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. — Exchange. 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.
