HOW TO ECONOMISE.
How should people save in war time? What forms of expendit ire should they cut down? In reply to these questions the British Parliamentary War Savings Committee, with the help of experts has drawn up a number of suggestions, which include the following : — « No person should build a house to reside in himself. Any presents given should be in the form of War Loan bonds or vouchers. No motor-cars should be used except for official or, charitable purposes. Entertaining at restaurants should be entirely abandoned. Changes of fashion in clothes must be ignored or suppressed. Nothing but the most sparse expenditure on mourning and funerals should be incurred. Every servant should be dispensed with, except those necessary for the simplest requirements. All "treating" should be given up till we can boast a final and complete victory. drinks till we've won," should be the motto.
