Rank a* tha Lead Thrifty of tha Natlona of tha Earth. Americans are the least thrifty of all nations. We rank below even Ja pes and Italy in this respect. In Switzerland there are M4 depositors in savings banks for every 1,000 of population. In America only 99 de positors for each 1,000 of population. Commenting on this fact the Nau tilus Mtgssine says: life has grown more and more 9omplez at a bewildering pace in America. The more we have gained In our conquest of material things the more we have wanted. We hare not been content with simple living well within our means. We hare constantly reached out to make a showing equal to our more wealthy neighbors. This has become almost a mania among Americans of all classes. And having suoceeded in raising our standard )of living, by strenuous and unremitting effort to get ahead, we have net found our ?elves any happier or healthier or mote useful to ourselves or others. What we need is to popularise aim pier standards of living. We ought to mske it the custom, make it fashionable, for each family to live within its means. . ?? . A man who earns $10,000 a year and spends more is no better off at the end of the year, and no happier, than the man who earns but $3,000 a year. . It is our ideals, our purposes and our standards of living that fclay the great part in making us rosily happy and successful, or the reverse. ma in a "poke." Pako is an older form of the word pouch or bag. The Otitic word was "poo" or "poca," vhenco also is oui j word pocket We have jnst been in- j formed that "the word has oome ones m<\rs to the surface in the speech of 1 Alaskan prospectors, where poke is commonly Mad in designation of th? buckskin pouch in which their Uk< tags of joid are carried."
