essential, and, at the same time,
one of the most "wretchedly dis
regarded" of the elements of sue
cess. In letter on this subject,
written by the great merchant to
the Rev. Newell Dwight Hills he
says: "The old adage, 'Wilful
waste makes woeful want was
never more fully exemplified than
in these days, when much of the
want that prevails would not ex-
ist had care been taken in time
of prosperity to lay up something

"The five, ten or fifteen cents a
day that is squandered while a
mere trifle, apparently, would in
a few years, if saved, amount to
thousands Of dollars, and go far
toward establishing the founda-
ton of a future career. Too few
realize that in order to acquire
the dollars one must take care of
the nickels. Careful saving and
careful spending invariably pro-
mote success. 1t has been well
said that 1T is not what a man

pie do not know how to save.

young man the duty of beginning 9

life will prove Of incalculable
benefit to him in after years, not
only in the amount acquired, but,
through the exercise of economy
in small affairs, he will grow in
knowledge and fitness for the
larger duties that may devolve
upon him."

Sunlight is good for everything
but feathers. The best number of
persons to each bedis-oue. Away
with heavy hangers, either above
or below the bed. Beware of a
dusty,musty carpet--better sweet
ness and bare floor. Do not fail
to provide some means for ventl-
lation during the night. Keep
the head cool when sleeping but
not by draft of cold air falling
upon it. If folding bed must be
used, contrive some way to keep
it aired and wholesome. Let the
pillow be high enough to bring
the head in a natural position
no more or less. When lying on
the side the pillow should be
large enough to bring the head up
in line with the spinal column.
Thoroughly air the sleeping room
every day; air the beds and bed
ding rs often as possible. A dark.
out-of-the-way, ,unwholesome cor
ner is no more fitted for sleep
ing room than for a parlor. A
feather bed which has done SER

which to sleep.-Good House

What Has the Republican Party

What has the American party
done to bring prosperity to the
American people? 1t cannot be

Republican President upon a Re-

metallism cannot bring prosperity
until an international agreement

Since the Republicans have con-
tented themselves, for the pres

question, they must look to the
tariff law and to that alone for
such aid as political action can
give.
They are justly entitled to credit
for any good which it brings, and
justly responsible for any injury
which it inilicts.
