THRIFT AS A
STABuIZER OF BUSINESS.
The Foundation Upon Which All
Successful Enterprises Are
Based.

/ In a recent address In New York
| City Mr.. William Mather Lewis con
lrasted thrift with mere saving.
Thrift, he said. is much broader mat
Ter than mere saving Thrift is care
and prudence in the management Of
ones affairs; the foundation upon
which every successful and enduring
business enterprise is based.
The man who boards his money, who
deprives himself of the decencies of
lie in order to accumulate, is going
counter TO the Declaration of indie
pendence-He Is narrowing his life,
restricting his liberty. and shutting
himself away from true happiness.
He who spends his money wisely,
who aportions his dollars intelligently
against the needs of today and the
needs of tomorrow, who, in other
words, is practicing thrift. is investing
in Liberty and happiness, is securing
life more abundantly.
The miser lays aside a surplus by
refusing to buy those things which
necessity and comfort and the good OF
his community require The thrifty
man buys literally and intelligently;
he makes very sure that the shoes for
which he exchanges the product of
many hours labor contain good work
manship and good material; that the
meat he carries home at night goes
on the table. not in the garbage can.
He insists that the dollar he hands
the employee be earned by an hour of
honest labor A thrifty man is careful
of other things than money. Such a
one does not arrive at the station half
an hour before train time. II his time
is worth three dollars an hour he does
not use it up on " ,rk that three-dnl-
lar-a-day assistant could do. Thrift
consists in making the most of ones
resources. tangible and intangible
making the most OF them for the bene-
At OF self and OF ones fellows.
AS a means OF thrift, Mr.. Lewis ad-
vocated the formation of War Savings
Societies and investment in War Saw
ings Stamps.

HOW THE FAMILY INCOME.
SHOULD BE DISTRIBUTED
Every Family Should Have Own Per-
sonal Household Budget

The household is a corporation
with certain definite obligations
and more or less certain income,
and it should, therefore, have q
definite budget.
No general budget can be so framed
as to fit the needs OF every family.
Families differ, even when identical In
size, number, sex and general situa.
ton, but no family can thrive and
progress without sound and sane Il.
nancing, without arrangement of rea-
sonable financial margin. without reg.
ular saving and investments, such as
are offered by Thrift and War Savings
Stamps; and only Intelligent adhar.
ence to an intelligent budget can be
trusted, under ordinary circumstances,
TO bring about the desired results.
Methods OF appropriation, however,
differ; a method which proves feasible
in a given family would be worse than
useless in another; but certain car.
dinai principles may be safely laid
down.
The amount of possible savings
should be set apart definitely and
rig1dly adhered to. Other allowances
may be variable or they may be held
within hard and fast limits. One plan
after another may be tried, IL liked
until the best one suited is found.
All things considered. the most easily
efficient budget usually is that which
allows certain share OF the income
for each budget head listed, holds
rtgidly within the items of appropria
ton. and wisely applies any balance
or surplus to the savings or recreation
account
