harmful Loss Of Temper.

Although unbridled rage is helpful in
fight among the lower animals, need.
less to say it is the reverse of service
able In the deliberate fighting Of man
against man, as in boxing and fencing
for here anger interferes with those
cautious methods Of attack and de-
fense which are essential to success.
To lose ones temper in fighting of this
kind may be to lose the fight. With
this reservation 1t is curious to note
the close kinship between the COM
batant instinct of man and of the low
er animals. The untamed man. when
enraged. assumes in very truth the as
pect Of the tiger; he puts himself in
u threatening attitude. frOwns, glares,
rolls his eyes. grinds his teeth, snarls,
growls, even roars-thus instinctively
seeking to strike terror into his op.
pOnent.

Count Leo Tolstoy in his youth laid

The Guachos of South America have

men, how many are mounted and
whether they are driving horses or
cattle before them. The Guachos can
also tell by the thunder of hoOfs

Best Known Hunting Dogs.

Two distinct breeds of hunting dogs
In ancient times were the greyhound
and the bloodhound, and their origin
Is lost in the misty ages of the long
ago. Tablets unearthed at Nineveh
show by pictures that both dogs were
common in that ancient day. The
bloodhound was first selected on ac-
count OF his good nose In scenting
the trail of game. He is pendulous
cared, or drop-eared dog. Finally he
became the thinner of olden days. that
Is. the bloodhound led In leash or
line to track the qu9rry to its lair
or hnrbor. He was used only to locate
the game and wns never off the lead,
while the greyhounds mission was to
race at the game and pin 1t by the
nose.

High Ideals Marked indians.

The law Of hospitality was general
among the savage tribes of this cont.
nent. It was rare, or indeed unknown
that an enemy who had accepted hos
pitality ever violated that rule which
made his host as sacred rs himself had
been. Among our most savage tribes
the liar always was man desplsed
Tie man who fought In the open was
the man respected. The forked tongue
ranked man where such man be-
longed and always will belong-wth

WHAT LED TO THE WAR

Perhars cne of tie potent factors

WHY THE SAVINGS pLEDega

During the present intensive War
Sa, ,ings campaign we are asked by
the president and by Secretary Nc
Adoo to pledge ourselves to save and
with our savings to buy at definite
tines a srecific amount Of War Saw
ings STAMPS. Why 81 ould we be
called uTcn to do this and why
should we do it?
We ere called upon to do it be-
cause, as President Wilson says, this
ard everyone in the land must do
his share. So far more than 2,00O,-
900 men have gone into the army
and navy and 100000 mere are to
join before August /. These 3,O0O,-
900 men give themselves as their do
naticn to the war. The remaining
81 900, 900 people left at Tome must
give something else as their share.
This savings pledge gives the stay
at-homes ar opportunity for service.
We are asked to pie edge ourselves to
save and economic, to use labor
ard materials only as necessity de-
mands, and to invest our savings in
War Savings STAMPS.
The governme ent asks us to do this
because the amount of labor and ma
terials in the country is limited;
there is not enough of either to per-
NIT us to use it in the same free
way as we did in peace times. and
at the same time to leave enough
in tie markets for the use of the
government 1t is purely question
of supply and demand. If we use
the supply the government does not
have 1t for war needs And the
smaller the amount the government
las fer use the longer will the war
last, That is the primary reason
for the savings campaign.
But there is another side to the
question. Tie government asks us
to pledge ourselves to save to help
win the war. 1t does not ask us to
give it anything EXCEPT our coopera-
ton. In return for our help we re-
ceive government security which
pays us coed rate Of interest.
If we do as the government asks,
and we should, this, then, will be
tha result: d We shall buy only
those things necessary to maintain
us in the best of health and spirits:
(2) by refraining from buying un-
necessary things We shall leave in
the markets fer government use a
greater supply of lator and material
with which to win a quicker victory;
90 by not frittering our money away
on things that do not make for ef-
ficiency we 81 all keep ourselves in
better health and increase. our pow.
ers Of production; az by investing
our savings in War Savings Stamps
we shall be putting aside fer those
days which inevitably come, If we
live lcng eenough, the means to
greater happiness.
When so much can be accomplish.
ed by joining in this War Savings
campaign, why should we not do it?
