SAGE LEAVES.
At this stage of human affairs
there is a deplorable percentage of
the masses in a vain struggle to
make ends meet with noses on the
grindstone and wolf at the door.
Many who clamor for more work
and higher wages, would be fortun
ate to have been brought up under
rigid discipline in management and
economy. Precious pennies may be
easily saved when'mighty dollars
are hard lo earn.
The crafty merchant knows that
goods well bought are half sold.
Dont allow a nickle to pass from
your pocket-book .without taking
bids, as it were, for its greatest pur
chasing power.
At the pants of larye industries
in the north they are employing
philosophers like Benjamin Frank
lin, at high salaries, to find greater
efficiency in their operations.

ratchet of economy. Use, the least
fuel that will answer your purpose
turn down the lights when not need
ed, and rule that retirement Bhall be
in time to give required sleepers the
return of God's free sunlight (except
In necessary night duty). In many
cases, cheaper diet, In less quantity,
would be better for health, comfort
and longevity.
Adoption of "The simple life"
discarding the vanity of fashionable
pride, would uplift 6tranded millions
into comfortable homes and ease of
prosperity.
If the amount expended for tobac
co and whiskey by " the army of
"hard-ups" could be applied, to fam
ily needs, it would broad-cast an as
tounding tidal-wave of relief.
Our necessary labor would be but
a pleasant and hilthful task if
equally divided among, .the able
bodied members of our race.
Delays are dangerous.
There is great advantage In strik

Lost time will surely count, In
full against you.
It is a sad reflection that the
humiliating devastation of war, alone,
may impel an observance of these
golden lessons In burning truth. "

DUTCH GOVERNMENT
NEEDS ALL HER SHIPS
The Hague, Netherlands, May 10.
A bill to prohibit the export of
6hips also their chartering except
by Government consent has just
passed both Chambers of the Dutch
Parliament, where it met with no
serious opposition.
Holland's supply of essential nec
essities from overseas has been en
dangered, for in present circumstances
she is forced to depend practically
entirely on her own merchant fleet,
and Dutch shipowners have been
tempted by fancy prices and safer
waters elsewhere to charter their
boats for entirely foreign services,
as, for instance, in the traffic New
York-Marseilles, New York-Australia,
Chile-North America and North
South America. Even of the Duich
ships which do continue to trade to
home ports a goodly proportion are
engaged in supplying Belgium,
through the Commission for Relief
in Belgium. Moreover, the longer
average voyages owing to the clos
ing of the Baltic and Black Seas,
and the increased length of the voy
age to the Far East round the Cape
of Good Hope, have all contributed
to decrease shipping room.

A Symbol of Health.
The Pythagorians of ancient Greece
ate simple food, practiced temper
ance and purity. As a balge they
used the five-pointed star, wMch they
regarded as a symbol of health. A
red five-pointed star appeara en each
package of Chamberlain's Tablets
and still fulfills its ancient mission
as a symbol of health. If you are
troubled with indigestion, biliousness
or constipation, get a package of
these tablets from your druggist. You
will be surprised at the quick relief
which they afford. Obtainable every
where. - &dV
