IT PAYS TO
Read the Ads

~ IME was, and within the memo
ries Of many Of us, when but a
few people read advertisements
and those with misgivings.
Advertising had not yet found it's
proper place in the economy Of life.
Much of it was neither informing
nor dependable nor of interest.
AS with other phases of life, time
brought changes. Little by little
the tone Of advertising mp roved,
and it came to be of use and service
to the people. It developed, gradual
~, into a medium of information for
the people about commodities and
products and and facts and figures.

A NEED FOR ECONOMY.

The many plans to reduce the cost of living
do not as yet seem to bring any satisfactory re-
suits. Still the price goes up and here are men
prophesying that within two years eggs will be
two dollars a dozen. If such should come the old
expression. Eggs is eggs" will take on a new
meaning. But certain it is that whether eggs
do or do not soar above the present price the cost
of living is a serious matter to the average family.
Yet not unlikely the cost of living in many a home
can be appreciably lessened by economy of use.
Not in the consumption of less food, but in get
ting rid of so much waste Of food.
Americans are notorious for their lack of
economy. Many a person thinks it dosen't look
well to be so careful about trifes in housekeeping,
and yet it is in those trifes so much waste is seen
whereby the weekly grocer and meat bill is away
up beyond all reason. Into many homes one can
go and find that many edible portions of poultry,
meat, vegetables and other articles are thrown
away instead of being turned into good meals for
the family. 1t has been said with truth that an
American family will throw away enough food to
keep a French family supplied with dainty and
nourishing dishes. Anyway it would pay many
a family to consider the matter of economy more
than they do and not bother so much about the
high prices which they cannot avoid.
This does not mean that the price of living
cannot and ought not to be lowered. By the ex-
clusion of many middlemen and the establishment
of markets where the buyer can deal directly with
the producer the price can be reduced to the bene-
fit of both parties, but the attempt to gain these
desirable ends need not prevent one from exer-
cising a little more economy in food-and also in
some other things,

The practical question Of this day is not as to
whether good roads should be built. but a. TO how
to build them. Here there is infinite diversity OF
oninion but one fact might just a. well be adj
mitted BY all to begin with; good roads cost mon
ey and no community can get good roads with
out paving for them. They pay for themselves.
to be sure, but they do it on the instalIment plah
and they must be built and put to WORK before
they begin to pay. The cheapest way to get good
roads is to 60 to work and build them in q busi-
ness-like manner. Pudding measures and patch
work will in the end be far less profitable than an
outright expenditure Of the money needed to
make tie roads good at the outset.

When one comes across a home in which
poverty is permanently established it will. be
found in almost every case that it is not the IN
dustrial system that is to blame nor the inability
to secure work. Of course this is sometimes the
case, but generally the causes of poverty with all
its misery are seen in domestic mismanasement
or wrong living, or shiftlessness, or all three.
