' 1 1 . v - THE PENSAGOLA JOURNAL. SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 7, 1919. f AO. 1 : .... L HRIFT GAINING GREAT VICTORY TIDE OF EXTRAVAGANCE-BEGIN-MING TO TURN, TREASURY DE PARTMENT SAYS. . - In spite of the violent reaction tgair.st the Spartan economy, of ; the jrar period, thrift has made substan ial progress this year and the wave of extravagance which took' possession 3f the country after the Armistice has reach, d its height and has begun to subside. There is increasing evidence of a return to sanity in the steadily crowing sales of Savings Stamps as Jreil as in the heavy increases of de-? in savings banks. The thrift work of the Treasury De partment, through its educational campaign, its general propaganda and the organization of thousands of Sav ings Societies has been effective not only in the sales of many millions of rovornment securities, but also in an increase of hundreds of millions in deposits of saving banks. All interests have profited by these activities of the government.; : ; : The first half of the year was occu pied largely by the placing of the Vic tor Loan, which was not completed until May 15. ; :-. The efforts of the "War Loan Organ ization since the f irst . of June have been concentrated on the sale of Sav ings Stamps and certificates and the result has been a steady increase in the volume of these sales, with every in dication of a continued and far greater Increase in the year to come. The educational work in this district has probably been more far-reaching than in any other section of the coun try, because of the fact that the . va cation period was utilized in carrying thrift instruction ins more than fifty Xormal Schools mtM several hundred teachers' institutes, wllere pur instruc- tors reached some 15,000 teachers. This vas followed up In the fall by the organization of thrift work in the schools, which has been carried on throughout the six states in this dis trict with wholesome results. The most arduous work this year has been in the industrial and commer cial fields, through the organization of six thousand Savings Societies, ear ning a pledge of about two millions per annum. In addition to this very hard and successful work was done through banking and, business circles in the sale of two millions of Treasury Savings Certificates, in 51,000 and $100 denominations. In the meantime there has been ex tensive publicity through the news papers and periodicals of the district and great activity through "Women's or ganizations and other patriotic bodies. The effect of all these activities dur ing the year will be the sale of some thing like nine and three-quarters millions of Saving Stamps and Certifi cates. These results have been accomplish ed in the face of a very difficult -it-uatlon. In its problems rnl a"-v es this year has ben . , vjr l0 the war period rLnaco .

It seemed almost too much for human nature to continue the strenuous sacri fice of that period and some relaxa-i tion was bound to Come. "We have had a year of that and it is to be hoped that the people are' about ready to re turn to normal conditions. The general upheaval, the uncer tainty as to business conditions and the widespread industrial unrest have made it very difficult in many cases to even get the ear of those upon whom we sought to impress the necessity for economy. Notwithstanding all these difficul ties, the persistent and determined ef forts of the organization show in creasing results and it Is believed that before many months have passed we shall have a near approach to a normal state of mind on the part of the public and the old time spirit of industry and economy will return. The Tresaury Department has au thorized a continuation of the work through 1920 and has instructed all di rectors to give the public notice to that effect. .,. The new issues of Thrift Stamps, and Treasury Savings Certificates will be ready by January 1st and will be on sale at the postoff ices, banks and authorized agencies in the same de nominations and at the sam rate of interest as at present. The government finds its necessary to set an example of thrift by econ omizing in every department and the operation of thH organization during 1920 will be conducted with a little ex pense as necessary to effectiveness. In order to bring this about it has been necessary to consolidate the district or ganizations, discontinuing state head quarters and forming a more compact organization. This will materially re duce the expense of operation and -will unify and simplify the work. Plans have been made for a great expansion of the work through the or ganization of Home Circle Thrift Clubs. It is proposed to accomplish this through four lines of propaganda converging on the home as follows: 1. Through the school. '2. Through the press. 3. Through the church. 4. Through patriotic organizations. At the outset of this work it was seen that the schools would be a tre mendous factor in making this a thrifty nation. It has been the experi ence of all educators that the schools are far more effective in any kind of work they undertake if strongly sup ported by the active co-operation of the home. It is believed that the edu cational influence of thrift, extended through the school into the home v-'n arouse interest which has never bf.-n secured before. Like all other virtues thrift should begin at home. "While men as a rule earn most of the income, women gen erally Go most of the spending in the Quick -Actloi When Pneumonia Threatens average family and largely control the outlay for food, clothing and other necessaries of life. The Xlome Circle should be the headquarters of the thrift mqyement so far as the family is con cerned and there every member of the family, from the youngest to the old est, can, participate. It is not intended that thrift work in the home should supercede that in tho schools. On the contrary thrift should become a fundamental part - of the work of all public schools. A number of State Superintendents of Education have declared . that thrift should be taught in school as regularly as arith metic and I have no doubt the time will come when this will be the case. The practice of thrift should accom pany precept and if there is an active Thrift Club in every home the instruc tion in thrift in the schools will bear fruit abundantly. "When we consider that capital is ab solutely necessary to employment, re quiring an Investment of two or three thousand dollars for every person em ployed In the United States, and then reflect that more than two hundred billions of capital have been destroyed in war, we can see how necessary it is to create a new fundof capital in or der that industry may go forward. There is no means to- do this but -by production and saving. For that rea son the welfare of the country demands continued arid increased activity In the teaching and practice of thrift. Every thoughtful person must see the necessity of co-operating with the government in this great work and giv ing his cordial and enthusiastic sup port to a movement which means so much to the welfare and comfort of the people and has such a profound in fluence upon the stability of the nation.

Which Have Iron in Their Blood-Strong Healthy, Vigorous Folks C j- Pliv.lclan Sys Ordinary Nuxatod Iron. Will Increase the Strength of Nervosa, Kan-down People in Two ' Weeks' Tim in Many Cases. ONE glance is enough to tell -which people have iron in their blood. They are the ones that do and dare. The others are in the weakling class. Sleepless ' nights spent worrying over supposed ail ments, constant dosing with habit forming drugs and narcotics, and useless attempts to brace up with strong coffee or other stimu lants are what keep them suffering and vain ly longing to be strong. Their real trouble is lack of iron in the blood. Without iron the blood has no power to change food int living tissue and, therefpre, nothing you eat does you rxxi; you drfn't get the strength out of it. When iron is supplied it enriches the impoverished blood and gives the body greater resistance to ward off disease. Numbers of nervous, run-dewn people uho were ailing all the while have most aston ishingly increased their strength and en durance simply bv taking iron in the proper form. And this, after they had in some cases been going on for months without getting benefit from anything. If you are not strong or well you owe it to yourself to make the following test: Sre how long you can work or how far you can walk without becoming tired. Next take two five-grain tablets of ordinary mixated Iron three times per day after meals for two' weeks. Then test your strength again and isee for yourself how much you have gained. There is nothing like good old iron to help put color in your cheeks and sound, healthy flesh on your bones. But you must take iron in a form that can be easily absorbed and assimilated like nnxated iron If you want it to do you any good, otherwise it may prove worse than useless.
