PLANS ADOPTED
FOR NATIONAL
THRIFT WEEK
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 22 (by Associated
Press).—Ten commandments for the
guidance of a man’s financial life have
been drawn up by a national commit
tee of bankers and others to aid in
the great drive of 1920 against the
cohorts of High Cost of Living.
This decalogue for the frugal man
to stiffen his morale in a battle to save
something from the profiteers and
rent raisers is part of the program for
the National Thrift Week, to begin
January 17 next.
Plans for rallying the armies of
money-savers for the 1920 drive by
holding this thrift week were approved
by the American Bankers’ Association
at its recent convention in this city.
The idea already had the indorsement
of the United States League of Build
ing and Loan Associations, National
Federation of Construction Industries,
Retail Credit Men’s Association, Na
tional Association of Life Insurance
Underwriters, National Credit Men’s
Association, the American Life con
vention and other national bodies.
The ten commandments, as recom
mended by Walter W. Head of Omaha,
vice president of the national bank
section of the American Bankers' As
sociation, are:
1. Make a budget.
2. Keep an intelligent record cf ex
penditures.
3. T-Iave a bank account
4. Cairy life insurance.
5. Make a will.
C. Own your own home eventually.
7. Pay your bills promptly.
frS. Invest in war savings stamps
and other government securities.
9. Spend less than you earn.
10. Share with others. Thrift with
out bene< t.lence 1? a doubtful blessing.
The eight days of the nadonal thrift
.week l-ve- been named after so no
points of the financial creed, as fol- i
lows:
Saturday, January 17—“Bank Day,”
or “National Thrift Day,” to empha
size th)4 nfied for individual thrift and
the service a bank renders a com
munity:
Sunday, Jan. 18—“Thrift Sunday,”
with sermons in all American pulpits
on the relation of economic life to re
ligious ^ell-being and the need of
sharing with others.
Monday, Jan. 19—“National Insur
ance Day," to stress the need of pro-1
tecting one’s family.
Tuesday, Jan. 20—“Own Your Own
Home Day,” to show why it is desira
ble and how it is possible to own
your own home.
Wednesday, Jan. 21—“Mgke a Will
Day,” to urge men to make wills.
Thursday, Jan. 22—“Thrift in In
dustry Day,” to advocate factory thrift
and co-operation between capital and
labor.
Friday, Jan. 23—“Family Budget
Day.” ‘
Saturday, Jan. 24—"Pay Your Bills
Day.”
Supporting this movement in an ad
dress to the bankers in their conven
tion here, Arthur M. East of New
York, national director of the thrift
week movement, said: “Financial and
industrial leaders are interested in
the increased cost of living because
they know that in most cases the bill
for the increased cost is handed by
the worker to the employer for liqui
dation. The bill for the cost result
ing from the inefficiency of the aver
age man and housewife in the spend
ing of money and their failure to get
full value for money received is also
handed to the employer for payment,
either in demands for increased wages
or in increased dissatisfaction and in
dustrial unrest.
“So, many employers are learning
•that, along with plans for stimulating
the interest of the worker in his job,
there must go hand in hand with it
an education of employes in fundamen
tal economics and in the use and value
of money.”

/or washing your filmy things
1 The cleansing of the filmy, cob
webby things that come to our
laundry in your family bundle—
the silken underwear, dainty
shirtwaists and gossamer Geor
gettes and laces—has become a
fine art with us.
I These articles of apparel, to
| which a scrubboard would be
\ ruination, are never touched by
| awkward hands when we wash
S them.
In lieu of the none-too-gentle
1 practices of the laundress, we
| employ a much safer method.
We place these finer articles in
special nets—each according to
I its kind —for washing by gentle
sousing and rinsing.
These nets are purse-like in
shape — in fact they closely re
I semble the common mesh purse.
' They are somewhat larger, how
ever, and made of cloth instead
of metal.
s
Secure in these nets, the sheerest
articles are cleansed without
coming into contact with wash
boards or the hands of workers.
Pure soft water and suds of a
mild white soap, weaving in and
out through the meshes, give
your things a freshness and
beauty that make them as new.
The care we use on garments
and apparel of this kind is typi
cal of that which we .exercise in
the washing of everything. No
where is there any friction and
rubbing, to wear out fabrics.
Your clothes and the clothes of
your family, will last longer if
you will send them to us to be.
washed.
If Monday is an ordeal, we have
a simple relief. Just let us know
and we will have our driver call
for your family bundle.
