We swung away so hard from a lot of hidebound notions that used to fret us, we tried so stubbornly to keep the old war-time “kick” in life, that we went over to the other extreme. Now the other extreme looks tawdry in‘spots and it isn’t quite satis- fying as a steady diet. There must be a sane middle ground between deadly monotony and dissipation that would be both better fin and better citizenship. There must be a place where we ean drink the joy of life without suffering regret and loathing the following morn- ing. What this gentleman in the picture needs (and that means each one of us) is some geod, wholesome food.

APetter from AWRIDGE MAN: I see the papers sqy that thix is old Ren Franklin's day since he started nearly broke, and ended up a wealthy bloke, wo all must do a doubie shift in boomting up the cause of thrift. I'm giad to tip my hat to Ben, for he wan quite a prince of men; of all the things a man can do, Ben Franklin mastered quite a few, and many thingy he used to say would do us lota of good today. So it would make my pencil buzz to write the many things he was; from printer's boy to diplomat, he carried underneath his hat a fund of knowledge gleaned at night beside the yellow candle “Poor Richard's sayings, #0 they. say today; in many tongues, In many lands, the wisdom of his sayings stands, and passing time but makes them glow more bright than But chief of all his great renown, and broke, a lonf of bread beneath ‘his grub without regard to jibe or snub, I ike that yarn because, you wee, I hit the town the aame as he; altho, instead of chewing bread, @ fact that needn't be condoled, for I was only one year Giga Dna More Money Everyone dreams of getting a legacy from a mech uncle. Such windfalls come to a few people. But not to many. The great ma- Jority can never get ahead, never become financially independent, unless they save patiently, per sistently and with a system. Man works for money. If he saves, money will work for him. Thrift is an absolute necessity, te provide comforts for old age, for the rainy day, for protection of family. Ben Franklin was the greatest advertising manager for thrift that ever lived. So National Thrift Week appropriately begins today, on the anniversary of Franklin's birth. It ts » good time to take stock of one’s ability to save money, and to devise plans for stimulat- ing one’s savings instinct—the only sure door to comfort, inde- pendence and fortune. ‘ and ara quoted everywhere Hage Meine BY LEO I And Ifke the holy flames t A fire is burning in my The inspiration that has ¢ # Pierrot was playing; but My Love will come and Baditor The Star 1 read with regret in your paper {and mine, too), of B.
