Because of the impending possible
shortage of fodstuns we have hys-
terical demands for economy in every
line of human endeavor Waste is
bad but an discriminating economy
Is worse.
Every mercantile business and
every factory in America is a part of
our great national industrial mach
inc. which in time of war, is even
more important to the progress of the
country than it is in times of peace.
THE hue and cry raised in the in
terests of economy while well-inten-
toned is very apt to have an exactly
negative feet from that intended.
An discriminating economy is
worse than waste.

The declaration Of war is not only
going TO bring back TO US the mill
lions and millions OF dollars that
were advanced to Europe in the ear
lier stages OF the war, but is going
TO set lose additional millions within
our own country. In so far as ma

daily habits and an open business
