THRIFT ESSAY.
Following every war there comes a
period of reconstruction. This con- A
dition prevails even in the United E
States at the present time. The A
course which we take now will great- n
ly determine the part which we will
be able to take in the future. Wash- a
ington said "Nothing but harmony, a
honesty, industry and frugality are p
necessary to make us a great and
^ppy nation." The United States
possesses every one of these qualities ^
but frugality. Now we musts seek
that. tj
First, let us be sure that we know
what we are seeking before we begin
our quest. Frugality or thrift
means only good management. Sensi- ^
V . ble management depends upon con- '
sidering the needs of yourself, your
family and your nation, not only at
the present but also for the future. ^
It is not only a man's duty to save
for. himself but it is his patriotic S1
duty. Are you patriotic? Undoubted- n
? - H
ly your answer will be in the anirma- -*
tive. Then how do you show it? Do ^
you sing the Star Spangled Banner S
and display silk flags or are you a ?
real patriot who without much display
works for the good of the nation? *
By saving you increase the capital of n
the nation and promote the thrift. d
i jr .
Saving promotes character; makes
a better citizen; increases the gen- ^
- ' eral happiness.
The United States is a wealthy na- a
tion. It is, however, a nation which
is known by the world as an extravai
c
gant nation. Although wages areJ
higher and opportunities are great
American people are not generally
individually classed as well-to-do with ^
the people of other nations where opportunities
are smaller. Money is
easily earned, and as readily spent.
Government census statistics show
that sixty-six of every hundred persons
dying in this country have absolutely
no estate. Of every one hun- .
dred persons who reach the age of '
* sixty-five there are only three whare
not partly or wholly dependen P
upon friends, relatives or charity for
food, clothing and shelter. This co- r
dition is not the result of anything *
but extravagance. E
t
The future of our nation depends *
upon the boys and girls of today. The
way they are taught to spend money
now is the way that they will always *
* spend it. It is impossible to succeed *
unless one can live with less expendi- a
tures than their income will easily 3
cover. Teach the children to spend r
wisely and conscientiously. Washington
said "Economy makes happy t
homes and sound nations. Instill it r
. deep."* <

ESSAY ON THRIFT.
Not only did the gallantry of our
.merican soldiers help win this great
luropean War, but the thrift of the
.merican people played one of the
lost important parts.
It not only kept its own massive
rmy going, but it has helped to feed
nd clothe thousands of starving peole
in other countries.
Thrift among us was first begUD
rhen our forefathers first came tc
.merica, for besides liberty this was
ne of the great causes of immigra*
ion, as it didn't count for anything
1 the countries of bondage.
The thrift of our forefathers helped
lem gain the great war with Engmd,
and so gave us our liberty and
reedom.
George Washington, the founder oi
ae nation, had his thriftograms foi
ae nation as well as for his persona]
access. Here are some: "Econor
lakes happy homes and sound na
ons. Instill it deep." "Nothing but
armony, honesty, industry and fru
ality are necessary to make us a
reat and happy nation." Now our
a,sk has been so great in this gre?-i
rar, and we have . had to lend so
luch money that thrift means a great
eal more now.
We are being taught more about it
lan ever before.
Thrift means success and to make
success you have to have system
rith everything you spend and see
hat you always have some of your inome
to put in the bank. Let each
lember of the family do a part ol
he work and encourage them to
e saving, allow the children a tee
or their work and encourage them tc
ave it and you will soon see still
lore Thrift Stamps sold; they wil]
tow to be War Savings Stamps.
Just becuse the war is over doesn'1
lean'that we have to stop conserving
ur food, but we must raise all that
5 possible, can all the surplus, use
11 perishable stuff and save the urn
erishable.
To be economical doesn't mean nol
o have, wholesome pleasure, *nutriious
food and proper clothing; we
oust see that our income is enough
o more than cover our expenses and
lave enough for rainy days.
We Americans are naturally exravagant
people, but our women are
earning each day to be more saving
md are doing t&eir house work and
ill their other work in a more busi
less like way.
One-half dozen nail-makers decided
o go into business with a Tittle
noney they had saved from theii
earnings. This is now the $25,000,000
Steel Corporation of Steubensvflle,
Dhio.

So let all the towns and communi:ies
work together at the homes and
;o make the whole nation a thrifty
ind more civilized world.
There's a "V" in every War Savngs
Stamp. If you don't believe it
?look again. Or hold W. S. S. until
naturity and be shown.

You Do More Work,
You are more ambitious and you get more
enjoyment out of everything when your
blood is in good condition. Impurities in
the blood have a very depressing effect on
the system, causing weakness, laziness,
nervousness and sickness.
GROVE'S TASTELESS Chill TONIC
restores Energy and Vitality by Purifying
and Enriching the Blood. When you feel
its strengthening, invigorating effect, see
how it brings color to the cheeks and how
it improves the appetite, you will then
appreciate its true tonic value.
GROVE'S TASTELESS Chill TONIC
is -not a patent medicine, it is simply
IRON and QUININE suspended in Syrup.
So pleasant even children like it. The
blood needs Quinine to Purify it and IRON
to Enrich it. These reliable tonic properties
never fail to drive out impurities in
the blood.
The Strength-Creating Power of GROVE'S
TASTELESS Chill TONIC has made it
the favorite tonic in thousands of homes.
More than thirty-five years ago, folks
would ride a long distance to get GROVE'S
TASTELESS Chill TONIC when a
member of their family had Malaria or j
needed a body-building, strength-giving
tonic. The formula is just the same to-;
day, and you can get it from any drug
store. 60c per bottle.

Terrible Suffering From Headache,
Sideache, Backache, and Weakness,
Relieved by Cardoi,
Says This Texas Lady*
Gonzales, Tex.? Mrs. Minnie Philpot,
of this place, writes: "Five years
ago I was taken with a pain in my
left side. It was right under my
left rib. It would commence with, an
aching and extend up into my left
shoulder and on down Into my back.
By that time the pain would be so
severe I would have to take to bed,
and suffered usually about three days
... 1 suffered this way for three years,
and got to be a mere skeleton and was
so weak I could hardly stand alone.
Was not able to go anywhere and had
to let my house work go...I suffered
awfyl with a pain in my back and I
had the headache all the time. I just
was unable to do a thing. My life
was a miserv. my stomach eot in an
awful condition, caused from taking
so much medicine. I suffered so much
pain. I had just about given up all
hopes of our getting anything to help
me.
One day a Birthday Almanac was .
thrown in my yard. Alter reading
its testimonials I decided to try Cardui,
and am so thankful that I did,
for I began to improve when on the
second bottle...I am now a well
woman and feeling fine and the cure
has been permanent for it has been
two years since my awful bad health.
1 will always praise and recommend
Cardui." Try Cardui today, E 78
