SEVEN REASONS FOR SAVING

Save for your country's sake, be-
cause it is now spending millions day
and must find most of the money oui
of savings.
Save for your own sake, because
work and wages are plentiful, and, as
prices are high now, dollar will buy
more after the war. %
Save, because when you spend you
make other people work for you, and
the work of everyone now is needed
to win the war.
Save, because by saving you make
things cheaper for everyone, especially
those who are poorer than you.
Save, because by going without you
relieve the strain on ships, docks and
railways, and make transportatiaa
cheaper and quicker.
Save, because by saving you set an
example that makes it easier for the
next man to save. A saving nation is
an earning nation. -
Save, because every time you save
you help twice, first when you don't
spend and again when you lend to the
nation.-The Commonwealth.

RED CROSS NOTES

We American people are highly
resolved to keep the glow in Old
Glory" and win this war. The way
to bring about that consummation is
for every man, woman and child to
help at home. Here is what even a
little child can do: Save tin foil and
nut bulls and turn them in at Red
Cross headquarters. Does that sound
trivial to you? We will show you the
Importance of it. The tin foil is col
lected by the Red Cross and sold for
about thirty-fve cents pound. With
all of the country saving it that is
quite . source of revenue for the Red
Cross. Then the fruit stones and nut
hulls-even the children have hearo
about the gas masks. The carbon
that is put in the bags of these gas
masks is that left when fruit stones
and unit hulls have been burned. The
charcoal left after these shells are
burned is urgently demanded Do
not burn the hulls. Send them in to
headquarters and they will be shipped
away.
During the past week the county Red
Cross has had its hands full of home
work. An emergency committee for
the influenza situation was formed to
investigate and relieve as far as pussi-
bic the distress caused by the epidem-
ic Chairmen are at work in every
community in the county. All cases
where there is a shortage of someone
to nurse the sick, and where there is
reed of physician, also where there
is no one in the family we'll enough to
prepare the necessary food for the
sick, should be reported to these chair
men. Rev. Paul Williams has proved
an untiring and efficient chairman OF
this work in Brownsville.
Women workers at the headquar-
tiers work rooms last week laid aside
All other work and devoted themselves
to making masks to be used by the
doctors and nurses at the various army
environments while Nursing influenza
cases.
The Belgian box, filled by the gener-
Gus donations Of the people of the town
and county has been sent off. No one

DAINTINESS

Daintiness in excess, is of course, a
danger, a serious temptation to some
1t is to be carefully avoided when it
interferes with higher thoughts and
more important duties, when it dis
tracts attention altogether from the
soul to the surface, as it too easily may
do. Especially in these days we have
little time for daintiness, when the
intolerable hurry of the world sweeps
us away from bare necessities.
Yet even in these days the habit of
daintiness need not be lost, and should
not be. For it is the habit that counts,
and the conscious, artificial effort that
is dangerous and fatal. What we de-
light in is the instructive sense of what
is graceful and perfect, the little touch
that finishes and relieves and by its
restfulness really makes US better able
to deal with the great problems and

send that soldier overseas, clothed,

fare costs about $1,000 more, and con-
sequently the 700 men from Haywood

little touch in dress-the neat cuff,
the bright ribbon, the supporting
brooch; the little touch in household
arrangement-the table set with care,
the vase of wild flowers in a dark
corner. That SORT Of daintiness il not
a question of money, and it is quite
as often found in homes of limited
means as in those that are rich and
luxurious.
Women often feel that their dainti-
ness is wasted on men, and that they
are even bored by it. 1t is not so. Men
are sometimes inclined to scoff, epe-
cially if they see the means that bring
about the end. The gain is so delicate
and so intangible that they are likely
to think the labor that produces it ra-
Their thrown away. Nevertheless, they
appreciate the result. Let them go
from home that is dainty to one that
is not and they feel an obscure, indie

back again. Their lives are really
more worth living, their tempers more
serene, their work in all ways better
done, when they come from dainty
atmosphere than when they come from
tawdry and shiftless one.
We admit that daintiness is not a
yirtue, but grace. But souls are saw
