How to Save Butter.

"Carelessness about butter is q com. mon American sin against thrift. In nearly every family some member has the habit of taking huge helnings of butter which he or she does not use.
 The remedy is simple, Cut slices of the oblong pound of butter quarter of an inch thick, and cut each slice into four pieces. When the butter is served, each member of the family take one small piece at time. It sounds like small economy, but it is one which careful city housewives have nracticed for years.-Farm and Preside.

Rights of Small Nations.
 This war had it's roots in the dis
 regard of the rights of small nations
 and of nationalities which lacked the
 union and the force to make good their claim to determine their own allegi- ance and their own form of political
 life. Covenants must be entered into which will render such things impossi- ble for the future; and these cove nants must be backed by the united force of all the nations that love jus any cost
 If territorial settlements and the DO litical relations of great populations which have not the organized power to resist are determined by the con- tracts of the powerful governments which consider themselves most di- rectly affected. as Count von Hertling i proposes. why may not economic questions also? It has come about in | the altered world. in which we now 1 find ourselves, that justice and the

Must Be Unity OF Action.
The future peace OF the world rests
largely upon the unity Of purpose and
action between the United States and
Great Britain, the premier said;
y trust that these two mighty
democracies. united by strong ties Of
kinship, language and ideal, may in
spire each other with complete con-
fidence and sympathy in earnest and
unselfish purpose and action to COM
mand the worlds peace, and secure
safety and equality Of opportunity for
the smaller nationalities and for the
backward races Of the world. The
supreme result would, indeed, crown
all our sacrifice and would give US
much to hope from q wider league Of
nations"
Canadians Part Conspicuous.
Speaking OF the Canadians share in
the allied offensive, the premier said
they had won as conspicuous a vic
outbreak OF the war, hurting back the
Germans Is miles and capturing 10000
prisoners and $50 cannon
AS the mastery OF the air passes
more and more completely TO the
allies. the German people will realize,
through war carried 10 their own ter
ritories, the martyrdom TO which they
relentlessly subjected other nations.
II is equally the duty OF the allied
nations 10 purge Germany Of her mad
ness by unsparing use OF economic
pressure, until she has given con-
vinciug manifestation Of sanity and a
clean spirit. An assassin state must
