PLENTY OF FRESH AIR
is HEALTH INSURANCE

Do not close up the house the
first cold day.
The best protection against
colds and influenza is plenty of
fresh air.
Open all the doors several
times IA day and thoroughly air
the whole house.
Fresh air is more quickly
heated than stale, hence 1t
saves fuel as well as health to
have good ventilation.
All winter leave at least one
screen in n window in each
room. Cover it With muslin
an old flour sack is excellent
for this purpose. In this way
fresh air is secured without a
draft and dirt is kept out.
Sleep at night with the win
dows open. The body replaces
the waste of the day during the
sleeping hours and plenty of OK
ygen is its first aid.

Perhaps the time may come when the society girl who learned to drive an auto for the mere pleasure of 1t will have an opportunity to drive because her coun- try asks her to; the tenosrapher in private life may be called into the work of the army or navy, and the woman who, years ago. lived on a farm and made her own butter and took care of the hens may be very necessary in safeguarding the food supply. There Is no telling wAst wo- men will be needed or where they will be needed, so the government wants them all listed.

Residents in the neigh5Srhood of Broad, Lafayette and Gilbert streets were aroused at an early hour this morning by. one of the most exciting man and woman hunts of recent times, the central figures of which were a police lieutenant, two women, and a man, said to be intoxicated.
 The excitement started when Lieu- tenant James Walker of police head quarters was walking along Broad street near the Neil Muirhead store about two o'clock a. m. when he saw James Barunian, of 261 Gilbert street, accompanied by Elizabeth Ryan, of 942 Warren street, and Dora Sumbstrom of 49 Orange street emerge from the store.
 Immediately the trio sighted the of cer they started to run and he gave chase, finally capturing the man and two women at the corner of Lafay- cite and Gilbert streets.

THRIFT STAMP
 COLLECTIONS <
 IN CHURCHES
Pastors of City Make Re : sponse to Appeal of War
 Board,

The letter sent out by the War Saw 1ngs Committee to all of the pastors In town announcing the appointment of Sunday, September 22nd, as War Savings Collection Day, has been leaeerly reoeived and enthusiastically tendorsed by a great majority of the pastors.
 The plan is for each attendant at church on Sunday, September 22nd, to pElk a, certain number of Thrift Stamps sor War Savings Stamps on the col lection plate in lieu of the regular contribution. In this way the peo- ple's money is loaned to the govern xnent to w1nsthe war, the church gets the nucleuS of a permanent invest jment fund which can speedily be in creased to the amount of $1,O00, which is the limit that any one person or corporation may hold of War Savings Stamps. In urging its people to lend their money to the Government and contrtbute their Governments stamps, the church becomes truly the church militant. All through the war the churches have led the way, and this movement is just a continuation or what they have begun. The plan was tried in St. Georges church on Park avenue with great success last Sun day. More than five times the amount of the regular contributions was received, and the church mem Ibers were highly pleased with the plan
 Church attendants may purchase stamps during the week and deliver them on Sunday, or in many of the churches arrangements will be made for their purchase at the church door. In case the plan of selling them at the church door is adopted, the church committee will have provided a sup ply in advance and girls from the congregation will sell them
 Rev. William Horace Day, pastor of the United church. in endorsing the plan said, "I not only approve of it, but think it should be extended dur ling the war so that at all times any jone may put into the collection plate / either War Savings Stamps or money The War Savings Stamps would con- stitute a permanent church invest ment sto be used. in the case of the United church, possibly in the exten- sfon of our building fund. When the war is over and we are freed from tht Obligation not to compete with tht Government for labor and materials we shall want to go ahead with ouI new building, and am confident tha tour funds can be substantially in creased by this and similar means"
