Most of this land was previously owned by Arabs who did not live in Palestine, but had acquired these vast stretches of land during the Turkish regime and had left them uncultivated. The method of operation is to pur- chase a stretch of land, develop it— that is, install modern water system: sewerage, bulld roads, etc.—then sell it to Individuals who desire to settle in Palestine or who merely want to acquire the land for the purpose of in- vestment. The commonwealth helps them to build their houses and in gen- eral assists the individuals who settle there permanently. ‘The first piece of work In Palestine by the commonwealth was the bullding of the Colony Balfourla, named in honor of Lord Balfour. When Lord Balfour visited this place on his recent visit to dedicate the Hebrew Univer- versity he cried for joy. Balfourla is situated in the Emek Israel Vall and comprises about 3,000 acres of d. This area was un- cultivated for many centuries and con- tained a great swamp which bred ma- larfa in the entire vicinity. The swamp has been drained and the water used for irrigation.

There arz all sorts of ways of sav- ing, you know—antl sometimes the girls ‘who pride themselves most on their economy and thrift are, in real- ity, doing the most extravagant and foolish things. For instance, there is Olive, who works in New York and who enjoys a certain amount of popularity outside of working hours. Well, when she's invited to some- thing really very “high-hat” she per- haps decides that the nature of the occasion calls for a brand-new outfit. So she rushes off to the most ex- pensive shop in town and buys herself a really exquisite frock of flame-color over a silver slip, which she is sure will create a stir of excitement at any dance. “But,’ her mother protests, feebly, ou can't afford a dress like that. You've got very little more than that to spend on your entire costume.” “Ah,” exclaims Olive in an manner. “That is just where my known economy comes in. Watch me buy all the rest of my outfit for prac- tically nothing.” And off she goes to invest in some rather cheap silk stockings, which are just cheap enough to dve badly—so that they never quite match the love- Iy frock. And the silver slippers purchased at an inferior shop, made of rather tawd- ry brocade somehow don't go with that stunning dress at all. “See these marvelous shoes,” Olive exhibits them rapturously to her mother. “They cost less than any shoes I ever bought. So, on the whole, I've saved about $5 instead of overstepping the mark as you feared.” But, when Olive finally appears in all her splendor at the big affatr, she has an uncomfortable feeling that she isn’t the perfect picture she had meant to be. Why, she wonders, does Grace An- drews iook 80 very much smarter—so much more finished? | Grace could have told her in a few | words—for Grace had refused to spoil | her entire effect by saving an extra !penny on the accessorfes to her cos- tume. In the end, you see, Olive had to buy herself ancther pair of evening | slippers, for the cheap ones wore out |much sooner than the flame-colored frock. And after one or two washings the hose proved to be utterly hopeless—so another expenditure had to be made in that direction. Altogether, Olive's costume proved far more expensive than Grace's— nd not nearly as satisfactory. And the solemn moral of this sad story s that it is often unwise to save the extra penny on an article whose | | very cheapness may later prove to be | | vour greatest extravagance. | e sure that your economy today | | will prove of the most practical value | |in _the long run. | Don’t think that just because you | vou're being mother's nice, economical | girl. expenses in time to come.

If the eyes are at all Inclined to feel fatigued they are very apt to feel worse if indigestion is present. A well known writer comments on the fact that educational institutions are beginning to retire their instruc. rs ut a comparatively early age. some places this age is 65 years If he has taken care of his health, : man should have great mental vigor. Careful_attention to the proper diet " help materially in maintaining this mental vigor. If we are to bring about a change in the future, let us prove that mental efficlency need not be impaired at euch an early age. In cases of constipation in young bables malt sugar is often a great help. Use a heaping teaspoonful two or three times a day. Gruel wade from ocatmeal and combined with an equal quantity of milk will prove a good laxative in other cases. The best body-building material for a person suffering from Bright's dis- ease is to be found in milk and egg yolk. The dlet should be very laxa- tive and the lower bowel completely free from any residue. Now that the cool days are comin hearty dishes may be used more fr quently than has been the case durin the Summer. Pork in varlous form: ay be given to grown-ups. Rich des serts, such as mince pie, may appear once a weck or'so. Hot cakes are no longer taboo. In this connection it is important to remember, however, that these foods should not 'be grouped to- gother and served in the same meals, nor should they be given to young children nor to those whose occupa- tions are sedentary. Healthy adults who spend a reasonable time in exer- cises in the open air may partake of these hearty foods with discretion. is fre.
