YOUR SAVINGS.
Industrial Pitfalls For Investors.

The desire of many people to live
without working or to get rich over
night has enabled the shrewd pro-
moter to dig attractive pitfalls for
the investor with savings. Last week
the various mining schemes were ex-
planned. But these lures comprise
only part of that large number of
"gold-brick" propositions created, in
many cases, with the sole idea of
fleeing the public. The second group
which will now be taken up, includes
the various so-called industrial"
schemes which are launched under
the guise of "investm nts," and which
provide a quick and sure way for
the investor to be separated from his
money.
The word industrial" covers a
multitude of speculative sins. Il j.

age by the promoter with people

been hoated in this country than dur

tons, and the usual and ever-present
oil we'll. Most of them are labeled
safe investment" but the real truth
of the matter is that they are, for the
most part, speculations of the worst
kind, and the very propositions that
the investor with savings should
avoid. With these pitfalls. as with
many others, the way of the promo
ter is the same; he cloak his scheme
in the most glittering phrases, makes
possible promises of big and quick
profits-and the investor does the
rest.

Editor Truth:
There is too much hysterical talk

rights. l am to certain extent a

cation of the housewife, Gas one of

feel like copying a few quotations
from that wisest of books, the Bible.
Those quotations are set forth in
terms of great appreciation.
"A wife looketh we'll to the ways
of her household, and eateth not of
the bread of idleness."
"She openeth her mouth with
words of wisdom, and in her tongue
is the law of kindness, her children
rise up and call her blessed, her hus-
band also, and he praiseth her."
A wife's and mothers life is made
UP of little cares, little duties and lit
tie pleasures, but when added up to-
gether make grand sum total of
happiness. A good wife and mother
is not expected to do any grand
works outside her own home. Her
province lies in gentleness, in con-
tented housewifery and management
of her children (not in a feverish,
restless hustle to do as men do);
these are women's rights, her hertz
age, which go to make her crown of
glory.
The trivial rounds, the common
tasks would furnish all we ought to
