Biblical War Bread.

The Scriptures give us many lessons in thrift, according to a writer in Thrift Magazine. Ezekiel warned the children of Israel that during the siege of Jerusalem they would have to be thrifty He said "Take thou also unto thee wheat and barley and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and titches, and put them in one vessel and make thee bread thereof. ."-Ezeklel 40. The Bt ble shows that Ezekiel ordered the children of Israel to eat their meat by weight, and even thus only from time to time."

Canton is one 0T the oldest cities in China.

Be cause of this the city Is sometimes re- ferred to in Chinese classics as the City of Rams" or the City of Genii or Angels"
