YOUR LUXURIEs.

THE American people spend $685.
000,000,0O0 a year for Injuries,
says Thomas H. Briggs, of Teachers
College, Columbia University.
He defines Injuries as ARTICLES
not strictly necessary"
In 1918, the year on which Briggs
probably bases his figures, the com
bined income of all the American
people was $61,O00,OO0,0O0.
According to Briggs way of look
ing at the thing, about SO, out of ev-
cry SIS the average persons gets, goes
for "luxuries,
An interesting question: Where
does necessity end and luxury begin?
When you go on a camping trip,
you discard at least half of the things
that are considered necessary when
you are home.
Daniel Boone, in fringed buckskin
suit, departed into the woods with
nothing in his possession except rifle,
ammunition, knife and a bag of salt.
With these he got along very well.
Boone and Lewis and Clarke and the
pioneer ancestors of n1any who will
read this lived meagerly, with very
few Injuries.
They didn't have elevators, fliv-
vers, movies, street cars, garbage-col-
lection service and monographs.
They saw circus, maybe once a
year. A hay ride, sleigh ride, a
church "social" and few simple
parties rounded out their years

A five-Mile walk wasn't considered
anything.
Were they happier than we of

ing YES"
The most amazing feature of the
peculiar form of civilization that has
been developed in our United States,
is the constant and speedy achieve
ment of the comforts of living.
In one century, America has adj
vanced the average standard Of liv-
ing as much as the old European

Bur-isn't It fine thing, after

In granting these Christmas pardons

acting only after the state board, set

is employing it at this Christmas time

Governor Hardwick, to our way of

too tightly closed. The law grants
the governor this power, not to have

change the facts.
Prof. Briggs, in estimating the
amount spent on Injuries, saws it
is 46 times as much as the sum paid
in teachers salaries. He claims that
a third of the nations tobacco bill
would support all our schools.
1t is a fine thing to see more and
