"Put Your Spare Time In the Bank" !"


Did you eper hear of the Australian
Time Bank (Limite6F Nos Well,
then, goa must know about it, and
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 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 Humbug" 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
moral in the idea2 Open your eyes
and read. The moral is plain as the
trunk on an elephant. Il you can't
get back your '0dSte time, then don't
,Ddste it.
Now, isn't man wasting time
when he gets ill2 "Oh," 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 a second. Here's man
who goes on to talk like this: "There
was never" he says, "a stronger .nan

Der, 1884. | am gamekeeper, and
about this time we had a deal of
trouble with gang of poachers. l
had to keep watch all night long,
and was scarcely ever in bed, and
often slept IN my damp clothes. AT last
we nabbed the poachers and landed
them in Jail. Shortly after this |
was taken bad. At first | merely
felt tired and dull. / had bad
taste in the mouth with slime cover
ing my tongue and teeth. l could
eat little or nothing, and what l did
eat gave me great pain. l felt as if
held in a vice; my breathing was
labored and short, and 1 spat up a
great deal of phlegm. had dread
full hacking cough, and could get no
sleep at night; for after ten minutes
sleep would wake up and cough
for two or three hours at spell
Night after night / heard the clock
strike every hour.
"When the bad attacks came on ]
felt as if l should suffocate, and had
to be bolstered up in bed. | was
coughing and splitting up matter
and phlegm all night long. Finally
| got so weak couldn't walk across
the floor, and if | ventured out my
breathing was so bad that | had tc
stop and rest every few yards. o.
course was obliged to give up my
work, and for eight months | die
nothing. | was under the doctor al
this time, and from the first he sale
my case was bad one. After =;
while he said to my wife, Your has
band is IN a consumption, and Wil
l aeoer get BETTER.
81 thought it was all over with
me, and everyone who saw m,
: thought I would die. About thi.

medicine called Mother Seiger
y Curative Syrup, and fancied | shoult
e like to try it. So my son, who live!
t in Liverpool, got me two bottles
S and before l had used up the seconc
e one my cough was all gone, m,
Z, breathing was easy, and I could ca
: anything. l soon got back to m,
d work, and have enjoyed good sount
t health ever since. When L begal
e taking the Syrup I was SO low
v don't believe [ could have held ou
r much longer. l have lived all m,
y life in this district, and in my pre-
il sent house forty years.
