A Little Talk On Thrift
By S. w. Straus, President American
Society for Thrift.

Are you making any effort to save
something, no matter how small, out
of your present income?
Bear in mind you can't spend your
money and have it. We are all ia
miliar with the old adage thai "you
can't eat your cake and have it."
There is the wisdom of the ages in
that simple admonition, and if peo-
pie generally realized the truth of it,
we would have far less poverty, crime
and suffering in the world.
You can't squander all that you
earn in days of prosperity and have
competency for the periods Of ad-
versity. You can't waste your time
in idleness or ill-advised pursuits and
hold your own in the race for success.
You can't keep late hours, dissipate,
over-indulge your appetite, or over
work to an unreasonable degree, and
retain the blessings of good health.
You can't associate with evil com3an-
ions and retain the honor and respect
of your worthy acquaintance. You
can't be miser in your practices and
still have the vision, courage and
good judgment to keep up in the pro-
cession of progress.
No, you can't waste your dollar
and have it; but you can spend it
prudently and have its equivalent.
You can't waste your years and have
them; but you can employ them use
fully and have the priceless possess
sion of a good name.
Today's sacrifice may be tomor-
rows victory. Hard knocks are fire.
quently blessings in disguise.
Guard your resources; conserve
your strength; improve your oppor-
tunities. You can not eat your cake
and have it. These are the truths of
thrift.

very protracted or not, in some
strange land there is Immediately in
terest in the customs prevailing and
the attempts to familiarize ones
self with them so that the differences
will not be so conspicuous as they
otherwise would. And we will be
judged by the deeds done in the body.
Of course for that is just what we do
now. A stranger comes into town
from Italy. We note his speech, it
hasn't the American accent. We note
his clothes, his food, his habits, all of
which represent the deeds done in
Italy. And we rate him accordingly.
Now when we pass over into the land
of Spirit the spirit we manifest will
become the immediate basis of judg-
ment of US because that was clothed
here by the deeds done and these be-
come the spiritual habits by which
the Heavenly Acclimated Ones pass
judgment upon US.
What do we actually know about
the habits of the Spirit world?
"When He is manifested we shall be
like Him for we shall see Him as
He is" If We really see any one as
he is it must come thru an under
standing spirit that can enter into
his. The same is true here for we
must have likeness before recogni-
ton. And with that as the hint of
what we are to become we actively
endeavor to purify ourselves even as
He is pure. We do what Paul insists
upon, LET this mind be in you which
was also in Jesus Christ our Lord"
We attempt to think in the Jesus
way, to have the attitude He had, and
to catch the spiritual habits that He
possessed so that we will not be SO
conspicuous when we are uncovered
by flesh.
"Yet on earth clean men we walked.
Glutton and Thief and Lover;
White flesh and fair it hid our stains
That no man might discover"
NAKED the soul goes up to God,
Brother, my Brother"

Only One Don't For Motorists
Now.

"Don'ts for motorists" are one of
the most numerous things in the
world. They are written into the laws
by the scores, into city ordinances by
the hundreds; manufacturers write
them into their instruction books,
policemen shout them at the passing
driver, and wayside signs proclaim
don't this and don't that. In short,
the motorist is don't-ed to death.
Now American drivers might well
give vote of thanks to H. M. Jewett,
chairman of the board of the Paige
Detroit Motor Car Company, who has
just done his bit to dam the flood of
don'ts. Don't don't is Jewett's plat
form.
A large national industrial associa-
ton recently asked Jewett to con-
tribute, for safety campaign pamph-
let, "a list Of dozen or more things
motorist should keep in mind"
suggesting that "a line of don'ts''
Woulu De most eHect1Ve. Here is
Jewett's reply:
There would be no use of my
writing you a list of "a dozen
things a motorist should keep in
mind'-for the kind of motorist
who can keep his mind on more
than one thing at a time is not
the kind that causes accidents.
There is just one don't that, if
generally observed, would pre-
vent most Of the automobile acct
dents:
Don't Do Anything Suddenly.
Apply that to starting, stop
ping, backing, changing direc-
ton, turning, crossing railroads,
entering street intersections, etc.,
and the cause of the accidents
are eliminated.
