The man on a salary should, of course,
pay his bills promptly and to the full limit.
But he should be in debt. Debt Is recog-
nized by the greatest authorities as being
one Of the best incentives to work on the
part of any man. With a bill to meet at the
end of the month the household economics
are regulated to the emergency and saw

has asked more of the tradesman than

TT is a strange thing that the man who
i pays cash for all he gets cannot get credit.
while man who runs bills habitually
can get about all the credit he wants. The
higher the bills--the better his credit-un-

may even keep the tradesman waiting for

Every man who is not already in debt.
every householder who does not owe bills
to grocer. laundryman. liveryman, dry goods
merchant or other tradesman, should at

1t is even the part Of wisdom to borrow
money from friends and acquaintances.
Experience has proved that the cash basis
is bad one for any workingman on a
salary. He should be in debt for two rea-

credit, and, second, to lay the foundations
for reputation for honesty and honorable
No one knows whether man who pays
cash Is honest or not-nor do they much
care-but the man who comes around reg

Many young couples starting housekeep-
ing make the mistake of paying cash for
all they buy Naturally they dread debt.
All inexperienced people do.
ne Wise young couple, as 6OOu as tuey
have settled down in their cosy fiat, begin
to order groceries and have them charged.
They should pay promptly at the end of
each week for a time. In this way the
tradesman comes to know them, and know
that the money Is good.
In like manner they should run bills at
laundries, dry goods stores, drug stores, dor
ists with doctors. liverymen, and others
and pay up promptly. This course of pro-
cedure will gain them acquantances and
force many people to remember who they
are.
After paying up promptly for few
months they should begin to run larger and
larger bills, letting the laundry, milk, ond
grocery bills run over a week or two. They
should never do this unless there Is money
in hand to pay these bills at any time, SO
that, IL payment is demanded you can get
angry and hunt up new tradesman.
Then, If misfortune loss of employ

should happen, the couple will have credit
to tide them over the financial stringency.
Compare this with the condition Of the
couple that never have asked for credit but
paid cash for everything. The first time
they ask for even days credit they arouse
