the man of pc
culiar and exotic tastes, but even for
the hygienist who likes to observe
the due balance between the various
elements in a proper diet-the man,
| mean, who is careful to keep his
protcins, carbohydrates and so on,
in the proportions dictated by the
latest scientific authorities. The
amended to Eat what you can get,
and the addendum. "and what you
can't is. of course. altogether an
impossible counsel.
In 4 recent lecture at University
College. London, Miss f. Margaret
Hume. who is collaborating with DR..
Harriettc Chick at the Lister 1nsti-
tute in important work on this sub
jcct, gave some interesting informa-
ton as to the experience of the
troops in the east. In Gallipoli. where /
the rations consisted largely of white
bread and canned meat. there were
reported certain cases of beriberi. 1t |
war therefore recommended that the
bread served out to the forces in
should contain a con-

siderable percentage OF bran and

ime to benefit the forces engaged
