THRIFT GREATLY
 hISUEOERS7O()[)
 NOAD IN AMERICA
Thrift Makes Ayailable More Money for Things
 Worth While.

k. W. Etter, manager Of tho sav- lnss department of the Merchants t5 Planters bank. is an enthusiast on the subject Of Thrift Day.
 This campaign is worthy of the deepest consideration by every man, woman and child, beaause upon it's successful operation will depend our increased national community and in- dlFldual progress" said MT. Etter yesterday. Ut is the movement which has been designed 70 bring into greater evidence and rra>tice every where the inestimable quality of thrift a quality which has more to do with ultimate success than any other one factor
 "Education, economists, and. ia fact, all constructive thinkers have long recognized the growing necessity fer the practice of greater thrift on the part Of American citizen if cur rational welfare is to be permanent and substantial. One only has 10 glance at history to realize that ex- travaganee, in it's disastrous effects upon national welfare, may be linked to the rapidly spreading parasite vine which, wrapping itself around th , mighty oak, draws upoa the very life and sustenancc until the grand old tree decays, crumbles away and fi- nelly topics over.
 Without thrift failure. dissatis- faction and discomfort are inevitable whether in the life of the nation. cor poration, home or individual, and in dlVidual thrift is tho foundation upon which is established community ami national thrift
 "Before the individual can be eX. fected 10 practice thrift, however. he must understand in what it really consists. Perhaps the foremost req sen why the word thrift is a distaste- ful one to the ears of many of olr citizens is that for years in this coun- try there has been a general miscon ception of the term.
 Thrift is not, as many suppose, niggardliness or stint in the necess. i ties and sane enjoyments of life; in reality, it makes available more mon ey for the things which make life really worth while through the elim- nation of unnecessary and useless expenditure.
 Tt is something more than saving, it means earning. working, planning and increasing, as well as consery- ing It is common anse in actual operation in every phase of human | endeavor and activity.
 Rightly understood, the practice of thrift becomes a positive plcsur- for it is a wise adaptation of means toward 9 beneficient end-the con- stant maintenance of a fair standard of comfort and an increase of life $ enjoyments and lessened share of it's burdens with the flight of years. l "The earning power of the people Of the United States is very great, ! but their saving prosperity is less 1 fully developed than could be wished, though we are far from being a na- ton Of srendthrifts. No doubt, by :.
 proper utilization of the opportun:- ties of Thrift Day, much valuab q ! educational work could be done, and the suggestion to set aside one day
 of the year for showing how
 we would be advanced by the prac-
 tice of greater thrift and economy
 is one that should receive the active
 cooperation of all."

URGES TEACHING OF
 THRIFT IN SCHOOLS
Superintendent of Wichita Schools Addresses Kansas Teachers on
 Duty to People.

Chanute, Kan, Feb. 2.--The teach
 ing of thrift was urged as new task
 for the public schools ry L. w. May
 berry, superintendent of the Mlchita
 city schools and former president of
 the Kansas State Teachers assocla-
 tion, in an address to the South east
 ern Kansas Teachers association here this afternoon.
 There never was a time in the his tory of our country when the neces' tensity," he declared While olr country is prosperous, it is mainly the prosperity of 2 nation. lndivi~ dually we are not prosperous. We have a national wealth of $9,400 for every family, but how many fam - lies possess that amount? We have a national income equal to $1,750 dol
 lars for every family, but the aver age family income is less than S1,000. "The period of nations suddenly acquired wealth is the beginning rs it's deterioration and decay. Ex- travagant, prodigal nations. even it
 civilized, large and rich, have ever
 been the prey of strong, sturdy, frugal ones"
 Asking "How shall we make this nation thrifty?" Supperintendent | Mayberry suggested: t'The nation Of tomorrow will be made up of the chil- i dren of today If the nation of to- morrow is to be thrifty. the children
 of today must be prepared. Thrift doe
 not mean that we are never to gratify
 a superfluous want. Saving is post poned consumption rather than non- | consl1mntiOn 7"

His Rriqht Idea.

When the European war was in it's infancy Hangers back" found them selves continually taken to task. A
 grocer's clerk. calling for the usual or der, was scornfully asked why he was not answering his country's call. Thinking he could see a good customer slipping away, an excuse was desper- ately urgent. Fortunately an incoming customer relieved the position, and a happy idea came his way: Madam" he replied, "perhaps if I told you I've not all my toes on one foot you would scarcely believe it." This aroused the sympathy of the woman, whereupon he got an increased order. Upon telling her husband of the young mans mis- fortune he coolly asked: "Well, have you?" The feelings of the good lady can be better imagined than described.

When the Tongue Is Coated.

Tine was when coated tongue was associated only with impaired dlges. tive organs, but science has now found that many other things beside diges- tive troubles may produce marked changes in the appearance of the tongue. If the base of the skull Is fractured, the tongue will acquire a heavy coating. This fact leads to the belief that various disturbances of the nerves affect the appearance of the tongue. Therefore, if your tongue Is furred, don't jump to the conclusion that your stomach is upset; 1t Is just as likely that your nerves are upset by overwork, eye-straln. lack of sleep or the multitude of other causes thnt ef- feet the nerves.

HOUSE RESENTS ACTION.
RetaliatGry Tactics Adopted to She w
 Temper Of Members.

E Little Rock, Feb. 2.--The action If the senate in tabling on first read~ ing the Collier and Hardage bill 10 abolish the board of control and pre- viding an honorary boa'd, as recom- mended by Governor Trough, started a revolt in the house yesterday after noon. It did not get very far. but there are still rumblings of reprisais and retaliation which are likely to develop at any time. It first came to the front on 9 bill by Senator Pom der, who led the fight against the board of control bill in the senate. to provide for the reprinting of the su preme court reports. The bill was postponed until next Tuesday. The next senate bill was local in it's ma ture, providing for the leasing of pris oners by cities in Drew county. AL though t is legislative custom to vote for everybody's local bill, there were zS members of the house who regis tered their resentment of the sen ate by voting against it, while f. voted for it. MT Wagner pleaded against such tactics, and said it was not worthy the house.
 The house Friday forenoon adopteG the senate resolution by Johnston granting permission for the erection on the state capitol grounds of ] monument to the late United States senator Jeff Davis, after it had beer amended by Mir.
