EACH HAS INDIVIDUAL COLOR
Cities bv No Means Alike In Hues
Which Attract the Eye OF
the Traveller.

"Have you ever noticed how cities
sometimes seem to have their own spe-
cial colors?" asks Julian Street In
american Adventures" the book In
which he and Wallace Morgan re-
corded, in words and pictures, what
they think is the most picturesque part
of our Countrywide South.
"Paris is white and green-even
more so, I think, thar Washington"
Mr.. Street continues.
Chicago is gray; so is London usu-
ally, though I have seen 1t buff at the
beginning of heavy fog. New York
used to be q brown sandstone city,
but is now turning to one Of cream
colored brick and tile; Naples is bril-
liant with pink and blue and green
and white and yellow; while as for
Baltimore, her old houses and her
new are, as Raedeker puts it, Of cheer
full red brick'-not always, Of course,
but often enough to establish the color
Of red brick as the city's predominant
ing hue. And with the red-brick
house-parIicularly the older ones
20 clean white marble steps, on the
bottom one of which, at the side, may
usually be found an Old-fashioned iron
'scraper,' doubtless left over from the
time (not very long ago. when the
city pavements had not reached their
present excellence"

Use Preventives.

Loss of time, money and health
often can be prevented by the use
of some simple, inexpensive prevent
i've measure. At all times, especially
during these days Of influenza you
should never allow yourself to remain
in a rundown physical condition. If
attacked by disease, while your re-
sistance is low you may pay for it
with a long illness or possibly with
life itself.
Most people think doctors only
use is to be sent for In case of emer-
gency, like a fireman, and be brought
running with his pillbox in hand just
in the nick of time to cheat the under
taker. Many first-class funeral. could
have been prevented by pill taken at
the right time. Go to a doctor once
in a while. Let him thump your chest
bone, gaze on the scenic mysteries of
your tongue, count your pulse and tele-
phone your lungs. Neglect of health is
common form of thriftlessness.-

START GRADUATES ON
THE ROAD TO THRIFT
Commencement Exercises in Wis.
consin Schools to Include
Strong Plea for Saving.

With the coming Of Graduation Day,
the schools Of the state will be asked
to help in the exploitation Of the 1919
War Savings and Thrift Stamps, in
that a good speech by good speaker
will be requested as part Of the clos
ing exercises of the school.
That the speaker must have his sub
feet well in hand will be important, as
It is the effect that the speech will
make on the future Of the pupil gradu-
ating which is the important end to at
tain. A poor speech will not inspire
the pupil who is about to go forth
into business, with the right idea, but
a speech full Of pith and point will
have lasting effect, and its young
hearers will benefit by 1t.
Memorial day exercises, held in the
schools Of Wisconsin, embodied the
Thrift idea, just as it did the Memo
rial day feature, for the nationwide
campaign for Thrift is an outgrowth
Of the recent wartime activities, and
It was thought desirable that while the
boys who have gone before us, and
have passed beyond be memorialized
on the one day Of the year set aside
for their public recognition, it was also
thought proper to inculcate in those
who are left the same ideas of Thrift
that were brought home to all when
the boys were overseas. The thrift
idea at that time was for the
boys and the government-now the
idea of Thrift is brought forth for the
person himself and the government.
It Is the same idea-without the sac
fifice. Where before the boys were
benefited, it is now ourselves who gain
from spreading and practicing the big
Thrift idea.

USE CENTURIES-OLD METHODS
CeyIonese Reap and Grind Grain IN
Much the Same Way as in
Biblical Times.

At Handy, Ceylon, the entire method
of planting, reaping and grinding grain
is conducted as a religious ceremony.
The work of carrying the sheaves is
allotted to the women, and 1t Is pic
turesque sight to see them bearing
away the huge bundles of sheayes on
their heads. At eventide teams Of buff
falo as innocent Of muzzles as though
subject to Mosaic law, are brought to
the threshing floor and driven over
this paddy to the accompaniment OF
a community chorus. When well trod-
den by the herd the buffaloes are driv-
en- away to their respective swamp
walSows. The straw is now removed
nv the women from the paddy, and
the latter famed free Of rubbish. The
grain is next tossed and famed on
winnowing trays. entirely by hand.
The methql takes some days. When
completed, and ready for the gran
ary" it is stored in large urns called
''bissa," which are protected by timex
coating of mortar. The "bissa" looks
like a small matched cottage, but II
Is really a miniature silo. When need
ed for breads or curry, the grain Is
ground by the women on huge nat
stones much like the "metate" OF the
Mexicans, another round stone resem-
bling rolling pin In shape, being USED
to crush the grain. It is then cooked
in various ways.

Ancient Timepieces.

During the reign of Edward I. the
first genuine clock in England was
placed in Westminster abbey. 1t must
have been quite wonder, and it re-
NAMED alone in it's glory for many
years.
In the fourteenth century Peter
Lightfoot, a monk Of Glastonbury alb
hey, made a clock, which is now pre-
served in the British museum.
The veteran has been patched up a
little, but it is still in fair, order and
marks time as well as ever DIETER,
probably, for a pendulum has been
added, Notwithstanding its patriarchal
age of five centuries.
Perhaps it did not mark time very
well before 1t got it's pendulum, for
clocks until near the middle Of the sew
enteenth century were by no means
reliable as timekeepers.

New Pay Day Plans.

A new pay day system is to be in
augurated, system which, in the opin-
ion of A. Barton Hepburn, ex-comp-
troller of the United States treasury,
is advisable because "along the line
OF teaching thrift" The new system
will arrange for every working man
and woman to have bank account,
into which his regular salary will be
paid. This will save time for the
worker and help him to save money
by rendering it easy and convenient
to draw out only what is needed. Reg
ular purchase of War Savings Stamps
is helping the working rank and file
to value small savings. 1t is possible
that the employing firm, under the new
arrangement, will pay each worker in
terest on whatever salary money is
left undrawn.
