They want some hare of It, no matter how small, to come from everybody In Philadelphia, so that the regiment can see that It Is the whole City which Is sending Christmas greet ings to the boys. Any amount of money will do, from a thin dime nn up, so long as It carries with It a. warm-hearted Christmas wish for the boys who un swered tho draft so smilingly.

Foley Tells Atlver- Users Monov Must Con- tinue in Circulation The danger of prncti-lng extreme economy was pointed out by Itlchard A. 'Kolcy In addressing business men nnd advertisers at tho llellcAUt-litrat-fcrd today. , If the people took nil tho advice printed by amateur economists who sud denly found themselxes In the lime light, he said. In ti year tho country would hsve n panic compared to which that nf 1507 would be ns a slight chill compared to nn epileptic lit. The speaker pointed out that there was a nmiked difference between thrift nnd siilrldul money-madness. Mr. l'oley said among other things: "If readers of newspapers were to de cide not to purchaser automobiles or clothes or to support restaurants nr to do any of the normal things they have been doing, what about tho hundreds of thousands of peop'o who gain their lhellhood through theso various lines? How could they subscribe to Liberty Loans? 'What about tho taxes that the flovernment expects to collect from them, It thry hae no money? Theto should be no extravagance, but people thould adhere to normal methods of living In order to keep buslncsi uoltig. and to make money, and to pay money to the ilnvcrnrpent. Kvery firm can put Its unused surplus. Its undistributed proms, i into Liberty Loan bonds, can consider ! It capital with II capita llllownlice thereon, and may escape tho Hi per cent tn.v on uniiistrinuieu surplus.
