BRITISH THRIFT.
The British War Savings Com
mittee has become a permanent
institution in England and the fol
lowing declaration has been issued
explaining the" English attitude
toward thrift:
"Quite as important, both as a
source of revenue and as a social
movement, is the restraint of lux
ury, ai'd growth of economy and
simplicity of life among the well-to-do.
Otherwise goods and services
will be wasted. War savings ap
plies, tc all classes and appeals to

Money Invested fhi.s Year in Thrift
Stamps Returns in Five Years
Vastly Increased.
On New Year's day 1&23, there will
begin a remarkable series of divi
dend payments to American -people
Hundreds of millions of dollars of
War Savings Stamps sold during 1918
will then be redeemable. On each
News Year's day thereafter for a num
her of years there will undoubtedly
be -huge returns to the American peo
ple of the money borrowed with in
terest. These- great dividend days bring
A.merican bankers new opportunities
and also responsibilities. How can
new thrift habits be linked to thrift
institutions? How can ihis money,
the product of thrift, be mobilized for
further work?
Already the bankers are working
with the Treasury Department to
continue thrift habits. For people who
save money there is a wide range oi
thrift institutions that will take
charge of funds, put them to work
safely, and return good earnings, as
the government plans to borrow by
general education of thrift in every
land, so the banks and thrift institu
: ms can aid the government by en
uragi';g general thrift and buildjai!
j'uer business themselves.
One of the first steps to be taken b
.anke rs is that of spreading informa
Lion about banks, life insurance, build
ing and loan associations, federal fan
loans, and all other thrift, institutions
The best way meet Uncle Sam'
borrowing needs is to promote thrif
on the broadest possible lines.
Every dollar deposited in a savingr
bank becomes available for nationa1
finance. -Every life insurance policy
sold is equivalent to an indirect loar
to the government. Every obligatioi
assumed by thrifty people such as z.
build 'ng mortgage is a stimulus tc
production and saving, and therefore,
as much a national service as the- di
rect purchase of government securi
ties. In placing these matters clearly
befor everybody in his community
the banker will live up to his opportu
nities and his responsibilities in the
new thrift movement. ..When the bil
lion dollar New Year Days arrive he
will be ready.
TELLS HOW SHE BUYS
WAR SAVINGS STAMPS
'Woman Tells How by Intelligent Sav
I ings Plan She Is Able to Accumu
! late Money Which Was Formerly
Wasted.
"Save while the money is warm" is
the motto of a woman who has estab
lished a reputation both for hersell
and her family by the number of War
Savings Stamps she bought without
apparently stinting in the least. Here
is her system.'
"The only way to save is to save.
WhenI have actually saved a quarter
I put it into a Thrift Stamp without
delay. If I save that quarter on one
thing and then spend it carelessly for
something else, I have not saved any
real money.
"For example the other day I went
down town expecting to pay $10 foi
a pair of special shoes. To my sur
prise, I found there was a sale that
day. and got the very pair of shoes I
wanted for $7:75. f had saved $2.2t).
But how to keep it saved. I knew that
if I simply regarded it mentally as
saving, before the end of the month it
would be spent miscellaneously. 1
went right down stairs in the store
and bought nine Thrift Stamps and
stuck those quarters in the Thrift card
where they could not get away before
the end of the month.
"I do the same thing when I have
saved a single quarter or half dollar,
and I am sefiously thinking of getting
a little penny bank to hold saved pen
nies or dimes until they grow to Thrift
Stamp size. What is more, I am get
ting a whole lot of fun out of this
most fascinating game, the game of
"Getting Ahead."
Get that happy feeling it's waiting
for you with your first W. S. S.
The man who puts Jiis money late
W. S. S. Is never "broke."
Watch your tmt-go today and yoni
future inc-'jme will take care of itself.
