The Simple Life
Charles Wagner's book entitled,
"The Simple Life" which was in
great vogue in this country at one
time, owing to endorsement given it
| by Theodore Roosevelt, protested
against the extravaganza of high life
which was undermining the morale
of the race. In the words of Moses
Folsom we might say that now is the
time for simple living-the rare habit
or art of doing without. 1t may be
the war will help all of US to learn a
little from the example great peo-
! pie of every age have set before US
; in simple living. It may put US to
enquiring whether many of the nom
essentials and trivialities we pay
dearly for are worth what they cost.
1t the war continues personal sacri-
| fees on the part of every American
will multiply to a degree not realized
at this time. President Wilson has
said, "Anything but compulsion of
the spirit of America" This will not
| be necessary if Americans respond
willingly to every duty. The time
may be near at hand when it will not
| only be a doing without the things
we want, but the things we need.
