THE ROAD TO WEALTH.
1t 10 the First Thousand Dollars That
Counts,

Sc sHe FtESS dollars hat
Counts.
"The thing that counts" said a
man Of Independently large means,
accumulated by hard work, saving
and wise investments, els the first
thousand dollars. When you've got
that amount together you are be-
ginning to get somewhere, and with
that start you will want to keep on.
The red ink interest entries that
you see put down in your savings
bank book twice a year will strike
you very pleasantly indeed. As in
terest on your thousand dollars
you'll get $35 or $40 in a year.
Your money has begun earning
money for you.
you've got an income now, and
you'll want to add to it. You will
leave that interest in the bank, to
be added to your principal, and
now your interest will begin to
draw interest, and, to be sure, you
will keep right on adding to your
principal, too, and every six months
you'll see those red figures growing
bigger and bigger, pretty figures to
contemplate, and you'll keep right
along saving. But the thing that
really counts is the first thousand
dollars. Get that and you're all
right, and you'll always be glad
you saved it.
"For there really is nothing like
financial independence or like hav-
ing at least some money laid by.
Then if you want money you've got
it. You don't have to 60 to friends
to borrow and take the risk of be-
ing refused, the risk Of being COM
PEELED to go without what you need.
If you've got money in the bank
you car 60 there and get it. There
might come a time when you would
need money for your family or for
yourself very much. It's a grand
thing to have it where you can get
it.
"There's nothing mean about
being saving and accumulating
money. On the contrary, it is every
mans duty to make himself finan-
cially Independent. I don't mean
at all that q man wants to set out
to accumulate great wealth. There
is no great fun in that. But what
he does want to do is to get togeth-
er enough to live on modestly."-

Matthew =. O'Brien Condemns sale
of Liquor Before Audience.

Matthew f. OBrien, Congressional rep
resentatve Of the Prohibition National
Committee in an address last night in
Metropolitan Memorial NJ. f. Church,
made "a strong attack on liquor dealers
and the liquor traffic.
He is a native Of Bridgeport Conn.
and came to Washington for the purpose
of securing legislation TO prevent the sale
OF liquor in the District.
Bishop SatterIee has said he does not
favor prohibition because it is useless to
make laws that cannot be enforced. -
said Mr.. O'Brien, but this is "A delusion.
II the national government can prohibit
the sale of deCayed meat and enforce the
law, it can also prohibit the sale Of in
toxicants and enforce the law. If All the
beef in Chicago that is unfit to eat was
canned and sold, il would not cause one
tenth the harm the liquor traffic is doing
when the law was passed in my ma
tive town of Bridgeport prohibiting the
sale of liquor on Sunday ! requested the
owners Of the large factories TO keep a
record of the number of men who failed
to appear for work on Monday morning
These records showed that only per
cent Of the force were absent on Monday
after the law was passed, while i per
cent were absent on Monday before the
law was passed
I'm the following three months there
was an increase of 5000 in the savings
banks of the town. These are cold, hard
figures, ard they tell the truth. Every
dollar that passes over the bar is taken
out Of the legitimate channels Of trade. -
