' Possessions Should Be Our Servants Economy has been a favorite theme in recent years for those who endea- vor to discover a remedy for the fi nancial stress which people have ex perienced. It is true that the vast majority of us do not have to be urged to spend as much as we ought to spend. The habit is natural. On the other hand there are those who ex perience an anguish of spirit in spending of money even when the benefits received are worth more than the money would be if allowed to remain unspent. Many of us who acquire the habit of economy forget to quit even after the habit is not a matter of necessity, and we become blind to the fact that life is thus ren dered narrow and dreary. It might be argqed that regardless of a man’s wealth he might as well be a pauper as to continually live as (hough he were one. There ^s wisdom in mak ing our possessions our servants rather than our masters. Dr. Felder Smith Dr. Duncan S. Felder OPTOMETRISTS Specialists in Eye Examinations Office Bonn: Dr. Smith.
