of taking a personal inventory; Of
studying the leaks in his own financial
system; of policing his own pocket
book before the high cost situation
will be materially bettered.

money The profiteer fattens today

America, because extravaganza Is
habitual, because men are content to
deal in glittering generallties about
the situation and stubbornly unwilling
