The National War Savings Committee has issued an effective pamphlet

on The Need for Saving in Peace Time, by Mr. Hartley Withers (2d.), who has taken most of it from his book, Poverty and Waste. He demolishes once again the popular fallacy that extravagance is " good for trade," and appeals to the well-to-do to reduce their personal expenditure on luxuries in the interests of the community. We hope that the pamphlet will be widely read, especially by women.
