 Doors and Windows Costly
 The price per door or window should prevent the home builder from request ing additional openings except where il is very advisable. Doors cost from $10 upward, and every window from s to $t5. Screens, blinds, shades, storm windows and doors all increase the cost. Any opening additional to the architects preliminary plans is usually figured at S10 or more.
 In everything, the home builder should aim for substantial eonstrue- tion. F'ltmsy houses are poor is= yestment. No matter how plain the house OF how elegant, II should not he marred by false economy. II is far better ta ecanamiZe on Interior trim than on elaphoards. building paper, sheathiHg double floors. shingles. etc. Painting is another thing where to spare eXPeHse fs to invite future repair bills. By all means build for keeps" The strain on the bank account may be somewhat more than you planned to have ii stand but the avoidance of ex- tra heating expense. extra repairs. etc. in the years to come will be source of lf-congratulati0n.

Now here's where we need the good help of wOmen-the mothers, wives sisters and sweethearts of the boys. It's going to take q little time to do this work of re-education. Give the boys this time Let them stay with their teachers in these schools until they are once more fitted to earn d liv- ing.
 The very greatest injury you could possibly put upon your physically in iured boy would be to turn him into q psychcal cripple-to sutfocate him in maudln sentimentality.
 Don't for the great love you bear him. don't take him home. and make him q dependent. That you are willing to toll and slave for him is most praiseworthy in you. But your we'll meant efforts may transform q self-re- specting earnest man into an idler-a handicap to you and a terrible enemy to himself. It may put the .reverse English" in the little story Captain Samuels told me.
 In Germany, they are using from s5 to 90 per cent of all their disabled men back of the lines, while the re maning 10 to 15 per cent are entirely self-supporting. Take q lesson from these scientific savages.
 God grant that your dear boy may come home to you safe and sound. but he should be hurt give us chance tQ bring out all that there is in him, t8 place him in the very best possible condition to work for his future, and for the future of those who love him.
 And so you will do most for him, most for yourself. and most for the country he gave so much to save.

Silk, the
Wonnan's
Own Gift

If you will pardon a homely
phrase, there are more reasons
than you could shake a stick. at
why people are giving gifts of
Wanamaker silks and giving
them to an extent never known
before.
The silks themselves are a
mighty good reason, good enough
In fact to leave no need for
another reason - although there
are plenty of other good ones
also, for silk is woman's own
gift.

fine and they are fed by run

BLDG. AND
LOAN ASSOCIATION
ELECTS OFFICIALS
Annual Meeting of Stockholders Held
Monday Night-Board of Direc-
tor and Officers Elected.
ASSOCIATION is PROSPEROUS.
The Usual Annual Dividend Declared
And Surplus Passed to Credit
Of the Association.

Annual meeting of the stockhold-
ers of the Peoples Building & Loan
Association, of Bay St. Louis, was
held Monday night at the office of the
Association, in the Masonic Bldg,
Main street, for the purpose of de-
claring the annual dividend, electing
a board for the new year and the
board in turn to elect the officers
to serve for the ensuing year.
AS a result of the election held by
stockholders, the following
were elected to serve on the Board
of Directors: ]. A. Breath, Jno. Osoi-
mach, Jos. o. Mauffray, George R.
Rea George J. Muller Rene de Mon
tluzin, Charles G. Moreau.
From these directors the following
named officers were elected: Presi-
dent, Chas. G.. Moreau; vice presi-
dent; treasurer, Geo. R. Rea; secre-
tary, J. A. Breath. The appointment

that the Association was in a most
prosperous condition and the pros
poets for the immediate future were
unusually bright

earnings were passed to the treasury
of the Associations.

THRIFT AND DESIRE.

Ny friend Solomon said "Thru
desire man separateth himself and
intermedeleth with all knowledge and
wisdom" Modern psychology teaches
that what we desire we shall have if
we desire the right thing, and desire
it Alright, and go after it in the
right way. Desire then is the foun-
dation, the beginning of possession.
But it must be desire. A wish" is
not sufficient. Desire is deep in the
soul. A wish is on the lips. A
young man says to me, II wish | had
that" and he can say that with a
cigarette on his lips, 90
breath say, "But / am not able to
pay for it. " But if l can get him to
allow desire to have birth in hie
soul, he will cast away the cigarette
and assert soul function, little
backbone" for "wish bone" and
go after the thing with desire in his
heart and "blood in his eye"
Each of the twelve spies could
say, "ThatPromised Land is a fine
place. 1 wish we had it." But ten
of them said, "Butthe land is full of
giants. We can't get it." Joshua
and Caleb walked up in front with a
real desire in their hearts, and de-
real desire in their hearts, land deter
mination in their manner and NV
pose in their souls and said, ''It is a
goodly land, and we are abundantly
able to take it." But the majority
was without such desire and pur-
pose and they wandered around for
ty years in the wilderness, bleaching
the desert places with their bones,
because they did not hearken to the
voice of a real man nor respond to
a divine function of a human soul

ANOTHER coNscRIPTION NEED
-ED-AT ONCE.

Quite as important in the world
war as the military campaigns of the
various belligerants was the starva-
ton campaign of each group in the
fighting.
The blockade system of the Allies
as frightened gradually in an effort
to starve Germany, and in this way
force her into peace. It entailed
tremendous suffering upon the Teu-
tonic people, food was scarce and
we do not doubt but that thousands
went hungry in the Kaiser's empire
The submarine campaign was
launched primarily with an idea of
starving Great Britain, and this is
just as dangerous as the prevention
of transportation towards the war
fields of France Great Britain will
not be starved But food regulations
are becoming more and more string
ent as ship bottoms become scarcer.
The recent peace between Ger
many and Ukraine seem to mean
that the starvation campaign against
Kaiser has been check-mated. With
Russia and Ukraine provision has
been made in the last peace arrange
ments that huge supplies of food
will be shipped into Germany, and
other countries allied with her. If
this is done, there can be no dam
ger of starving them out
The campaign against Great Bri-
tain continues. The submarine is
still sinkingg merchant vessels bad
ly needed, and the question of fed
ing the British people, supplying our
armies in France, and transporting
war material to the armies on the
western front is becoming more and
more vital. The only dependable
answer to it is the building of ships
more and more of them than ever
before.
The Government is calling for car
penters and other laborers, for the
shipyards. 1t is call as important
as the demand for men between Fl
and 80 years for the active military
duties. If it is not answered vol
UNFAIRLY, conscription of this labor

ton. If the labor doesn't volunteer,
