large families and divers other things
to his fellow countrymen. William
Howard Taft will preach economy. BY
precept and example he will attempt
to show that enduring prosperity can
have no other foundation.
AS 1t would be of little avail to tell
the man of business and the man of
family that they should practice this
homely virtue while the business Of
government was debauch of extrava-
gance, the president has taken initial
steps toward inaugurating a safe and
sane fiscal policy for the treasury.
Against Money Waste.
1t is not his idea that Uncle Sam
should be niggardly in expenditure. but
he does believe intelligent effort should
be made to prevent the waste Of money
wrung from the people through taxa
ton. 1t is toe much to hope that the
government can be run with the same
careful regard for economy as are the
affairs Of great business corporation,
but Mr.. Taft has told his cabinet and
other advisers that the ratholes must
be plugged.
That the American business world Is
ripe for this preachment is evidenced
by the utterances of such business
sages as James J. Hill. America was
drunk for the decade which ended with
the beginning of the panic some eigh-
teen months ago. The rapidity with
which money was made was exceeded
only by the rapidity with which it was
spent. 1t seemed bottomless cornu-
copia of good things. When the shock
of adversely came. America was dazed.
1t seemed incredible that in the midst
of such abundant prosperity hard
times could come. When business had
partially recovered from the stupor of
the blow, it ~ lized something was
wrong But what? Our wise men
sought to solve the problem and they

I gance.
Case Of Dogs Hair.
1t has been case of the dogs hair
furnishing a cure for the bite The
hard times compelled economies. and
| the economies are curing the hard
times.
But if there is to be permanent gain
from the year and half OF adversely
the lesson must be driven home. Mr.
Taft believes he can render his country
no greater service than this. He is
convinced that we are at the threshold
of another era of prosperity, and he be-
lieves prosperity can be made the per-
nanent condition in America If re.
sources are husbanded. There Is an
old adage that the surest way to pre-
/ vent misfortune is to prepare for it
The president is convinced that II the
earners OF money will lay aside a share
of their earnings to carry them through
periods of hard times the periods OF
hard times will not come. The very

DESIGN IN SHIFTING BUREAU
Suggestion Of Sherlock Holmes Found
Useful by Girl Who Likes to Be
Well Dressed.

Apparently. the room was comfort
able. but it had one insurmountable
drawback.
There is only one place to keep the
bureau" said the tall girl; therefore
l cannot live here. l must have a
room large enough to permit hauling
the bureau around. Here Ii will have
to stand always so the light from the
window will strike my left side while
i dress. That would be detrimental TO
the small share OF good looks now pos
sessed by my right side.
Sherlock Holmes put me or to the
necessity of switching my looking
glass around every little while. IL |
wish to preserve a uniformity of good
looks. He pointed out that the side
of the body that the light strikes most
directly while dressing will always be
best groomed. The hair will be curled
more artistically. the powder be laid
on more smoothly, and even the
clothes will be arranged more becom-
ingly This being so. it stands to rea-
son that the side that gets most at
tention constantly is going to improve
in the same ratio that the neglected
side deteriorates, and that the person
who dresses for months before a glass
that always stands in the same posi-
ton as regards the light is going to
get really lopsided so far as good
looks are concerned"
The top-fioor girl sighed refectively.

reason my hair is so much thinner on
