W. Straus, Presi dent of American Thrift Society. New York, May 3, 1917. "One of the greatest dangers that confront us at this moment is misguided thrift," declares a statement issued today by S. W. Straus, president of the Ameri can Society for Thrift. "In our efforts to be patriotically economical, we find ourselves going to extremes in the opposite direction, which is just as great a menance as of the hour. We are going to con serve our resources and increase our Vfood supply in a way that will as tonish the world, but in doing this we stand face to face with economic hard ships unless each individual is gov erned by common sense, prudence and foresight. "In brief, administer your expendl- wastefulness and extravagance," said tures in a clean, honest, legitimate he. "One of the worst calamities that and patriotic manner.

Ten privates (first class) and 25 privates tare' added" for war strength a troop could befall our nation at any time would be to stop the wheels of indus try, but more especially NOW. 'The point is to differentiate be tween destructive and constructive thrift. In times of peace or war, waste is reprehensible, but indiscrim inate tight-fistedness is worse, be cause in such conditions the provident are made to suffer with the improvi dent. "Because the whole nation suddenly has become conscious of the necessity of thrift, we as individuals' should take care not to deflect from their normal courses the tides of the na tion's money that turn the wheels of industry. America as a nation is not in any danger of running short of money, but we are threatened with a food shortage because on us rests the duty and responsibility of feeding our allies. "Everyone can distinguish the dif ference between prudent living and wastefulness. If a man buys a suit waste of fo&d, bearing in mind that every mouthful you save may be the sustenance of some starving fellow human being abroad. We should not tear down on one hand while we are trying to build up on the other. Those' in business should not hesitate be courageous and keep on going. America has everything ' to make herself prosperous. The bil lions of dollars which are being raised for war purposes will eventually re turn into the pockets of the people. Even the money which we loan to our allies is being spent immediately in America. The national bond issue means that for some years to come this country will be paying back the obligations incurred today. America is still in the midst of the greatest era of material prosperity the country has ever known. 'In the matter of individual expend iture every man should be guided by his own necessities and the needs of his country. Let none of us be a of clothes, a pair of shoes or hat, his ' slacker in the business world. This money goes into legitimate circula tion and furnishes uses for capital and employment for labor. "The American people have re- ls no flay tor tne coward or weak ling. Be brave and confident. Re member the most acute need of our nation today is intelligent, productive, sponded in a grand way to the needs ' constructive thrift." Realty Transfers May Come to It. (Boston Transcript.)

For a greac many years doctors pronounced It a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced It Incurable. Sci ence has proven Galarrh to be a consti tutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by P. J.
