1 Americans Extravagant.
United Press Service.
Paris, France, July 7. —“What
Americans throw away the
French live on,” declared Simon
W. Straus, of Chicago, President
of the American Society For
Thrift in an interview with the
United Press. Mr. Straus is in
vestigating conditions in Europe
•with the approval of the United
States government.
“The French”, the investigat
or continued, “ are the most e
conomical people on the face of
the earth and I wish every A
merican could come over and
take a lesson from them. The
Swiss are next and after them
come the German. But I want
to say ths: After seeing these
people I am more than impress
ed with the wastefulness of the
American individual and that un
less he calls a halt the nation
is in for serious times. Dark
days will be the result. More
than any other factor this waste
fulness with us is responsible
for'the high cost of living. The
French, Swiss and Germans
throw away nothing; everything
is of some use. We throw away
all save the best. We are spend
thrifts in money, in energy, in
health and in everything.
“I see but one remedy. We
must commence at the bottom
and work our way up. Reform

must start among the people
and work higher. We cannot
have an economical nation, or
states, counties, cities, towns
or commiunities until we have
economical individuals and my
doctrine is that there lies the
key to the situation. Educate
the individual. If we can man
age to have economical, thrifty
units, the community, town,
city, county, state and nation
will be economical and thrifty.
“Next year at the Panama ca
nal, we plan to hold an interna
tional Thrift Congress. I hope
to see France, Germany, Eng
land and Switzerland and other
countries represented; for since
I have been over here I have dis
covered that the cost of living
is increasing in Europe, a fact
coinciding with a growing in
clination, especially in the capi
tals, to spend money lavishly,
i Especially is this spendthrift
habit conspicuous in Berlin. W<
will urge the education of the
individual in thrift. This edu
cation, of course, must start
| early, with the child in school
i We will encourage school gar
jdens. Experiments have shown
| that young children can earn in
this play-work some $20 a year.
If every school child earned even
$10 a year or $5 a year there
would be a national economy of
millions.
“We will encourage savings
banks in schools. Deposits of
nickels and dimes given to the
children by parents, we would
encourage, but rather would we
have the children earn the mon
ey doing some sort of work or
! performing some honorable act.
Pittsburg has tried this plan to
some extent, and a Michigan 1
school has experimented a little
along this line with the most ex
cellent results. School buildings
are idle for a great part of the
year, this property representing
millions of dollars invested. 1
Here is a big loss. We will try !
and find a way in which the
schools may be utilized for the
good of the communities of
which they are centers. Here
will be a big economy. We will
encourage employers to give
more thought to their employes. '
I know of one concern which de-1
mands that each employe save a
dollar of each $10 earned. The j
money is placed in a savings
bank and draws interest. The ]
only excuse accepted for not |
saving is actual need for the !
. money as during illness as of j
employe or family.
; “The manner of floating bonds
» over here should be copied by
us. I consider it one of the
greatest possible means of en
couraging thrift. When the j
government wishes to borrow
money, 100 franc ($20) bonds
I are scattered all over the coun
_
try and offered for sale by the
banks. A bond may be had on
payment of a first 20 francs ($4)
for instance, and the balance on
installments as the government
needs the money. What is the
result? Why there is scarcely
a rag-picker in France who has
not a few government bonds
laid away drawing interest. Ev
erybody has bonds here whereas
with us when we have issued
bonds, they are of such denomi
nations that only the rich man
can touch them. They are not j
even offered to the nuhlir
“Yes, we are living too fast; |
we waste too much. The man 1
with $10 or $12 a week and a
family to support doesn’t need
much in the way of thrift les
sons, but beginning with the
$1,500 a year man, the rest of |
the country does. This man !
tries to live like the $2,500 man,
who in turn tries to keep up with
the $5,000 neighbor who apes
the $10,000 friend, who apes the
$20,000 one and so on. and in
finitum.
“We’ve got to start right, if we
remedy this thing, and that
means starting in the schools.’’

Confesses To Awful Crime.

Chicago, 111., July 8. —Bos
well Smith, held as a ravisher
for the murder of four-year-old
Hazel Weinstein today confessed

police.

HELPLESS AS BABY
Down in Mind Unable to Work#
and What Helped Her.
Summit Point, W. Va.—Mrs. Anna
Belle Emey, of this place, says: “I suf
fered for 15 years with an awful pain in
my right side, caused from womanly
trouble, and doctored lots for it, but with
out success. I suffered so very much,
that l became down in mind, and as help
less as a baby. I was in the worst kind
of shape. Was unable to do any work.
I began taking Cardui, the woman’s
tonic, and got relief from the very first
dose. By tne time I had taken 12 bot
tles, my health was completely restored,
i am now 48 years years old, but feel as
good as I did when only 16.
Cardui certainly saved me from losing
my mind, and l feel it my duty to speak
in its favur. i wish 1 had some power
over poor, suffering women, and could
make them know the good it would do
them.”
If you suffer from any of the ailment3
peculiar to women, it will certainly bo
worth your while to give Cardui a trial.
It has been helping weak women for
more than 50 years, and will help you,
too.
Try Cardui. Your druggist sells it.
