"Jt is truo that the wages of the ordinary working American arc double that or the ordinary workman of any other nation. It is just for this reason, rea-son, however, that the cost of living Is so high Triple the wages and the cost of living will bq tripled. Therefore, not in the rise of the wace scale is to be found the remedy for this struggle for exlsteuce- "As I thought over this subject for some time the phrase 'survival of the fittest' came to my mind.' It seems to me that in that phrase of Darwin's Dar-win's is embodied the remedy sought. We must not look for help from thc outside but from the inside, not in a thicker pay envelope but in a more systematic and prudent . use or Ms contents. We must mako ourselves fittest for our condition. The salary of the ordinary working man is enough to cover over all his wants The proper use thereof is what is so little- understood "The women who ha6 learned scientific sci-entific cooking has learned a way of making much of little, or growing a large tree from a small seed She 13 economical only because she takes care or the little thincs A little forethought enables her to sa0 a little lit-tle here and to prcent a little from wasting there The- sum of thesi oft despised little things makes that big saving. A woman who docs this will be sure to apply scienco to the other avenues of expenses with great results. Then, not only she, but her whole family will survive, and comfortably, com-fortably, too. because tbev will then be best fitted for their particular condition con-dition ln life PUPIL." KEEP BUSY. 'People do not lead their own lives In most cases it is a case of competition. compe-tition. What one has the other wants, regardless of financial couditlons It Is a case of being discontented The remedy for this is Keep busy Instead In-stead of going out and spending money mon-ey stay home and fix over your own clothes Manicure your own nails, shampoo your own hair Get the habit hab-it to walk; it is healthy as well as economical Appreciate the cood thinss In life the things worth while Do not spend money for matinees. 2 theater, and fads which do not benefit your mind.
