UNCLE SAM IS
 PAYING THE BILL
It Runs Into Billions of Dollars, But Those Billions Went In- stead of Millions of Lives.

Uncle Sam has raised for his war chest an aggregate of $17,852, ,O00, ,00O through the medium of the four Lib erty Loans. Shortly he is to ask for $5,000, ,O0O, 900 more.
 This Is needed for the completion of his war obligations
 Already some $20,0OO, O,OOO, 900 has been expended. Most of this next loan will have been spent before 1t Is in Uncle Sam's hands. For Uncle Sam is clo, -ng up his contracts, paying his contracts, paying his bills, as rapid bills, as rapidly as possible.
 The war will cost America more than any of the other allied nations. But they bore the brunt of the blood toll. Their greatest cost was in hu- man life.
 Whefe 11gsuBs of life ran in- to the thousands, theirs went into the millions.
 And but for Uncle Sam's participa ton. with his weight of men and money. the blood toll for all of us would have been inconceivably more staggering.
 So whatever the financial cost America got off cheaply. Between dollars and lives there is no compar ison. Dollars simply don't count They will come back and the lives never will.
 If, six months ago, we had known that by lending the government $5, O0O,000,0OO we could have saved 500, 900 lives, we would have furnished il overnight
 But Uncle Sam's obligations stood, though the armistice was signed and the war ended. He stands to pay the bills. He must pay them
 We must help. It is our obligation also. Those doughboys fought for us for YOU and ME, as much as for Uncle Sam. We are all one
 And we must pay those bills; bills for provisions, for munitions, for med ical supplies and transportation, fol soldiers pay and soldiers insurance
 And when the victorious Fifth Liberty Loan comes along take yom share
 Meantime save up to that end.

GOLDEN TOWER OF SEVILLE
Its Marvellous Beauty, When Seen in the Setting Sun, Graphically
 Depicted by Writer.

As the sun is descending it Is en- chanting to glance back from this place in the direction of the city; the prospect is inexpressibly beautiful. Yonder in the distance, high and enor- nous, stands the Golden tower, now used as a tool house, but the principal bulwark of the city in the time of the MCors. It stands on the shore of the river. like giant keeping watch, and Is the first edifice that attracts the eyes of the voyager as he moves up the stream to Seville. On the other side, opposite the tower, stands the noble Augustine convent. the orna- ment of the faubourg of Triana, whilst between the two edffices rolls the broad Guadalquivir, bearing on it's bosom a f1otilla of bafks from Cata- Ionia and Valencia. Farther up is seen the bridge of boats which tray erse the water. The principal object of this prospect, however, Is the Gold en tower, where the beams of the set ting sun seem to be concentrated as In the focus, so that it appears built of pure gold, and probably from that circumstance received the name 1t now bears. Cold, cold, must be the heart which can remain insensible to the beauties of this magic scene. to do Justice to which the pencil of a Claude himself were barely equal. Often have shed tears of rapture whilst I beheld it, and listened to the thrush and the nightingale piping forth their melodious songs in the woods. and in- haled the breeze laden with the per fume of a thousand orange gardens of Seville:

From the great cities of the coasts to the farthermost, isolated sect1on> of the backwoods, the schoolhouses of New England are being decorated with the Stamp, Stamp, Stamp poster of the War Savings Stamp Committee of New England. It was intended strictly and exclusively for the children, but so many requests for it are coming in to the Boston head quarters it is clear that the grown folk appreciate it quite as much as the youngsters
 The poster is such a jolly affair you would know, just to look at it that whoever designed it was full of fun. You are not at all surprised to learn that the smiles are chasing each other over her face most of the time. There are hardly ( minutes together when either they are net doing that or one Is not lurking about ready to break through. Miss Dorothy Clogston is the artist, and she graduated from the High School of Practical Arts in Boston last June. She made the poster for war poster contest at the school last year and left it behind her when -she went away.
 It was there that it was found by E the War Savings Committee of New England on the last day of school be l, fore the Christmas vacation, and it was immediately carried off to head quarters, The next question was where to- find the young artist, for she had disappeared ill enc of the thou sands of offices that go to make up big city. The master of the school and the head of the department were appealed to, and they ran Dorothy down, as it were, to an office not far from the War Savin5s Stamps head quarters. Everybody in that office was almost as excited as Dorothy was when the news went abroad that the War Savings Committee wanted Dor othS's poster, and her employers were willing enough to grant her leave of absence while she made few changes necessary from a commer- cial standpoint and to bring the idea up to date.

PSYCHOLOGY AND THE
 FAMILY MENU.
How a Farmers Wife Reduces Meat Consumption Secretly.

A bright farm housewife, who man- tHges to buy at least one War Savings Stamp a week, tells how she does it by inducing her family to especially like what she prepares for them. She does not tell them they cannot afford fresh meat at present prices-to do so would only whet their appetite for it. They do not even realize that she is not buying as much meat as ever.
 She has cut down the quantity con- stunned by substituting other appetiz- ing things and makes the meat she uses go farther by serving less ex- pensive things with it. Scalloped po- tatoes and other vegetables are popu- lar with the family, vegetable salads with cream mayonnaise never go beg ging, and fried or grilled apples are tasty. with veal or pork. This wo- mans larder is we'll supplied with green vegetables preserved by the cold pack process.
 Polenta is a ;favorite dish-mush favored with cheese and onions, fried crisp or served. cold in slices. Maca- roni with peanut butter or tomato sauce or fried onions means two or three 'helpings. all around, she claims. Vegetable stew, with dumplings or toast, stfips- she makes so appealing that the children prefer it to meat dishes..- Dainty biscuits or buttered toast, with preserved fruit and milk or cocoa, selves the supper problem for them.
 Even farmerfolk have to go lighter than usual on butter and eggs, but occasional omelettes, plain or baked, find their way to this woman's table She tries to make everything especial ly delicious, and resorts occasionally to psychology, remarking casually that some favorite dish will be served as soon as she finds time to prepare it, plan which works like magic She says her family Is better nour ished than ever, and by her clever management she buys many War Say ings Stamps.

EVERYONE's EFFORT COUNTS.

Although the fighting is ended, the support of everyone is needed by the United States government to meet it's
 var obligations, to maintain its troops
 n comfort abroad, to bring them back
 home, and to discharge all promises made to every soldier and to his de-
 pendents. Moreover, the purchase of government securities by millions of people, instead of a few makes these millions actually financial partners in
 the government. It is privilege of the individual-in fact, it is the essence of real democratic government. A person who is partner of Uncle Sam is more interested in the government 8 doings and is less open to insidious suggestion than one ML>-S-no- sonal stake in his country. War Saw ings Stamps are very practical promo ters of Americanization, make better Americans of our native born. and make permanent Americans of our for eign-born element. Everyones effort and everyone's savings and everyone $ War Savings Stamps count.

HiohIy Ornamented Knives.

There is an interesting set of table knives dating from the first decade of the seventeenth century, of which IA are in the Victoria and Alber. museum at London and others in Scotland, which have carved and jew eled ivory handles representing some of the royal sOvereigns of England. Those in London come to an end with the somewhat unremarkable visage of James I, and one can imagine that they were, broadly speaking, fairly -T,ETT -ffk enesscs.- The handles are SC contrived that they would not, one thinks, be uncomfortable to hold and these knives certainly have the advan- tage of presenting fine object les son in English history. The steel blades of these knives are damascen- ed with gold at the neck.

[ Miss Dorothy insists thatn it is serious poster. She had serious subject and she wanted to Resent 1t so seriously that after peopH looked at the poster they would go land buy War Savings Stamps, she said, and pointed to the sailor boy with his de- termined way and importansasair, as proof that she had accomplisH what she wished.

 She doesn't know why she CIV the poster just the way she dfu, Miss Dorothy says, the lines just seemed to come. She does do naturalistic things, she adds, but when she draws the way she likes to she draws like that.

nearer the battlefront, and the pale 2 American lad ~asked for her in vain.
 He thought of her lovely face each , day that he lay on his cot, and after award. when he was taken across the Schannel and down into sunny Bourne 4mouth by the sea to convalesce with g'many other soldiers he always watched
 for that face among the crowds that
 passed him by. And always he was
 sure that he would offer her those
 thoughts, whether or not she had
 found the penny.
 . For Lady Anne there was little {. gains for thoughts. Her task was to cheer the last hours of many brave lads from her own country and take
 what messages she might from their ( lips.

RECREATION AND ACCUMU.
 LAYTON. ...
To Save Systematically is Not to
 Eliminate all Joy of Living.

We are all saving-it is the fashion: but truth compels the statement that many of us do not know how to do it without feeling that we are missing something. We make wonderful re. solves to sacrifice this, that or the other indulgence, to buy Thrift or War Savings Stamps
 Heroically we resolve to eliminate something we have enjoyed or been benefited by, as if that were the only thing to do. It may be that the 'movies' have been abandoned by some one who had found in them 8 change of thought when weary. For period of weeks they have been ta- booed, and the Thrift Stamps have accumulated merrily, but the saver experiences a tension and strain with. out the customary relaxation.
 Some day realization comes, reac. tion follows, and then-farewell to thrift. Instead of wholly cutting out either the favorite amusement or thrift, why not balance things a little more evenly, divide the income into proper proportions-food, shelter, clothing, recreation, improvement charity, savings, etc. | The possession of money for itself is not an incentive to one who would get the best from life, but 1t should be impressed upon every child that say. ing will bring the best things in the years to come, therefore thrift is nee essary. Many wonderful opportuni. ties have been missed because of lack of financial ability to take advantage of them.
 Once the thrift habit is formed, op portunities appear. Prices vary, and a few cents saved here and there may be added to ones store without alter. ing the conditions of budget. The possibilities of left-overs and make. overs are unlimited when thrift be. comes a habit. By saving systemati. cally and spending wisely, one may en- joy life to the utmost The possession of a goodly number of War Savings Stamps will also add materially to peace of mind and buoyancy of spirits.

Lady Anne's
 CrosS' By DOROTHY DOUGLAS

 The soldiers called her Nurse Anne. her friends called her Lady Anne. and she called herself merely Anne Gay. Conventionally speaking. she was Lady Anne Margaret Clevedale her young husband, Major Reginald Cllevedale. had been one of the first of his regiment to fall ut the front in France and the young widow had gone strenuously into training for Red Cross nurse.
 Nurses are born, Nurse Anne. said poor, pale soldier, as he lay propped up on his bed in Il base hos pital somewhere near Paris.
 We're all bOrn-we all die. Anne answered with whimsically sweet smile as she moved pillow under the patients arm. That's the one sure statement We dare make, isn't itT' The pale American lad nodded. "l Scan make one more sure bet, Nurse sAnne. I shall live long enough to get back and have one more crack at S-those Huns! '"

"All right" she said gayly, when she faced him again, land I'll go on my rounds. Perhaps some time I'll bring you a good Amer -ican penny and buy some of your thoughts with it."

What Old Glory Means.

When you hang out the colors spare a minute to think of it-of the places 1t has been, of the things 1t means.
 It has given new hope to the proud and to the poor everywhere in this world. It is the symbol and the achievement of the two noblest hu- man attributes-strength and compass sion. It springs from the enduring good that Is in the heart of humanity. It stands for the liberation of all men.
 And it can never fail, 1t can never be humbled, because that motive lies deep in every human consciousness, as permanent, as sure, as inevitable as tears or laughter or hope or faith in God.-Philadelphia Evening Public Ledger.
