LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT
By S. W. STRAUS
rrtiidtut American Satiety far Thrift
As time ad
vances and
demands, in
ever increas
ing amount,
are made on
the resources
of the coun
try in order
to supply the
needs of the
military situ-
a t i o n, we
shall see
greater and
, , ... still greater
need top thrift
Let ui hope that conditions here
will never duplicate those abroad.
No matter what the situation may
become with us we will find the
practtces of thrift of particular
value. The following appeal fo
thrift in Englaiys can be taken a>
the theme forborne Solemn think
ing in this country**
“Ten shillings saved, say on
feasting, equal! 80 cartridges. Bot
tle of champagne equals 400 cart
ridges,' Lady’s new hat equals four
steel helmets. New dress equals
four service rifles. Diamond tiara
equals one field gun. Motor car
equals aeroplane. Piano equals 100
shells. Lap dog equals 20 shells.”
The Department of Agriculture
ha« been quick to recognize the
necessity of thrift In the present
emergency and has not only sent
put many suggestions, but is helping
in concrete ways to increase the
nation’s food supply. %
If we should send 5,000.000 sol
diers arid nurses to the front, there
would still be more than 95.000.000
citizens left in civil life. Let .them be
organized into a mighty army of
thrift, 95,000,000 strong! Can you
imagine the tremendous strength
of this republic if every man,
woman and child set about the task
of eliminating waste? Bear in mind
always that it is only through
thrm that the nation will be able
to get the last ounce of strength at
its command. Let us remember
also that voluntary thrift will pos-
s “ ) lv make unnecessary compulsory
thrift. It is easier to begin giving
up unnecessary things now and get
used to it than to be compelled to
give up actual comforts later on.
Both / patriotism and prudence
should actuate us to practice thrift
immediately.
ijln view of the added need of
is , pleasing to note that the
*.50.000 school children of Philadel
phia are being taught thrift in a
very practical way. They are tak
ing advantage of the shortage of
paper and are gathering up all the
old papers and magazines that have
hitherto been wasted and are bring
ing them to school. On a given
day each weak these papers arc
sold. This is not a new idea and
it has been written about a number
of times, hut there is no better
way of giving the children a. con-
c . rc *? example of conservation .and
thrift. All the studying the chil
dren could do would not produce
the results that really doim* the
thing themselves would. Waste
paper from the class rooms alone
of the Philadelphia public schools
has brought in about $20,000 a year.
First Duma Meeting After Revolution
AT LARGE WITH THE INCONSID
ERATE SHOPPER.
Three days to complete your ward
robe for a feature . production when
your role is that/jrf a society belle
is, as you will understand, a very
short time. Even the costume mis
tress admitted that I would be-wise
to purchase some gowns and then
have the others made. Mother
thought so too, and by powers of per
suasion I was given a day in which to
shop.
Early in the morning mother and I
bundled ourselves into our wraps.
The shops had hardly opened their
doors before we . were inside,' well

started on our shopping excursion.
Of course I had no 'time to waste.
I had to know what I wanted before
I entered the store, or I should
never in all this world have accom
plished my task before the day end
ed. From counter to counter, depart
ment to department, shop to shop,
we went. And as we went, I chanced
to- notice how little consideration
many of my fellow-shoppers had for
the poor girls behind the counters.
In the suit department one woman
searched and searched the racks for
something to attract her. Now and
then some part of her conversation
would reach my ears, and I soon
learned that she had already taken
two suits home which had not
pleased, and that fAe was now look
ing for another. Naturally no relia
ble shop wishes its customers to go
away unsatisfied. However, we are
exptcttd to know what we want.
Some of us don't This woman had
no more id,eu of what ah* wanted
than the mtCn in the 'moon. She
fussed and fumed and finally took a
credit check for the value of the for
mer purchase and said she would go
elsewhere.
In the millinery shop a woman
persisted in trying on velvet hats
when she knew she was going to buy
a straw. Then too—although her
type should always wear a brimmed
hat, and she knew it—she tried on
turbans again and again, robbing the
other shoppers of their time.
When we first buy our own clothes
it is necessary, for us to try every
style and color until we know just
what lines are kind to us. But this
woman was well over thirty, and
I'm sure she ought already to haae
known her mind. There are certain
things which do not look well on me.
Not for a moment would I think of
wasting the salesgirl's time while I
tried them on.
And in closing let me say that I
don’t think the inconsiderate shopper
is usually as well pleased with her
E urchase as the one who thinks out
er wants at home and knows what
she wants when she enters the store.

Proper Food for Weak Stomachs.
The proper food for one man may
be all wrong for another. Every one
should adopt a diet suited to his age
and occupation. Those who have
weak stomachs need to be especially
careful and should a&t slowly and
masticate their food thoroughly. It
is also important that they keep
their bowels regular. When they be
come constipated or when they feel
dull and stupid after eating, they
should take Chamerblafn’s Tablets to
strengthen the stomach and move
the bowels. Thev*are easy to take
and pleasant in effect.

Helps Farmers To V
Meet Present Need
For Big Food Crop
Simple Jobeop Method and Re
markable New Plow Being
Used to Dq Late, Plowing and
Prepare Land Better For
Emergency. - \
That the farmer* of the South
and Middle We*t are taking full ad
vantage of the hurry up. call for
more food crops is perfectly appar
ent to thp close observer. On-all
sides we see ground being broken for
corn, potatoes and the like that waa
not Interned for cultivation this
year, and thousands of farmers are
planning'second crops, toy beans,
turnips, late com, etc., in answer to
the appeal of American leaden and
the undeniable evidence not only of
enormousiy better prices, butialn of
the national need and necessity for
every man to do hie duty. :
Late spring conditioni and wet
lamia have) Added to. the difficulties,
but these are being met in ninny lo-
calities by the Adoption of a newer
and simpler method of preparing
land that dlls the demand of the
hour so completely that ita Introduce
tlon.at this time appean almost
providential. ‘We refer to' the Job-
son Syitem of deep tillage and the
remarkable “Common Sense” plow
that turns top soil and anbsoll at one
and the same time, but doei not
bring the clay or under stratum to
the top to Impoverish the land or
give it the usual temporary set-back
in fertility at this time When we can'
ill afford to sacrifice a present bushel
even to a future cart load.
The Job,on plow i* just the thing
for this late preparation of the soil,
both ' now and. throughout the sum
mer month!) for it will be a long
time before iff - Is too late to plant
•oma: kind of food to mature before
the late fall. This plow is simple and
"Common Sense’’ in construction ohd
use and can b* operated without any
previous experience. The cost is
very imsU, compared to the big Ad
vantage, and it ia undoubtedly some
thing ' that every farmer in the
United Statea ought to have right
