A. WAGNER, Pastor and G. O. P. -j FIGHTING THE H. C. OF E. Economy I* a Point of View Just as Extravagance Is. The national bugaboo, tho "H. C. of L." has become the "H. C. or E.”, the "E" representing "Everything,” and numerous authorities have laid down tactics for fighting It. Among the best are those from the pen of Thomas L. Masson, appearing in the Country Gentleman, as follows: "Economy in a. household consists in minimizing the nonessentials That is, economize in the things you don't need, and the things you do need will take care of themselves. Remember this: that if you are on the right road what you don't need today is often what you thought you must have yes terday. Economy is a point of view just as extravagance is. No matter who you are or what you do, you can get along on what you have and be happy. Those people who are always worrying about money are the ones who are always wanting things they don't need. Here are a few rules that members of every household should keep in mind: “The more you want a particular thing the more you should wait until the day after tomorrow before getting it. ‘‘Making an impression on others is often robbing the future; beside, in some mysterious manner everybody knows when you are doing things that you cannot afford, "Pay the highest for the best, not the lowest for the worst. "When you shrink from knowing where you stand you need,1 a guardian. "The things that money buys are in cidental when you cannot afford to buy them. "When you find it necessary to economize on having the right kind of good time, then there is something wrong with your system. "Buy what you can’t afford only when you can afford it.” Plenty of Questions. “My wife Is mourning tin1 loss of a $10,0<Hl necklace.” “Why don’t you advertise a thou sand reward and no questions asked?” “Well, I could make good on the thousand, but I doubt about my wife’s ability to fulfill the rest of the con tract.”—Louisville Courier-.!ournal.
