GERMAN PATRIOTISM IN BUSINESS.

_ The Pall ?vlal! Gazette "is responsible for publishing a reprint of the following, which is said to have been sown broadcast through Germany:— TEN GERMAN COMMANDMENTS, 1. Even when you have only one penny to spend, remember the interest of your fellow-citizen and your Fatherland. 2. Remember that each time you buy an article made abroad, you are enriching your enemies and rob-

bing your Fatherland 3. Your personal needs must bo satisfied to the profit of German working men and German merchants, 4. Don't profane your German country, your German home, your German workshop by allowing foreign-made tools and furniture or machinery to find a place therein. 5. Do not allow foreign meat or foreign disiies on your tables, for by so doing you harm, not only your home industries, bufc also your health, as all food which the German Sanitary_ Commission has not stamped is poison. 6. Write on German paper with Germau ink and German pens. 7. Buy only German clothes. 8. Only German flour, German fruit, German beer and water from German springs can give you real German strength. 9. Drink _ only coffee from German colonies. 10. Let no one lead you astray from this path, and be sure that your . Fatherland's future depends _on your strict observance of these Commandments. •
