his wits end trying to make both
ends meet. Everything going out
and nothing coming in, SO far as rev.
enues are concerned.
[. A TAX on ThrIft.

There Is an economy that saves at
the spigot and wastes at the bunghole.
To practice economy in little things
and forget II in the larger ones Is no
economy at all. To walk mile in or
der to save five cents time may be
many times the saving. II has been
figured out that 1t does not pay car
penter to stoop down to pick UP a
nail, for the time he wastes would buy
two nails. You often see men and
boys in the big city dashing In front
OF autos, lodging trolley cars and taxi
Ing desperate chances with their lives
to save a few moments time, and then
stop for ten or fifteen minutes to
watch some gentleman in window
advertising corn cure. BE consist
ent!
II never pays TO buy something sim
ply because IL is cheap. If you do not
need ii, II Is dear at any price. The
woman who is eager for bargains and
buys simply because she cannot resist
the temptation to get bargain has
swindled herself. True value consists
in getting the maximum return for the
money spent.
Last summer a woman bought six
baskets Of peaches that were spotted,
and thought she bought them cheap,
and her economical soul was eXultant;
but when she found she had fewer
cans than IL she had bought sound
fruit, and the scraps we're useless for
peach butter" and in her anxiety TO
get them canned before they spoiled
she worked herself sick and let the
syrup boil until 1t crystalized, she real
lied that there are some bargains that
are not bargains.
When wave of economy strikes the
household, the wife generally decides
to save on the table, which is all very
well, provided she knows how. But
to buy cheap meats and stale vege-
tables may be the poorest sort Of
economy.
There are some cuts OF beef as
nourshing as porterhouse at one-tbird
less the cost; but to buy bone and
grlstlc for beef is to deceive yourself.
II the family eats no fat, buy lean
cuts. Pork chops can be had with
practically no fat or bone at all. These
are the loin chops. Rump roast is all
meat and no bone and goes long way
because there is no waste. In the
matter OF clothing costly economy can
be practiced. Two pairs of two dollar
shoes will not last half as long as one
pair of four dollars ones. Bingham
costs more than calico, but 1t wears
longer and looks better. 1t costs just
as much to make dress Of calico as
of Bingham and the only difference is
the small saving in material cost,
which is overbalanced by the short

PROGRESSIVE
LOCAL FIRM
is That of Drs. Snyder and Le-
masters Who Enjoy Exten-

One of Clarksburg's most progress
sive institutions Is that OF the frm
of Drs. Snyder and LeMasters, op..
tomerists, located on the second
floor Of the Odd Fellows building,
From scarcely more than speak
ing acquaintance with the people oil
Clarksburg a little more than three
years ago., operating In one small
room, the floor space of which meas,
urted slightly more than one hundred
feet and with comparatively meager
equipment for the prosecution OF
their chosen profession; this progress
sive firm Is now known to practically
every Individual in the city and sur
rounding vicinity. Besides they en-
Joy an extended patronage through
out Harrison and adjoining counties
They now occupy one-third OF the
entire floor space OF the entire sec
ond door of the Odd Fellows buliu-
ing, or about one thousand square
feet. These Offices have just under
gone complete remodeling and have
been newly equipped with all the
modern and most improved instru-
ments and appliances known to the
profession for the examination OF
the eyes for the correct fitting OF
glasses and detecting diseased condl-
lions.
Additional to this large and we'll
lighted room has been fitted up Tor
the making OF lenses and other parts
used in the manufacture of complete
glasses. Lenscutting, grinding ana
drilling machinery has been Install
ed.
These plans and equipments were
all skillfully worked out after a
member of the firm made tour. in
speeding the best plants in the large
cities, with the result that these peo-
pie now have, beyond doubt, the
largest and best equipped Offices oil
their kind in the state.
The contributing causes for the sue
cess Of his firm have been the neces
sary professional training to start
with. the peculiar adaptation OF the
individual members of the firm for
this particular kind Of work, and the
untiring effort TO render efficient,
high class professional service in each
individual case. Honesty and fair
treatment have lent their contrtbu-
ting part.

So great is the contrast between

the deplorable depression in which
we labored prior to the outbreak

Lowest Record for Tariff Rates.

A low record for the Underwood
law as revenue producer was
chalked up for the week ended De-
cember 25, 1915. The average duty
rate for the week was 81. the worst
showing thus far made by the Ur-
derwood tariff since its enactment in
October, 1913. President Wilson and
Senator Underwood ought to be proud
of the Christmas present to Uncle
Sam which their tariff folly produced.
On imports valued at $30,799,64?,
entered at the thirteen principal Gus
toms districts of the United States,
revenue was collected in thes UNI Of
