Mr. Barudh's wealth -is of the sort tbat makes tho income tax man dlxay, nevertheless, ho haa decided that the beat way ho can help reduce the bur den t?o me coot of living is to aet tho ex wnple of existing out uaefesn luxuries.

Of course, this would not make even a dent in the Baruch bank roll, but nevertheleas the patriotic financier /decided 'to clamp down the lid, and Mr. Barnoh thinks, it ifl said that he will 'be able 'to .-get along rather well on lawt year's clothes and with half-noled shoes. Jim Wbeeay, the one thue barber, is now milking more every day he works than h? used to make In a week. His mot'to is "get and upend".
