THE USE OF MONEY.
There Is Something In Life Besides Having
Millions OF Money.
Organs Commoner.)

Charles M. Schwab is quoted
as saying to the commercial
travellers, 81 have some money
quite a lot of it in fact. What
good does it do me? / have a
nice place to live, good meals to
eat and clothes to wear. That is
about all, except that Mrs.
Schwab is able to spend a few
pennies and enjoy herself"
Schwab is right. Our needs
are not so great after all. We
must have food; we must have
shelter; and we must have
clothes, and a man does not have
to be q millionaire to have all the
food and all the, clothes and all
the shelter that he needs and can
use to advantage. Great fortunes
are a great burden to those who
use them wisely and a great
calamity to those who use them
foolishly, and yet, there are
number of American citizens who
60 on fighting for millions that
they do not need and to secure
these millions they violate laws,
human and divine. And when
they are through, they find that
they have not improved upon the
wisdom Of Solomon, who said:
"Give me neither riches nor
poverty" and who declared, "a
good name is rather to be chosen
than great riches and loving
favor rather than silver or gold"
