Little Talks on Thrift
n y. w. STRAIS.
Irra. American Society for Thrift.

There never was time in tho his
tory Of this country when thrift was
az much needed as now. The poorer
classes OF people arc, i'm the high cost
OF food products, paying more than
their share OF the obligations imposed
upon NJ by tic war abroad and thrift
lcssncss ~ home. The pathetic aspect
OF tho situation lies in the fact that
those who are least responsible suffer
most. day tho admission is gen
orally made that cXtravaSant living is
ono of tho bcsctting sins OF American
life. The average American home
WASTES excessively. Statisticiuns tell
US that we waste sS.000.000,O00 yearly
In this country. Experts In such mat
tcrs have nSured out that 10 per cent
OF our food stuns is wasted by the
houSck cpcrs in this country.
Thrift consists. TO q great extent. in
,hn saving OF little things. Benjamin
Franklin said, Tho art Of getting rich
consists very much in thrift. MI men
arc not equally qualified for getting
money, but 1t is in tho power Of every
one to practice this virtue"
superintendent claXton. of The Ma
tional bureau OF Education. estimates
that the labor OF tho children Of this
country. which could he directed to
tho cultivation OF school gardens. back
yards and vacant lots this spring and
summer, might add 5000. 600. 900 to the
national wealth each year.
An instance OF tho value OF thrift
in little things is furnished by the
InterborouGh Rapid Transit Company,
Of New York. which secures an income
OF more than $4,000 Il year from the
sale Of old newspapers left on tho
seats by subway passengers. Ono of
our great railroad corporations re-
uuircs that every nut and bolt be re-
paired and used again, and the cotton
waste used in wiping engines is
cleansed and used again for packing
journals.
Thrift OF time is just as essential
as thrift in money, aud saving the
seconds la just as valuable as saving
pennies. II would be II good idea ir
people would form tho habit of keep
ing strict account of what they do
every minute of every day. They
would soon be amazed at the amount
Of time they waste. 1t would be Il
good idea, merely as an cnlightenins
experiment. If Tor no other reason IL
