HOW LARGE sums CAN
Be SAVED ON SERVICE
Most People Fail to Consider What
Help In Homo Really Costs In the
Long Run.

In any plan for national economy
British specialists think that the
iousehdd rather than the family
should be taken AZ unit. Under
household consumption they include
% services rendered maintaining the
house and Its inmates, az the goods
consumed or acquired by the inmates,
60 the general charges OF cleaning,
decorating, offsetting deterioration.
etc.
As q start In . saving program the
British Commission has pointed out
hat services should be valued even
more highly than goods. as each per
son doing unnecessary and unproduo
i've work not only consumes without
producing, but is also depriving the
,Guntry OF possible productive power
Translated into terms OF American
saving, this service idea would mean
DO not hire any one to do what you
ran do for yourself in spare time I'M
ess you find It directly profitable"
Few Americans are really homes,
with themselves as to the cost OF ser
vices. Not one family In Q hundred
eally knows what a servant actually
costs. Most Of them place the cos,
a her wages and fail to count in heI
.ood, light and other things she con
sumes. Most OF them. moreover. have
40 way Of figuring correctly tho extrs
waste OF food or extra breakage o,
wear and tear due to the fact thai
The servant does not have the interest
II ownership for making things go az
lar as possible Few families know
1t the end OF the year the important
Total that the odd Jobs" man or hedge
cutter or grass trimmer has cost then
for service that might as well have
been rendered as recreation or need
ed outdoor exercise by the man o.
boys OF the family.
This. Of course. does not mean tina
20 service should be purchased
Where q housewives time Is wortl
more in money or other contribution
to family wellbeins than the cost OF
servant she makes q profit by employ
ing some one who frees her TO do bet
ter paid work than household tasks
In many cases physical or persona
reasons make It essential to the wei
fare Of the family to have help, but II
many cases the time saved to tn
members Of the household by sci
wants is not utilized probably in
monetary way or even in way Z
make for real happiness or advance
mont.
Savings on service will give man
people important sums to lend TO thei
government and save for themselve
through War Savings Stamps. In IN
case Of children work is not only
practical means Of earning and say

BANKS ENTER FIGHT
AGAINST BOND SHARK
Plan 10 Devised Whereby Person Whs

Square Deal.

Bankers In all parts Of this de-
Ttrict have been asked to take part IN
the war which has been declared
against the bond shark. The cam
paign is to protect e0e small holder
Of Liberty and Victory Bonds. Many
Of these people are being preysd upon
by prohteers in government securt.
ties and by statesmen OF so-called Wild
cat stocks. Government bondSs
which are the best security in the
world. have been traded for worthless
stock certificates which never have
and never will pay one cent In divi.
dends.
While every holder Of Liberty and
Victory bonds Is urged not to sell.
the fact is recognized that some per.
sons bought beyond their buying power
and they now find that for one reason
or another-good reasons no doubt
they must sell. Bond sharks have
taken shameful advantage Of some Of
these people, according to reports re-
ceived, and the banks are now lining
up to put an end 10 their activities.
II a man nnds that no must sell his
bond he should take II to the nearest
bank where he will DO given its full
market value or II for any reason the
bank prefer not to pay the cash the
bond holder will be directed to . rep

mond has sent an official communi-
cation to every bank and trust com.
pany in this district urging their 90
operation. The point is made that no
criticism Is aimed at the reputable
broker who is legitinsately buying
and selling bonds and other standard
securities. but determined effort will
be made and indeed IL now being
made. to block the activities OF thoes
persons who by misrepr presentation are
preying upon the inexperienced bond
holders.

Be Careful in Using
 Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and p.epared shampoos contain too much alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle. q
 The best thing to use is just plain null siied cocoanut oil, for it is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and beats the most expensive soaps or any, thing else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months.
 Simply moisten the hair with water, and rub it in, about teaspoonful is all of reh creamy aher ceanses I aDqhns thor oughly, and rinses out easily.
