AND WOMEN TOO » * i *■> Are Interested in Thrift Dav to be Observed All Over the Land ON FEBRUARY THIRD Woman’s Sphere in jistablishing Frugality to be Exemplified That Day. Samuel Johnson called thrift the daughter of Prudence, the sister of Temperance and the mother of Liberty. Another philosopher refers to Frugality, as the mother of all virtues, while there is an old Scottish proverb, "A man who would thrive must ask his wife’s leave.” Thus is the sex recognized in its essentialness in developing and maintaining thrift, one of the greatest and most valuable virtues of humanity. It is woman who usually dominates tiisk. procedure and character of the household, and it is therefor upon her <the well-being of society must depend. Consequently those behind the annual Thrift Day movement are earnestly hoping for the co-operation of womankind in making the observance of the day practical demonstrations of thriftiness in individual as .well as household conduct. With mothers, daughters, sisters, wives and sweethearts setting the examples, it naturally follows that mere man will have no alternative but to follow. Thrift day is to be observed by individuals not only in concentrating their thoughts on methods of frugality, but in some specific act that will be a start in the permanent practice of thrift. Its establishment means an annual check at least against individual waste, and it is the first practical movement of nation-wide scope that possesses every element of successful accomplishment. Woman’s part is important, and it can be no better demonstrated than in the home. Cicero said: “In the family, as in the state, the best sourpe of wealth is economy." But it must be remembered that while economy signifies saving, thrift means both saving and increasing. It is in the home that mind and character are formed, and it is there, under the influence of woman, that the individuals who form the society that moulds the Xffairs of the world, receive the definite impressions that guide their future actions and destinies. The management of a family and a household should have method, economy, tact, and that essential of thrift, the ability for adapting means to ends. The kitchen offers the vital spot in the househould for the establishment ■of thrift. Sir Walter Scott’s kitchen had a motto, “Waste not, want not.” If every housewife would engrave this in her mind as well as her kitchen on Thrift Day, February 3d, a tremendous step forward will have been taken. The importance of the kitchen in practicing thrift can be better appreciated when one recognizes that the greater part of human labor is devoted to the direct production of the materials for food. And this food is bought and prepared by women for ’consumption by humanity. If they do not earn the family income, they at least have to spend that which is earned, and for this reason alone, should utilize sound judgment in the spending. That women will do their full share and more in creating individual thrift there cannot be any question. Why, the very first savings bank was established by a woman—Miss Priscilla Wakefield, of Tottenham, Middlesex. England—toward the .close of the eighteenth century. NATIONAL BANK, Decatur, Ind.
