LIBERTY WEEK

QThe batlehonts are not all in France. This
week they front every home and flank every
farm. We are fighting for victory, or running
away from the conflict, just in proportion as we
accomplish the work that is ours to do.
GOm boys at the front can not feed and finance themselves.
They are fighting in foreign lands that we may not have to
fight on our own soil. They are making the great sacrifice
that government Of the people, for the people and by the
people, may not perish from the earth; that our children and
our chldren's children may not have to live in an armed camp; that a
military form of government may not be forced upon us: that we m
remain citizens and not become subjects; that we may have to pay only
our own war costs instead of all the costs of our foes as well.
This week is set aside for financing the war. The call comes from the
government to every citizen, to respond in accordance with his ability to
respond-to the rich and the poor, the patriot and the shirker, to bear his
due portion of the costs of war.
EVERY citizen owes allegiance to the flag. This is the week to show his
allegiance in a tangible form. Some can do more than others, because
they have more to do with. The government asks no one to do more than
his share, nor expects him to do less. Buy a bond. It's your protection.
The government is just as strong as the faith and courage of its people:
just as rich as the combined wealth of its people; will progress in war lust
as fast as the sinews of war are supplied, and will succeed or fail just in
proportion to the sacrifices the people are willing to make to win success.

Church Gives Every Man.

There is 4 little French church in
the heart of Philadelphia which has
given and given to the great world
strife, ever since the war began, life
blood and widows mites, and in the
face of poverty is still giving, giving,
according to a Philadelphia correspond
ent.
Not one man between seventeen and
fifty years cid remains in the member
ship of the little church of st. Sauveur
All are at the front, some are with
the French army, some are with the
United States forces, but all have gone.
All are fighting for the same great
world ideal.
They have left mothers, wives and
little ones who do not complain, but
give to the last penny, not only for
those they love, but for the relief of
all suffering.
Nearly all of them are working peo-
pie, but, in addition to the struggle
for bread and butter, they have found
the way to adopt and support four or
phans in France. In addition to the
incessant knitting and sewing for the
little war orphans here these brave
women have also found time to make
and send countless wooden comforts
and relief supplies to the war victims
In France and Belgium, the orphans
and the wounded. They also subscribed
to the starving Armenfans.

CID CHURCH WITH A HISTORY

is not generally known, states Il Lon

to the fact that it is the mother church
Of all the royal parishes, and the parish
church for buckingham palace.
Henry VIII built the first church to

from 1926, and its chief claim to ar
chitectural distinction is that it pos

Grecian portico in London. In the
older church some of the children of
Charles II were christened.
George l presented it with an organ
on which Handel frequently played
Nell Gwynne and Jack Sheppard were
buried in the ancient vaults. 1t was

where the National Portrait Gallery

beauty as she was selling her oranges.

ALGERIA'S WINE CROP YIELD
Product, Distinctly inferior to That OF
Previous Season, Will Total Only
About 159, 500, 800 Gallons.

The wine crop of Algeria IS distinctly
inferior to that of year ago. The Of
fetal statistics of the vintage will not
be issued for several weeks; but, ac-
cording to the general estimate, the
yield approximates 100000 hecoli-
ters Q5S,5O2, 300 gallons). compared
with S,7S1, 2G6 hecoIiters (231 ,9T5, 100
gallons) in 1916.
The seasons unusual dryneSS, which
lasted from spring until the full ma
turity of the grape, states Commercial
Reports, has resulted in a wine appre-
Gladly stronger. PhyllOXera and other
plant diseases did considerable dam
age to the vines, and the late SiroccOS
further tended to reduce the output.
The lack of labor was also q handi
cap, especially in the department of
Oran, which was unable to draw upon
Morocco to any extent.
Prices range much higher and the
return to the wine producers promises
to be good. Transportation facilities
to France-which country takes
large percentage of the crop-are far
from normal, and there is likely to be
Il marked shortage in barrels and bot
les.

Effects of the Sun,

City jewellers and those who do not
lead a constant outdoor life should
avoid exposing unclothed portions of
their bodies to the bright sunlight for
a prolonged period. According to the
Journal of the American Medical Asso-
citation, German specialists who have
ilyesti l 20 ted the subject say that the
carnage that frequently follows the
popular pastime of lying for hours in
the sun on the sand at German beach
eS is not merely sunburn, but head
ache and often meningitis. Those who
are inclined to be nervous are more
quickly affected by undue exposure to
the rays of the sun, and the anemfc
and nervously predisposed city indoor
workers are the very persons who are
most fond of sun baths. A tanned and
vascular skin offers a better protection
against the suns rays, but the city
dweller'S skin is neither augmented nor
vascular Instead of being benefited.
the nervous are rendered more nerv-
Gus. and when the summer is over they
are tanned, but otherwise in poorer
condition than in the spring.

Dress in London.

Something might be said of the
changes that three years of war have
brought about in our clothes. says the
Manchester Guardian. Evening dress
is not abolished, bat it is becoming
much less customary in theaterS and
restaurants, and people coming up to
London who used to bring evening
clothes with them no longer do so.
Stiff white collars are disappearing,
and the soft collar is Worn by all
classes. The democratic process had
already set in at the house of com
mons. One remembers the shock that
Mr. kpir Hardie'S cloth cap created
on its first appearance there, but it
has advanced Immensely since the war
began Frock coats are in small and
diehard minority. Spats are on their
last legs. Top hats survive mirac-

members their enduring qualities, so
that their persistence is only form

War Curbs Suicide.

Sir Bernard MuIlet, registrar gen.
eral of the British empire, announced
recently that suicide had fallen off
strikingly in England since the begin
ming of the war. The explanation is
that the national unity of feeling, the
subordination of self and the sharing
Of sympathy on all sides makes the in
dividuaI's personal injuries less I'M
pOrtant and induces him to forget his
own desperation. Personal indulgences
and excuses of immortality, causes Of
insanity and melancholia, are curbed
and minimized naturally by the econ
omies enforced upon the populace.
Discipline in eating, dressing, working
has also q beneficial effect in keeping
the mind sane and free from morbid
broodings.

Antiquity Of Jerusalem,

The wonderful antiquity of Jerusa-
lem has only been appreciated in re-
cent years. Up to 50 years ago, OBJ
serves the Chicago Examiner, il was
thought that Jerusalem was of little
Importance as city until it became
the "City of David" king of Israel.
But with the discovery Of the Tel-el-
Amarna tablets in Egypt new light
was shed upon the history of the sa-
cred city. There were found six letters
written by the king of Jerusalem to
the Pharaoh of Egypt, dating from the
fifteenth century +. C. The name Of
this king of Jerusalem was Abd-hiba
or, as some scholars read the cunei-
form, Abd-sadak, and he writes to the
Pharaoh beseeching him to send SOL
diers, almost as the Turks must have
sent messages to Germany asking for
re-enforcements that they might save
the day.
