ALL NOW LEAD SIMPLE LIFE
Why Sensible Men and Women Are
Doing Without luxuries to Which
They Were Accustomed.

Every sensible man and woman to-.

many things which are difficult to get,
so many controllers are hemming us
In with prohibitions that we are max
ing our lives simpler and more simple
every day. Curiously enough, the
large majority of us are feeling all the
better for it! We walk where we once
motored and the exercise sets the stag
nant blood In our veins running with
fresh vigor. We eat less and digest
more. SO little have we felt the deprl.
walton that most of us are declaring
that for the future 1t is to be the
simple life forever There are Of
course, some who struggle in their alb
surd vanity to keep the old life alive.
Their time Is mainly spent in evading
the orders Of the food controller or in
discovering new sources of eXtraya-
gance. Some day they will realize
their mistake and join the happy army
of simple-lifers. You cannot have
your cake and eat it. Our cake today
is victory In the great war for free.
dom, truth and Justice. That can only
he ours If we deny ourselves all the
other cakes we once loved SO much.
The simple-lifer is doing his duty and
that is why he Is happy His is the

us, "the people perish. London Dali
