HNgggJ other order comes in for
N0D the attention of both old
and young as does the order Pri-
mates. To man the monk is more
interesting than the lion or the
elephant; more attractive than the
shiniest fish or the most brilliantly
plumed bird.
Whether this curiosity displayed
by man is purely accidental, or an
inborn instinct reaching down and
across few cycles of time-a sort
of fellow feeling of family relation
ship-it is hard to say; but never
theless, mans curiosity regarding
the monk is a fixed fact, and will
remain so as long as time.
But it's not the larger, man-like
types that are the most attractive.
They are ungainly, sordid, re-
pulsive! Most individuals look at
them from the same point of view.
Instead of being handsome, they
are grewsome! And, while it's q
known fact that they possess an
intelligence far SURPRISING that of
the lesser varieties, in the presence
of their superiors they absolutely
refuse to show it. But the lesser
monks are more delicate; more
pleasing in color and general make
up; and instead of being grouches,
are less reluctant to display the
full amount of approaching human
knowledge that they may possess.
Hence they are the favorites of
the zoo.
But how many ever saw Colobi
monkeys Very few. And but
few have ever seen a photograph,
or read sketch about this, the
most beautiful of all the monkey
family.
The reason is, but few have ever
been captured. And these few
have, with an exception or two,
refused to eat, and die within a
few days. Up to five years ago
but single specimen had ever
reached Europe. And he had been
shot and wounded, and was not in
possession of his natural faculties.
His capture and return to the Con-
tinent was by the efforts of a Mr..
Shilling who, in the interests of
the famous Haeenbecks of Ham
burgh, spent two years in the
jungles of German and British
East Africa, hunting for and To-

Because We Live;
Let Us Then Fight

Fifty years from now our children
will be honoring those who have
fought this war by erecting statues in
their memory, holding memorial serv-
ices in their churches, having pa
rades and placing flowers on their
graves. "
All this is as it should be. It will
be the only opportunity left them of
showing their gratitude to those who
sacrificed their all that this country
might enjoy peace and democracy. ~
But we Of this generation have by
far a greater privilege than this. Ours
is the honor and privilege to fight
side by side with these gallant sold
iers; though three thousand, miles
separate us from them.
While they pour out their. hearts
blood on the battlefield that ssthe
world may be made safe for de-
mocracy," the rest of US can pour out
our energies in service none the less
freely and effectively by saving food.
A few years ago the American
housewife was criticized, and perhaps
Justly SO. as being the most extrava-
giant and wasteful housewife in the
world. But the American woman has
v been one to shrink before re-
sponsibility. She realizes now that it
is in her power to keep the wolf from
the worlds door. Because of the
constantly decreasing production of
Europe and. the insufficient. shipping
facilities, the world must look more
and more to Americas larder for its
maintenance. 1919 .
And the American woman, not the
American government, is the keeper
of this larder. Because the American
housekeeper knows if she uses as
much wheat. meats, fats and sugar
as she has been in the habit of using,
there will be nothing left in the larder
with which the housekeepers in other
parts Of the world, car feed their
families, she is bending her energies
to economizing on these foods. This
is her duty to her. country.
This is the proud privilege of every
woman, because she lives now and has
an opportunity to do something of
vital helpfulness to the soldiers, in
stead Of waiting until after they are
dead before showing her gratitude for
their sacrifices.

HOW ARE YOU
STANDING THE GAFF?

This country is going through z
period such as England experienced
during the early days of the war. a
time when the normality Of life is be-
ing interfered with and people are
liable to become disturbed n un-
certain Of themselves and troubled
about affairs. Because we are Great
ures of habit and welded to a wonted
environment, innovations and the dis
ruption Of that to which we are habi-
tuated are calculated to trouble us.
But to cry aloud and sit in gloom be-
cause of the untoward, however much
we may dislike it, is to be mastered
by circumstances and not to master
them. to exhibit weakness and fail in
strength.
Are many to permit themselves to
be overcome by the unexpected and
decide to be wretched together, as
they agree that this or that matter
might be better managed than it has
been or is? There is mighty little
perfection at present in this world
~disordered by war beyond all reck-
oning, but Uncle Sam has been max
ing large progress. Counsels Of I'M
patience or disbursement do not
comport with the American character.
To lose fortitude and fail to tackle
difficult things with the purpose to
puL I1lcIll LII Whatever inlay NC
required to do so, is unpatriotic and
un-American. Is the national cheer
and hun1or only a fair weather trait,
and not an abiding alleviator, always
available to oil the machinery when
the hard going comes? That ques-
ton is being put to the test just now.
National problems reduce them
selves to the individual factor, just as
social and moral questions do. What
are you doing to brighten and serve
your country at this time? Are you
disseminating gloomy views or doing
your utmost to keep the great column
Of citizenship steady and wholeheart-
ed, enduring trouble as firmly as yolr
sons ~are,ready to do. in. the camps or
on the front? If not matching them
in brave spirit, you are a drag and
not a help. AS you come downtown
and move emong your fellows with
a bright morning face, or are wrapped
in gloom and doubt, the quality of
your loyalty is being exhibited. The
spirit that makes the best Of situations
is an earnest of victory in all things.
1t is the national asset, v more
needed than at the start of this diff
ficult world task of ours.
AS there is immediate despotic pow
err in an order sc there is depression
or h~eartening for all about us as we
