LEARNING THRIFT
The five best teachers the
average man and woman have
had, have been the five liberty
leans. In the opinion of the
president of the American So
ciety fo rthrift, S. W. Straus,
New York banker and finan
cier, the five loans will play a
big part in the history, of this
country’s finance as applied to
the average American. In a
recent interview on tnhe Lib
erty loan he said:
“One-half of the families in
the United States were money
savers before the war. Now,
' every family belongs** in that
class. As a nantion and as in
dividuals we must continue the
practice of thrift, as it is the
only way of repairingn the
world waste caused by the
' war.
“The average citizen has
discovered that he can save
without instantenously losing
class as a good fellow and a
good spender. Saving for lib
erty bonds has taught him a
genuine lesson. He has found
that he gets along very well
without this and that luxury,
and nont only does not miss it;
but is better for being without
it.
As to how much a man
should save before he can be
called really thrifty Mr. Straus
said:
“He should have something.
The amount depends upon the
circumstances. One man sav
ing five per cent of his income
might really be more thrifty
than a man saving 20 per cent
because the first man might
have more difficulties with
which to contend in his effort
to save. The point is that every
young man or woman, should
put aside regularly some por
tion of his or her income. And
there ise only one way to start
i saving. It is to start saving.”
Mr. Straus might have in
cluded another way to start;
subscribe for Liberty Bonds of
the Fifth Loan, the “Victory”
issue and keep payingn on
them till the bond obligation
has been met.

Spring Cleaning Time Is Here
If a house needs spring
cleaning, how about the human
body after a winter of indoor
life and heavy food? Mrs.
Jennie Miner, R. F. D. 1, Box
58, Davidson, Ind., writes: “I
can truthfully say that Foley
Cathartic Tablets are he best
I ever used. They are so mild
in acion. I felt like I had been
renovated and made over
again.” Don't suffer from in

Stopped Cough After Flu
“I want to say that Foley’s
Honey and Tar is the best
cough medicine I ever tried,”
writes E. B. McDowel, R. F. D.
1, Box 119, Arlington, Tenn.
“My son had Influenza. He
had the worse knid of a cough
and I tried everything, but
nothing did any good. God
sent me a friend with Foley’s
Honey and Tar and his cough
was better the next day and in
two days he had no cough at
all.” Foley’s Honey and Tar
stops harsh, racking coughs;
eases wheezy breathing. Jt is
effective, yet pleasant to take.

COST OF WAR
The ink was not dry 0n th
armistice signed last Nove™
ber until the statisticians h
gan to figure up the war cnJ
to that date. Of course thP
total arrived at was only a!
estimate and it will be a Ion
time before the exact cost j?
ever known, if’it can ever hi
known.
But at that time it was gs
timated that the grand total in
money was $249,000,000,000
At that time Great Britain
had spent the greatest sum
$52,000,000,000. England had
financed the war almost alone
for a year or such a matter and
the strain was beginning to tel!
Then came the German to
tals, $45,000,000,000. The Hun
had been the financial as well
as the military backbone of the
central powers.
nie unueu outres came next
with $40,000,000,000. We
came in late but we came
strong. France followed with
| $32,000,000,000, then Russia
| with $30,000,000,000, always
the biggest in number of men
;in the field but weakest in
jstamnia. Her loans showed it.
Austria-Hungary came next
with $25,000,000,000 and then
Italy with $12,000,000, a splen
| did showing for that Mediter
ranean nation.
! Somewhere in his domains
ithe Turk managed to raise $5,
! 000,000. Little Serbia and Ru
mania gave $3,000,000,000
each and Bulgaria contributed
$2,000,000,000. Belgium’s to
tals were not included in the
estimate but they were as large
'as a crushed and ruined coun
try could find in its scattered
resources.
Possibly some of this will be
regained for the Allies through
German restitution. Never
theless the Allies cannot count
on that in their work of restor
ation. Franc recently con
cluded a splendidly subscribed
loan. Britain contemplates
other loans for the works of
peace and the United States
is calling now for the Fifth of
the series of Liberty Loans.
Compared with the amounts
raised for the conducting of
the war the sum asked in the
Fifth Loan seems very small.
It ought to be very easy for a
nation that raised and pledged
$40,000,000,000 in a little
more that a year of war to
raise the Fifth Loan almost
without noticing it. J
Suffered For Eight Years
Rheumatic pains, lame back,
sore muscles and stiff joints
most frequently can be traced
to overworked, weak or dis
ordered kidneys. Daisy belt
R. F. D. 3, Box 234, SavannaH.
Ga., writes: “I was suffering
for eight years from pain in
the back and could not do an
kind of work, but since I nay
taken Foley Kidney Pills, I ca
do all of my work/' Foley K1 '
