THE VALUE OF THRIFT

In the four Liberty Loan campaigns about
10000 900 subscriptions for bonds we're re-
ceived. Many of these investors subscribed
more than once, but it is probable their num-
Der exceeds 100000, which is more than
half the number of persons engaged in gain
full occupations. Millions have also bought
Thrift Stamps amounting to about $1,000
900 900. Savings banks also report gains in
deposits since America entered the war. This
indicates a general development of thrifty
habits which lave not hitherto characterized
the American people.
Those Who have bought Liberty Bonds
should hold them and buy more in the open
market. They should take advantage of the
existing depreciation of the best securities in
the world to pick up bargains. These bonds
are intrinsically worth hundred cents on the
dollar and will be worth more than par if
business ever becomes seriously depressed. In
the dull times tina followed the panic in 1893
good 1-2 per cent railroad bonds sold above
par because investors were OVercautious and
preferred safety to income returns. This has
happened so often in the apst that it may be
regarded as a fixed law of finance. There Is
no reason for expecting a period of depres-
sion, but the best insurance against it is to
buy these government securities which will
increase in market value if it does come.
Those who buy more bonds help to protect
their investment. Many persons oversub-
scribed and are taking a loss. AS soon as this
class of liquidation runc it's course the mar

glimpse of Egypt as it really is today-not

but a place where the rightful inhabitants
buy as well as sell and are unhurried by the
demands of the foreigner.
The street scenes with their vivid colors
yelled in a layer of dust are like nothing so

boy, why do you gaze so long on this brooke"
Sir" said the child, 81 stay here to wait
till the stream has run off, for then shall
pass with dry feet" Nay" quoth the old
man, you might stay out your life, and yet
not do that, for this brook will run as
long time. And as you wend your way
through life, you will find this out. If you

WHO'S WHO IN A
NEWSPAPER OFFICE

Whose dreadful voice is it that causes
fear?
And, like a wornout auto stripping
gear,
1t CRATES and grinds on every ear?
The Editors.
Whose silken hose and amply short
ened skirt
The eyes of all the single men divert
Who'll have one hooked if he is not
alert?
The Society Editor.
Who is the most important guy of
all?
Whose cerebrum is smaller than his
gall?
And who, like pride, is doomed to
have fall?
The Cub.
Who tries to please the writer's grave
and sage
By editing their copy page by page,
But only makes them rant and roar
with rage?
The Linotypist.
Who grunts and growls of sundry
pains and aches
Cause he's got the goat for numerous
mistakes
The empty-headed cub reporter
makes?
The Proofreader.
Who smears the ink across his vacant
face?
Whose ivory dome will never learn
the case?
Who pies the forms of type and
drops the chase?
The Devil.
Who stews and storms whenever
copy's shy,
And storms and stews when it is
piled high?
Who can't be pleased, no matter how
you try?
The Foreman.
Whose splendid work is least appre-
ciated,
And whose best lines are oft emascu-
lated;
Nay, frequently the whole cradicated?

FOOD CONTROL

Atlanta, Ga, March 1.-THE Office
of DR.. Andrew M. Soule, federal food
administrator for Georgia, has been
SO much impressed with the following
publication by the Valdosta Times
on the reasons for FOOD Control"
it is being sent to the press of the
state with request for its general use
"A great many people who have
been accustomed to going to the gro
Gerry stores and buying what thew
please-much or little-do not under
stand why they cannot do so now.
They do not understand why the law
requires them to buy cereals along
with flour, on fifty-tifty basis Some
OF them think that they are being de
prived of liberty"
IF it were not for the government
control many of those who are kick
ing now would not be able to get even
the amount the law allows them to
have.
lhe government took over certain
food crops and the fuel supply in or
der that all classes of citizens might
share alike. 1t was to prevent the
spectators from running away with
the supplies. 1t was to prevent the
rich man from getting all the -four
and leaving the poor man only meal
and corn.
The law says to the wheat grower,
hour-mill man, wholesale dealer and
retailer-that they shall not charge
more than a certain amount for their
products. 1t also tells them that thew
cannot sell more than certain
amount to one customer.
There are 100,000,OO0 pounds to
be divided between 100000 peo-
pie. If fifty million people buy up
the whole supply there will be moth
ing left for the other fifty million.
That is why the government tells
each man that he shall have only a
certain amount.
1t is to make the supply go around
and not let few rich men buy up the
whole output.
That is also the reason the gov
eminent forces those who have no
other cereals to buy them along with
flour"

In stale bread.
In bread crusts.
In table crumbs.
In kitchen garbage.
In the fats of meats.
In meat and chicken bones.
In the sour milk and butterm;Ik
that is thrown away.
In fats which we neglect to render
In eating more than we really
need
In eating wrong kinds of food.
In trying meats and not saving the
fats.
In not substituting other foods for
the beef, wheat and bacon which are
needed overseas.
In improper cooking.
In feeding too much protein (albu-

old persons and persons in sedentarv

In keeping too many domestic pets,
which consume good food.
