Loss of Appetite.

AS a general rule there is nothing
serious about loss of appetite, and
if you skip a meal or only eat two
meals day for a few days you will
soon have a relish for your meals
when meal time CONS. Bear in mind
that at least five hours should always
elapse between meals so as to give
the food ample time to digest and
the stomach a period of rest before a
second meal is taken. Then if you
eat no more than you crave and take
reasonable amount of outdoor ex-
ercise every day, you will not need
to worry about your appetite. When
the loss of appetite is caused by con-
stipation as is often the case, that
should be corrected at once. A dose
of Chamberlain's Tablets will do it.

AGENTS CARRYING
MESSAGE OF THRIFT
Harold Braddocls, Director Of savIngo
Division Writes Letter Of Ap-
probation to Each Of Eish-
teen Hundred Workers.

virst-hand information and sugges-
tions as to how to obtain increased
efficiency and prosperity may now be
obtained by women on the farm, in
any part of the country, from the home
demonstration agents of the depart
ment Of agriculture. Entering into the
national savings movement with Eest
that characterizes all their work.
some eighteen hundred Of these home
demonstration agents have been carry
ing the message OF thrift into the farm
houses all over the United States.
In appreciation of their voluntarily
undertaken work, Director Braddock
has written letter to each worker,
Recommendation, which reads in part:
Thrift is primarily the peoples con-
cern. II thrift is to become a perma-
nent national asset, the peoples agen-
cies and organizations must definitely
assume their share Of responsibility
for intoxicating thrift by including 1t
in their program for action. Schools,
churches, business and labor organiza-
tions, fraternal societies and women's
organizations, SIS well as agrlcu tural
workers and agencies, are already un-
dertaking this work and are in close
cooperation with the treasury de-
partment."
According to Mr. Braddock's letter,
plans for the creation Of savings facil-
tiles in the home are outlined as fol
lows:
"1. Habit of saving first some part
Of income for future needs and Of
spending wisely for present needs.
"2. Home betterment fund, to Sc
cure, for example, running water in
the house.
"3. Savings plan for every boy and
girl
"a. Savings fund in government Sc.
curities for every family.
"5. Keeping of accounts to pro-
mote wise spending and to increase
savings.
sc. Safe investment Of savings
CNos. 2, 8, ~ in government securi-
ties until money is needed; War Saw
ings Stamps as desirable invest

BANKS ORDERING
HAND GRENADES
pver 175,ooo Children In Fifth District
Will Be Routing Enemy, Waste,
During Summer Months.

Richmond, va.-According to the
latest available figures over five hun
dred banks in the Fifth Federal Re-
serve District have ordered supplies
of hand grenade penny-savings banks
that are to be used by the children for
summer savings. The total number
of hand grenades that have been or
dered exceeds 175,000.
The plan of the hand grenade bank
originated in the Treasury Depart
ment, and the banks are being dis
tributed in this district by the War
2.oan Organization here. Every school
child under the age of seventeen years
may, by applying at the local bank, re-
eeive one of these hand grenade
penny-banks as loan for the vaca-
eion period. If, during the summer,
enough money is saved to purchase
one or more War Savings Stamps the
bank becomes the property Of the
child.
The banks are made out Of real hand
grenades that were to have been used
against the Huns. With percussion
cap and high explosive removed, and
slots cut to receive and take out coins,
they are now doing service against
the enemy, waste, as banks for saw
mgs..
School officials all over the district
are enthusiastic about the plan, as
they feel that it will not only keep
alive but strengthen the thrift ideals
that already have been implanted in
the minds of the children.
j. II. Binford, assistant superinten-
dent Of public schools here, has en-
dorsed the scheme, in a recent letter
expressing the hope that all the banks
in the district would cooperate by get
ting supplies OF the hand grenades, as
the school children are enthusiastic
about securing them.

EASY TO SAVE

By the same token that the best way
to have anything is do it yourself, the
best way to get ahead in the world
is save regularly and invest wisely.
Your children may be buying Thrift
Stamps but ths nickels and dimes and
quarters they are able to save won't
buy a. new automobile or home or a
cultivator. The money to do that will
not be saved unless you save it.
It's easy enough to save II you do
it the W. S. 9. way. Quarters planted
in Thrift Stamps grow into War Saw
ings Stamps and the interest makes
them grow like rain does summer
flower. Save Tor that Happy opDortu
nifty. II you're not in q War Savings
Society-get IN one. Do with ao
crowd.

American policy and points out that
a revision Of the treaty of peace can
only come through the League OF
Nations.
"When Germany is received into
the league" he says, "she can hope
for world order checking imperial.

together across the frontiers of

such a policy would lead US to the side

There alone are funds to be found

Count Won Bernstorff says that So

with that country they must convince
Americans not only that militarism
is dead, but that new Germany has nc
