To save is imperative. Some peo-
ple are worn thrifty, some achieve
thrift, but most of us have thrift
thrust upon us by high prices and re-
stricted incomes. To all the budget
is the universal help, and as a safe
investment for small savings, Thrift
and War Savings Stamps should be
the first consideration after the ne-
cessities.

Extravagance rots character, train
youth away from it. On the other
hand, the habit of saving money,
while it stiffens the will, also bright-
ens the energies. If you would be
sure that you are beginning right,
begin to save—Theodore Roosevelt,
Begin right today. Buy Thrift or a
War Savings Stamp and keep up the
habit regularly.

The $4.12 you put In a Savings
Stamp this month will not only give
you $5.00 In cash when it is redeem-
ed by the government on January 1st,
1925, but the $5.00 then probably will
buy nearly twice what it does now.
Thrift beats the profiteer and brings
down high prices.

LADY ANNE AZGAPETIAN.
wife, Lady Anne, and Ireneh Esther
Araxie Azgapetian, whose baby eyes
opened upon scenes of horror and later
through them saw much of the suffer-
ings of the people of Armenia,
The family are making their tour un-
der auspices of the Near East Rellef,
the big organization which has saved
hundreds of thousands of the people
in that part of the world from death
by hunger and cold and is soon to open
a nation wide campaign for funds to
complete the work of saving the sur-
vivors, more than a half million of
whom must perish unless aid comes to
them soon. America is their only hope,
General Azgapetian served gallantly
ip the Russian armies in the Caucasus
against the Turks. His wife, who ac-
companied him to the front, did noble
work for the wounded and sick, and
{ft was while in this service that her
baby was born in a hospital tent during
a battle. An army blanket swung from
two poles in one corner of the tent was
the baby’s crib during the rest of that
terrible winter campaign. With the
collapse of the Russian armies after
the Bolshevist revolution the Azgape-
tlans returned to Armenia for a brief
spell and did their best to alleviate
the suffering they found on every hand.
But with a Turkish price on his head
the father finally made his way with
his family through Russia to Finland
and then to this country. What they
tell of conditions and needs in Armenia
is first hand evidence.
In the Caucasus, Armenia, - Syria,
Turkey and Persia are more than 250,
000 orphans, helpless little victims of
war, massacre and deportation, and
for the great majority the only bar be-
tween them and absolute starvation
is 2a bowl of hot bean soup every day.
This soup is supplied by the Near East
Relief now making an appeal to
the American people for sufficient
funds to increase this dole and to pro-
vide these suffering little ones with
clothing and give them an education
that will help them to become self sup-
porting. It Is estimated that more
than 1,500,000 ‘in Western Asia will
| die of starvation unless American aid
is continued.

Cardinal Gibbons Asks Aid
For Starving Armenians
This is the
message from
James (Cardi-
nal) Gibbons
read at the
big meeting in
Washington in
aid of the
Near East Re-
lief. The ven-
erable primate
of the Catholic

Church in
America is In-
tensely Inter-
(® International) ©Sted in the
Cardinal Gibbons, 2Ppeal which
the Near Bast
Relief will make to the country in
February for funds to support its
work among the starving peoples of
that stricken land. To the Wash-
ington meeting he wrote:
“Advices and information coming
from the Near East cannot be doubt-
ed. There is great actual suffering
and famine. These people, recently
become independent and released
from bitter thraldom, cannot sup-
port themselves. - And the Chrisuan
and common instincts of humanity
which have prompted the people of
the United States during the last
two years to relieve the distress
and needs, especially of the Near
East, must not be allowed to grow
cold and be diminished.
“I hope we shall all unite in this
present emergency and be able to
collect sufficient funds to enabfe
these peoples to live and work until
next summer brings them perma-
nent relief and subsistence. I call
upon all to respond generously to
the appeal now being made and
trust that the committee will be
gratified with the results.”

them have brought that condition on
themselves by the use of mineral
waters and strong cathartics that
take too much water out of the sys-

are meant to relieve. A mild laxa-
