To our men a pipe or a ciyarot means- a taress from home. It is a ro.nemhra nco from some one over here, and it sooths their pain of nerves and mind and inspires pleasant isions of happier environments. Kverywhero I j;o, of course, J cf o men smoking. Often women fonoke, too. And every time I se tliis I f-el prompted to say to the man or woman what I heard tho woman from France tell a' out a soldier's longing for a smoke. I want to ho thorn to set aside one or two of the clarets- they intend to smoke and send these ahroad whore thev aro I so much needed. If every smoker denied himself, and herself, jut one extra ciuarot each time they smoked, they would keej) our men in the trendies supplied with tooacco. And this would not bo at any sacrifice that one would feel.

A man .-mokes ever so many nioi e than he. ra!:-s until he begins to count op and. see tli.it ho co': 'mos many a: r than h really rcj aires for oa- .'" m'!.t. A man who smokes two ' k-ars after each meal ran sae tili a day. and the man who .-mokes all during the day can s'ave a hox fall in no time. I wish some trood-hartod man uould tak this Utile suitzection to heart and lot mo know whether he is .-a ins? cie.irs and ciira or tobacco for his frllow m-' -. -..ho are ühtimr our I attlos on jthor side Men aro generous w .iture, and T know that self-deuiai in tho matter of smokes has not occurred to them in this snrtl' way. Put th"re is a little rhyme ahout "littl? ::rains of sand" that 1 learned when I was a little child, and I think lhtio era ins of tobacco will mount up just as rapidly and find their way across the sea to carry a mc.-saee of cheer from home. We are learning more and more about tho pleasure that "godmothers" can eive to soldiers. The correspondencebetween "eodmotho. s" anil "efdsons" has been productive of much happiness and Riven couraeo to many downcast ones. And one of the duties of a "eodmothor," you must know, is to supply her "eodsons" with tobacco. 1 am lucky to have more than GO "sodsons" and they have let me know how many smokes they need, so that I can perform ray duty toward them. For those who do not smoke there is, of course, an extra portion of candy. Soldiers like candy as much as we homo folk do. War does not affect the sweet tooth at all. and the cnerey afforded by c.mdy is considered jool for lieditinir men. So let's pive the hoys all the smokes wc can, and for those who do not smoke let's remember a box of candy. Economy Calendar bean in laree quantities. There is I little advantage in Luvine; it un roasted because few persons are skillful enoueh to roast it properly. But not only is coffee cheaper but it is better when boueht in the bean, because keine uneround it cannot loose its davor. Moreover when you buy coffee in the bean you are reasonably sure you are not buying ehickory. or any other form of adulterant. At this time of the year a hie supply of nuts may wisely b, boueht. Those aro very easy to store as they need simply , to bo placed In wooden boxes or b irlap bags in a dry place. Of course in lieu of the war situation it is considered unpatriotic to buy quantities of the foods that art? scarce. Tho woman that hoards su-ar or the woman that lays in fat sides of bacon is as truly as unpatriotic as the woman who fails to see- that stale bread is not otilized In her kitchen. Put thrie is no reason why we should rot store any of the staid' food that h is not been almost requisitioned bv t he tov o-nment, as have sugar, wheat, beef and pork.

No plea was e-ntered by the defense as the case was brought up in eity court Saturday, and the hearing was set for Jan. T..

Czinke, according to the polic. was thrown erat of the Iiuday restaurant, HC0 W. Division st.. by the pair p.ow charged with murder. He managed to make his way to his rooming house, a short distance away, but was spitting blood upon his arrival there. Physicians were called, but were unable to t-ave him. lie died within a few hours. It was suspected that Czinke died as a result of t lie treatment ho had received, and so a post mortem examination was held. This re ealed the fact that death had ben lue to a fractured skull and hemorrhageef the brain injuiies which, the doctors said, could not have been caused by other than intentional 1 lows.

Every young man. before being lirecteel to employment v. ill be carefully investigated by the employment service otfice to make reasonably certain that he is of the right sort. The United States Employment Service at Chicago, operating with the Immigrathm service of the United States department of Kaher are cooperating with a!l county agricultural agents in orbr that this great need may he properly Ulleel.

LABOR STRENGTHENS BRITISH GOVERNMENT POSITION IN WAR Ildernatieiiial News Service: LONDON. Dec. 2(j. The position of the Pritish government in its stanel on peace was greatly strengthened today by the action of the national labor conference in voting for a continuation of the war. This attitude taken by labor was hoildy significant in view of the fact that it followeel tho offer of Germany ami Austria to make peace on a basis ef no annexations ror indemnities. Both lhiglanel anel Prance, through members of their governments, hive rojoidiate-el tho Teutonic offer to negediate peace on a basis- of the status epio ante bellum and it is unlikely that the circular note being lrafted by Leon Trotzky, ;he bdsheviki fereign minister at Petre?rad, will be answered. It is possiUe. however, that a statement on peace will bo maele by some member of the Pritish or French government which may be accepted by tho bedsheviki as an answer trj their imitation to all the allies to enter a general peace conference. Th-ro is a elisposition to believe that the Austro-German peace orfr is tb beginning of a new "peace drive" and that another offer will soon be forthcoming, preihably through some neutral source NAME A TEMPORARY PRESIDENT OF PORTUGAL Intrioitb nnl News S rvi f: l IdSMON.
