How well you know, and how many times you
have thought it., that the sure time TO put out
fire is in the beginning-when the flames are
small and the pressure Of the foot even, will stamp
them out.
And yet, although you know this, although you
fully realize the necessity of quick work and the
danger of delay in case of fire, in those insidious
fires of disease which break out in our bodies and
which threaten our health and ife you are stupid
ly or ignorantly careless.
Do you not know that as the small flames in
house, if allowed to progress, will soon wrap the
whole structure in ruin so the little and ap-
parently trivial ailments and symptoms which
undermine our health. If allowed to develop, will
soon involve the body in fatal disease?

with more or less prostration, WILL unless arrest

Cold feet and legs, weakness and WEAKNESS of

THE SOUTH NEEDS SAVINGS BANKS.

THE SOUTH NEEDS SAVINGS BANKS
1t should be persistently impress
ed upon the people of the South
says the Manufacturers Record in q
lengthy summary from the st. Louis
Republic on the amount annually
deposited in savings banks north
and south, the Importance of estab'
fishing savings banks. No commun
ity will develop habits of economy
aud savings unless encouraged there,
to by having a place where every
spare dime OF dollar can be deposi-
ted with absolute safety and with a
certainty of drawing a fair rate OF
interest. With savings banks near
at hand every man, woman and
child gets into the habit of econo-
MIXING and putting away few cents
or few dollars as often as possible
in order to prepare for rainy day.
Where savings banks are not con-
venient there is but little induce
ment for the people to make the
small savings which gradually az
gregate, as in New England, into
hundreds of millions of dollars. The
South is now producing an enor-
nous amount of wealth its farmers
are prosperous its laboring classes
of all kinds are fully employed at
good wages, and with a united eff
fort through the organization of saw
ings associations it would now ac-
cumulate surplus wealth more rapid
~ than any country in the world has
ever done. The millions of dollars
that are now hid away in old stock
ings would be drawn out and would
furnish an enormous amount of
fresh capital with which to handle
the business of that section. The
leaders in Southern development
should consider these facts and en-
deavor to begin the great work of
developing savings banks. There is
scarcely town in the South where
well-managed savings institution
could not be made profitable and at
the same time prove of much value
to the business interests Of the place,
and encourage in the town: as well
as the surrounding country, habits
of thrift and economy. The
South viii never attain the financial
strength which it should have until
it learns to concentrate and aggre-
gate its money by means of we'll
managed savingf banks.
