Turn Waste Into Savings

The worst lack Of preparedness"

waste with characteristic, genera
tons grown contempt for botherinc
with gleanings. ash sitting, and bread
crumbs. with the common expression,
Life is too short"
Now we learn all over again. We
must forget our contempt for saving
and making use Of little things and
practice an art that has become 4
world ecessity-economy We must
save, even when the time occupied in
the saving would be worth more to us
than the saving. for the world has
need Of even the little things.
We should have a generation il
which to undo our inherent prodigal-
ity, but we must, like true Americans
who never fail to meet crisis, learn
to save right off the reel. Stop
wasting, Don't let yourself dump
the bit because cts too much work
to bother with it," Save it.
A War Savings campaign has been
organized upon a wide scale. The at
tention of every American of any age
is called to the privilege, the duty,
the necessity of serving themselves
and the country by saving the pen
MES as we must save crumbs
enough pennies equal a valuable War
Savings Stamp or a Liberty Bond,
as enough crumbs equal in food value

much, we serve too large portions,
we indulge our appetites and habits
beyond good sense and good health.
we sweep the crumbs into the fire,
we burn rubbish" that should be
fuel-there's no end of our waste, and
few Of us wish to, or can, deny it.
Let us not only begin the everyday
and every hour practice Of saving in
food and drink and fuel and clothing,
and of putting the saving into Liberty
Bonds and War Savings Stamps, but
let us take our own personal lives in
hand and be cleaner, wiser, healthier.

A VOICE from the Tomb.

Empress Maria Theresa, WHO
reigned over Austria from 174o to
1880, told what she thought OF Prus-
STA and the Hohenzollerns.
Everybody in Europe knows how
much dependence may be placed IN
the King of Prussia and his word,
she wrote. France has experienced 1t
on several occasions. and. speaking
generally, no sovereign OF Europe mas
been able to avoid his perfidies. Ana
it is such king who wishes TO I'M
pose himself upon Germany as die
tator and protector. For
81 wears this man has been. by his
military despotism and his victories
the scourge of Europe. He mas orok-
en- with all recognized principles or
right and of truth; he disregards
every treaty and every allegiance
and it is we who are the hrst TO De
exposed to his blows"
A few DAYS before her death she
added:
The Hohenzollern dynasty recog-
nizes no other motive than Its own
profit If this principle is allowed
continually to gain ground, what Will
he the future reserved for our sue
cessors?"
These words, uttered century and
half ago. might be voiced by the
head of any government in civiliza =
ton today. for they are true today.
as they were then. Kaiser Karl I'M
,,, HI
words of Maria Theresa if he dare
not speak them aloud. and America
has spoken loud enough for all the
world to hear, except those peoples
whom the hand Of the HohenZollern
has cut off from the world, that the
pcrfidies of Prus sianism have put
the dynasty beyond the pale of
negotiation with democratic nations.
America and the allied ations
with her cannot make treaties with,
or recognize as head of a people, a
Hohenzollern. The Prussian mill
tary despotism must die that the
world may be fit to live in.
Lloyd George said: The world has
( got to be everybody's world.
We have ali got to live in it after the
war, and it must be fit for everybody
/ to live in"
And as Maria Theresa said so lore
ago. the king of Prussia has broken
with all recognized principles of right
and truth; he disregardz every treaty
and every allegiance: ne recognizes
no other motive than his own profit.

To forestall attempts to evade the
payment of personal taxes by emf
grafton after the war the enactment
of a law requiring persons liable to
such taxes to leave 20 per cent of
their taxable property as security in
the event of emigration has been pro-
posed in Germany. The war masters
well understand that when the war is
ended the burden of Germany will be
more than the people will bear if
they can escape. And again many
Germans will have nothing left in
Hunland to hold them there, and
they will have seen enough of Prus-
sianism to ALLEVIATE them forever.
