A Little Talk on Thrift.
BY $. W. Straus. President Ameri-
can Secretly for Thrift.

While economic conditions are i'm
proving ia this country, world wide
conditions generally have not materi
ally improved during the four years
that have elapsed since the war.
America is today the most powerful
nation in the world, and this exalted
position carries with il all the rrspon-
siOilltles of leadership. Perhaps this
country c0uld fulfil these duties to
the best advantage through financial
channels BY financial assistance is
not meant the donation of funds.
But it is suggested that the United
States stand ready to make loans to
other nations provided these loans are
safeguarded as to interest and princi-
pal, and that the proceeds are used
for purely constructive purposes.
Before any such foreign loans could
be negotiated, however, it would be
necessary for all foreign nations to
reduce their army and navy forces to
peace footing, such as we have in
the Ouited States at the present time.
Disarmament of this nature would
tighten the economic burdens of the
civilized world and this saving could
be used in paying the Indebtedness to
this country. As long as the smou!d-
ering fires of war are kept alive
through the spirit of hatred and
jealousy no nation as a matter of self
protection can disarm with safety
until the other nations do the same.

MuskeIlunge Going Fast.


) An expert who has devoted years to
tte propagation of muskelIunge states
that this mighty game fish, once so
numerous in Wisconsin waters, Is
very neart the point of determination
is doomed unless something radical
is done soon to prevent the calamity.
The system of treating muskellunge
eggs through artificial aid in pro
pagatlon, he states, has been per
fected to such an extent that at least
- per cent Of them can he hatched
Thus problem which for many years
proved very difficult has been solved
rather satisfactorily. e possibly too
late, tor new and serious problem
has arisen difficulty in getting eggs
to hatch, inasmuch as muskrllunge
have become very scarce.
Those who understand what this
means do not need to think twice TO
reach the conclusion that effective
measures should be taken at once to
save the muskellunge One thing of
prime Importance IS To make sure that
muskellunge that will supply eggs
for Matching fry with which to restock
Wisconsin waters are permitted to
grow. There is one way open to
this and that is to close "a number of
muskellunge lakes for a period of
from three to i've years.
In this way the muskellunge that
remain in these lakes would gain a
chance to multiply and grow. A
larger supply of muskellunge eggs for
matching fry that could be planted in
other lakes would be provided.
Ina direct way too, the plan would
improve fishing IN lakes not closed
for, in many cases, the muskellunge
would naturally migrate to other
lakes through connecting creeks aud
would ascend to still other lakes
through rivers as well as creeks.
This plan of closing number of
muskellunge lakes could be carried
out in an endless circle. With the re.
opening of the first lakes closed, a
similar number of lakes that mean
time had remained open could be
closed for from three to live years,
and so on until lakes that had been
closed and then re-opened could be
closed again.
Doubtless it would be good plan
to arrange to keep closed, in turn, at
least one muskellunge lake which
drains directly into one of the dozen
or more large streams which muskel-
lunge inhabit.
To raise muskellunge fry on a scale
at all adequate would be an expensive
process even if eggs in sufficient num-
Der were made available Sufficient
funds for propagating muskellunge
and the other most desirable kinds of
game fish are not provided now and
cannot be provided except by provid-
ing that adult male residents shall
pay license fees for game fishing
This is the anglers one opportunity
TO perpetuate this sport. The main
tenance of fishing has become chiefly
a question of financing the work that
is necessary.
The situation is critical. There is

CIGARETTE SMOKING

declares the habit in many instances
: is passing beyond a pleasure and be-
coming a vice.
The absorption of nicotine, which
is the danger element in the matter,
the correspondent proceeds, produces
q condition of nervous distress which
is frequently painful to observe. From
this proceed palpitations and exhaus-
ton and outbursts of emotion. Wom-
ems delicate nervous organism was
certainly not intended to endure large
doses of this poison. Her functions as
a mother cannot but be interfered with
when she INDUCES in it to excess"
1t is the habit of many English
women and girls to smoke cigarettes
in public, and not few may be seen
in restaurants and hotels smoking
long, slender pipes. Women's organi-
cations and social improvement socie-
ties have begun crusade against this
''inelegant and unwomanly practice.
