THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM

Think About This

The first amendment to the Constitution of the United States reads as follows: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion", or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

An Ounce of Meat What It Means

An ounce of meat What does it amount to? Why save a little scrap of lean meat, or fat meat,

or suet or fat trimmed from a steak or roast?

Does this little scrap amount to much? Is it a

potent factor in the food supply of the nation?

We never paid much attention to it uniu we read a few statistics which the United States Department of Agriculture is asking the American people to study. If every one of the 20,000,000 American families wastes on an average of only one ounce of edible fat a day, it means a daily waste of 1,250,000 pounds of animal food or 456,000,000 pounds a year. Quite a staggering figure in the aggregate. One ounce of fat or meat wasted by you, multiplied by all your fellow citizens, figures up to Four Hundred and Fifty-six Million pounds a year. One hardly believes the result! How many steers would it take to supply this food? More than 875,000 steers or 3,000,000 hogs, bone and all. Or in other words, the American llv throw that many steers and hogs

into the garbage can. Eliminate the bones and butcher's waste, and the figures grow to 1,500,000 cattle or 3,700,000 hogs, say the department experts. Now add this to your calculations. To these hogs and steers were fed millions of tons of hay and corn. Thousands of acres of land were devoted to pasturage so that this vast herd could graze. Hundreds of cattlemen and butchers were paid money before the meat reached you. You would not ruthlessly kill a steer or a hog and let it go to waste. If you knew of a farmer who killed hogs merely for the sake of killing them you would rise in revolt. And yet that is exactly what you are doing. You and your thousand fellow citizens by wasting an ounce of meat daily are ruthlessly, shamelessly and needlessly squandering a food supply. Every bit of meat can be used in soups and stews; every bit of dripping and gravy can be saved and used to add flavor to other dishes.

Keep Business Going John Wanamaker, merchant prince of the United States, in a rousing appeal to the American people, emphasizes a fundamental factor in American prosperity which every citizen of this community should study. The statement is reproduced without further editorial comment. KEEP BUSINESS GOING For Our Country's Sake Our country prosperous" can pay our war costs, as they come, and have enough left over to aid our Allies. Our country unprosperous, with business halting, money hoarded, through fear or false economy, will be hard pressed to keep food on the table and clothing on the back. Keep Business Going i3 a patriotic slogan. Keep money in circulation.

Keep employment for everybody. Keep wages good. Keep on making money that we may have money to spend for war sacrifices. The worst thing that could happen to the world these days would be a business depression in our United States. . " .

War in itself doe3 not cause business depression. The billions of dollars of money to be expend

ed in war preparations will be put into circulation in our own country, and this in itself will

create new wealth for use in the world-struggle

for humanity.

The one thin that might halt business now is

an unpatriotic psychological feeling of panic and

a false idea of patriotic economy.

Patriotic Economy Patriotic economy means the elimination of waste and extravagance. It means the conservation of our food products, our natural wealth, our health, our energies, our labor, our very lives.

... ... . '. ... il:

It means putting more eniciency in every nuns j

we do so tnat eacn unit oi money, cucxy -telligence may accomplish the utmost. Patriotic economy does not mean the lowering of America's standard of living, which would make us less efficient physically and mentally,

nationally and individually, and would kill the spirit and the will to do the truly self-sacrificing things to be done. Cities and communities must go on with their civic improvements. Road building and public works must proceed. Railroads must renew their equipment. Factories must be kept going to their full capacity. Labor must be employed.

Homes must be kept up. Merchandise must be produced, distributed and used. War duties and war expenditures must be in

addition to peace duties and peace expenditures. The more we do the more we can do. The more money we spend the more we will have in our pockets to spend. Money creates money. In a word: The natural'sane life of the country must proceed as though we were not at war, in order that we may have the necessary prosper

ity to promote the war to a quick and successful

conclusion.

President Wilson sounds the keynote in this sentence: "It is evident to every thinking man that our industries, on the farm, in the shipyards, in the mines, in the factories, must be made more prolific and more efficient." Our industries can be made more prolific only if the people buy and use the merchandise produced by our industries. Manufacturing slackens when business slackens. Manufacturing crows in a prolific way when business grows.

And business can grow and remain healthful only

when the people buy and keep money m circulation.

Business IS Going Strong

Business is going in the East, the West, the North, the South. The country is prosperous. Last month's increase in business was very large. Banks may wait in their operations until the government bonds are assimilated. People may pause temporarily in their outfitting to arrange to meet the new conditions. But the unloosing of billions of dollars will unloose a flow of prosperity absolutely necessary to sustain the world's burden. Governments set the pace in their expenditures. Individuals must not lag behind. Seven billions of dollars to pay is only $70 per capita in the United States. Yet seven billions of dollars, put into work at 6 per cent. a fair estimate of the

producing power of money will create 420 millions of new wealth. The income tax we pay will not be a tax on prosperity, but a spur to prosperity. Every dollar the individual pays out will come back to him with interest in the general prosperity of the people. Keep Business going for our country's sake. War cannot be waged and won without the sinews of war.

To the Editor of the Palladium: Ifow frequently we see the sign, "Capable Men Wanted for U. S. Army." Capable mentally, morally and physically. Sergeant Warner is very familiar with this line of work, to much ko that he Is better able to judge the qualities of these men, than the mothers who have cared for them in sickness and in health and provided for I heir welfare. He tells of a mother who asked to have her son released because she thought him phptteatly unable to perform actual sarvicwihould it come to that. v". VAV. He seemed to tnlnk she was only

using this method as a ruse to secure : her son's discharge. He remarked ! that if her son were in the condition she described that it would be easily detected. No mother cares to be regarded a liar, when she has seen her i son under the doctor's care for eighteen months, after nursing him

through a long illness. This young man may pass the examinations, which seems incredible to his acquaintances. But this mother, even though regarded a prevaricator, has imagination and can see her son in active service, exposed to hardships which are difficult for able-bodied men to withstand. No one would attempt to offer such plans for securing a discharge, if these facts were not true. Even though a mother naturally refrains from sending her son, she would not have him lie to his country. Like many others she would give him to Uncle Sam if she felt secure in so doing. Suppose there were tears in her eyes. Is that a disgrace? Wouldn't any sane mother feel depressed when her only son joins tho ranks? Our recruiting officers should remember that theirs is a duty which implies courtesy and respect, and should refrain from flaunting a mother's sentiment before the public. We deem it advisable that gentlemen be employed in our recruiting offices. AN INTERESTED CITIZEN.

"THE NATURAL LAW

Charles Sumner's powerful drama, "The Natural Law," which enjoyed a capacity bouse at the Murray Theatre last night, proved one, of the best things the Oliver Stock Players have ever offered their patrons. The play is a gem of sex plays. There is no pandering of vicious appe

tites through the lure of inruendo, or

vufeir limits to mar its beauty. The subject Is one of broad range, and the author has covered his ground with a completeness that astounds. The story is a graphic and compelling tale. There will be a matinee Tuesday and

IN 1797 the stage coach traveling between Philadelphia and New York took two days to cover the ninety miles. In 1917 the Pennsylvania Railroad Express, over practically the same route, makes the run in two hours. In 1797 it meant a four-hour " drive by horse and carriage from Perth to the Golf Club at St. Andrew's. In 1917 you can easily motor over the same twenty-five miles under the hour. In 1797 a sailing vessel often took three months to make the voyage from New York . . . . . . . j . . . j -j

to Liverpool. In 1917 the Mauretania can make tne same trip in just overve uays.

There is just as much difference between

The EncvcloDaediaBritannica, printed on old-

fashioned thick paper, and the new Britannica, "Handy -Volume" Issue, printed on genuine India paper, as there is between the stage coach of 1797 and the Philadelphia Express of 1917; between the horse and carriage, traveling eight miles an hour, and the modern motor, traveling 50 miles an hour; between the sailing vessel and the ocean steamship. If you want the old-fashioned stage coach-horse and carriage-sailing vessel kind of an Encyclopaedia Britannica you need not be in any hurry to buy now. You can get the heavy, bulky, thick paper Britannica at any time. But if you want the modern "Handy Volume" Encyclopaedia Britannica, printed on genuine India paper, you must order at once. The sets of the " Handy Volume " Britannica, printed on genuine India paper, now in stock are all that we can get These are going at the rate of more than 2000 sets a week. The end of this sale is almost here. When the last set is sold no one will be able to buy the Britannica in this, its handiest form, at any price. No more can be printed. We cannot get another set from the publishers, because they positively cannot get any more of the genuine India paper. No more India paper can be made because two necessary raw materials flax from Belgium, Germany or Ireland and hemp from Russia because of the war, are now absolutely unobtainable, and no more can be secured for many years. - . Note .This also means that no more of the Cambridge University issue of the Britannica and Century Dictionary , , can be had on genuine India paper. We could probably sell many thousands more sets of the "Handy Volume" Issue of The Encyclopaedia Britannica if we could get them.. As this sale nears the end we are receiving, daily, thousands of inquiries asking for information about the "Handy Volume" Britannica on this wonderful India paper. When we announce the last day on which orders can possibly be filled we know that many orders ; will be sent in that we cannot supply sets for. Sets Can Be Seen and Orders Taken Nicholson Bros.
