LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT
By S. W. STRAUS
PrejiJent American Society for Thrift
yt*ars, with the
exception of brief intervals, it is
hard to impress on the people the
value and necessity of thrifty prac
tices, but when a great national
calamity arises thrift is at once resort
ed to. In the present Kuropean situa
tion how often do we find that the
position and strength of this nation
or that are straightened by the thrift
of the people. Realizing the neces
sity of thrift, a great campaign to en
courage systematic economy is being
inaugurated in Canada by the Min
ister of Finance. A special commit
tee of three prominent Canadian
financiers is assisting. One of the
members of this committee recently
said. "VYe can’t make people ftve, but
we can tell them that hy saving their

NOT HER GOOD POINTS. ANYWAY
"virtues, like temperance and morality,
industry and peacefulness, have their
chief source and support in men’s
hearts. They do not consist in absti
nence from certain acts which can be
compelled by law. They mean self
restraint and self-devotion.”
President Fitzpatrick of the Chicago
Federation of Labor was quoted by the
papers, the day after the great pre
paredness parade in that city, as say
ing that President Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor, “did
not indorse the paid parade of the big
business crooks.”
And still the people rule!

many. The people of Canada do
not know what it means to save
money.”
The duty of the earner at present
is to save a larger proportion of his
wages than he has been saving in the
past. Saving money, of course, is
only one feature of thrift. Thrift of
health, thrift of time, and thrift of
energy, are just as important as
thrift of money. One advantage of
thrift lies in the fact that there is
nothing too insignificant to be saved.
In Brooklyn, New York, we find a
striking example of the value of
thrift in little things. Tinfoil is col
lected by orphan asylums and hos
pitals. This is sold from time to
time, so the little inmates in the or
phan asylums are given an occasional
delightful day’s outing from the pro
ceeds, while the portion which goes
to the hospitals is used to buy beds
for their poor sick inhabitants. This
is a wonderful instance of the value
of thrift. It serves a manifold pur
pose. Tinfoil, such as that which
usually comes in cigarettes, candy, to
bacco, tooth paste tubes, .etc., is ordi
narily thrown away. The person who
saves it for these charitable purposes
thus becomes a practicer of thrift,
and the orphans and hospital charges
receive a wonderful help. Also
the sum total of the country’s waste
is, to a small degree, eliminated.

PITHIATISM
(From St. Louis Post-Dispatch.)
The war is responsible for the coin
ing of this new word, says The Paris
Figaro, in an editorial commenting on
certain psychic conditions that have
come under the observation of the psy
chopathic department of the army
medical staffs. It says in part:
“This new disease, while not claim
ing many victims, has yet caused spe
cific attention and treatment, which is
invariably effective. There are no
deaths from it, nor a percentace of in
curables. Patients suddenly become
mute, deaf, blind, paralytic, or there is
a ‘splitting' headache. A few words,
coupled with an innocent injection,
usually correct the evil."
The method is described thus: “First
the physician examines the patient
thoroughly to find whether there is a
physical trouble. If none is found the
patient is sent to the "mythomanes”
ward, where the staff major has a se
rious interview with the' sufferer. This
interview usually relieves the hysteri
cal or neurotic condition, and the in
valid goes back to his post. More in
veterate cases are treated with cold
water showers, cold water hypodermic
injections, and a few days of absolute
fasting in solitary confinement, with
plenty of clean linen and amiable
smiles. Still more persistent cases are
subjected to the Babrinski method,
"which never fails.” The patient is
lovingly conveyed on a stretcher to a
dark room which bristles with electri
cal effects; and then the attendants
tenderly pass a current through the in
valid's body, not strong enough to pro
duce exacerbations, but .Just strong
enough to make him dread a repetition
of the ordeal. The cure usually Is com
plete with the first application. To
make sure that they were right the
medical department made a test case,
which was carried from the lowest to
the highest court, with the final de
cision by the assizes in these words:
“No soldier has the right to with
draw his services from his country,
which is entitled to them, and has the
right to employ any uninjurious means
to verify any excuse that may be of
fered to support such withdraway, and
if really incapicated from neurotic or
similar causes the soldier is compelled
to submit to any treatment to which
the department may subject him with
a view to again making him fit for ser
vice.”
The Figaro distinctly denies that
such cases are merely fictitious, and

BRITISH DEFEAT A
FORCE OF 6,000
MOHAMMEDANS
London.- —A battle has occurred on
the frotier of India in which a British
force was engaged with six thousand
tribesmen, the war office announced
today. The tribesmen were defeated
and withdrew- with a loss of 100 dead.
The engagement occurred near the
boundary between India and Afghanis
tan. The British took the ofensive.
The attackers were made up of Mo
hammedans.
The British employed airplanes
which never before have been used in
military operations on the India fron
tier.
Great Artillery Activity.
Berlin. (Via Sayville.) British
troops made another attempt to break
through the German lines on both
banks of the Ancre River, says the war
office in an announcement given out
this evening. The attack was pre-’
ceded by enormous artillery activity,
but failed, says the war office.
This action came after British ad
vances northeast of Beaumont-Hamel
and north of Beaucourt last night, ac
cording to the British announcement.
French attacks near Sailly-Saillizel
last night broke down under the Ger
man fire, according to the German re
port. On the other hand the French
report a repulse of an attack by a
strong German detachment on the
French trenches at Biaches.
Military authorities in Berlin are
quoted as saying that the Transylvania
campaign is to be the scene of the de
cision in the war. The German troops
in western Wallachia are reported by
Berlin to be making good progress and
scoring more gains in the Alt and Jiul
valleys. The Rumanians announced
that violent fighting continues in these
two valleys, but say they made pro
gress near Dragoslavele.
The Serbians and French continue
to close in upon Monastir, the import
ant objective oni the Macedonian front.
Serbians report the capture of Trench
es east of the Cerna while the French
reached the outskirts of Kenana, Ber
lin, however, declares entente attacks
on the plains south of Monastir were
defeated with heavy losses and that
the Germans recaptured a height tak
en by the Serbians near Chegal. New
and violent fighting on the Macedon
ian front was reported from Berlin yes
terday.
Only minor operations on the Rus
sian front are reported by the Ger
man war office, but the Russians
claim they have driven back Austro-
German attacks in the Carpathians.
"tVere you in any great action dur
ing the war?”
"Yes. That’s the reason there is so
little action in me now.” said the old
soldier who had a wooden leg.—Bos
