ECONOMY As read by Miss Mable Franklin' at Shirley Cartwright Womens Institute | Economy is a small word with just seven letters, yet how much it means and how some of us hate the very thought of that word. But economy, | unless pushed to the severest limit so as to drive out everything that is nec- essary enjoyment, need not, as a rule be so horrible a thing. A little econ- omy hurts no one, and. I am sure a good many housekeepers find 'a real pleasure in it. 1'rue economy 15 net being niggardly and mean, but in being careful and saving, that in time to come one may have money to spend and not be a burden to one's friends or an object of charity to a community. Look up the word economy in the dictionary, and you will find it means primarily manage- ment without loss or waste of any- thing, nor yet does it mean pinching and scraping on the ragged edue of nothing, but rather' does" it" mean] making the best of everything, taking one's lifg and the opportunities one has and using them to the best advan- tage. Itisa crime to be wasteful, and yet in many homes there is enough good material wasted to keep a small family. It is not only the rich, but often it is the pour, that are the worst in this regard. So often the city people in the summer, when they are earning good wages,* spend and live up to everything they make no thought of laying up a little for a rainy day. If this class of people could be taught to take care of the pennies the dollars would take care of themselves, for a penny saved is a penny earned. There would be less poor in our cities. Often when we think it necessary to economize we begin on something that docs'nt count Sometimes we are apt to think that economy to us means the saving and hoarding of money. We will sell the eggs and: cut down the meat supplies and so on, but the dress of the family was kept strictly up to date. Would it not be better when real need of economy arises to: keep up essential. of life and well being and let the things that make for show go by the board. Some of you are perhaps say- ing what would we economize on? begin with, there are so many ways | we can economize m the use of foods I am sure it is a pleasure to feel that you have used up every scrap. of food, and that there has been no waste. It is not always the most expensive food that is the 'most economical food, The chap cuts of meat. properly cooked are just as wholesome and nutritious' the * more expensive: cuts. Peas, beans, nd. cheese oft the place of meats and. the p! ing g fuse of vegetables 1 1 of about three: how the scraps of cold meat and the remnants of vegetables, the odds and lends of soups and gravies may be comoined with one another and made {up into an appetizing dish which gives: no hint of its miscellaneous origin. : Try it and see! If you're in doubt don't trust your own judgment, but turn to i your cook-book or other competent adviser. In conclusion, allow me to say that the first step in economy should be the resolve not to pretend to be too big. The good book says there is that which scattereth and yet: increaseth, There is that a Ko holdeth more than is meet and it tendeth to poverty. So in our econ- omy we must also be generous' for there is nothing truer than that it is more blessed to give than to receive - We must lay by for a rainy day, bute + we must enjoy life as the days go. by. . A wise economy is the only safegaurd? we have, that we can feel sure that in. Sue | later days we"can rest from our abor.
