"Put Your Spare Time In the Bank"

right array, too.
Mr.. Anstey describes it. The idea
is this. You don't use all your time
to advantage. Most of it in fact
runs to waste. You often have the
time, but no chance to invest it pro
fitably. So the time slides out of
your possession, Just as spilled water
soaks into the ground and is lost.
Suppose you could put your useless
time into a bank, as you do money,
and draw it out on checks as you
want it. Do you see2 Wouldn't that
be what the Americans call "a big
thing2"
"Boshl Stuff Humbugw you say,
at is impossible. If we could do
that we might bank time enough to
turn us into boys and girls again"
True, so we might, but as you say,
it can't be done. Yet, isn't there a
moral in the idea7 Open your eyes
and read. The moral is plain as the
trunk on an elephant. II you can't
get back your iCdste time, then don't
,Uaste IL.
Now, isn't man wasting time
when he gets ill., ooh" you say,
but he can't help it," That's worse
nonsense than the Time Bank Yes,
he can help it, nine times out of ten.
Look for second. Here's man
who goes on to talk like this: "There

me, and everyone who saw me

Curative Syrup, and fancied should

in Liverpool, got me two bottles
and before L had used up the SECOND
one my cough was all gone, my
breathing was easy, and could eat
anything. l soon got back to my
work, and have enjoyed good sounc

sent house forty years.

What are we to learn from Mr.
Bateman's experience? First, that h'
had no real consumption. His cough
: and the splitting up of matter were
symptoms of thoroughly disorder
ed condition of the digestive organs
brought on by exposure, loss of rest
and the breaking up of all his regu
: lar habits of life. This resulted from
his outlying for the poachers ano
, his foolish sleeping in his dam
: clothes. Acute indigestion and dys
pepsia followed, of course, with al
], the suffering which he details ST
well. But was the illness his fault
f We do not say it was his fault, TO
maybe his occupation compelle'
him to take such risks, but wher
there is one case of this kind ther
1 are a hundred in which the sevj
3 might have been averted.
We conclude then that preventio
: is better than cure, but when cur
must be sought, the successful an
0 trustworthy remedy is Mother Sc
t gels Syrup. Mr.. Bateman told job
@ Wilkinson this, and his account wi
soon be printed.
