In July of last year the individual

to $3,22s, 200, 900.
The deposits in the

The savings banks of the world had

The average individual account for
the United States was $4s0.30. 1t
should be said in a time of prosper
ity, very truly says the indianapolis
News, that no habit is more valuable
to cultivate than the habit of saving.
Prosperity avails man nothing un-
less with it he has strength of char
acter to save in proportion. Dickens
has a character in one of his books
that every time he prospers treats
himself, so to say; INDUCES himself
with some extra expenditure as a re-
ward. That is likely to be tendency
with too many. 1t is the old truism
about prosperity being more difficult
to stand than adversely. No man can
prosper that does not spend less
than he makes. He cannot greatly
prosper unless increasingly he spends
less proportionately than he makes.
While money 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 a man
be rich or poor, whether he be gift
ed mentally or emotionally or be dull
there is for everyone in this life the
lesson of self-denial to learn, and as
this life is an exceedingly practical
thing, the basis of self-denial might
almost be said to lie in material saw
ings. Where man has not the abil-
ity to increase his income he should
decrease his outgo. He that does
this will soon begin to get margin.
The process of saving is slow, but it
is sure. 1t can literally work Won
ders, and once started it grows like
the rolling SNOWFALL. The smallness
at the beginning should be no dis
couragement. There is an opportun-
ity for the man that can save ten
cents week as well as for the man
that can save ten dollars a week. The
way is long, and to begin with may
be difficult, bit persistence in it
makes it easy. Life is more mat
ter of habit than of intention and the
habit Of thrift can as easily be cult
waited as the habit of prodigality.
