1he following has just been re-
ceived direct from the Council of
National Defense and the Advisory
Committee Of the Council at Wash
ington:
Thrift AMI Economy.
The Council OF National Defense
and the Advisory Commission OF the
Council believe that a concerted effort
for economy by the people of the ma
tiOn will not only go far toward pay
ing Americas expense i'm the war,
but will also reduce consumption of
raw and manufactured materials es-
sential to the conduct of the war.
The Council urges all to refrain
from unnecessary expenditures of ev-
cry kind, and to bear constantly in
mind that only one thing is now of
real Importance, and that is the win
ming of the war.
me nations resources in man-pOw-
er money, transportation, food stuffs,
raw materials and fuel have already
been subjected to heavy strain, and
it is the clear duty of every citizen to
guard against increasing this strain
by a single wasteful act.
1t is most creditable for everyone
IMAM and woman, boy and gir,-to
be economical i'm dress food and man
ner of living. Every evidence of help
full self-denial on the part of all i'm a
| time like this is most commendable
This war is more than a conflict
between armies; it is contest in
which every man, woman and child
can and should render real assistance.
Thrift and economy are not only a
patriotic privilege, they are a duty
