WHAT TO DO WITH ONES MONEY!
Suggestions For Those Who DO Not
'Spend as They Co."

A woman who probably voices the
question Of great many other women
writes 20 ask how she shall invest her
savings. She is n working woman who
has accumulated n small sum, which
she naturally wishes to use in accumu-
lating more. The amount she has saved
is not large enough for her TO invest in
real estate or in any large enterprise.
About two years ago this same ques-
ton was asked, and we put the problem
before the leading business mon and
financicrs. They answered The question
almost unanimously. They advocated
the saving OF tine money in savings
banks at small rate of interest until
such time * there should be sufficient
money TO invest in good first mort
gage on in desirable real estate. The
reason for this decision was that wom-
ell are seldom fitted by education and
training TO take part wisely in ventures.
They are likely to be tho prey Of design
ing spectators. They are almost inva-
riably incapable of taking care of them
selves properly IN any sort Of spccula-
tive scheme The savings banks offer n
secure place for dcpositing money and
the income from them, while small, is
certain. Four Per cent, assured and safe,
is better for most women than larger
profits. and greater risks
When the small sum has grown to be
a considerable one, first mortgages on
good property form an admirable invest
ment for women savings. They yield
an income Of about per cent in most
states and are about as safe as saving
banks. Land has an agreeable quality
of remaining where it is, and improve
ments on land when mortgaged are al
ways insured, so that there is little dan
ger of loss TO the holder OF first mort.
gage BY q first mortgage is meant the
one which, in case of failure of the own
er OF the property to pay the interest or
the amount of the loan in due time,
will be paid first
Investment in real estate is not so
satisfactory. Property in places where
the value Of land is not liable TO be di-
minished costs good deal, in the first
place. Then there are taxes, insurance
and constant repairs TO decrease the
profits Still land has an advantage Of
other investments in its comparative
stability. st Louis Post-Dispatch.
