FEB. . 3RD, NOT A DAY OF RELAXATION The Day for Self.Analysis, and Ac tion Toward the Reduction of Waste. (By G. Y. Clement) Spending money on Thrift Day can be just as truly a practice of thrift as is saving. The individual who puts off going to the dentist with a via of saving money and thinks thai he or she ts practicing thrift is really thriftless Today it is commonly iknown that a decayed tooth can so undermine the bodily health that general inefficiency becomes as surely apparent as is the taw of gravitation. The expenditure of a few dollars for the repair of that tooth may represent the most beneficial thrift act that can .be prac ticed. , A person can be stinted in under standing the true practice of thrift that he will stow away a few saed dollars while his eyes suffer and de teriorate day by cay for the want of proper glasses. Investment in a pair of glasses might easily represent the greatest. act of thrift and conserva tion that the individual has before him. . -Here and there we see a man so cervjrious and short-sighted in his imagined practice of thrift that he fails to properly clothe himself in conformity with environment and po sition. He thinks (hat he ia saving money. The purchase of an over coat and a suit of clothes represents to him an "expense" instead of an in vestment. This fella is not thrifty. He is' like the' man who, holding pen nies in f ront of his eyes, could not see the dollars beyond The true practice of thrift Includes it may be said, above all things- nteUigent apt rid ing. Thrift Day, February 3rd, can well fee considered as aa especially appro priate day for annual stock-taking, iLook around you! See how other people are getting ahead! The , truly balanced intf vidual is neither penurious nor miserly. He gets a broad, full conception of thrift from his observation of others. He notes that really thrifty people asso ciate together -that they have simi lar amuiecnenta that their relaxa tion ia sane hat insteat of avoiding the subject of thrift, it is a topic of general discussion. These thrifty people have in their vocabularies such words as "conser vation," "eardug," "efficiency," 'Vo-operation'r-end all of those better ideas which represent the greatest constructive force in our civilisation. n A GOOD PAY TO OBSERVE THRIFT" IF YOU HAVE PROPERTY THAT NEEDS PROTECTION, . aliajw US TO tjUOTE YOU RATES FOR INSURANCE THAT INSURES.
