WORD TO HOUSEWIVES.

The organization of the grocerr and retail dealers for the purpose oi conserving not alone foodstuff. but man power. and everything else nec- essary to be conserved. is bringing a very foolish and unwarranted prac- tice on the part of many housewives to the attention of the public.
 The woman who lives some blocks out, and who telephones to the city for a spool of thread, or a dimes worth of beans, and orders it sent out, is not alone proving herself un- patriotic, but she is making a charge against some other women that Is very unfair to the other woman, be- Ause that other woman may not be s4 able to meet expenses as the one who does the telephoning.
 Example: 4 woman telephones for T dimes worth of beans Perhaps the srocer makes ] or cents on the or aar. He is given the hurry up for the delivery. He tells a delivery man to Ike the order out. The delivery man $ getting salary The delivery man steps into an automobile, and gaso- inc and tires arc consumed in the delivery. The grocer has lost per aaps 9 cents on that deliyery-but 1, the grocer is like every other busi- ness man. He gets even somewhere, for keep even he must or else go out of business.
 That is one of the reasons for high prices.
 The dealers of Hot Springs, as else where. propose to conserve in every thing. and to give the public the benefit of that conservation. l.

rAE REVIVAL OPENING.

Today in Hot Springs there wld se opened a religious revival The churches generally of the city joined in this movement, and being its spon sers, are therefore continuously iu charge The purpose of the reyiva is that religious teachings may be brought 10 men,' who, except under such abnormal conditions, seldom at tend church. It's object is the spread of christianity
 It is understood that this is none of the slap bang, hammer and iong. everybody on the road to hell but me kind of services that have attracted much publicity in other communities but perhaps left little of the chris tianity expected from such institu- Ions. It Is said that the leaders of
 movement, the band of itineran
 ivalists, are jealous but sane ear 2
 st but human, and that their com ng here does not mean that they
 pect to abuse everybody and every shng.
 It is anticipated that this movement
 constructive, and not destructive md that the purpose, the one pur pose. is the spread of the teachings of the bible. Hot Springs Is a moral city, considering that it Is not an in terurban village, the type of which has sent some here to pose as de stroyers. Measured from every standpoint It ia more moral city han others of its character-muct nore moral Save and except that our need of patronage has led to some laxlty, which has been carefully guarded and carefully supervised there is nothing for attack. And be- fore any person has the right to rol us of means of prosperity. he mus have devised for us an acceptable substitute.
 The revival that is coming to Ho ; Springs is going to be a big success because ii is going to be devoted l. religious purposee. and becausa fl l. going to be handled by men whC know and understand that Ho Springs works hard for that which Il receives, and must not be denied the fruit of her efforts. We welcome tho coming Of the six weeks propaganda of religion because we believe that religious and patriotic duty will be inspired, and that no scar of preju dice will be loft in its wake.
