WONDERFUL ST % <?*<t > MISER SAVER BIG SUM BUT OEY TO LOSE IT Man Did Not Follow Principles of Thrift?Sole Idea Was to Hoard His Money, Spending Nothing. modern Midas of Chicago, who bad accumulated $300,000 by never pending anything, recently was declared incapable of handling his afCairs. He became incapable not because he amassed $300,000 but because of the way he accumulated it He estranged his family, went to bed with the chickens to avoid spending money on lights and lived on $55 a year. Then he ran afoul of the puipling income tax law and now his children ere to Handle nu Deiorea savings. hub modern Midas was not a thrifty man. Ho was a miser. True thrift enhances and increases the wealth of the world. Hoarding money benefits neither the miser nor his fellows. Wise spending is as 'essential as wise Baring, and Wise investment is as important as either; wise spending' for the comforts and pleasures of life as well as the necessities makes for the thriftiest life and stimulates production. Wise investment makes possible the creation of new wealth. The miser saves but spends nothing. He secures only the meager satisfaction of watching his pile of money ' grow. The wise exponent of thrift and sound investment has the com. forts and pleasures of life and saves at the same time. The foolish man spends his money for what he neither needs nor really wants; does not attain the comforts and lasting pleasures of life and saves nothing. If the modern m ser of Chicago had spent wisely he would have had years of comfort and happiness instead of years of squalor and want If he had saved wisely he would have had the love and respect of his family and associates. If he had invested wisely he would have been competent to handle his own affairs. "Waste not?want not" is still the modern axiom of thrift but "want not" must not be interpreted to mean not wanting the things that make life wofth the living. Don't be a modern Midas.
