"If you don't need it, don't buy it," is the gover'nment's advice
to Canadians.
This is the year when it is smart to look shabby, smart not to
entertain lavishly, when it is smart to walk and not drive your car.
The people who maintain their usual standard of living are not ,
patriotic.
Manypeople have more money to spend now than they have had
for many years. This is the time they. may be tempted to 'purchase
things which they will soon discover are just white elephantsand of
little use in their households.. war is a gran business and
Although it is fun to spend money,
now is the timeto save, not spend: There will be enough.goodb in
Canada to go around only if people do net bgy,:-Rxtravagarttly but are
careful in their purchases.
Now is the time to save money fbr war sayings' stamps, certifi-
cates and bonds. Save money to win the war and when it is won
and the industries again begin manufacturing for civilians-sbend
those savings and keep thewheels of husiness•turning.
Solve This One
John Byrne, . itinerant black-
smith, confronted tire rationing
officials with this complaint:
Without tires he can't travel
about to shoe horses. Without
oboes the horses can't replace
autos. Without horses some army, work 'will be held. up. State of:
facials passed the buck - to Wash-
ington.

A. reformer was watching a

""This machine has taken jobs
.from scoresof men. Why 'don't

one hundred men in that ditch
with shovels?"
The;. sbperantendent promptly
retorted: "Oh, better still, why
not put a thousand men in there
with teaspoons!"

The discovery that a married
couple in his floclt were liable to
quarrel upset the vicar. So he
decided' to speak seriously to the
husband.
"You know, my dear friend,
that you and your wife should be
as one."
"As a matter of fact," replied
the other sadly, "we are as ten.".
"How's that?"
"Well, she's, the one and I'm;

PAIN KILLED
How some 200 surgeons
throughout the United States are
successfully performing a pain -
conquering operation is described
in The Reader's Digest for Janu-
ary.
Working like linemen',on a far-
flung telephone network, surgeons
now operate on the nervous sys-
tem itself—daring, delicate, mer-
aeulously effective surgery - to
cheek the pain.. of incurable. dia-
1
ease or block the effects of hid-
'• den ills that cannot be treated at
t their source.
i. Every, pain impulse, wherever
it originates, must travel up the
1 main spinaltrunkline to the brain.
When the pain cannot he elimin-
ated at .the source, the neuro-
surgeon offers this recourse: in-
terrupt the pathway of pain. A
small incision is made at the point
; just before the nerves of the pain-
ful part enter the spinal column,
The patient is deprived of noth-
` ing` but his sense of pain and.
temperature in that portion of his
body. His tactile sense, or feeling,
is left whole.

ABOUT, DOGS
.That old fable that dogs pant
because:; they cannot sweat hag
been "shattered" by discovery of
sweat glands in their skins, says
" the- editor of The Lancet, British
medical journal.
J. G. Speed, an Edinburgh re -
.searcher, has found sweat glands..
in the skin of the lips, head, back,
thorax,'shoulders, thighs and pads
of the feet, a finding previously
reported by numerous other invea-
tigators but apparently not gen
erally; known.
Nevertheless, the dog does
pant, comments The Lancet edi-
tor, adding that it would be in-
teresting to know how effective
the skin sweating is and whether
all breeds of dogs are equipped
with sweat glands in their skin.
Absence of visible moisture on
.the skin may be due to efficient
evaporation while the probability
of water vapor -enmeshed in the
hairs suggests the reverse, The
Lancet editor states. -
A Sense of Humor
Saves 'A Situation
Stanton, secretary of war in
Lincoln's cabinet, told the story
of the President's need for laugh-
ter in the grim days of the Civil
War, says The Toronto Telegram.
On September 2, 1862, Stanton
had received a peremptory call to
a cabinet meeting at, the White
House. There he found Lincoln
reading a book by Artemus Ward,
a "very funny" chapter of which
he read aloud. Having finished,
Lincoln laughed heartily—alone.
Undismayed, he went on with an-
other chapter, and then asked:
"Gentlemen, why don't you
laugh? With the . fearful strain
that is upon me night and day,
if I didn't laugh I would die, and
you need the medicine as much as
I do."
Then Lincoln, announcing that
he had- "made. up his mind this
paper was to issue," read to Ins
colleagues the emancipation pr'o
clamation., -
