ACQUIRE HABIT OF SAVING.

cinl Independence.


In July of last year the individual
deposits I'm the national banks Of this
country amounted to 81, DDS, 900, 600
The deposits in the savings banks in
the country at the same time amount
ed TO S2,o9I coo. .OCO. The savings banks
of the world had $S.90S, $40. coo. repre-
senting 63.0I0000 depositors. The av-
erage individual accoun: fer the world
was S141.24. The average individual
account for the United States was
SiS0.30. says the Indianapolis News.
1t should be said in a time OF pros
perity that no habit is more valuable
TO cultivate than the habit of saving.
Prosperity avails man nothing unless
with it he has strength of character to
save i'll proportion. Dickens has
character in Ole of his books that
every time he prospers treats himself.
SO to say; INDUCES himself with some
extra expenditure as a reward. That
is likely to be a tendency with too
many. 1t is the old truism about pros
perity's being more difficult TO stand
than adversely. No man can prosper
that does not spend less than he
makes. He cannot greatly prosper un-
less increasingly he spends less proper
tionately than he makes. While mon
ey-making is positive achievement
as much as the creation Of anything
is, frugality is something that need
wait on no gift, but may be practiced
by all.
Whether man be rich or poor,
whether he be gifted mentally or emo
tionally or be dull. there is for every
one in this life the lesson Of self f-denial
to learn, and as this life is an exceed
ingly practical thing. the basis Of self
denial might almost be said to lie in
material savings. Where man has
not the ability to increase his income
he should decrease his outgo. He that
does this will soon begin to get a mar
gin. The process of saving is slow,
but 1t is sure.

Wrong Once. Wrong a, All Times

Ii is announced that at conference
of the Republican leaders of both
houses at Washington it was decided
to shelve the ship subsidy bill passed
by the Senate 1t is not doubted that
the bill could be put through if made a
party measure. but it is said to be the
majority opinion that lit would be bet
ter to allow it to 90 over until after the
Congressional elections" This is prob
ably prudent decision, but it raises
the question: If the subsidy bill is
right and just why not pass it now?
If it is wrong and unjust why plan TO
pass it after getting new lease of

British and American Food Taxes.

British and American Food Taxes.
The beef trust and the dairy trust
could not keep the retail prices of meat
and butter at their present extortionatc
height if it We're not for the fencing in
of the home market for them by the
import duties. So that in fact the daily
food of the American people is taxed
much more heavily than that of the
British. The chief difference is that the
British food taxes will yield revenue
that is needed to the government; our
food taxes yield next TO nothing to the
government and simply bleed the peo-
pie to fatten the trusts.-St Louis Post

How to Check the Reef Trust.


| Hit the beef trust through the tariff.
beginning by Introducing a resolution
instructing the Ways and Means Com
| mittee of the House to report bill to
| remove the duty on beef. But the reso-
luton does not go far enough. The du-
| ties should be taken off mutton and
pork and everything eatable in which
the beef trust deals.
Inquiries instituted by Attorney Gen
eral Knox to ascertain whether or not
the beef trust has gone outside the law
in its operations will amount to moth
ing. The people can be robbed under
the forms of law quite as effectually as
when those forms are defied. Suppose
it should be found that the beef trust
has been proceeding Illegally in some
particulars. what will it do? Just fol
low the example of the Standard Oil
and other trusts and reorganize in con-
fopmity with the statutes.
1t is hard that monopolists should be
able by any means TO raise the prices
of food at will, as the beef trust does.
But it is intolerable that the govern
ment should help these exploiters of
the people by protecting them against
the one thing that is fatal to monopoly
competition. BY levying duties oh
foreign beef. mutton and pork the gov
ernment employs the power of federal
law in the interest of the beef trust
That is. the government becomes
partner of the beef trust-not partner
in its profits, but partner who stands
around with tariff gun to keep off
anybody who wants to undersell the
trust.
Will the people of the United States.
all of whom must eat. and all of whom,
therefore. are being robbed by the beef
trust, continue to endure this partner
ship between the government and their
despOilers?
OF with the duties! The remedy for
the thieving prices to which the neces-
saries of life have been forced up by
the tariff shielded monopolists lies with
Congress.
The Republican party is in full con-
troll of House and Senate and has the
Presidency. Therefore the Republican
party has plenary and immediate power
over the tariff. to alter it as it chooses.
Monopoly which corners the neces-
saries of life deserves no favor at the
hands of the government. Tariff ia
vors to the beef trust are favors to cold
blooded and systematic Oppressors and
plunderers of the poor. Let the people
demand of Congress that it strip the
beef trust of tariff protection, and do it
at once.-ChicagO American.

Neither would thousands of others. We
refer to Vogeler's Curative Compound it
does so much good and seems to reach
every form of stomach trouble, that people
have found that it is the one true specific.
And what are stomach troubles? The easiest
answer is that three-quarters of all the dis

from one form or another of stomach
trouble.
Indigestion is ons of the worst and most
prevalent forms. but Vogsler's Curative
Compound cures indigestion. Here is one

for indigestion, in fact nothing would induce
her to be without bottle now"

fact, that this great remedy Is made from
the formula of one Of the most eminent living

people who have happily experienced the
