f" THE PITH OF IT
President Wilson, in tackling tht
lfh cost of living. Bald:
"Only by lucres sin production and
by rigid ei'oportiy and avlti y the
peopl can we l ope f(ir .arpe iwreasea
In the lHiidMsoine roat of i'viim whlcb
now wt;lsbs us rtov ti."
Despite the fact that the Department
of .liiRti-e Is BcmryliiK about Invest!
gating hifjh prices and throwing preflt
eers in jail, the President's cure foi
high prices Is the only one. He has
with btm In hiM opinion the best eco
nomists In America and Europe. It li
most elementary economics that u
lone as Vm uublio persiKts in its attend
ing "Jg," buying uunecesnarles an
fasten?ng upon industry a demand foi
more than Industry can produce, ex
orbitant prices will prevail.
There In only one way out. That li
the President's way. The people have
got to savu. In order to save they
must do without high priced luxuries
and live simply. They must Invest
their savings that the means of more
and greater production may be accumu
lated. Econo? nts know that the Traamirv
Department Is doing more than th
Department of Justlcs Is to bring down
prieee. The lowly Thrift Stamp and
"War Savings Stamp Is the weapon.
Buy them and hold them. Put them
first on the family budget. They bring
4 per cent interest compounded every
three months. Get the habit of buying
them every pay day. They will solve
your high cost of living problem.
