FALSE ECONOMY
Yon Cannot Win Superior Keult
AVI tli Inferior Methods
A Paris hank clerk who was carry
ing a bag of gold through the streets
dropped a ten franc piece which rolled
from the sidewalk He set his bag
dpwn to look for the lost piece and
while he was trying to extricate it
from the gutter some one stole his
bag and ran away with it
True economy Is not stinginess or
meanness It of tea means very large
expenditures for it always lias the
larger end in view True economy
means the wisest expenditure of what
we have everything considered look
ing at it from the broadest standpoint
It is not a good thing to save a nickel
at the expenditure of 25 cents worth
of time
Comparatively few people have a
healthy view of what real saving or
economy means I have seen a lady
spoil a pair of fine gloves trying to
rescue a nickel from a mud puddle
Several people have been run over by
street cars or teams in New York
while trying to rescue a dropped pack
age a hat an umbrella or a cane
Bargain hunters are often victims of
false economy They buy because
they are cheap a great many things
they do not actually need Then they
will tell you how much they have
saved If they would reckon up what
they have expended in a year they
would generally find that they have
spent more than if they had onlyj
bought what they actually wanted
when they needed it and had paid the
regular price for it Many people have
a mania for attending auctions and
buying all sorts of truck which does
not match anything else they have
The result is that their homes are a j
veritable nightmare as to taste and
fitness of things Then they never get
the first besh wear of anything The
secondhand tilings arc often just on
the point of giving out and constantly
need repairing This foolish buying is
the worst kind of extravagance Qual
ity durability should he the first con
sideration in buying anything for con
stant use Yet many people keep them
selves poor by buying cheap articles
which do not last
No greater delusion ever entered a
business mans head than that cheap
labor is economy Trying to cut the
payroll down to the lowest possible
dollar has ruined many a concern
Business men who have been most
successful have found that the best
workmen like the best materials are
the cheapest in the end The break
age the damage the losses the ex
pensive blunders the injury to mer
chandise the loss of customers result
ing from cheap labor are not compen
sated for by low wages
Any one who tries to get superior re
sults from inferior methods from
cheapness in quality of material or
service deludes himself Cheap labor
means cheap product and cheapened
reputation It means inferiority all
along the lino The institution run by
cneap neip is cneapeneu imu menus u
cheaper patronage Orison Swett Mar- j

Her Directions
Before Mrs Sage left her home for
ers she told her husband that if he
wanted anything that wasnt in plain
sight to write to her for directions
Dont turn the house upside down
as you generally do she said with
unhappy recollection i win answer j g
by return mail and tell you just where 1 1
it is
Mr Sage found everything to his
hand but soon after his wifes de
parture a neighbor came In to borrow
a pattern which she was sure his wife
had Mr Sage wrote as he had been
requested His wifes reply subse
quently found its way into the Spring
field Republican
You will find it hanging on the wall
by the attic stairs ran the letter or
in the box on top of the sewing ma
chine in Ellens room the green box
or the red one I forget which Per
haps though it is on the top shelf in
the closet in our room left hand side
if I remember correctly But look on
the other side too
If not there it Is in the bottom
drawer of the high boy in the upper
hall That is where I keep my pat
terns and dont untie all the bundles
It is among them somewhere I am
not sure but it Is in the second drawer
from the bottom It Is somewhere up
stairs anyway so dont rummage
downstairs
P S Come to think of it I may
have lent It to Mrs Hall Write me
if you find it
Feedlnpr a Knblier Plant
A New York woman has a rubber
plant which she considers king of Its
kind Standing on the sill of her front
window it reaches almost to the top
of the upper pane some of Its leaves
being over eighteen Inches long
It puts forth one new leaf every
week without fail she explains proud
ly And did you ever see such a line
gloss and quality to the leaves of any
other rubber plant Ill tell you how
it is Its all due to feeding it proper
ly My plant gets good rich fool
Every time I buy mutton or beef far
dinner I wash it carefully In a sauce
pan instead of holding it under the
spigot and afterward I pour the water
which has some of the blood of the
meat In It over the roots to give them
strength Then I also give my plant
a tablespoonful of cod liver oil once a
week I feed It to the earth and the
plant drinks it up I never heard of
any one else feeding a plant this way
The idea is all my own and Im proud
of It I have never seen another rub
ber plant so strong and healthy as
mine Is New York Press
