What a $50 Bond Will Do If you can't serve in the ranks of the army, you can at least aid the government to support those who represent you on the firing line. Do you know what a $50 bond will do? Consider: it will Buy three Springfield rifles, complete. Buy 1,500 rounds of ammunition, enough to supply sixteen soldiers going into battle. Buy ten new rifle barrels to replace those worn out. Pay one soldier for seven weeks. Feed one soldier five months or a company of

150 enlisted men one day. Equip one soldier with clothing complete for two years.

and is fearful of results. It encourages cowardice and prevents progress. The farmer that is a slave to this philosophy doesn't cut weeds because he believes they will grow again. The worker who accepts this creed doesn't save because he believes he will never accumulate a million. The housewife who regulates her household economy by this theory isn't tidy and neat in her home because she believes dust and dirt will appear again.

What's the Use? "What's the use?" despondently asks the man who is weaker than the task before him. He admits his defeat before he makes the last final drive to conquer. If France had said what's the use when von Gluck was rushing toward Paris, Teutonic autocracy now would be ruling the world. If England had said what's the use when her first armies were smashed, she would be paying tribute today to the Kaiser's government. If Lincoln had said what's the use in the dark days of the Civil war, the cause of the Union would have been lost forever.

"What's the use?" is a philosophy of life that has wrecked many a good undertaking and prevented the launching of many a profitable enterprise.

"What's the use" is a slogan of discouragement and despair. You find it exemplified in

the Russian soldiers who fraternized with the

Teuton fighters. The Muscovites believed de

feat was inevitable, victory unattainable. They

succumbed to a false philosophy, permitted it to win the upper hand in their consciousness, became addicted to its soothing but fatal power, and today have aggravated their own peril and

hampered the work of their allies. , The national spirit of "the Russians, as it re

veals itself in apathy of the masses and the reluctance of the soldiers, is an example of the "what's the use" spirit in its logical conclusion.

No progress or betterment can emanate from it. It is the gospel of despair.

Here Is a Recipe for Swelled Heads

From the American Magazine. T "J E liad a bad case of swelled head A terrible, 1 ' 1 but very common disease. He got to making money fast, and then he 'blew it In' right and left for the purpose of showing off. He thought that he was a wonder. He felt that he was invincible. He allowed his feet to get off the ground, and he became a victim of self-flattery the worst flattery that can attack anybody. "So he 'blew up with a loud report, and now he is getting back on his feet. "It takes a man with a lot of sense to keep levelheaded in the presence of sudden success. Still it can be done. The way to do It is to keep saying to yourself: 'Now, young fellow, don't fool yourself. Remember that millions before you, for untold generations, have shot up like rockets and then shot down. There is nothing remarkable about you yet. You are still about as rare as a garter snake there have been so many like you in the past. You haven't even begun to distinguish yourself, and you won't distinguish yourself except by doing a good job well for a long time. Now, the surest way for you to interrupt that good work is for you to develop a swelled head. Don't do it. You need your head for thinking purposes, and a s Welled head can't think straight.' "

Revelations of a Wife BY ADELE GARRISON

A MISTAKE REALIZED TOO LATE "Oh, say, please, Misses Graham, there is a man here be Bays he must pik to you." Katie's voice, anxious, troubled, followed her deprecatory knock upon my closed door. She had been in my -r-mploy less than 24 'hours, and she evidently was very much in doubt as to the reception her interruption of r:y afternoon nap would get. "Thank you, Katie." I tried to make my tone reassuring. "Will you ask him to sit down? I will keep him waiting only a few minutes." I dressed rapidly, resenting with very movement this interruption of my quiet hour and nap. I had been much upset the evening before over the discovery that Katie, the maid

whom I had just engaged, had once kept house for a group of artists, of whom Dicky was one, acting as a model when she was not busy with'

her kitchen work. As a consequence

my sleep during the night had been fitful. - . - , Dicky had not added to my peace of mind in the morning when, after eating the really excellent breakfast of Katie's cooking, he had said heartily: "Well, Katie, as long as you keep this up you may be sure of a home here." To me later, as he bade me good-by in the hall, he had added in an undertone: "For heaven's sake, Madge, keep her. Put up with anything from her until I finieh that picture of Poland

for which she was posing when she ran away from us." Evidently the fact that I might not relish this combination of servant and model had never occurred to Dicky. The very fact of his blindness disarmed me. I resolved to accept the situation for a time at least, but it disturbed me nevertheless. Then, too, the knowledge that I had not yet answered Mrs. Smith's courteous letter proffering me the leadership of the Lotus Study Club's history section weighed upon my mind. I had resolved that the matter of my acceptance of the position must, be thrashed out with. Dicky before another day had ended. All these things made me welcome my quiet hour and nap as a preparation for the discussion I foresaw in the evening. It was too bad, I told myself, resentfully, that I should be disturbed just because some unknown man on an unknown errand waited. But my resentment vanished when I saw the shabby little man who

ing room. Evidently a tradesman, he

was such an unoffensive, humble, lit

tle man, with an appealing look in the big eyes that met mine half timidly.

You are Mrs. Graham?' he queried. Yes, I am Mrs. Graham," I answer

ed. "Pray ' be seated again. What can 1 do for you?"

"I am sorry-to trouble you, madam,

he said, "but "I can never find Mr.

Graham in, and this has been running a long time." He held out a folded paper. I opened It, and read: "Mr, Richard Graham, Dr.:

"To Touralne Bros., cleaners and

dyers. Balance July 2, 1914. 127.35,

I made a mental calculation. Why, his bill was over a year old! What did It mean? Was It possible that Dicky, lucky, prosperous Dicky, who,

I knew, had plenty of ready money,

was careless or worse about the payment of bills such as these to tradesmen who so evidently needed the money? "There must be some mistake," I said, looking at the man. "I am sure Mr. Graham cannot know about this or he would have paid it long before this."'" The man coughed deprecatingly. "I am sorry to say it. Mrs. Graham, but Mr. Graham does know it In fact, he stopped sending his clothes to me to be cleaned and pressed last summer because I asked him for the bill. You see I didn't know he had guests when I came to his studio, and he was touch annoyed. He told me then I could wait till well ma'am, I guess I'd better not tell you Just what he did say, but he meant I'd have to wait a long time for my money. I did not trouble him again for several months, for I hoped he would think better of It and come back he had traded with me for years, Mr. Graham had but I've given that up now, and I do need the money. I must have it, in fact" "You shall have it," I said Impulsively. I went swiftly to my bedroom and emptied my purse. Yes, there was enough, three ten-dollar bills and some small change were there. I took the bills and went back to the living room. "Here Is your money," I said, handing it to him. "Will you kindly receipt the bill?" But Mr. Touralne was looking at the money In embarrassed fashion. "I shall have to come again," he said slowly, "or perhaps you wouldn't mind giving me part of the money. You see, collections are so bad and times are so hard I have very little ready money, and today none at all for change." The embarrassed flush on his face was not as deep as the one on my own. Here Dicky and I had every comfort and many of the luxuries, and this poor tradesman, to whom Dicky owed money long due, was forced to such straits. "Take it all." I said, pushing it toward him, and, indeed, the very sight of the money was hateful to me. "Give me the receipted bill, and then some time when you are passing this way you may bring me the change." I wanted to tell him to keep the

change, but something about the man

warned me not to make the offer. He was no mendicant, only a man who wished his rights and nothing more. He took a fountain pen from his pocket, adjusted it in precise, methodical fashion, receipted the account in full, folded the bills and put them in bis pesket, and made me an old-fashioned bo. "I am very grateful, Mrs. Graham," he said. "I hope Mr. Graham will not be angry.. I will return with the change later." It was not until the door had closed behind him that I realized the full force of his remark. After all, this was Dicky'3 affair, not mine. I had paid a bill which he had deliberately ignored. Would he consider my ac

tion an unwarrantable interference with his affairs? I had had glimpses of Dicky' almost ungovernable temper, and this man's story had shown

that he was .utterly unreasonable when he was annoyed. I felt a sudden deadly weariness assail me. There is nothing which I so detest and dreadas a scene of any kind. It looked to me as if life -with Dicky would be one disagreement after another.
