and ennui. tending to mental poise and

Womans Clubs

The Virginia Federation of Wom-
ems Clubs, converting in Roanoke in
May, promises to be of unusual inter
est; four years old and including sew
enteen clubs, it has allied itself to
the General Federation of Women s
Clubs, and is rapidly taking place
among the older and leading state
declarations. The Civic Betterment
Club of Roanoke has the honor of en-
PERTAINING this year, and is planning
to make the sessions most attractive.
The social side is of minor import
ance but will include an initial re-
ception at Hotel Roanoke and sight
seeing trip to Mill Mountain.
Mrs. Phillip N. Moore, president
of the National Federation of Wom-
ems Clubs will be the leading speak
err on the program for the second
evening; the third evening will be
given over to "Civics and civic i'm
provements; the lecturer, Mr.. Hor-
ace Mcfarland, of Harrisburg, Penn
sylvania, comes as the guest of tie
Roanoke Club, whose deep interest in
this question is largely due to the inn
petus given by him several years ago
in his charmingly illustrated lectures.
1t is the ardent wish of Mrs. w.
w. King of Staunton, that all wom-
ems clubs in Virginia that have for
their object social uplift, or civic i'm
provement, or whose interest is with
the advancement of schools, or domes-
tic science, should ally themselves
with the state federation, thus adding
greatly to their strength and inhu
ence.
The Roanoke Club extends cor
dial invitation to such as are not yet
federated, to send to the May meet
ing as guests of the Clubs, a mem
Der each, who as a visitor will see
and judge the advantages given by
ederation.

ing the problem of chow to keep on,

imposition of "a graduated tax upon

is nothing very new about this plan,
as it is as old as the hills, or at least
as old AZ Moses, who lays down the
law in the Book of Leviticus, in
which it is provided that "thc tenth
shall be holy unto the Lord" which
means that if a mans income is 10, =
600 the year he shall give 81, 900
for the support of his church, and if
he have so in his pocket on Easter
Sunday, for example, he shall put ST

Spending Your Money at Home

The very first principle necessary
to increase wealth is the conservation
and economic expenditure of our
availrable supply, in every walk of
life we are taught to save. and to
save properly is the foundation OH
which has been built many a mans
fortune. The simple fact that our in
come is 80 much, and that we will
only permit ourselves to spend Ger
tain per cent of that income in very
good method to adopt; but the trou-
BILE is do we get the greatest good
for the money we must spend? I'm
less we do, then we are not practic-
ing economy, but merely stinting our
family to put away n few dollars
whcih will never do us any more good
than the one talent given to the SER
want who hid it until his masters re-
turn. Let him be an example. In
spending our money may be found
the true principle Of economy-t0
spend it for the greatest good and to
get the greatest results for the
amount we put out Is the very science
of economy, and study of this
source Of saving il to make study
of the true sciecne of economy. How
can we get the greatest good for the
amount we necessarily have to spend
is the question before us for an an
swer.
If we have dollar to spend and
spend it at home, it has, ut the very
lowest estimate, the value of three
the man who spends his dollar at
home gets better standing with his
merchant, the merchant deposits it in
the bank and increases his account,
! then he pays it out to some one work
ing for him, and in that way this one
dollar has done the work of three OF
four.
But what is the effect if he sends
it to some foreign city? The profit or
the money thus spent is taken up in
several ways. The mail order house
must have it's profit, and a good one,
or get out of business; the cost Of
sending the money, and the cost OF
the return Of the goods ordered must
also come out of sthe original dollar
belonging to the purchaser. In actua
value he gets only about 33 per cent
of the value of his money, yet he
will continue to send his money t.
merchants who do not live in oul
town, thereby getting less than hall
value for it and depriving the public
of our town of the use of the amount.
Any way you can figure it out, O
man, or woman who sends his or hel
money to some out of town merchant

at home does the work of not les.

the King noted the fact that the tenn

called for the priests and said to them,

matter as lightly and courteously az
