PRACTICAL ECONOMIES
Some Easy Ways to Make Savings in
tho Home.

With Liberty bonds and war saw
ing stamps and taxes OF all kinds to
meet, we are all delighted to learn OF
any reasonable economies which we
can practice just az well as not. A
true economy, you know, is not going
without what we need. but 1t s rath-
er making the best Of what we have.
Every home collects large quanti-
ties OF paper. Sometimes this can be
sold. and at others part OF 1t at least
amounts to just az much to use at
home. When the children tease for
something to do. give them basin Of
water and a bundle OF newspapers.
Show them how to tear on single
sheets Of newspaper, how to moisten
II thoroughly, and pack II into tight
ball. This is really more fun than
making mud pies and not nearly 30
mussy.
The balls can be tossed into box
and allowed to dry In the sun. They
should be tightly wadded to be just
range and will give heat enough to
boil the tea kettle or to get q light
breakfast, and will take the chill from
the room II burned In the open fire.
Save all the ends and odds Of soap
from both the bath room and the
kitchen until O quantity Of these has
been collected. Melt them In q basin
with three times their own quantity
Of water. Beat In a tablespoonful OF
borax to each pint Of the jelly. and
store In tumblers. This Ii excellent
to use at the sink In the kitchen or
for making o suds to wash out col
ored garments
Keep q stock pot for soup which
will take care Of every leftover scrap
Of meat, gravy and suitable vege-
tables. BY saving and drying celery
tips and parsley. and utilizing all
remnants, O good soup II always
available. especially II one keeps
few chicken or beef bullion cubes on
hand for navoring. When such stock
is used to dilute canned soups. the
result II very delicious and nourtsh-

THE PRAYER OF THE BELL
People of verbena, Alabama, Have
Adopted Pretty Custom.

TCOpIC " NSTpoHot SN'oeeo, ''e'~
Adopted Pretty Custom.
There's q little town about 60 miles
south Of Birmingham on the Louisville
and Nashville called Verbena. The
town is well named. 1t Is redolent OF
the old fashioned southern flower. II
is peopled by simple farm folk. Some
substantial citizens Of Montgomery
keep summer homes there.
There are few sounds about the
place. An occasional mule team rat
ties down a red clay road drawing an
empty wagon to the general stores or
bumps pleasantly back toward the
Chiffon county hills. Occasionally a
gentle wind causes the leaves Of the
oak trees that shade the town to sigh
one Of those sighs Of content that men
breathe after a good meal or a good
sermon, or a well rendered piece of
music.
It's as peaceful a place as can be
found In Alabama or any other place.
1t might we'll have been modelled after
Goldsmith's Sweet Auburn"
But there's a new sound there now.
1t Is the Angelus Of Strife. 1t calls
the people OF verbena not only to
worship but to deeds.
Every afternoon at o'clock the
bell Of the Verbena church rings. 1t
continues to ring for two minutes,
and while its brazen song Is lifted the
people of verbena stand and pray.
With heads uncovered and bowed.
each man, each woman, each child,
each saint and each sinner. repeats
these words:
God bless our president, our SOL
diers and the nation. and guide them
to victory"
When the sound begins, the OBJ
servance of its call Is universal. Men
halt in the street. Wagons are pulled
up on the road. Women rise from
their knitting or pause in the cook
cry. for they have early suppers In
verbena- The plowman halts his work
and each repeats the prayer.
Yerbena calls 1t ''The Prayer Of the
Bell" and It II said that men who
have never been known to pray be-
fore, answer its call dutifully.-

OF labor Is helping 10 increase the
number OF deaths of our soldiers. and
every organization which collectively
or individually brings on n strike OF
laborers Is lengthening the war and
adding enormously % the number Of
men who must suffer the agonies OF
the battlefield and death itself.
If President Wilson would take this
stand before the public, not once
only, but repeatedly, and urge these
facts. for facts they are. upon the peo @.
pie Of the country, we do not believe
1t would be possible for labor unions
to justify themselves in their own
conscience for reducing the hours Of
labor.
We believe, on the contrary. that
there Is enough Of manhood and pa
triotism in the laboring people OF
this country. when once they fairly
understand the issue. to voluntarily
increase their hours OF labor. II We
did not have this faith In the laboring
men Of America we would feel that
there was but little hope for the fu-
ture OF a country where millions OF its
able bodied citizens such as our la
boring people. were wholly unwilling
to sacrifice something for the soldiers
who were dying to save their fami-
lies. while they earned larger wages
than ever before in their lives. and
earned every week far more than the
soldier is paid per month.
These facts should be published by
every paper in America, and reiterat-
ed over and over again. They should
be proclaimed by every public man
who has the nations welfare at heart.
and who is willing to tell the truth
to the public, even II. temporarily. he
loses q few votes thereby.
Have we in public life men Of suf-
fcient integrity. men who dare to go
contrary to the present attitude of n
large body of people and preach this
doctrine. that the laboring man Of the
should by longer hours fill up
the vacuum created by the millions OF
men drawn into our armies?
Upon the answer to this question
may rest the future Of all civilization.
