Bauson, whoso marvelous . brain can arrlvo at all sorts of conclusions by mere mathematical deduc 1 ons, tho United States Is doomed to a period of extreme want na tho result of the era of prosperity wo aro now enjoylns duo to the war. f prosperity, this authority declares, means extravagance, ana extravagance Means a consequent depression. Lost ho bo contradicted, ho cites Sir Isaac New ton's "lkw of reaction." Just as wo are to havo tho opportunity of acquiring the prodigal habit of pending wo aro apt to bo faced with tho problem of having nothing to spend, we aro told, "In times of peace," says tho antlpaclflst, "prepare for war." "In times of prosperity," runs tho new slogan, "prepare for want," which Is tut another way of saying "Put by something for a rainy day." Judging from tho cry of tho "thlrlft-bugs," ono would nlmost think wo had arrived at a stage similar to that of the time of tho Caesars, when spending reached such a climax that tho Government stepped In nnd enacted laws, called tho sumptuary laws, which punished a woman severely, In some cases with ostracism, when sho was not careful of her expenditures. I bollovo so firmly In tho" wisdom and foresight of saving that I do not want to go on record as saying anything against It: but aro not somo of these people who aro forovcr preaching tho doctrine of hoarding overlooking to a great degree ono of tho most soul-eatlsfylng pleasures that tho world has to offer tho ability to spend money In a caro-frco manner, without taking thought of posslblo regrets or of what might have been bought with the money, or of tho effort that was expended to mako It? These aro the kind of men and women who, when a "tight" time comes, know how to meet It, because having set no great store by money, they aro not cast down to tho depths when It Is denied them. Whereas tho person who has set his bank account up as an Idol to bo worshiped Is mado fearfully unhappy when ho has no Incense In tho form of dollar bills to offer It. I do not think the "Lord lovcth a chcorful giver" with any fonder affection than Ho ontortalns for tho chcorful spender. Indeed, the two qualities cheerful giving and spending may bo said always to reside In tho same man. Thero aro somo unhappy temperaments that spend money as though St. Peter wero charging It up to them on tho wrong Bldo of tho ledger their Puritan ancestors applauding meanwhile. Theso peoplo aro not Joyous souls. In fact, they regard Joy as moro or less ot a sin. Why not set aside a definite proportion of your lncomo for the ubiquitous rainy day and another sum for tho express purpose of Joyful spending for tho Bunshlno of life, as It wcro7 Then, If hard times como, as Mr. Babson assures us they will, tho reflection that you havo not only saved nobly, but that you havo likewise spent nobly and enjoyed life whllo tho living was good, ought to In somo measure comfort you. Of course, thoro aro somo persons, as every statistician will tell you, who don't make enough to savo and spend, too. In which case, neither my nor Mr. Babson's remarks apply. M'LIS3. Letters to the Editor of the "Woman's Page ' Addnaa nil communication to M'l.t's. rare of the Evenlm Ltdccr. Write on an I tide of the paper onlj. Dear M'LIss My husband and I are In vited to a wedding reception, but cannot go. Is It proper to send two of husband', cards and two of my own a day or si before wedding to tho young lady? Wed ding Is Monday. ANNU DUNCAN. Wilmington, Del. I don't think I would overwhelm the young woman with such an avalanche of cards. The time was, I bcllove. when good usage permitted this generosity of paste board, but fortunately a more sensible simplicity Is In vogue now. Write a for mal note on good stationery expressing regret that you cannot be present at tho reception. It should be worded something like this: Mr. and Mrs. Charles Brown nro exceedingly sorry that they will bo unable to attend the reception following tho marriage of Miss Lucy Smith to Mr. Jack Green on December 23, 1016. North Philadelphia A .stamped, self addressed envelope for the name of the book on rag rug-making, please. SEEN IN THE SHOPS Dear Sir Wo are a family that used to have a good bit of money and bIx months ago wo hired a houso and signed a lease for a year. Wo'are not able to pay the high rent which they nak us for the house. Wo would like to know If without any trouble to us we could tell tho owner that wo cannot afford to pay the rent any longer and want to movo on account of that. Wo are not back at all In our monthly payments. MIIS. J. S. Why not tell your landlord frankly that you are unable to fulfil tho terms of your contract and ask him to relcaso you from It? If ho will not do this, and If you can not afford to pay a lawyer consult tho Legal Aid Society, 34 South lGth street. The lawyers In the employ of that asso ciation will charge you nothing. Thero are many kinds of leases, and the technicalities of some of them are so labyrinthine that It would bo Injudicious for a layman to advlso you. PURE CANDY FOE OF ALCOHOL; ALSO CURE FOR FATIGUE By WILLIAM BRADY, M. D PUIIE candy ought to be marketed at cost by the W. C. T. U. It Is a great rfoe to old King Alcohol. Let a man keep a box ot candy In his desk or handy by his workbench, to nibble on when he Is tired, and ho won't cravo a drink of beer or whiskey all he'll want Is Water. The United States authorities ship tons of candy to the Philippines to be sold through tho canteens to the soldiers. It satisfies the soldier's need of an easily digested, quickly available carbohydrate food, and so makes "vino" unnecessary to his welfare. There are some neople and they are usuallly to be found In the rurat com munities who still Insist upon tho Imag inary relation between candy or sugar and "worms." And, what Is worse, there are parents so benighted as to believe these old fishwife yarns and restrict the quantity of Bweets In tho children's bill of fare. We cannot reiterate too often tho tact that sugar Is the child's most natural food moro than half of tho solid matter In milk Is sugar. Sugar Is tonlo to the heart, in the sense that It applies quickly available muscular energy to that organ., Sugar Is a muscle food, It there is sucn a thing. It Is therefore "essential In a child's diet, particularly an active, hard playing child. And certainly there Is no more digestible, nor more appetizing, nor more balanced a meal In the whole cate gory ot dietetics than a slice of good home-baked bread, spread with a quarter Inch of butter or oleomargarine and smothered with a like thlcliness ot Uie crudeatrcrade of brown Bugar. No cald could consume too much of such food lor gods. As for feeding the children candy, ithere are two Important rules to bear In mind; 'First, It must be pure candy, not adulterated with poisonous dyes, varnish, plastor-ofparls. coal-tar flavors and the like. Jlmcracks ruin a child's health, Second. It must be given In the course ot or following regular meals, not at any and all hours. If these rules are fol lowed, only good can come from feeding the youngsters candy. It la very significant. If not sinister, that the free lunch counter presents nearly every variety of food but candy. Some how the booze emporiums, like tho "old women," have little use for the food that kills the hankering for alcohol, Tho usual cause of any digestive dis turbance which develops after eating candy la either the adulteration of the candy or the fact that not enough water Is taken to dissolve the sugar. Sugar Is Nature's own specific for fa tigue. When you have that tired feeling, try some good candy. Roquefort Dressing Those who relish Roquefort cheese salad dressing should try adding pimentos some time. Just make an ordinary French dressing of oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper and paprika, and beat the cheese into this lay using a silver fork, mashing the cheese quite fine. Add the chopped pimentos, passed through a sieve. Serve as a dress ing on any crisp green salad. l Use for a Spider An embroidered spider web In any wanted shade la the sole trimming on the large black hat, A hatpin to wear with It - lias a larga blue-green spider at the end. This, of course, to be stuck Into the web.

Mrs. Jones believes in looking nice, in keeping her hands and her face soft and free from traces of the day's work. Mrs. Jones lives in an apartment and has no maid. Now Mrs. Jones used, for this purpose, La Daintee Face Cream for her face and La Daintee Hand Cream for her hands, and the effect tvas wonderful. Her face found a smile an easy thing to attempt and lost an incipient wrinkle or two; her hands, formerly harsh and cracked from the use of cleansers which were mostly lye, were marvelously softened and rented by the use of thr Hand CraarmSo she tolrWher.ifiusbanriabout it. HejBeing salesman.,did muchalkhj0 This talking formal several chafei! and sorespots on his "Tendons of Achilles." Now, Mr. Jones got a hunch. And Mrs. Jones made a mistake; she left her Hand Cream on the table in full sight, and Mr. Jones did the rest he used it upl Every night for a week he rubbed the soothing Hand Cream on his aching tendons and the callouses were soften ed just as his wife's hands had been softened.
