This habit of thrift, whether it be voluntary or enforced, is not confined to food. Clothing is an item which promises to figure largely in the thrift campaign-Mrs. L.

She secured her informa tion through one of the best of all mediums, the Want Ad esc tion of The Oregonian. Mrs. Harper had an overcoat on hand, outgrown by her boy, and asked the Want Ad man to sell it for her. So in a diminu tive ad it required less than a lira and a half of words tha great public of the Want Ad pages was informed of a $2 over coat buy. The coat found a new wearer within a few hours, with calls numerous enough to dispose of a large stock of 12-year-old garments.
