THE HOPE OF THE FUTURE

Thrift is the need of the present
the hope of the future. When peace
will again prevail and a million of
men will come back to civil life, a
great financial crisis will occur. With
the oversupply of labor, wages will
60 down, now, that the wages are
higher, is the time to save for the
future. No better way can be found
than the Thrift Stamp and w. S. S.
plan, devised to safeguard the small
est saving against the day of greater
need. Daily, we are growing to un-
derstand the meaning of this war and
feeling an increase of our response
bilites we are all learning to save.
We have unity of purpose that will
sweep US on to victory, but we must
not grow careless in our purpose, we
must consume only ihac which is nee
essary to maintain health and vigor
in order that the energies of our pro-
ducing power may be turned against
the foe. Conservation Of materials
necessary to our success must be-
come personal duty with every
right thinking American. Before
money is spent on ourselves we must
stop to think whether our country af-
ford to have us spend the money. Ev-
cry dollar saved helps twice, first
when we refrain from spending it for
non-essentials, and again, when we
lend it to the Nation. The little
"baby bond" is a great strong bond
between the people and the govern
ment uniting in one great effort, all
of the people, and bringing economy,
savings and prosperity into every
American home and furnishing,
equipping and sustaining the power
full nations allied for justice and free
dom on the other side.-Mrs. S. P.

TO THE PUBLIC

l noticed in last weeks issue Of the
Daily Review a communication.
published signed by Mr.. Y. F. Allain,
defending his actions in refusing to
contribute to the Red Cross through
the Committee.
| was one of the Committee that
called on Mr. Allan to solicit the con-
tribution and | wish to make the fol-
lowing statement:
The Committee, composed of Miss
Bridget Clements, Mr.. F. D. Winches-
ter, Mayor Shannon, Mr. J. L. Fisher
and myself solicited all the business
places on Front street and Railroad
Avenue We called on Mr. Allan and
asked for subscription from the
Belanger Drug Company for the Red
Gross Mr.. Winchester was the
spokesman. He insisted that sub
scription of $500 be made, stating
that he and Dr., deGravelles We're
stockholders in the company and they
wanted the company to make the
subscription. To all Of which Mr.. AL
lain replied that he was not going TO
give cent and wouldn't give cent,
even though we tried to make the
cause most worthy He still insisted
that he was not going to give and
good as ordered us out. He used the
expression $50 on now, l am not GO
ing to give-I won't do it." Some
thing has caused change in his at
titude. He tells the public now that
he is supporter of the Red Cross
and has given $4,000.
learned later that DR.. deGravelles
went to Allan and told him he { CAL
lain) had to give to the Red Cross or
he (deGravelles) would not send an
other prescription to that Drug Store
unless he did give. Hence you can ac-
count why Allain's change of heart
and his sudden burst Of patriotism
and loyalty.
have also learned that solicitors in
the other drives were turnel down

es, Mrs. Burl Clemer. and Mrs Fred
O'Brien.
make the assertion that Mr.. Al
lain is not the owner of single Lib
erty Bond and charge him with dis
loyalty in that respe t. In the Third
Liberty Bond drive, asked Mr.. AL
lain at the Fad ITO buy a Liberty
Bond. He walked away without say
ing word, treating me with silent
contempt. | learned later that Mr..
Fred O'Brien had also asked him to
buy Liberty Bond which he refused,
saying that the Government was vast
ing the money.
notice that Mr.. Allan parades the
fact that he voluntarily accepted the
responsible position from the Govern
ment of enlisting men for the Marine
Service. He did this several months
ago, he says, but there is no record
where he has ever enlisted single
person and l feel safe in saying that
he has the Governments interest 50
much at heart that he has done moth
ing.
have written the above statement
in order that the public may not be
misled. measure mans patriot
ism by his actions. Allain's actions
prove him disloyal

Baby Day Tomorrow

"The one hundred thousand baby
lives sacrificed every year to diseases
that occur in infancy and early child
hood, may in a great measure be
saved, if all mothers and health au-
thorities will cooperate" said Mrs.
Cass E. Jolley, Chairman of the Nor

fare.
"Babies are needed more than ev-
er before to take the places Of the
men lost in the great war. In exam
ming the men who joined the army,
the deplorable fact has been revealed
that to very great extent, physical
defects found, might have been pre-
vented in babyhood or early child
hood"
''In many cases the mothers were
so ignorant they had no idea that
glaring defects were abnormal. I'm

A Little GlrI's Pride,

When / was a youngster was anx'
ious to wear glasses and insisted that
my eyes were weak. My mother took
me to an oculist, writes Mrs. g. Md,
In the Chicago Herald, and ! noticed
after he had tested my eyes he and my
mother had a consultation. I went
home with the glasses, with the in
struction I was to wear them to school
the next day for the first time.
obeyed the instructions. On the way
to school met several Of my chums
who, of course, remarked about the
new addition. was quite proud Of
them and said:
"Oh, yes, can see 90 much better
now"
Giggles went around the class and
finally the teacher came to see what
the trouble was. Then she too laugh
ed. She asked me why had to have
such thick, heavy glasses. Taking
them off discovered only the frames
and no glass in them at all
The explanation was that l didn't
need glasses and mother had leagued
herself with the oculist to cure me Of
the foolish desire.

How They Do Il.

"What chances actors takew you
may exclaim when you see a motion
picture showing a man and lion, with
a none too pleasant expression, In a
hollow log together, each apparently
unaware of the presence of the other.
It seems a pity to spoil the effect Of
such good thriller by telling the truth
about the filming. The lion alone was
taken during one exposure Of the film.
When he had bowed himself out of the
log and back into his cage the man was
allowed to take the center Of the
screen, or rather of the log, and was
photographed in proper relation to the
lion, on the second exposure of the
same film. But on the screen, Of course,
they both appear in the log at the same
time.-Popular Science Monthly.
