ENGLISH GENTLEMEN
DISCOVERED SECRET
FOUND OUT HOW TO BEAT HIGH
COST OF LIVING AND PROVED
iT TO ALL COUNTRYSIDE.

There were no War Savings Stamps
or Treasury Savings Certificates In the
days OF Samuel Johnson. the famous
philosopher. but the most effective
weapon against profteers and the high
cost OF living was known and EN-.
ployed AS effectively then as now.
Boswell in his life OF Johnson calls
attention TO the successful manner
IN which Mr. Peregrin Langdon mas.
tered the art Of living In the egh.
teenth century. Mr.. Langdon seems
20 have been a wonder even in the
frugal countryside where he lived. Ac.
cording to Boswell he had an annuity
o; 200 pounds = year (about sl.0O0).
and while that sum probably exceed
ed an equal amount today in purchas.
Ing power. this 10 what he was able
to do with II:
lie supported himself, his sister
twho paid $50 q year for her board)
aud his niece. "The servants" says
the blographer, were two maids and
two men In livery: the appurtances to
his table were neat and handsome
He frequently entertained company at
dinner and then his table was well
served with as many dishes as were
usual at the tables of other gentlemen
Of the neighborhood. His own APP
psarance as to clothes was generally
neat and plain. He had always .
post.chaiss and kept three horses"
Mr.. Langdon's nephew, In writing to
Dr Johnson. gave away the secret
formula by which all this was made
possible. He declared that Mr.. Lang.
don was able to do so much with 30
little because he paid for everything
as soon as he had 1t except alone what
were current expenses such as rent
for his house and servants wages, and
these he paid at the stated time with
the utmost exactness. He gave no.
t!ce to the tradespeople OF the neigh
boring towns that they should no lon
ger have his custom II they let any
OF his servants have anything without
paying for It. Thus he put out OF his
power to commit those imprudences
to which those are liable that defer
their payments by using their money
some other way than where II ought
u co."
In other words Mr.. Langdon saved
first and spent afterwards. That Is
the fundamental principle which the

psrtment is seeking to instill into the
