out the world, and a complete eX-
perience of the spiritual fruits or

with the universal practices of con-
structive thrift Present abnormal
conditions in this country are due
to waste which must be eliminated
before there can be complete read

conclusions drawn by S. w. Straus,
president American Society for,
Thrift, in his new book. "The His
tory of the Thrift Movement ia
America" which has just been pub

THE war" Mr.. Straus declares,
developed thrift because the prac-
tices of this virtue always are nee
essary in any plan of human bet

cessity for cleaner thinking, better
living, the fuIfillment of higher pur-

thrift.

"If waste Was wrong under any

It is wrong under any circumstance
in these days of peace.
when we are wasting our re-
sources in any manner whatever,
either through destruction or
through restricted production, we
are diminishing the margin be-
tween supply and demand, thus
placing heavier burdens on the very
ones that are least able to bear them
the poor and the underpaid. Such
practices, therefore, deteriorate
rather than elevate standards OF
living among the masses OF the
people, tend to defeat the very pur-
pose for which the war was fought,
foster illiteracy and unrest among
the poor and encourage autocratic
selfishness among the powerful.

Harry Better who had been
standing in the middle OF the floor

self out OF his trance and put his
legs in motion. His face was very
red; he greeted Stephanie elsb-
orately but mutely; he bowed
TO his wife.
REGAINs sELF-CONTROL.
She had managed to recover her
self-control: a deep flush invaded
her pallor. Then, under the ewes
of them all, very quietly she did
thing which confirmed the admira-
tion and respect of everybody there;
she extended her chHd-like hand to
her husband, saying:
1T is nice to see you again, and
I'm sure that there is enough tea
for everybody"
Her hand lay in her husbands
for an appreciable moment; then
he bent over il, lower, to conceal
the nervous working of his features
and touched it with trembling
lips-something he had never be-
fore done in all his life--and pass
ing, by the same token. out of the
free and arid desert of his folly, he
rested. sub jugum. beside the still
waters of eternal truth.
Helen went on toward her room
to shed her clay stained smock;
Stephanie investigated the kettle
which was approaching the boiling
point. and Cleland deposited the
provender on a neighboring table.
Keep away from them" whis-
pered Stephsnie, close beside him
so close that the fragrance of her
hair and breath caressed his cheek.
You darling" he motioned with
his lips.
"Oh, dear. Arc we on such
footing" she asked, with a little
auick-drawn breath OF smiling dis
may.
"Why not"" he said under his
breath. You're awake, now
"Am T."

"I had wonderful sleep last

THE TRAGEDY IN MARRIAGE
TO UNrAITHFUL HUSBAND

Marriage Is not a success because
men do not put the face" value
on their wives that they should.
Home 10 a woman is little less than
Paradise. a place that she tries 10
beautify for the one man'in all the
whole world. In my honest opinion
II is always ninety per cent OF the
men that mar the beauty OF that
Paradise first. IT is occasionally
the case where a woman, sometimes
a wife or mother that strays frcm

should be a certain amount OF for

greatest trouble in married life Is
this Soon after marriage a man be-
gins TO compare his wife with his
mother. or perhaps, his sister;
naturally the short comings are
with the, little girl he swore TO pro-
tect, and he cannot realize that the
same good God made them both.
Again in the past four years there
has been more dissatisfaction owing
to the fact that men allowed their
wives to go out in the world to
earn their living when they should
have been sheltered in the seclusion
of their own homes, whereas these
women went out to work making
enough TO AFFORD them better
clothes, thus allowing the men
more surplus money.
