There is someone in your family
who has big responsibility.
Food to buy for the table; clothes
for the children and grown-ups; new
household utensils, linen, furniture,
books and all the hundred and one
little things for which the family IN
come is spent.
In most families one person does
the bulk of the buying. And it is
that PERSONS job to see that the mon
ey is we'll spent-that you all get full
value for every cent that goes out
The success of family depends
on wise buying just as the success of
business does.
Wise buying means intelligent
buying. 1t is necessary to h ave
knowledge OF goods and stores.
The best way to get this knowl-
edge is by reading advertisements.
They tell yo~ where and when to
buy to advantage.
Not only the person who does
the buying but every member of the
family should read advertisements.
1t is the duty of all the others to help
the one who does the buying by
pointing out advertisements of new
goods and giving all the information
possible as to tastes and styles and
values.
Advertisements are published for
your benefit. Make use of them by
reading them.

The shadow OF tile war fell once more
across the ceremonies when President
and Mrs. Harding At the conclusion
of the review crossed the 1loof 10 a
special box where fitfy-two wounded
soldiers, all old members of the 106th,
had watched with wistful eyes the
brisk maneuvres OF their former COM
rades and the younger men who had
taken their places and the places Of
others whose bodies lay in Flanders
or on that Hoboken pier. These boys,
all from the Fox Hills Hospital, Staten
Island. had been brought TO the re-
view by Surrogate Wingate or Brook
lyn.
How are you boys?' the President
asked shaking hands heartily. Good
luck to YOU"
Mrs. Harding stood silent, with tear
filed eyes, before a cot on which Doug
las Miles. totally paralyzed on the left
side and partially paralyzed on the right,
lay motionless. The young soldier
smiled cheerfully up at her. The Presi-
dents wife silently took his right hand
which still could return the clasp. and
then laid in his hand big pink rose, her
only decoration.
After the review the squadron re-
turned once more to the Commodore,
