The Art of Doing Without
As time goes by the virtu j of
self denial is more and more
apparent, and the. art of
doing without more needed, The
social fascinations of today, the
craze for dtess, amusements,
recreation, automobiling—all the
glitter and attractions of a mate
rialistic age— call loudly for self,
denial and careful living. And
those who try to keep apace with
ttie crowd set a pace that kills.
No man ever succeeds who does
not learn to do without. The
very basis of religion, of good con
duct, or good character lies in the
virtue of self control. It is the
highest evidence of self mastery
and the foundation of all social
and business success.
Did you ever stop to watch a
crowd around a street fakir selling
some article of household use —a
potato peeler, for instance? How
he persuaded the men that their
wives could not peel potatoes
without it, found ready purchasers,
who laid down their quarters,
marched home and persented the
article with pride and a righteous
feeling of “helping wife in her
daily labor,” only to find her peel
ing potatoes the same old way the
next day?
Doing without may be difficult
at times, but it gets you some
where. All successful careers de
pend upon it. Savingmoney and do
ing without is a painful process, but
the results are mighty pleasant.
Sacrifice was never easy and self
denial never popular. But you
can’t have the big things of life if
you insist upon having thousands
of little things all the time. The
boy who wants a bicycle must do
without candy and soda and the
like, but he knows his wheel will
give him lasting pleasures that
overbalance the little sacrifices.
Saving for a purpose is not dif
ficult, and self denial for larger
pleasures becomes a joy. It is
easy to follow 7 the line of least
resistance—to do the easy thing;
to follow the crowd. But follow
ing crowds brings you to no desi
rable goal.
It is a splendid achievement —
this doing without and few leam
it. But the structure it build, is a
lasting and beautiful one.
And the pitiful fact is that if vou
do not learn to do without now,
there may come a time when you
have to do without, and then it
will be too late. That is the les
son of the poor house and the
bread line. And as sure as you
practice the sii\of self gratifica
tion, and ignore the virtue oi self
control, listen to the lure of the
shop window, the amusement
column, the appeal that is on
every hand to spend, and let your
self go, you too will join a crowd
that is sliding down hill to no
where, only to get a hard bump at
the bottom, when it is too late to
mend and wake up to vain re
grets. Get the thrift habit now —
and thrift is just doing without,
until doing without becomes a
habit that has untold blessings in
store for those who practice it. —

Bank Official Recommends Them
J. T. Norreli, V. P. Bank of
Cottonwood, Tex., writes: “Be
yond doubt I have received great
relief and take great pleasure in
recommending Foley Kidney Pills.
Kidney trouble makes one worried
and hopeless, by aches, pains,
soreness, stiffness, backache,
rheumatism. These symptoms, as
well as sleep disturbing bladder
disorders, yield quickly to Foley
Kidney Pills. They cast out
poisons and purify the blood.
