have pointed out to uS the
lady who skimps and saves
and almost starves her family ito
economize" and who then cheer
fully rushes out to purchase the
near.Paris hat for $2S.79!
All of us have our pet economies
and our equally pet extravagances
and 1t seems a difficult thing to
adjust matters go as to keep the
balance even and discriminate be-
tween true and false economy.
Possibly we may say that econ
omy, as well as its opposite, ex'
travagance, Is "a state of mind"
What one person would call careful
spending might seem to another
needless and rash waste. Let us
see where a true economy may be
followed in several instances.
Take the matter Of meals and
food. There seems to be a large
group Of mothers who do not re-
alize the amount and kind Of food
required by a growing child. They
think that a very light breakfast
Of an uncooked cereal, and "a few
sandwiches" for lunch, are ample
to support and sustain a growing
organism.
Sometimes they do It to econ
omize, but just as frequently, /
think, they do It from lack Of in
formation and study. These
mothers do not know food values.
the qualities of certain foods and
how much is needed for a child Of
ten, a child of fourteen, and so on.
The result is sure to be that
sooner or later the child becomes
tired, or fails to do good work at his
studies and then needs the care of
a doctor and various "tonics"-all
Of which cost much more than the
right food II 1t had been given in
the first place. Many do not be-
lieve that each growing child needs
a quart of milk per day, yet 1t is
an established scientific fact, and
no canned or commercial milks
can replace the natural product OF
high grade.
There are other housewives who
do not understand food values suf-
ffciently to market wisely. They
may think, for example, that corned
beef at sixteen cents per pound Is
much cheaper than round steak at
thirty cents. They do not estimate
the amount Of gristle, bones and
waste of so per cent In the one
case as against the solid meat in
the other. l am convinced that
many of the so-called expensive"
cuts of lower round, Of rib roast,
of porterhouse in meats are in the
end cheaper and have more value
than many of the so-called cheap"
cuts where the percentage OF bone
and waste is so very high.
1t was only the other Sunday
that l read in a very reputable
paper the findings Of commission
which reported on the very high
percentage Of malnutrition, or un-
derfeeding, in the children Of the
very rich. Their feeding is often
left to Indifferent governesses or
servants or they are overfed with
sweets and non.nourishing foods.
They have poor teeth, are pale and
lack vitality. In this case 1t is
ignorance and not economy which
is to blame, but all the same.
many of us are practising false
economy by skimping on a suffi-
cient quantity Of nourishing food.
Or, again, take the matter Of
clothes. How often we are caught

a little more-yes, possibly, only q
dollar more-we would have gotten
far more than a dollars worth of
additional value. Nothing Is
dearer than cheap shoes. which do

Trustworthy. and cheap. badly

While we can to-day be quite
we'll dressed on a fairly low sum,
we must not forget that quality in
material always declares the per-
son of refinement. We cannot
escape the speech Of our clothes,
and as has been aptly said: "The
apparel oft proclaims the man."
While there is a point above
which true economy never leaps,
some persons fai, to realize that IL
they were a little better dressed
and selected highergrade materials
they would not only look more ex-
elusive, but their garments would
give longer Sc ice. II is often the
most Grass foolisliness to purchase
a number of cheap wash waists
which must be starched and ironed,
when the same sum of money put
into one high-grade crepe or silk
waist would make one look better
and require less expense in up
keep.
AS has been go often said, It Is
not the initial cost, but the cost OF
upkeep which is the true cost in
dex, after all. The cheap car may
need so much repair that 1t is much
more expensive than the car cost
ing only couple Of hundred dol
lars more.
This point Ia clearly brought out
In the purchase Of equipment for
the home, such as a vacuum
cleaner or a washing machine, etc.
One, Of course, may buy plenty of
cheap" devices and machines, but
how long do they last? How much
repair do they require? 1t is my
strong feeling that unless the real
ly best in any particular line of
equipment can be afforded, one
should refuse to buy any. This Is
again particularly true in all buy
ing Of plumbing, heating or con-
struction supplies. The cheap"
goods do not stan up and give
service, the connections are poor,
the nickeling is inadequate, the
traps are unsatisfactory and so on.
Nothing is so expensive as to in
stall cheap" plumbing or heating.
stoves or Ice boxes or any kind of
labor-saving machinery.
Cheap toys, cheap stockings,
cheap pots, cheap tools-all are
only dear sweepings for the dust
pan and the trash basket!
In any Utility whose use Is per-
manent or extended over a long
period, there is no economy in buy
ing the loves. priced article. The
pot which costs 10 cents will never
hold its own against the Accent
pot of the same size and better
material. Far better would it be
to wait until our pocketbook could
afford the Accent article and pur-
chase a trled article which would
give probably three times or mors
the extent Of wear. The article Of
good quality N al rays be cleaned
or repaired or pressed or dyed or
made over, while the cheap article
pulls apart, loses color, cannot be
mended.

DON'T APPROVE IT
Citizens of Greenwood County
Denounce Hopkins Policy.
Not Pleased Over Action Taken
in Fuller Case.

When Attorney General Hopkins
went into Greenwood county in
search for trouble and free advertis-
ing, he walked right into a yellow
Jackets nest. Not only has the Green
wood County Bar association passed
resolutions condemning Hopkins tao
tics in making charges without investi-
eating facts, but prominent citizens
of Eureka have Joined in denuncia-
ton of the public policy of reform
thru newspap per interviews.
Greenwood county lawyers didn't
approve of the Hopkins view of pro-
fessional ethics and the public policy
of attacking County Attorney Fuller
without an investigation. Then-just
to show that the practice didn't meet
approval among the citizens and tax
payers on foot-bankers and business
men have Joined in a protest. Incl
dentally County Attorney Fullers as
sociates in the court house have pro-
tested. Antagonism to the Hopkins
policy of branding people without in
quiry as to facts is denounced by
seemingly everyone from the sheriff
to the police judge.
Condemn Action of Attorney General
I'VE most heartily condemn the ac-
ton of the attorney general of the
state of Kansas for his unwarranted
attack upon Joseph A. Fuller. the
county attorney or this county, thru
the newspapers" says the remon-
STRANGE ''and desire to express our be-
lief that Joseph A. Fuller has fully
discharged his duties and has been
faithful to his trust as county attorney
of the county during his term of Of
flee"
Then follows a long list of names of
prominent Greenwood county citizens
who suggest that in the future Mr.
Hopkins thinks before he talks
Among signers Of the statement are:
H. d. Tucker, president Eureka bank;
John A. Edwards, president First Ma

izens National bank; Elwood Marshall

Edward Crebo, mayor; c. c. Burner,

and number of county officials and
members of the city commission.
Hopkins said he was advised that
Fuller permitted gambling during the
recent Greenwood county fair He
wired to Fuller to enforce the law or
resign. Now Hopkins appears to be
receiving replies in every mail from
Eureka.

EPIDEMIC OF DIPHTHERIA
Fifty Cases Reported in Topeka Since
August O.

Topeka is visited with the most
serious epidemic of diphtheria the city
has had in years. There have been
fifty cases of the disease reported since
August s, and more than half of the
cases are still in existence, according to
DR.. Earle G. Brown, city health officer.
Parents are worried over the diph-
iberia situation and are asking the
city health department about the diph-
iberia dangers when school opens
next week. DR.. Brown said that the
diphtheria epidemic may be handled
than before, because of the better
possibility of tracing the origin of cases
and stamping out the disease as it ap-
pears in classrooms.
A method of preventing a wide
spread epidemic that may be adopted
when school opens is the use of the
Shick test. which is the injection of a
fluid just beneath the skin which Will
indicate whether or not a persons is
immune from diphtheria. Those who
are found to be subject to the disease
would then be given toxin antf-toxin
which will make them immune from
the disease for several years. Such
prevention is comparatively new, but
has been used with much success in
larger cities. New York prevented
serious diphtheria trouble by admins
tering the Shick test to $4,000 chill
dren.
Diphtheria holds third place as a
killing disease among communica-
BILE diseases. Not more than 40 per
cent of the population is immune
from diphtheria.
In the first six months of 1921 in
Topeka there were 81 cases, the six
months total being much smaller than
the total number since August s.
There have been four deaths from the
disease this year.

merce. An indeXed list of availa BILE
rooms has been opened there as has
been the custom of the Chamber OF
Commerce in past years.
1t isn't going to be an easy Job, -

I'VE will have to get hundreds of
rooms on that list within the next
week. With an attendance running
up to or past last years mark, To-
peka's hospitality is going to be taxed
to care for the visitors.
People who will have rooms to
rent during the fair week can help US
a lot if they'll start. calling up right
now instead of a day or so before the
fair opens.
1T is easy to get a suitable fur
nished room for a permanent occu-
pant-we have more of those listed
now than We have inquiries-but the
rush of fair visitors is going to require
a lot of extra housing"

He also would have the repeal of

favor of the sales tax is recognized by

Smoot is prepared, however, to fight
hard for a manufacturers tax of 8
