GERMAN HOTEL KEEPERS
DENY SERVING LEFT-OVERS

BERLIN, Feb. 22.-The German
Hotel Proprietors' Association is

Cologne restaurant keeper has been
fined $4,000 marks for having used
coffee grounds to make coffee ice
cream" and because OF the testi-
mony of another restauranteur that
the serving again of milk, pastry
and other things which customers
supposedly have not touched is Il
common practice.

dent, has issued an angry denial
Of the statement of the restau.
ranteur, declaring ii has worked
great injury to the entire restaurant
business of Germany. The asso-
citation asserts that the cases cited
are not typical of hotels generally
in the country.

the true definition OF Christians,
there would not be enough nails
to nail a shirt tail down to pew

So long as hatred and Jealousy
and personal dIslikes run free, so
long will hyprocisy exist. This
thing OF going to church (any
church) and shifting your nose at
other sinners and telling where
they are short and what they should
do, just so long do you belong to
their class, as you Judge them.
Look up your dictionaries you
self;styled Christians and see what
constitutes a true Christian, how
many Of you then would fill the bill
I dare say again, were the Christ
to visit this wicked earth that We
live in, and walk into a congrega
ton at church, and make himself
known each and every one present
would ask him home and par
take Of dinner, ETC., he would theT
look the crowd over and aftel

that the time has come when patience ceases to

COMING TO ECONOMY

APAN hints that at some time in the near future
when opportunity offers, she will invite the
salary ever SO SMALL save little Of it II he is
willing to make the effort and honestly try.
Some banks are offering budgets to their patrons
to take home for confederation. These
budgets declare tho amounts which should be
saved from corresponding salary, and apportion
the various expenditures so that the figures arc
readily clear to tho person who studies them.
There can be but little saving without. system.
Money has habit Of getting away from people
before they know 1t.
The banks that have presented to their patrons
budget system have been gratlfled at tho number
OF responses which they have received, for almost
everybody Is anxious to save and go ahead II the
way ts but shown Savings accounts have climbed
very perceptably at those banks that have mado
special effort to interest people. Some banks are
employing budget expert to assist those patrons
who have especial difficulties which are discour-
aging the savings of money. Many of the patrons
have received excellent and helpful advice from
these experts who have made study Of expend-
lures.
The American nation is wasteful one but the
day Of waste is over. 1t passed out, practically
with this generation It is almost within the past
twenty years that food of any kind or quantity

hams. whole dozens Of eggs, baked pies and cakes
by the half Dozen. Food was mostly raised ION

all they could, and the rest wasted Our parents
owned their own homes and there was but little
talk Of extravaganza in connection with the rental
of houses and apartments. Clothing was bought
in fall and spring. and not every month in the
year, with ginghams edgIng out furs in February,
and velvet putting organdle to flight In August
Extravaganza in dress was at a minimum. Since
then this country has scaled the heights Of extray-
aganee and is now back at point where retrench-
ment must begin. Most people are honestly glad Of
helpful advice from their bankers about increasing
savings The success OF those banks which are
pointing out the possibilities along this line is proof
