We hear so much of conservation and often, unfortunately, from those who are doing 'least of it, that our ears are rather less acute than they should be for our own good. It is a word which we should keep ever uppermost in mind, ready to apply it to the every day things which come to our attention. In this weather it is essential that the housekeepers of the village apply the principles of conservation to the delivery of their supplies. When ev- system of the city is Ea seis . to keep open its lication with the hooves the considerate and the efficient housekeeper to put no unnecessary burden upon the men who supply their needs. The exercise of a little forethought in the ordering of supplies, the appli- cation of a little consideration to the men and to the other persons who are dependent upon them for sup- plies, will help wonderfully to tide the merchants over the hard days which It will, be- sides, ensure better service for all. Re The Soldier's Health. It is repeatedly stated by those who have come upon them. are in authority and in a position to know that health conditions in camp are better than among those in civil life, a consideration which is en- couraging to those who are depressed by rumors of quarantine because of scarlet fever or measles, mumps, meningitis. It is the very fact that there is established the strict quaran- tine which accounts for the better health of soldiers than of a similar 'number of men living under the con- ditions incident to their homes. We are likely to think of the camp as a group of soldiers of far smaller We fail to consider such groups as larger than proportions than it is. any but the few cities in the state, and that they are made up of mem- bers who have come from everywhere, having been exposed to all sorts of infection. If we could learn to take into consideration these facts, and to the which has been given by the officers remember and believe report in charge of the camps, we would be less likely to fall into error and to be misled by those fearful people who see only the few weaknesses of the camp system rather than the great care with which the men are guarded irom harm.

They must have quick access to one another and to the others back from the shore. This ability of communication is doubly important in time of war. To insure prompt and reliable means whereby the sentries of our coasts may talk and be talked to, the Bell System has made plans for providing tele- phone connectionsat about one hundred lighthouses and two hundred coast-guard stations, involving the laying of about three hundred miles of subma- rine cable, the construction of over six hundred fif- ty miles of pole line, and the stringing of over twelve hundred miles of wire. About one million dollars will be expended. This liberal expenditure is in the interest of National Defense, the objective for which all Ameri- cans are now striving. CHICAGO TELEPHONE COMPANY hd
