Whit It liflititi?
Do yon have excess cash?
Yon will answer, "No." Bot
the fact remains that yon do.
For almost every wage earner
these days has an income, in
checkbook or poeketbook, well
above the cost of his living,
taxes, insurance and debt re-
payments.
Yon never actually “bid’'
against anybody for a porter-
house steak, but when yon take
the spending of all average
Americana as a group, It’a a
different story. So it is im-
portant that exeess money be
saved rather than used collec-
tively to bid up prices. If it is
spent, instead iff saved, prices
soar. . . That's inflation.
Ideally, it ahonld be invested
in Government securities dar-
ing the Second War Loan.

Leonora straightened the objects
on her desk with great care. She had
put her desk at the end of her room
facing the door so that when her
mother came in she would have to
cross the whole room under Leo-
nora’s stern executive eye to get to
her. From movies and pictures in the
newspapers Leonora had gotten a
good idea of how the desk of a busy
woman of affairs should look.
With an important scowl, Leonora
picked up a sheet of paper. Now she
was two people—herself, the busy
woman, and her own stenographer.
"Miss Simpkins, take a letter to the
Secretary of the Treasury, will you?”
she murmured under her breath.
"Yes, immediate-
ly,” she mur-
mured back at
herself.
Leonora cleared
her throat and
looked at the ceil-
ing for inspira-
tion. Miss Simp-
kins bent over the
sheet of paper
hanging on the words about to fall
“Dear Mr. Morgenthau,” — “Got
that?” — "Yes, madam.’’
“I am — ahem — thirteen years
old and anxious to be of all possible
service to the country at this time,
ahem!
“I earn a weekly income of from
$1.37 to $2.12 by helping with the
housework and by shovelling snow.
I am at present in possession of one
War Savings Bond and am buying
stamps weekly. I want to become a
member of the 10 percent Club. I
feel it to be — ahem — not only my
duty, but my privilege’ ("How do
you spell privilege?’” asked Miss
Simpkins. “Don’t bother me with
these details,’’ said Leonora)—my
privilege as an American to invest
at least ten percent of my income in
War Bonds.
Yours truly,”
"Get that off at once, Miss Simp-
kins,” said Leonora. “Yes, Ma’am!
You certainly are an important
woman, ma’am,” said Miss Simp-
kins.

HE WANTED
Some years ago a bewhiskered
elderly little man was hurrying
along Wall street, when he collided
with a runner from a bucket shop.
“Come to put a little money on
the rise of the market?” insinuated
the runner, taking instant advan-
tage of the encounter. “I’ll show
you where you can double your
money in an hour.”
“Double all I have?” inquired the
old gentleman innocently.
“How much have you got?” asked
the runner.
“Oh, a little less than $175,000,000,”
was the reply.
“W-what?”
“Yes,” replied the prospective vic-
tim, “but I am trying to get rid of
it, not double it.”
“Why,” gasped the runner, “you
must be Andrew Carnegie.”
“I am,” was the reply.
The runner fled.

Don’t burg out the oven enamel with
prolonged high heat. (Only a few
oven dishes call for high heat; and
roast meat tastes much better with a
definitely LOW heat).

In canning jars of food in the oven,
don’t prop heavy loads on the open
