In its final develop ment it is neither national, sectional. regional or factional but can be cele brated by all numanny, to me ulti mate and lasting benefit of individ uals, communities, nations and the world. Economists for years have been agreed on the increasing evidences 'of waste on the part of the average per son, but the remedies advanced have been various, and frequently to im practical for successful application. From Philadelphia, with every" ele ment for universal endorsement comes the s-.iggestion of Thrift Day, Febru ary Kid. The primary point is not whether the idea is absolutely new, but whether it is practically susceptible of useful application. The celebration of Thrift Day lies in the faithful performance by each in dividual of some thrifty action on that day. The very simplicity of the idea will go a long way toward its success ful development, ana this develop ment will mean a mighty step forward The younger men and high school boys who belong to the Y.

A NEW KIND OF HOLIDAY. The Observance of Thrift Day, Fob. 3d, Not Confined to Any Race. Thrift Day, February 3rd, is unique as a holiday, in that its proper observ ance is a vastly different and far more beneficial one to the individual than the usual celebration of the aver age holiday. On this dav the even tenor of things goes on; business is developed; and financial institutions remain own to do their share in th celebration. , There is no cessation of progressive activities familiar to most holidays, and which frequently result essential i,usis of thrift. It actually includes the utilization of common sense in three things the use of earn-1 ings, the use of time and the cultiva-1 tion of temperate habits. Prom each of these : qualities a lesson might j profitable be taken by many. Statistics show that the lack oi thrift is more concerned in the mak ing of poverty than deficiency in wages. Thus it is that every thrifty person may be considered as a public benefactor, and every thriftless per son a public enemy. Society is split in two classes the provident and im provident. The annual observance of j Thrift Day is confidently expected to eventually reduce the latter ele-1 ment to an insignificant percentage ! of the population. Careful estimates show that the percentage is now heav ily on the wrong side of our 'national ledger. The very essence of honesty is the living within one's means. In the use of time, how many are there who fully realize that time once gone is lost forever? The thrifty in dividual docs today what he could do tomorrow. He utilizes his time in his youth that he may have it to spare in old age. Common sense in the di.stn bution of one's time is a powerful fac tor in thrift and Thrif Day offers the opportunity to practice it.
