U. FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 25, 1926. And none are more easily earned than those you save by careful, economical spending. The housewife, therefore, shares to a marked degree in the earning power of the husband. Making the household expense money buy MORE and BETTER commodities is exactly the same as earning more money. Every day The Star contains oppor- tunities for savings on some of the widely varied household necessities—food products, meats, kitchen and cooking utensils, and scores of others.

When a FRIEND deals with a FRIEND, let the bargain be clear and well penn’d, that they may continue FRIENDS to the end.
