This is splendid advice from an ex-
change: Don't buy ahead of your pay day,
SO that when ii comes your wages will all 60
in asingle day to pay for what you have al
ready had. If'you have gotten into this
old rut, get out of il. Do without the
necessaries Of life if need be until your
salary is yours on pay day, then buy for
cash. Lay aside little each month, for
rainy days-tbey come in the lifetime of
every man."
