A Household Economy. 'TO TIHE EDITOR OF THlE TIMFS. Sir,---Seing in one of the morning~ papersq a para. grIcph headt!d "What Can be Done by the Small investor," I venture to place before y-ou at plin which our household has adopted to help their country. This, if followed generally. would not only greatly husband t-he food supplie; of the nation, but would largely supplement the much-needed War Lon.* It can be done wit-h very little effort ana self-denial. Ouir niine household 'servants have agreed to give uip meat' of any sort. for t-heir breakfast, and t-he money Itius saved is Placed in the bank ech fortniglt and invested in-War Loan. At the end of a year ^this saving wil represent a sumn of ?3 for each servant. Now, if only every servant would follow this example and give up something in their daily coentu, the amount raised would be astonishing, andl, the -servants' would hi~ve the great. satisfactioyl of knowing they were' doing " their bit " for their country and1 at the- same tinme saving for thermselves. Yours, &L.. F?. W. H. A HOUSEHOLD ECONOMY.
