he was talking. His porch light was
turned on, and every member of the
committee and his neighbors stood out
clearly. After parleying while he

Prevent Chill.

If you feel chill coming on. begin
to exercise. Battle your hands and
wrists in hot water and rub them Wig
orously. Jump up and down before
a fire or radiator. Drink hot water
or cup of hot tea or chocolate or a
glassful of hot milk seasoned with
little grated nutmeg. If the chill ex-
hausts YOU, lie down, warmly wrapped
in blankets in warm but well-;ired
room, with all the hot water bags and
electric pads you can lay hands on
about you. A chill should never be
neglected. 1t is a symptom that the
system has received a severe shock in
the way of cold. If it is persistent
or severe physician should be called.
Often chill neglected has led to
serious results.

A THRIFTY PAIR.

Ben Franklin was thrifty man.
To this you'll all agree;
Instead of squandering what he got,
He used frugality
His wealth increased from year to
year,
He won fame and position.
But not alone did he succeed
In gaining his ambition.
To smooth the way, to help along
There stood his saving wife.
And twas this partnership of thrift
Gave them happy life.
Some folks attribute wealth to luck,
Tis fortunes known foundation
His luck to find a thrifty mate
Was Ben's Interpretation.

LIN DID ONCE.

When Franklin was a child of
seven he was given lot of pennies
one holiday. fastening into a near
by toyshop he voluntarily gave all he
had for whistle. A little later he
discovered that he had paid four
times too much for his toy. Realiz-
ing how many other things he might
have had in addition, he wept with
vexation and got no more pleasure
from the whistle He never forgot
the incident. Afterwards, whenever
he was tempted to make too great
an outlay in time, or money. or
energy, he would say to himself.
Don't pay too much for the whistle .
Lots OF folks are using up all their
energy on some snowy thing that
gives them no comfort Some are
lavishing valuable time on a few I'M
important tasks. Others willingly
blow in'' an entire weeks salary on
one evening of frivolity, robbing
themselves Of all manner of pleas
ure for an indefinite period.
Others sacrifice the best of their
talents in pursuing some fruitless
ambition. Still others forego the
simple. natural joys of life in wor-
shipping a snobbish ideal.
They are all paying too much for
their whistle
How is it with you?
Are you paying too much for your
whistle? Or are there some 1919

CELEBRATING POOR
RICHARDS" BIRTHDAY
Government Has Pictures Ready for
Every Member in the Family.
Benjamin Franklin Gave Us Gifts
We Shall Never Cease Using.

4
Benjamin Franklin, whose picture
adorns the 1919 or Franklin issue of
War Savings Stamps, receives unique
recognition from the country which
gave him birth and which he. in turn,
helped to make nation.
Born in Boston on January II, two
hundred and thirteen years ago, he
began his career at the age of ten in
his fathers trade of tallow chandler
and soap boiler. Dissatisfied, he
later became an apprentice in his
brothers printing Office. and such was
his character that he quickly rose to
an influential position and subse-
quently became one of the most illus
tIious figures of all times.
He not only amassed wealth
through wise spending, sane saving
and secure investment, but saved
time to give himself a complete edu-.
cation, developing his gifts to the ut
most as a writer, philosopher. scien-
fist and statesman. He founded the
Philadelphia library. the American
Philosophical Society and the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania he discov-
cred that lightning is discharge of
electricity he was Postmaster of
Philadelphia and later on Deputy
Postmaster General of the British
Colonies in America; a signer of the
Declare ton of independence and Min
lister Plenipotentiary from the United
States to France. All this when
there were no typewriters, no tele-
phones and few facilities for travel
ing
Franklin always ascribed his
achievements to careful saving and
spending of money, of time, of en-
ergy. A great part of his writings
were devoted TO the happiness and
ether benefits resulting from thrift,
and he took pains to make clear the
distinction between miserliness and
sane saving, just as he did the diff
ference between leisure and laziness
In Franklin's day the almanac was
the most popular form of literature,
and for many years Franklin was the
author Of an almanac signed by one
Richard Saunders, in which informa-
ton regarding the weather, etc, was
mingled with wisdom emanating from
Poor Richard" These sayings are
familiar to every American
For instance, "Poor Richard said,
Time is money. Lost time is never
found again. He that waits upon
fortune is never sure of a dinner.
Look before or you'll find yourself be-
hind. Beware of small expenses;
small leak will sink great Ship
So, on Franklins birthday anniver-
sary, the United States pays to it's
great counsellor the fine compliment
of putting his teachings into prac-
tice. Judiciods buying, wise saving
and safe investment are to be the
watchwords for individuals and the
nation during 1919. And that they
may not be mere words the govern
ment is issuing another series of Saw
ings Stamps, as a stimulant to saving
and an absolutely safe and profitable
investment. On each stamp appears
the picture of Benjamin Franklin.
