 This savings pledge gives the stay-at-homes an opportunity for service. We are asked to pledge ourselves to save and economize. to use labor and ma terials only as necessity de- mands, and to invest our savings in War Savings Stamps.
 The Government asks us to do this because the amount of labor and materials ir the country is limited; there is not enough of either to permit us to use it ip the same free way as we did in peace tunes and at the same time to leave enough in the markets for the use of the Government. It is purely a question of supply and demand. Ii we use the sup

Why The Savings Pledge?

During the present intensive War Savings campaign we are asked by the President and by Secretary McAdoo 10 pledge ourselves to save and with our savings to buy at definite times specific amount Of War Saw ing Stamps. Why should we be called upon to do this and why should we do il:
 We are called upon to doit be- cause. as President wilson says, this is war of nations. not of armies, and everyone in the land must do his share.

ply the Government Goes not have 1t for war needs. And the smaller the amount the Govern ment has for use the longer will the war last. That is the pri- mary reason for the savings campaign.
 But there is another side to the question. The Government asks us to pledge ourselves to save to help win the war. It does not ask us to give it. anything except our cooperation. In re- turn for our help we receive a Government security which pays us a good rate of interest. If we do as the Government asks, and as we should, this, then, will be the result: CD We shall buy only those necessary to maintain us in the best ol health and spirits; @ by refrain

iii. The Size of Our Prayers.
After Jacob had his-vision he made
covenant-prayer which is a curious
combination of selfish interest and
fine purpose. The Record says: "And
Jacob vowed VOW saving, If God
will be with me, and will keep me in
this way that | go, and will give me
bread to eat, and rainment to put on,
so that | come again to my fathers
house in peace, and Jehovah will be
my God, then this stone which

III. The Unfailing Helper.

In the loneliness of his journey,
with the sense of sin in his heart,
Jacob made discovery. He learned
that God was still with him! 1t
made him afraid. Men who sin are
always afraid-until they repent
and are forgiven. God is ever with
men to give them opportunity to re-
pent and to share his help. The pres
ence of God is cause Of fear to The
wicked, cause of comfort to those
who seek TO obey and serve him.
Have you experienced the cheer
which comes with the consciousness
of Gods presence? 1t transforms ev-
cry place and makes every duty
easier. DR.. S. d. Gordon tells an in
teresting story of the Southland
at was bright October day, and a
man was riding on horseback thru
bit of timber land in one of the
cotton States of the South. All at
once he came across bit of clear
ing in the trees, and in the clearing
an old cabin almost fallen to pieces.
In the doorway of the cabin an old
negress was standing. Her back was
bent nearly double with the years of
hard work, her face dried up and
her hair white; but her eyes were
as bright as two stars out of the
dark blue. And the man called out

Dear Mrs. Thompson: / have al
ways had a lot of friends, but no par
ticular boy friend until few months
ago. A certain boy began paying
special attention to me and later he
told me he loved me and asked me to
keep steady company with him. At
that time he was keeping company
with another girl, but he said he
would give her up for me. | went
with him just as he asked me to, and
now l have learned through girl
friend that he still goes to see the
other girl. / accused him of it and
he said he had been there, once to
return a ring he had of hers because
she wrote and asked him for it. My
girl friend says that she is sure he
has been there oftener. Which one
shall I believe? 1t would break my
heart Co think that the boy is de-
ceiving me. CLOVER.
There is great possibility that
your girl friend has been misin-
formed about the number of times
the boy has been to see the other
girl. Trust him until you have good
reason to doubt his word. Since he
said that he had gone to see the girl
once, am inclined to believe that he
told you the truth.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: have been
married for some time. My husband
owns one home-the one in which
we are now living with his father
and mother. He intends this to be
their home as long as they live. Now
he wants to buy an automobile. Dc
you think l would enjoy car or
would it be wiser to invest the money
in home for just US?
BRUNETTE.
You would certainly enjoy an auto
mobile, but l cannot say that you
would enjoy it more than a home
where the two of you could live by
yourselves. If you and your hus-
bands parents are congenial you
might be happier to get an automo-
bile. But if you are dissatisfied with
your home conditions as they are
now it would be better to invest your
money in another home.
Dear Mrs. Thompson. I am q
young girl of eighteen. When my
brother went to France he left me
his car and there is no one at home
to drive it but me. 1t has been asked
that the people who own cars adopt
the custom of being so patriotic as
to put this sign on the car:

"a lift for soldier or sailor as
far as l Co."
Do you think it would be all right
for me to adopt this plan?
BROWN EYES.
No, would not advise you to
adopt the plan. There are many
older people who can give lifts to
soldiers and sailors. 1t is not neces-
sary for an eighteen-year-old girl to
do so.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have an
awful habit of biting my finger nails.
l feel ashamed of this. Can you
please tell me what to do to break
myself of the habit? Is there any
thing to put on the nails to keep
them from breaking easily?
ANXIOUS.
Both grown persons and children
are sometimes aided in breaking the
habit of biting finger nails by dip
ping the finger tips into aloes.
Quassia is also good and applied in
the same way. Both are good be-
cause they are so bitter.
Finger nails can be kept from
breaking by rubbing them with sweet
oil or vaseline every night. The oil
makes the nails soft and velvety.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am twen-
ty years of age. l am going with
youth of about the same age. Some
other girls would like to go with
him and when we are out together
they do everything they can to make
him talk to them and leave me. am
of jealous disposition and when
they act so ny evening is spoiled.
What can 10 to overcome my
jealousy and keep the boy from GO
ing with some other girl instead of
me? ROSALIE.
You are crossing your bridge be-
fore you get to it. Since the boy is
going with you now you are very
unwise to trouble yourself with
thoughts of losing him. Jealousy is
the worst passion there is and never
brings happiness. Just be natural.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Will you
please tell me if tams are being
worn agai nthis fall? If not, what is
being worn? Is it too early to wear
them? ANOTHER READER.
Tams will be very popular this
fall and winter. Large brimmed
hats are also in vogue. Both are be-
| ing worn now.
