ECONOMIC PLANS OF POLES.

America recognition OF the POIlSn
army, under the direction of the Polish
National Committee, as autonomous
and co-belligerent, has caused great
satisfaction among Polish people in
this country. Following upon the pro-
clamation of independence issued by
the Regency Council in Poland, it en-
courages them to believe that their
hoped-ofr day of freedom has virtual
ly arrived.
The document of t'e Regency Coun-
Gil declari92Gs'that Poland is self

ultimatum was to start a fire of en-

CONCENTRATION.

The trend of the times Is toward
concentration. Styles have been cut
down; little luxuries here and there
have been eliminated; products that
have called for prodigal expenditure
of materials more necessary in other
vital fields have been curtailed. The
government is seeking to strike out
those things deemed less essential to
a successful waging of the war against
the enemy
This opens a new field of thought
In the course of day, or week or a
month, we do a lot of experimenting
We buy this or the other thing-possi-
bly, because some merchant suggests
it to us. It is an unknown quantity
with us. 1t may be good or it may
be bad only time will tell the story
frequently we toss it away and con,
fess a bad bargain.
When millions of people do the same
thing the money thus tossed away
runs into millions of dollars. And
those very millions might be helping
our government and our boys on the
western front.
Why not concentrate on the known
quantities-the products we in oul

BUYING POWER OF TEE DOLLAR.

with tb. advance in prices
American people have long been
criticised for their prodigal and
thoughtless buying They have specu-
lated rather than invested, accepted
rather than selected. In Europe be-
fore the war common remark of
merchants was, 'Save it for the Am
orleans; they will buy it." Careful
thoughtful buying, such as we must do
if we are to win this war, calls for
the buying of known quantities. Those
products in every field that have gain
ed a reputation for dependability in
service
They are easily recognized Their
names are almost bpwords in our
household speech, Their aames are
constantly before us in the newspa-
pers.
The American government has vir-
tually advocated this course in its
policy of Standardization 1t has con
centrated on those articles, commodi-
ties, machines and weapons that have
stood the test o. long service 1t has
but one thought in mind: winning

PRUDENCE.

When Gen. Joffre was in this coun
try he said that forty per cent of the
casualties on the western front were
due to carelessness-men stickine
their heads over the parpet to see what
was going on in No Mans Land.
In our own daily life we are stick
ing our head over the parapet con
stantly with painful consequences
Our curiosity always gets the better OF
prudence. Rather than concentrate
our buying powers on those products
that have demonstrated their dependa,
bility in service, we speculate with
unknown quantities.
In normal times we can DO this with
less painful consequences But war
puts different aspect on life. Prices
are higher, our money doesn't go so
far. We must get not only the most
for our money, but the best. We must
think when we buy, select rather than
merely accept
Let US resolve henceforth to buy
only those products that nave proved
equal to our expectancy, whether they
be shoes, garments, edibles or auto
mobile tires, Being commodities of
reputation, backed by industries of
established worth, they must give 3
certainty of service not assured in
others These widely advertised
brands are the creations of manufac-
turers whose powerful resources en-
able them to keep them not only up
to a standard, but to improve them
increased cost to consumer.
Industries are built around genius;
corporations rise from the children of
American inventiveness, hence their
products have fundamentals that are
unimpeachable, that are irreconcflable
with anything other than quality
To be less careless in our purchas-
es; to demand only those brands that
have proven themselves is to- be
saving and patriotic.
