Mosquito who does all the deadly
work of fever propaganda. She is
most active around dawn and after
sunset. She avoids strong light and
prefers dark colors. She is essentially
a domestic creature, staying around
houses by preference.
In the autumn the males die, and
the females seek winter quarters.
They hibernate in dark corners of,
cellar and garret, and on the first
warm day of spring are out laying
their eggs. Save when extended by
the arrival of this hibernating period,
the life of the female is one or two
months; the male, on the other hand, J
lives but a few days. The food of
the mosquito is th6 juice and nector 1
of plants and, of course, blood?
though not necesarily that of man 1
animals, reptiles and even caterpil- j
lars are bitten with the same freedom.
The female mosquito lays from fif-'
ty to one hundred eggs at a time, i
on any quiet bit of water. In about
three days they hatch, and though1
at first the larva is very small, it]1
frows ranidlv and attains full devel-|
opment in a few days. We have thenj

During the larval stage, which i
lasts from seven to fourteen days,
the malarial variety can be distin- '

that the still was in operation but i

neighborhood and began a thoroug]
search. After beating about in th
woods where they suspected the stil
was being operated, they finally dis
covered it near a small stream. Th
".pparatus was running at full bias
when the officers ^arrived on th

right merrily. One man iVas lying oi

His exit was so hurried that he left i

detection of the guilty party. It i
thought that there were others con

their getaway in the darkness.
One of the deputies stated thi
morning that the plant was one ?
the best equipped liquor distillerie
ever capturedjn this section. At th
still were three jugs ready for fillinj

Thia is the day of the amall inTeai
tor. The war opened the eyea of aome
1-, (0,000,000 Americana to the heneflta
e of inreatlng in government securities;
j it minimised to the aame extent the
menace of fraudulent promotions In
3 which many life's savings tiara been
t sunk. War Savings Stamps are making
investing safe for the small saver.
e Every small Investor should realise
^ that a dolla^ saved while money is
the cheapest commodity offered will
e purchase twice as much of almost any
.1 other commodity within four or five
[_' years, so that, in addition to the in'
terest that War Barings or other gove
ernment securities yield,, the Investor
t really has earned 100 per cent in the
e purchasing power of the dollar saved.
e Small sums certainly are worth saving.
Amounts that seenr insignificant
^ soon pile up into figures that are ima
pressive.
t A great French hanker was once
e asked the secret of French thrift, ana
s he replied, 'Compound interest" Just
as constant waste, even in little
a things, may change one's life from
* success to failure, so the steady save
ing of money will eventually bring
s independence, if ntt actual wealth.
i There are very few persons who
eannot, without inconvenience, lay
b aside 10 cents a day. Within ten
j years one's daily savings of this ins
significant sum will amount to 9366,
in addition to $80,St compound Interest,
making a total- of 1446.36. _
s By saving 16 cents a day for ten
e years, with interest compounded at 4
, per cent, one will have the comfortable
sum of $668.11; 10 cents a day
a will net $ 10.99. Save SO cents a day
3 for ten years and there is $S,*27.76.
- A dollar a day will make a total of

k of A course of thrift jfor elementary
S Schools. It is designed ^specially to
k. meet the needs of teachers, beginning*
*' with chapters for the'smallest young-i
' sters and continuing to those for p?1
plls up to the eighth grade.
"Thrift in the Schools" contains
^ fascinating suggestions for the teachw
ing of thrift to the little ones at the
- "Motiler UOOS0" age. ineu wr
m older children there are many other
ways o< bringing the lesson home.
Geography, hygiene, English reading,
budget making and problems in arithmetic
adant themselvee to the teaching
of thrift.
Besides these items the pamphlet
contains suggestions far morning
talks for all grades; tentative read!ing
lists, with the names of the publishers
of books included; and, In each
chapter, a paragraph on the practice
of thrift.
The summary of the alms of the
leaflet will probably give the best Idea
of the outline
1. To give the child & broad underetanding
of the specific facts and
underlying principles of thrift.
S. To train the child in the habits
of conservation and the wise use of
11 his resources. ,
; 3.. To create through the schools a
public sentiment In favor of thrift and
economy, and through this public sentiment.
to cultivate the national
habit of thrift.

LEARNING TO MAKE ,
MONEY ONLY HALF;
WIm Spondlng It Ale* leeential
According to War Savfnga
Organization.
Li*amine how to make money ia
only ha^f. It is learning how to
attend wisely and ear* Judiciously that
count*.
Even saving does not aeoeeearlly
mean wise spending, since the present
day offers *o many equivalents ft*
our money. It Is only by f a
careful, systematic study of the household
administration that a proper balance
may be found betjreen the different
items in the average budget of
the home. I
There are items in every household
on which too much money is spent
The fact must be faced that if too
much is spent on clothing, for instance,
less must be spent for other
necessities of life.
Saving, however, is the item that
should be mopt emphasised. Poorhouses
are full of people who did not
have a sayings item on their budgets.
Unemployment, sickness, old age and
many other demands necessitate a call
on the reserve fund, the lack of which
will result in suffering and want.
Every going enterprise is conducted
on system. If the hope is to be a successful
institution it must also comply
with this wise rule of economics.
Systematic household accounting will
make a home more cheerful and prosperous.
Household accounting alone^
however, will never return its full benefit
until it is backed by an intelligent
family budget. ,
One muse consider the problem of
whether it is wiser to pay rent or to
build a home. In a large measure this
depends on local conditions as well as
the size of the income.
Amusement and recreation are essential
in family life. The child and
the adult should have an allowance
for this, though the total be. very
small, averaging from 4 to I per eent
of the income of the family.
The wise spender plans the needs of
the family so that the amount spent
in the "miscellaneous" items will be
as small as possible. This item should
not be a "catch all" in home records.
