Economy as n Duty

THERE is one service which every house
l wife render now to her country. 1t
is economy, especially in the consumption OF
foodstuffs. All the acres added TO the ma
TONS farms. all the home gardens and newly
titled fields will do little good. unless America
as the President has urged, shall correct
her unpar enable fault of wastefulness and
extravaganza
American households must be placed now
on a footing. Simplicity, and economy
should be the watchwords in every home
Waste is worse than folly; il is minor form
of treason. In the homes OF the poor pre-
vailing prices enforce economies. but the
wealthy should submit themselves volun-
tarily TO this requirement which sound pa
triotism imposes
