Frugaity is the right using of them By economy decides what best to do between mul tpicity things By ugay enough and of the leced things employed To choose wisely between foods which combine the elements of palaaby nutrition and cost ln various degrees economy The fooa once seecee " gay requires that be consumed without waste or sufelt
 Economy and frugaty virtues which should always be pracced Neither of them necessarily have anything to do with thrift which saving something for investment and rainy day. with parsmony which is using less of thing than should be used
 Just now the prints are full of admonons buy with economy the buying sparingy instead of buying wisely And the idea of saving usually coupled with the gestion.
 Occasionally newspaper public utters ing against advice saying that will lead to withdrawal of purchases and destruction of the market

 The present is different No man need conse- of the utmost saving provided those savings are not hoarded unusab Even the cash representative of the thrift is put in stocking instead of in bank it will benefit.
 There is more work in the world than men do Work sometimes stops not for the lack of it, but for the lack of the intelligent Organization necessary to carry it
 This great has produced different situation has driven the nations to jog their delinquent ineects under pain of destruction failure The nations discovered only absolutely inexhausibe What is point they discovered there not workers enough do all of the immediately pressing things.
