BOW LARGE SUMS CAN
BE SAVED ON SERVICE
Moat People Fail to Consider What
Help in Home Really Costs in the
Long Run.
In any plan for national economy
British specialists think that the
household rather than the family
should be taken af a unit. Under
household consumption they include!
(1) services rendered maintaining the'
house and its inmates, (2) the goods
consumed or acquired by the inmates.
(3) the general charges of cleaning,
decorating, offsetting deterioration,
etc.
As a start in a saving program the
British Commission has pointed out
that services should be valued even
more highly than goods, as each per-j
on doing unnecessary and unproduc-1
tive work not only consumes without j
producing, but is also depriving the
country of possible productive power.
Translated into terms of American
saving, this service idea would mean, I
"Do not hire any one to do what you
can do for yourself in spare time un\
less you find it directly profitable."
Few Americans are really honest
with themselves as to the cost of serTlces.
Not one family in a hundred
really knows what a servant actually j
costs. Most of them place the cost!
of her wages and fail to count in herj
food, light and other things she con-j
sumes. Most of them, moreover, have
no way of figuring correctly the extra i
waste of food or extra breakage or,
wear and tear due to the fact that j
i - - the servant does not have the interest
of ownership for making things go as ;
far as possible. Few families know
at the end of the year the important
total that the "odd jobs" man or hedge j
cutter or grass trimmer has cost them
for service that might as well have
been rendered as recreation or needed
outdoor exercise by the man or
boys of the family.
This, of course, does not mean that '
no serv'ce should be purchased, j
Where a housewife's time is worth
more in money or other contribution
to family well-being than the cost of a
eervant she makes'a profit by employing
some one who frees her to do better
paid work than household tasks
In many cases physical or personal
reasons make it essential to the wei rft
Af the family to have help, but in
many cases the time saved to the
members of the household by servants
is not utilized profitably in a
monetary way or even in a way to
make tor real happiness or advanceinept^
Savings on service will give many
people important sums to lend to their!
government and save for themselves
through War Savings Stamps. In th$
case of children work is not only a
practical means of earning and savin*.
but in itself is a valuable diecippine
for life.

ENTER FIGHT
AGAINST BOND SHARK
Plan la Devised Whereby Paraan Who
Muat Soil Will Ba Glvan
Square Deal.
Banker* In all parts of this district
hare been asked to taka part in
the war which has been declared
against the bond shark. The campaign
is to protect we small holder
of Liberty and Victory Bonds. Many
of these people are being preyed upon
by profiteers in government securities
and by salesmen of so-called wild
cat stocks. Gbvernment bonds^
which ate the best security in th?
world, have been traded for worthless
stock certificates which never have
and never will pay one cent in dividends.
While every holder of Liberty and
Victory bonds is urged not to sell,
tiic iaui id icvugunuu mat JJCIsons
bought beyond their buying power
and they now find that for one reason
or another?good reasons no doubt?
they must sell. Bond sharks have
taken shameful advantage of some of
these people, according to reports received,
and the banks are now lining
up to put an end to their activities.
If a man finds that he must sell his
bond he shovld take it to the nearest
bank where he will be given its full
market value or if for any reason the
bank prefer not to pay the cash the
bond holder will be directed to a reputable
broker.
The Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond
has sent an official communication
to every bank and trust company
in this district urging their cooperation.
The point is made that no
criticism is aimed at the reputable
broker who is legitimately buying
and selling bonds and other standard
securities, but a determined effort will
be made, and indeed is now being
made, to block the activities of thoea
persons who by misrepresentation are
preying u:)on the inexperenced bond
"holders.
BUDGETING CHILDREN
Budgeting children will teach them
the value of money and often make
them more careful of their clothes and
shoes. It will also bring out certain
traits of character that nothing
else will disclose and enable parents
to correct faults before they become
fixed habits. Any child old enough to
be entrusted ^ith money is old enough
to be given a specified amount to
ppend each W8ek, and to be told the
value of saving a pajt of it.
Of course very poung children may
not be allowed to choose their own
elothee, but training along this line
may begin very early and a sense of
values and suitabili** may be instilled.
Three grown girls in a certain family
were given the same allowance for
elothes, books, amusements, entertainment
of friends, etc At the end
of the first month May had spent all
of her allowance and stated that she
had nothing to show for it. Jane bad
saved one-half of hers and deposited
it in the bank. She had degied herself
some badly needed clothing and
bought & few showy articles with the
?, QVift >ioH n r>r>anf pn.

tertainment from friends "but wai* too
stingy with her own money to entertain
in return. Sarah produced an
account book and showed that she had
bought all the necessary articles of
clothing, enjoyed several well chosen
entertainments, and had purchased
two War Savings Stamps, paying four
per cent compound interest.
These are typical, end the information
gathered from the first month
enabled the father and mother to
show May the folly of wasteful and
careless expenditure, Jane the importance
of providing necessities firs*
and th? virtue of generosity, and
commend Sarah for her unusual b
ness ability and sense of thrift. -

IRON and QUININE suspended in Syrup.
So pleasant even children like it. The

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

needed a body-building, strength-giving
tonic. The formula is just the same today,
and you can get it from any drug
tore. 60c per bottle.

the digestion, and act as a General Strengthening
Tonic to the whole system. Nature will then
