SAVINGS or THE SOLDIERS.
Paymaster's Department Has s2,stt,
737 Of the Regulars Money.

Seattle. Wash.--The American sol
dier Is not highly paid, yet he is 9
thrifty chap. Last year 54,260 enlist
ed men saved and deposited with the
paymaster's department $l.495.22s
This Is q respectable sum and repre-
sents about 12 par cent. of the total
pay OF all the enlisted men for that
period. Had every enlisted man made
a deposit the average saving for the
year would have been $3.50. but that
is the least interesting feature of the
system.
The figures show that the soldie,
can deposit, under the law of 1872
only sums. OF five dollars and'over. As
the pay is small. the total deposits FOL
the year show that the saving habit
IS continuous with many enlisted men
These deposits bear interest at the
rate OF four per cent. year. but they
cannot be Withdrawn until the soldier
receives his discharge. Last year
there was repnid to soldiers the sun
of s1,lGS,230 interest was also paid Ia
the amount OF $70.112. The number
OF men discharged is not given. but
the amount repaid shows that their
average saving must have been con.
siderable.
Since the enacting Of the law OF
1872 the total deposits have amounted
20 $27.7s9.553 and discharged soldiers
have received $l,5S2,993 in interest on
deposits Withdrawn. There remains
on deposit with the paymaster general
the sum OF $2.911.737.

GET RICH QUICK.

Schemes of this class have again
come to grief along with the gullible
investors, causing serious loss to
innocent business concerns, as is
always the case of panics in Wall St.
While this last lesson is yet fresh
in mind, it is all opportune moment
to consider causes and means to
avoid like trouble in the future.
Direct your attention to that
greatest of all Newspapers the Gin
cinnati Enquirer. From its columns
one can readily detect the trend of
currency, its lodging places, by
whom handled, uses made of it, and
final results.
Again you read quotations of
Bonds, Stocks, and Securities of
every nature, fixing Status of all
business from the retailer, to United
States Government.
Also Current News, facts and re-
liable data covering the entire world;
all sufficiently explicit to enable
thinking people to avoid snags and
follow the channel of success.
Its extra size and high price, is
the secret of its ability to discover,
obtain, print and serve its patrons
with all the news, and cater to wants
of people in every calling of life.
The Weekly Enquirer for the
year 1908 has greatly increased its
Clubbing offers which now include
the most select and popular pub
lications of the day at prices slightly
over half the regular Subscription
rates.
Do not overlook the fact that the
year 1908 promises to excel in pros
perity any of the past, and that
the Enquirer printed at Cincinnati,
Ohio, is one of the most reliable
sources of information.
