TIGHT l'IKSK
The protest from business men
a amst indiscriminate thrift talk is
usiumii.i nation wide proportions,
and the demand that the people
should l>o nukle dearly tj under
stand tie different e between thrift,
which means sound buying, and sav
in^ wiucu is taken to mean non
ourth-se, is growing more insistent.
Business has been seriously af
fected in many parts of the country
owiusr to an importer interpreta
tion being placed on some of the
thrift utterances and again be
cause some of the hysterical thrift
advocates hav« presented tile pro
position in au entirely Incorrect
light.
The importance of a proper in
ternre'atkm of thrift is brought
out bv J. G. Berrien of the Berrien
l>urstiue Advertising Agency of New
Y rk. Mr. Berrien does not see
U- n cOEtinuous publicity advocating'
thuft is likely to be injurious to
thr» country.
"Tne more publicity en tile sub
ject," he writes, "the nearer we
w,il ccme to a proper understanding
of tun correct meaning of thrift.
"If thrift is synonymous with
I>to'>er buying, how can propaganda
a', i:^ this line injure any one ex
ce_t the makers of shoddy merchan
dise. vhich is too expensive on ac
count of its shoddiness for even
th» wealthy to buy. much less the
poor?
"It ' certain that the government
needs money: it is certain that it
is the individual's responsibility to
pr. vidj his share; it is certain that
bv a readjustment of individual
budget^ every one will be able
to give support to the government
a- d such charities as the Y. M. C. A
a.'d • c Red Cross, not forgetting- lo
cal charities like hosnitals. relief
associations, etc."
W*. C Heinrich, the advertising
aaent of 45 Rose street ,.\ew York,
is flatly against public thrift talk
that is likely to tie up the arteries
of trader
"It i> our opinion that contiuu
oi's tiublicity advocating thrift
wjuld most certainly be injurious'
to the prosperity of the country
were such a, plan to l>e followed I
out." ■writes HeinricTl.
"For just so soon as everybody
commenced to save and economize,
just so soon would the butcher, bak
er and candlestick maker go out of
business.
"If nobody goes out of business,
then nooodv -will go out of a job.
and '' nobody goes out of a job no
body will want for the necessities |
of life. '
"Buying and selling makes busi- j
ness. and so long as both are con- |
tiuued everybody can work and earn
aoi-? tke wuntrj; will be prosperous.

REV. GRACE E. M. STOKES
Rev. Grace E. Meyer Stokes is the
popular pastor of the First Congrega
tional church of Old Hadley, Mass.
Washington, Feb. . •—To keep
pace with the demand for woolen
socks for sailors and soldiers, the
Comforts Committee of the Navy
L.e'iBiie has placed an. initial order
£cr ten sock knitting machines,
whkh will be installed in the Wash
ington headquarters. These ma
chines will turn out in an hour a
oair of knitted socks which require
the most expert worker two days to
make by hand. Ordinarily from four
to s°ven days are spent in making
one pair of socks. The Comforts
Committee has found it impossible
to supply all of the requests for
socks and has decided, therefore, to
suppiiment with machines the work
of I he thousands of women now en
gage 1 ill knitting socks. If the
machines prove successful they will
be installed in Comforts Committee
offices as quickly as they can be
bought.
At the present time women come
to the Navy League shops, buy
wool, ar.d take it home with them
to the garments. Henceforth,
rwhen they come to the Washington
shop, th»v will bo told that if they
desire, their wool will be put on the
machires for them and their socks
fcr the fighting men will be provid
ed just that much quicker. Ma
chine knitted garments, it is true,
aro net quite so good as those made
by hand. It is said that the hand
knitted cnes will last three times
as lOii» as those made by machines,
but at the present moment, with
thousands of men in need of socks,
it is obviously not expedient to try
too much for quality. Quantity pro
duction is the thing most necessary.
Xio-eover, the machine made socks
are in standard sizes and are gen
erally ouite satisfactory to the men.
Workers are now being trained
for *he Comforts Committee to oper
ate the knitting machines. For the
prespt. the work will only be done
• n Washington ,but any women not
living in Washington can send either
wool or money in payment for wool
to the Washington office of the Com
forts Committee, 141S H Street, and
socks will be knitted on the ma
chines for their qrder.

Why It Succeeds
Because It's for Ono Tiling Only,
And People Appreciate Tills.
Nothing can be good for every
thing. I '
Dolnji one thing well brings suc
c' ss.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for one
thing only.
For weak or disordered kidneys.
Here is reliable evidence of their
worth.
\Vm. A. Quayle /prop., electric
motor repair shop, 991 Harrison St..
San Francisco, Calif., says: "I was
troubled with toy kidneys for about
two months. The kidney secretions
w;re profuse and h.ig)ily colored
and I had to get up four or fivo
times at night to pass them. I
worked in a lead mine a number of
y^'ars ago and I think that was the
cause of my trouble. I became wor
ried and went to a drug store and
asked for the best kidney medicine.
Daan's Kidney Pills promptly re
moved the trouble \vitb my kidneys
and I have had no sign of it since."
OVER A YEAR LATER Mr.
Quayle said: "Never in. my life
have I enjoyed such good health as
I am now having. I give Doans'
Kidney Pills all tho credit for they
rid me of kidney trouble."
Price 60c, at all dealers.. Dont
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
ge* Iloan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mr. Quayle had. Foster-Mil
