He may deposit his savings with any quarter master in sums of not less than $5. The quartermaster will furnish to e P° s itor a book giving record of liis deposits. On the discharge of a soldier (but not before) the total amount of his deposits will be entered on his final statement and will be paid to him on presentation of his deposit book. The rate of interest allowance is 4 per cent. This is one convenient method of saving money which many soldiers will desire to use. It is easier to save in the Army than it is in civil life. Saving money is not only good In itself but is a sign that you are con centrating: your time and energy on your military duties; that you are really playing the game. The majority of the men who join the National Army are old enough and have sufficient good sense and self control to conduct themselves prop erly, both on duty and off duty, with out special advice or supervision. However, some suggestions may prove helpful. A man in uniform is always re garded, whether he wishes it or not, as a representative of the army to which he belongs. See to it that you conduct yourself in such a way to add your bit. not only to your own reputation, but to the reputation of the Army and of the country. Making Use of Spare Time The use that a man makes of hi 3 > time off duty is a good test of his ! character and of his -capacity for | growth. The good soldier is self- I restrained. Don't spend your time J repeating indicent stories. They add nothing whatever to your standing, | either with the men to whom you tell them or with your officers. Avoid bois terousness, (vulgarity and profanity. This doesn't mean at all that you should keep yourself in the back ground or that you should fail to be a good "mixer." Let your personality I stand out. Broaden your influence | to help the men in your own squad and company carry on their work anu j prepare as quickly as possible for the I big task ahead of you. | Save some of your spare time for study. The manuals and drill regu lations will grow more and more in teresting to you as you become more ! familiar with your new duties. Mem | orize some of the important passages. Make yourself an authority on every | thing that pertains to company drill. | These are simple rules that will help apy man, whether in or Qut of the Army, to make himself liked and respected. They are easy rules to observe. Follow them, and you will add greatly to your enjoyment of Army life and to your chances for promotion. New York Suffragists Helping to Save Food New York, Aug. 24.—Mrs. James Lees Laldlaw, vice chairman of the New York State Woman Suffrage party, to-day began sending copies j of the canning and drying manuals of the National Emergency Food Garden Commission of Washington to every assembly district leader in the state as part of the organiza tion's co-operation in helping to conserve food of the country. These manuals are being sent out by the thousands to women throughout the country. Any woman can have one by sending to the commission at Maryland building, Washington a two-cent stamp to pay postage. In a letter to the secretary, Mrs. Laid law writes: "Thank you for your generous co-operation. I will " see that our various district leaders re | ceive copies in addition to those you j have sent our campaign district chairman.

FRUGALITY ALWAYS . , IV SEASON ] Prudence in expenditure, parti cularly now is evidence of sanity, |of right living and right think j mg. John Wanamaker's first pav was j only $1 20 a week, and he walked j four miles to and from work each, day to save a part of it as a corner | stone for the gigantic fortune he i has built. John D. Rockefeller still has the little book in which he kept strict account of every penny at a time when his salary was infinitely smaller than that of any of the vast army of men working "for him to i day. Not all of us can be Wanamakers | or Rockefellers, nor want to be; J but their experiences point out very clearly the way to money-making through money-keeping; and most of us can, if we will, go a reason able length in that direction. And for frugality there are other uses than getting rich. James A. Garfield, teaching school at sl2 a month, saved money to carry him through college. Young Abe Lin coln denied hifself comforts and walked fifty miles to buy a single book. The notable instances of frugality by which men have work ed themselves up In the world | would fill volumes. Most of the really great men of the past, and of the present, in all lines of en deavor, are self-made made through their own self-denial, fixed purpose and helpful habits. Stinginess and greed are to be abhorred. They are at the one ex treme, while profligacy and care | lessness are at the other. The gold- I en mean of saving thrift Is to be found half-way between.

AUGUST 24, 1917 S, IVgists for Fall One feature of the opening of the 1917 fall season is the showing of what might be called suit waists—waists in shades to match the prevailing colors in suits; if not exactly matching the suits the waists may be selected in attractive contrasting tones. On this account colors in navy, taupe, Copenhagen, brown, flesh, white, etc., promise to have a good run on public favor. Georgette Crepe waists portraying the new shades are here and they present little ideas that are entirely new—one in point the contrasting stitching that is novel and effective. Tucks, embroidery, lace and beads are used for adornment in a fascinating manner.
