PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND THRIFT.

The school authorities of the country were urge to join in the Government campaign to make thrif a happy national habit in telegram sent by Secre tary Glass of the Treasury Department to the Natona Association in convention at Chicago Secretary Glass asked that the teaching of thrift made part of the school curriculum during 1919 The telegram read as follows:
 "To the members of the National Educa tional Association assembled at Chicago wish to extend the sincere appreciation of the Treasury Department for the assist rendered by the members of the teach ing profession in the Liberty Loan and War Savings campaigns during the past year.
 Besides being of immediate value in meeting the financial needs of the Govern ment these campaigns have been of a perma- nent value to the country in encouraging habits of wise spending, intelligent saving and investment These habits of saving and patriotism encouraged and stimulated by ss the necessities of the war, will have a great permanent value to the country if applied to its development in time of peace
 "The teachers of the country by their daily contact with the children who to be its future citizens do much to infu- ence them in teaching good citizenship and thrift. It is therefore my request that the school authorities throughout the country incorporate the teaching of thrift in the school curriculum for 1919"

Ter First Kiss


 Hazard (ky) Herald)
 The following is quoted from an English book of the Victorian period. which was supposed to be quite prlm, presenting a fine confessional of the virgin emotions of young girl. ''The first time she was kissed she felt like vase of roses swimming in honey and eau de cologne. She also felt as if something was running through her nerves on feet of dia- monds, escorted by several little Cupids in chariots drawn by angels shaded by honeysuckles, and the whole spread over with melting rain bows."'

Lent Is Good for the Body as We'll as the Soul.
Clos Angeles Herald.) ]

Yesterday was the first Sunday of Lent. Did you observe it? There is not only religion great nonsense behind the idea of the observance of Lent Isn't 1t a good time to stop awhile in our headone hurry, to think and remember and hope, and, if we have not miserably forgotten how, pray?
 Lent is good thing for the body as well as for the soul It is tyrant, this body think we rule and, if we do not keep it in order it will rise LID and master us.
 Is it not good thing, once year, take the hody by the throat and say: This thing you shall not have; that thing you must do. I'm master here
 And when, in all the world was Lent needed as if is needed today? When did the souls of men before so very TOT some comfort some hope faith which will help them to bear the apalling misery and strangling anxiety of this year of turmoil and up- heaval?
 This is the second week of Lent All over tho city there special services time every day How can it hurt any of lay aside for inst one little while the folly and the vanity and the cruelty of the world and live for little space as some day will wish that had lived?
