TALKS ON THRIFT
No. 16-THRIFTY ALIENS.

Thrift, to become a fixed habit
must be practised with regularity
and be given an opportunity for
exercise over an appreciable length
OF time. And unless it becomes
fixed as habit it is of compare
livery little value. Spasmodic saw
ing followed by spasmodic extrav-
agance makes for ruin as surely
as does habitual improvidence."
Frank &. Mortimer, Berkeley, Cali
fornia.
A Swiss banker, visiting in this
country recently, said:
Il notice that it is the custom in
America for men to SPEND most OF
their salaries. They do not appear to
be concerned about the rainy" day.
In Switzerland and other countries of
Europe the people have developed the
saving habit.
There is so much money deposited
In the savings banks in our country
that we have to go to foreign coun-
tries to find investments for it.
In America the people seem to be-
lieve in keeping plenty of money in
circulation. In a general way, this
policy is beneficial, but it shows lack
of thrift in the individual.
There should be a happy medium
between the saving habit of the Euro
peans and the spending habit of Amer
leans. There is a halfway ground in
which the advantages of both methods
may be realized"
The American people owe a great
deal to the aliens, or those who quite
recently have become naturalized, for
lessons in thrift.
The average foreignborn citizen and
the average alien is not a spendthrift
In single year the foreign born peo-
pie of Massachusetts have sent abroad
via one route, over $9,000,000. In addi-
ton these same foreign-born people
have saved--deposited in banks or
elsewhere at home-other millions. In
this respect, the old-time American
can afford to take off his hat to most
OF the foreign-born, who are among
our most frugalpeople.

TALKING THROUGH HATS.

TALKING THROUGH HAI
The few published remarks President
Wilson made to members of the Demo
bratic National Committee but whet our
appetite for those concealed. 1t is easy to
imagine that the president explained to
his party committee how he had been de-
hbcratelJ trying to trim his administration
sails to current breezes. He thinks that
he has trimmed so much that the only de-
batable issue left is tie tariff and he init
mates willingness to reverse himself on
that as he can ascertain just what course
will be required at the end of the war In
his cOmplacence over his achievements he
said that the opponents who predicted his
defeat were talking through their hats.
The hat has furnished politics with Inn
agery before. The Democrats sought to
associate Benjamin Harrison with his grand
fathers headgear- MT. Wilson once singled
Mr. Bryan out as the typical unscrupulous
dmagogue Of America and expressed wish
for some way, al once digni6ea yet effect
i've, to knock Bryan into a cooked hat,
once for all" Col RoOsevelt's cOntribu-
ton Of hat to the ring will hnger long in
the memory. MIR. Wilson will not soon
hear the lash of his slang imagery He has
acquired something of reputation himself
for using the ventilation holes in his hat
for purposes of conversation. He admit
ted in his 1912 letter TO John Brisben Wal
ker that his History Of the American Peo-
pie was written with ignorance and preju-
dice of place and that he was not in po-
sitiOn to think while writing it. He has
confessed that what he used to say about
foreign immigration, the initiative and re-
ierendum and organized labor came through
his hat. His New jersey speech on tolls,
his Harvey correspondence, his ''too-proud-
to-6ght" speech, his varying expressions
about Mexico and his inconsistent attitude
toward civil service, war loans, export of
arms, public econmy and the binding force
Of platform pledges prove him almost
professional hat talker.
On the subject of preparedness he must
have talked through his hat last December
wnen he poked fun at the nervous and
excited" people who contended that the
country had been negligent Of national
defense He used rhetorical opiates to
deaden the effect of Secretary Carrison's
annual report Of 1914 urging military pre-
paratton. He put his stamp of aPpre val
on Secrctary Daniels fatuous report last
year. He has been on both sides of nearly
all current problems except the tariff and
he shows signs Of Topping on that. The
saddest feature is that he can never tell
tell when he's talking through his hat.

a weak, shaky, gone" feeling when
the stomach is empty-these are the
usual symptoms, but in the case of
some highly nervous people the sight
of food or the approach of meal-time
may cause vomiting.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are espe-
cially useful to sufferers from nervous
dyspepsia as they not only build up the
general physical condition but also act
directly on the nerves, STRENGTHENING

with proper regulation of the diet,
afford the most correct and successful
way in which V and functional
