Changes in W. S. S.

For the purpose Of centralizing
the administration of the two
great financial factors of the
war, the administration of the
War-Savings movement has been
transferred from the National
War-Savings Committee to the
Federal Reserve banks, which
institutions control the Liberty
Loan work. According to the
official announcement, this
change will not affect the War
Savings organizations built up in
the several states or alter the
general plan of the movement.

Order of Army Prohibiting Cor
respondence Between Soldiers
and Persons With Whom They
are Not Acquainted.

Soldiers and sailors have been
ordered by the War Department
not to correspond with soldiers
and persons with whom they are
unacquainted. The Red Cross
has been asked to notify all
Home Service sections, which
handle correspondence in many
cases for relatives and friends of
soldiers, to see that they strictly
follow the ruling.
Here is the War Department
order in part:
"The danger Of inadvertently
communicating valuable military
information to the enemy and
the necessity of closing all gates
against enemy propaganda, make
it necessary that the strictest at
tention be paid to the correspond
ence of both officers and enlisted
men. Efforts are constantly be-
ing made by strangers to find
soldiers with whom they may
correspond, in most cases in
nocently enough, but the oppor-
tunity which might be offered to
wholesale propaganda in the
Army by well-organized groups
of enemy sympathizers is
obvious.

LOCATES 10
STREET CARS

Commissioner Atkins has locat-
ed 10 street cars in Minneapolis
that can he purchased for the Ia
coma municipal railway, and he
suggested to the city council
Wednesday that the new council
men be given an opportunity at
once to inspect them.
I'VE need more cars for the city
line, and these 10 are the only
ones | have been able to find for
sale in the United States" said At
kins.
81 believe that the incomin :
commissioner of public works
should be authorized to send
someone to Minneapolis at once
and tie up the bargain if he finds
the cars are what we need"
But we don't know who will
be the next commissioner of pub
lie works, and we cant authorize
an outsider to buy any cars, any
way objected Gronen.
The council decided to postpone
action for a day, and reach some
plan by which the city can get
first option on the cars. Ten new
street cars would put the city line
in good condition, Atkins said.
The cars are almost as large as
the T. r. & p. cars on the Point
Defiance line, and can be bought
for $500 each. Atkins said.

Set His Standard Hioh.

One big trouble in this world Is that
we do not set our standards high
enough. We content ourselves with
little performances, and do not pick
our critic with care. We suit our
selves.
All this cannot be said about a GER
tain little boy in this town, who got
a big blackboard and plenty of crayon
for Christmas. Whatever the ability
of that embryo artist may be, certain
ly his ambition is boundless.
He went to Sunday school, and
while there was much impressed, as
usual, with the pictures of Biblical
characters shown him.
That afternoon he stood before his
new blackboard and meditated deep
and long.
Then he turned to his mother and
said:

Clarice of the friendship that had
sprung up between her and Mr.. Har-
row, and with infinite care sounded
her regarding him and so found out
how the ground lay.
Once Clarice, with an attempt at
seeming casual, asked Nancy what
sort of husband she thought Mr..
Harrow would make.
Il could be his stenographer all my
life and enjoy it," explained Nancy,
but l could never endure him as a
husband. But with a girl like you, it
would be different. You would col
lapse after a day in his office; but with
all the little feminine witcheries to
fall back on you, or girl like you,

know, and never in a lifetime let their
husbands know what meek, tame
hearts they have"
Nancy and Clarice thus discussed
Mr.. Harrow over the chocolate cups
one day at luncheon, late in December,
when Clarice had gone downtown for
Christmas shopping.
That afternoon Harrow gave the
switchboard operator gruff orders to
the effect that he was "too busy to be
disturbed" and then sat at his desk,
with no one but Nancy sharing his
solitude, looking blankly into space for
a full hour, his head bent and his arms
akimbo. He started to his feet when
he reused himself and paced the floor
impatiently.

Ben FrankIin's Simple Diet.

1t is amusing to read how Ben
Franklin thrived on a biscuit, or a
slice of bread, a handful of raisins, or
a tart from the pastry cook and a
glass of water, varied at times by
boiled rice or potato, or haSty pud-
ding of his own making. Upon this
fare grew Americas greatest states
man and the worlds greatest philoso-
pher. The rich and ambitious youth
of these days would scorn such diet,
holding that 1t was the eating that
made the man. But Benjamin not
only saved time and money by his new
diet, but as he says: 81 made greater
progress from that greater clearness
Of head and quicker apprehension
which generally attended temperance
in eating and drinking" This abstemi-
Gus life did not seem to detract from
his health, but rather contributed to his
longevity, for he lived to be eighty
four years old.

Clarice Wardham and Nancy Smith
had gone through high school together
and their friendship was of the sort
that could not be altered, even when
Nancy went to business school and
later took stenographer's position in
a business office. and Clarice, through
her fathers acquired fortune, became
one of the most sought after young
women in what chose to be called, and
was called Society, with a capital S.
Clarice did not give Nancy her old
dresses, nor did she try to persuade
her to attend the parties she gave, to
which only folk with very much more
money to spend than Nancy had were
invited. When she asked Nancy TO her
house il was either to enjoy her alone
or with a few of the old friends with
whom Nancy could be most at her
ease. Thus Nancy was never made
conscious of the fact that fortune had
dealt less kindly with her than it had
with Clarice. if indeed it really had

was not in the least because she was
ashamed of her association, but be-
cause She liked the idea of having q
means of seeing Mr.. Harrow from an
other angle than that of society and
country club activities without his
knowing it. Clarice, truth to say, was
drawn to Harrow almost as soon as he
was to her. for there was something
about this rather rough strange mix
ture of a man that charmed women
quite as much as if he had been most
courteous and courtly. Sometimes he
seemed the broadcast of men in his
large grasp of events that Clarice dis
cussed with him, and sometimes the
narrOWeSt in his point of view, that
seemed to see only his own business
interests. Sometimes he seemed the
most generous and unselfish, and then

perhaps not strange that she suspected
