Thrift-Spending and

Peter Patriot had a penny.
Sammy Stacker had a cent.
Peter put his penny in his pock-
ct until he had twenty-five and
then he bought a Thrift Stamp.
Thus Peter had saved twenty
five cents for himself; he had
loaned twenty-five cents to the
government; he had permitted
the government TO buy twenty
five cents worth Of goods or SER
vices to win the war; he had
helped business, himself, and his
country. He was Peter Patriot.
Sammy Stacker spent his cent
for some silly, insignificant stuff
sweets or something-and saw

Opportunities

for remoielling a frock or suit,
or for using up an odd length OF
material are many and no combi-
nation is too unusual to be smart
if taste rules the making. Often
a between time hat does yeo-
mans service at odd intervals
for more than the current season,
and is a good investment. Short
lengths of brocade make distinc-
tive trimmings for hats or dress
es, or go long way toward the
building of handsome bags.
Marked down garments of really
fine materials are useful for many
occasions, especially the type of
dressy afternoon gown that goes
anywhere. Beautiful coats are
to be had now at the price of Or
dinary ones, and furs at remark
able reductions for thoroughly
reliable skins made In imported
styles.
l saw lovely coats of fur soft
and flexible as satin at Shayne's
lately that would be an acquisi-
ton to any outfit with surpris-
ingly reasonable markings, and
capes, stoles and sevs that would
adorn any costume proportion
ately low. A black fox set, soft
and glossy and becoming as only
fox can be, showed all the grace
that has come to be associated
with these animal iAodeS.
Patent Leather Fixings.
Patent leather oxfords are the
favorite footwear of the moment,
patent leather purses and bags,
especially the big week end"
types are things desired, and pat
ent leather hats are very smartly
worn for both fair and foul Wea-
ther, with sport clothes or with
ordinary tailored things.

Drunkenness and Insanity.

London. - Especial. Insanity de-
creases as drunkenness decreases.
This is true In the United States and
it is also true in other countries. Off
cial figures show that England is be-
coming more sane as she becomes
more sober. In 1916 convictions for
drunkenness were the lowest recorded
for nearly so years. Last year these
convictions totaled 84,191 against
1883 in 1915.
The number of insane persons in
England and Wales last year was also
the lowest for so years, showing de-
crease of 3,159 compared with the
number in 1915.

from the Office of the Controller Of
Currency, in which statement is made
that "with the higher wages paid to
workmen and with the larger return
to capital, the savings of the people,
despite the high cost of living, have
increased enormously. The growth Of
Prohibition has stimulated thrift and

Beer Sales Slump.

Washington, D. c. - Evidently
Americans are not drinking so much
beer these war times. According to
the Internal Revenue Commissioner,
the number of barrels of beer sold the
first quarter of this fiscal year is
fewer by 2,7OS,627 than were sold in
the corresponding period last year.
The slump shows that the people are
exercising good sense by letting alone
that which is injurious and which does
rot do anybody any good.

Keep Your Liberty Bond
The Liberty Bond is govern
ment bond, as good a bond as the
goverrme It has ever issued. Just
as safe. j st as reliable.
Don't forge this.
NCr that in all it's history the
government has never defaulted
one of it's bonds. There is no
better security on earth. 1t is
as good as a greenback, so far as
it's safety is concerned.
1t pays you four per cent in
terest annually, just as much as
you can get for your greenback
at any savings bank. And its
face value will never shrink.
There have been times when
government bonds went below
par, just as in recent months
Liberty Bonds have sold below
par. But there was never any
valid reason why they should
have done so
And they never stayed there so
very long at a time.
| Since the war Of 1912 there
has never been an issue of Uni.
ted States bonds that failed to go
above par. Some dropped below
for time but they always rose
again.

Vivid Color Contrasts.

!. 1t Was noticeable that dark
suits or coat dresses were usually
relieved by some bright dash of
clear color, introduced in an orig
inal way.
Sometimes it was only a vivid
lining that showed at the edge of
a ccat or the small scarf ends fin
ishing the belt were faced with
color, hut always the contrast is
used discreetly, and not over
done.
A black satin suit with trim
mings of black fox was worn
with a black satin turban and
trim embroidered face veil, and
the contrast furnished by a bag
o. American Beauty satin all done
in tiny ruffles.
Sometimes it was a scarlet hat,
IN turban shape, that set off a
sombre costume. Satin hats are
decidedly faddish in both black
and colorG and satin suits that are
lavishly fur trimmed are much in
evidence.

ARMY HEALTH RATE
BEST IN HISTORY

Washington, D. C.-The American
Army has practically eradicated the
scourge of disease, which in previous
wars caused more deaths than shrapnel
and sword.
The credit side of the army's health
ledger carries table of lower and lower
percentages. An American soldier of
today takes his chance on the firing line
rather than in a hospital, or mess hall
where impure food is served. Our
armies at home and abroad are not
menaced by embalmed beef scandals,
such as occurred during the Spanish
American war. Typhoid is almost I'M
known on battle field and in training
camp. Mortality from pneumonia is
remarkably low. Social diseases nc
longer seriously menace the effectiveness
of American armies. II st1* ( p
A recent report from the office OF thu
Surgeon General of the army disclose'
that for the past two months the average
| death rate on account of disease wa
only 28 per thousand. This repor
covers both the American ExpeditiOnar.

Select this year at least 100 ears
for every acre to be planted next year
and the year after. This will give
a chance for restricting the best in
the spring. g.
Select medium-sized, well-shaped ears
Of variety that has been grown in
the locality for some time; from strong,
vigorous stalks of medium height with
more than one stalk in the hill.
Select ears nearly as large as the
tip as at the butt, with straight rows
of uniform kernels and with not more
than 16 to 10 rows of kernels to the
ear.
Select ears with kernels that fill all
the space on the cob and are about
half again as broad at the tip as at
the cap.
Store your seed corn where it can
not freeze before becoming thoroughly
dry, and in such way that the air
can circulate freely about each ear.

EFFICIENCY IN BETHLEHEM

Ordinarily a person reading the fol-
Sowing article which appeared in the
American Magazine for September would
naturally suppose that Charles M.
Schwab of the Bethlehem Steel Co.
had found a system whereby labor is
more than amply rewarded. The article
says: "It is fit and proper that Labor
should receive fair share Of what it
helps to create.
In our Bethlehem Steel plant we have
Faah 3 very elaborate system for re-
wardlng men according to their deserts.
. We have minimum wage under which
no mans pay can fall. But at least
80 per cent of all our workers participate
in bonuses and rewards according to
their individual results. At very great
cost we instituted years ago system
which standardized almost every job
and every kind of work turnout the
entire establishment. We carefully ar
rived at how much work CT each kind
should be accomplished by normal
effort, and then we fixed generous
basis Of special compensation for every
thing done over and above that amount.
1.-The whole thing has worked out
,excellently for both the men and the
company. AS a matter OF fact, the
average wages received by the workmen
~ Bethlehem are greater than those
paid any other set of steel workers in
America. Naturally I am proud OF
this fact, because I want everyone OF
nv men to have chance to get ahead,

capable of earning
Now comes the National War Labor
Board and unanimously finds that this
bonus system is so complicated and
difficult to understand that it should be
entirely revised or eliminated, that
. it is the main cause of the dissatisfaction
. among the employees and that this
dissatisfaction has had a seriously
detrimental effect upon the production

finds that Eugene H. Grace is being

I VISION OF DAYS TO COME

4 In Canada the soldiers Of the Great
War are forming what they call s'The
Great War Veterans Association of
Canada" This association is going into
politics with the primary object of
securing a successful prosecution Of
the war but tackled to this resolution
is a recommendation of reforms for
various grievances. They are beginning
early to make use Of the strength they
will have when there are four or five million
back home and four or five million
!, soldiers thoroly organized will certainly
have something to say in politics.
Some people are already worrying
about the pensions that these. soldiers
are going to want but we rather guess tina
the government has had this matter
in mind long time and the politicians
are going to be shorn OF some of the
crop they have been reaping ever s:nce
the last war. It is quite possible that
the time may come when all the soldiers
will ask pensions but before that time
arrives it is to be hoped that he will
have asked other things of more i'm
portance to himself and everyone else
living in America. r. H.. a..
1t is very likely that he will rule the
world, not only America. He is very
likely to say what is to be done with
the big landed estates in Great Britain.
We can imagine him turning things
up-side-down in Germany when he
gets thru with the hopeless task the
Kaiser has set for him. The French
soldier while he has forgotten everything
just now but saving his beloved land
will awake to realization that he too
has ''class" controlling him and he is
going to tell them where to get off at.
In America the soldiers grievance will
be spelled BIG BUSINESS and
Big Business had better look out.
Possibly the soldier boy will run riot
for a time when he gets home but at
any rate there are whole lot more of
the common people who will be organized
than before and it has only been be-
