Wastlru One's Time,

It Is probable that large per cent of the money paid for work in all em- ployments, public and private, Is vast ed in idling, talking, smoking and foo'. ing around. It can he noticsd every day everywhere. It Is bad symptom says the Ohio State Journal There is no difference between steWlng ones time and stealing ones money. Peo, pie are not in the habit of looking at 1t that way. They think it Is nothing to take ten minutes of mans time for which he is paid three to ten dol. lars day. If one remembers the old adage that time is money, he will con. clude he is thief if he takes either. Character consists in making honest use. of ones time. whether he works on salary or by the minute. It is character that he insist upon, not SC much the economy involved as the no bility of Selfhood.

taken out by our boys. Considerably more than two million of our fighting forces are now carrying insurance pol cies with the government and the policies thus issued aggregate close to seventeen billion dollars. Our fighting men are carrying an average of little more than $s,O0O worth of insurance each, which certainly is a magnificent testimonial to their apprection of thrift. The maximum amount allowed by the government is $lO,OOO, so that in hundreds of thousands of cases our boys have availed themselves of gov ernment military insurance to the limit of the allowance. Approximately ll,OOO applications for this insurance are being filed daily.
 Thrift is growing more rapidly among the farmers of the United States than among any other class. This is reflected in the Liberty bond sales. About 29o of the farming population of the country bought bonds of the first issue, while 2oqo of the rural pep

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT
By 8. W. STRAUS P,euaent Amer5cQn So0ey to, TArif

ulation participated in the third loan. In these days of high prices and un- usual public demands it is essential that thrift be practiced intelligently This can be done only by means of the budget system. That is every man, woman and child should begin today to keep budget of personal expendi- lures. When possible it is well to make up an advanced budget by ap- portionng the known income to ones various needs and uses. There are few persons who can not, at least with ap- proximate accuracy, tell what their in comes will be during an ensuing month. A budget thus should be made, pro- viding for necessary expenses and for reasonable amount of savings. In addition one should keep an accurate account of all expenses day by day. These are simple devices which take but a small amount of time, yet they will prove of great help. To live otherwise is like sailing the sea with out compass or travelling a strange road without consulting the guide posts.
 Make out your budget, and then stick to it.
 It is one of the best ways of getting out of debt and keeping out.
 You will be surprised also how fas- cinating the thrift habit becomes and how soon even with the saving of small amounts you will find yourself the pos sessor of comfortable nest-egg.
 A great many accusations are made against money, and it is responsible for much injustice in the world, but when you earn it honestly and save it intelligently it will prove one of the best friends you possibly can possess.

Our Daily Duty.

The discharge of the daily duty will immensely affect our influence with others. People are very practical They do not care to know only what man thinks or professes, but also what he is, and what he does. On the integrity, and diligence, and scrupu- lousnesS, and cheerfulness, and punc- tuality, and exactness, and complete ness, and kindness with which we dis charge our duties in relationship with those who come into contact with us, much of our usefulness must depend. --RiSIls,xa U'hnrnl1

To clean hair brushes, take a cupful of cornmeal and fill the brush, rubbing gently with the hand. AS it absorbs the grease and dirt shake 1t out and use fresh meal till the brush is cleaned thoroughly. This is better than ana. monia, as there is no water to injurs or loosen the back of the brush.

What do you do with the legs OF your
worn out hose? They may be spun into
yarn and made into conservation slippers,
etc.
Cut off the hem or rib top and cut them
into one long strip about th1ee-fourths OF
an inch wide, down to the heel. Roll the
ends and sew together neatly. Spin into
yarn by drawing it firmly over the sharp
edge of wooden box. 1t will curl up
round and smooth like yarn.
Then crochet it into slippers, rugs, etc.
Silk hose make very pretty slippers by
finishing the top with some OF the bright
er colors.
Cotton hose make nice rugs that are
durable and heavy and lie flat.
Cotton or wool make good holders.
Cut off foot, fold square and work edge
with buttonhole stitch with some bril- ht
colored warn or sansilk and fasten ring
to one corner. They are pllable In the
hand, easily washed and do not heat
through like cloth.
They also make excellent dust rags.

layine them one top to the other bottom.
They gather the dust much better than
cloth and are more easily washed.
Cotton ones make very good mops
Cut off feet and run as many legs of them
through the mop as you like. They hold
lots of water, yet they wiring very dry.

HOME BURIAL FOR THOSE KILLED
IN WAR.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5. Americans
who lose their lives in the war abroad
will be buried there only temporarily.
Where identification is possible the
bodies will be placed in marked graves,
to be taken up when the war is over and
brought home.
This plan of the war department was
disclosed today by the publication of ar J.
cles of agreement between the army and
the navy regarding the transportation OF
sick and wounded from overseas.
A section of the agreement says:
'The remains Of all officers, enlisted
men and civilian employees who have
died or will hereafter die in France shall
be buried in France until the end of the
war, when the remains shall be brought
back to the United States for final In
terment.
"Such cemeterial facilities as the army
may have acquired in France shall be
