piciouslike and fin a happy frame of mind the other evening, I picked up the paper and ran kerfiunk on an item about the strenuous efforts of the lonely lassieS over in Germany to secure meal tickets for life They were maids of the viii lage of Ecaussines, 1t seems, In the Prov ince of Hainau-wherever in the do- main of the Kaiser that is-and they were right on the job too, with deter imitation and energy that would have won them fame and fortune in oil or in wheat.

With diabolical knowledge of mans vulnerable point Achilles to the contrary notwith- standing, they spread out on the village green a feast it for the gods Then the chief female grabber of the lonely damsels started in and harangued the helpless weaker sex on their failure to take unto themselves wives.

Character By "Shoeo1oqy."

HFWAS talking the other day with one N of those detective chaps" remarked M the eagle-eyed man aoyer his shortcake X at lunch the other day, land he told " me a few things that seem to make the stunts of one Sherlock Holmes not so i'm probable after all. He called 1t 'shoe- ology'' for iack of better name. Claimed you could read a chaps character by his shoes. Said he did 1t always. It may be true, or 1t may not, but it's interest ing anyway. 2
 Tt all hinges, you see. on the way in which a man wears out the soles of his shoes. My detective friend claimed, by way of illustration, that the fellow who wears out his sole at the ball of the foot is a plodder who sticks to a task like grim death. So much so, fin fact, that he is frequently incapable of reasoning to the best advantage-sort of a stubborn-asa mule chap, I gathered. By the same de ductive method, he argued man who wears out only the right side of the sole of the right shoe is a high brow-a law yer, a doctor or student.

THE BIG CURIO STORE
 THE SOUVENIR PLACE
Tourists or Winter Visitors Should Call
 Before Departure.

Balkes Big Curio Store is now the souvenir store. People with thoughts of their eastern and northern homes which they left to escape the rigors of winter are now returning or think ing of returning. Most of them are taking, or intending to take, back with them to waiting friends mementoes of their stay in Arizona.
 Most of them have found out that the Big Curio tore is the place ta find these mementoes, and those who have not yet found it out and are still wor- rving about it should call at the store. They should make out a list of the friends they wish to remember, the age and sex, and designate about the amount of money they wish to invest in the gifts. The well trained clerks at the Big Curio Store will do the rest. They will make a selection of gifts whose appropriateness and price will pleasingly surprise the purchaser. It will be a better selection than he

Sugar Cure for Drink

H LARGER number of men nowadays
 eat candy than at any other time in the history of the country. And some authorities claim that this has re- suited in the decline of the public appe- tite for alcoholic stimulants Or, rather, that sugar and sweets will deaden the desire for whisky. beer, etc. A little extra sugar in your coffee of a morning, the munching of a bit of chocolate dur ing the day or the eating of bit of pastry, when the craving for drink comes, is considered reliable substitute for the cup that cheers+nnd queers. Instances have been cited by physicians of men who gradually decreased their daily con- sumption of drinks by increasing their allowance of candy. In almost every city in the country confectionery stores have increased noticeably in Iumber-and 1t scarcely seems fair to lay all that to the sweet tooth of woman Consular re- ports show that an increased amount of sugar is being used in this country yearly. These and other signs, it is argued, in- dicate that man Is gradually turning from alcohol to sugar and sugar-plums.

resist absolutely the temptation of with drawing a part of their savings at one time or another when they are greatly In need of cash. In this way a man may save several hundred dollars-eYen thousand-but unless he be most provi- dent soul. the time seems to come in- variably when he simply has to draw some of that money out And once he starts the rest Of 1t follows quickly. Business Or no business, ill-advised or foolish, the fact remains that the aver are salaried man meets with these con ditions when he tries to save.
 If you do not believe 1t and if you are q man on a moderate salary, ask yourself exactly what you would do tomorrow with $1.0OO if you had 1t In cold, hard cash. It has been said, you know, that after mans first sl,O00 the rest Comes much easier But what would you do with this sI.OOO of yours7 Do you know Of any investment you could make and realize more than per cent. on without taking an awful long shot-in the stock market perhaps? Of course, yOu could start a peanut stand on 1t, or you might start several hot dog" and popcorn wagons on their nocturnal Journeys around the city. But what more could you do with that S1,0O0? Wouldn't you quickly come to the realization that $l,OOO according to present day business methods and opportunities, is mere bagatellet Therefore, you might argue-what's the user
 Lest this preachment be stamped as lladvised and harmful to the young man, let it be stated immediately that its ob- feet Is not to discount saving, but to point out the fact that promiscuous say ing, if such a thing be possible, is H. advised and discouraging- one be content to merely have a sufficient sum laid by for a rainy day.

But be even more feery' of the man who walks with his heels close together and his toes pointing in opposite dlrections-for he Is treacherous, selfish and unprincipled. The fellow who wears out his heels and toes equally. however. is q cheerful. energetic chap who believes in himself and his fel- low man. Your gentleman of the leisure class, who doesn't have to work for living, generally wears his out at the heels only, while the workingman in performing his labor wears his soles in several different places.
 He went on like that for quite n while-those are the only Illustrations he gave that can remember-until, in fact, I stopped him with the tactless query as to whether he laid every suspect out flat on his back to look at the soles of his shoes"

worth while there must be an object. If the man be married the purchasing of a home by monthly payments provides an incentive to save that brings in the end positive results worth while.

The purchas- Ing of an interest In s business. when arrangements 10 that effect can be made. is plan that offers results worth going after.

Mesa, Arizona.

A OMEONE has most aptly said: Tt N isn't what a man makes. but what
 he saves. that counts" All of AV which. no doubt, is very true, but
 the point of interest to the average man working on a salary is the count ing" part of it. Granted that man lives within his income and manages to put hundred or so in the bank each year. At the end of the year what in the world Is he to do with that two hun Gred except to let it lie in bank drawing from to per cent. interest? If he be a man ia F business where investments are open to him. he may find a field for his money. But if he's the average man on a salary. with no possibility of dou- bling his money on a quick return invest ment the proposition seems discOurag ing one He has saved all year. He has s2O0. What shall he do with 1t? If he allows 1t to remain fin bank. at the end of another year 1t has earned from SC to SS By that time he has saved another two hundred, let us say, and at the end Of another year his total earnings on the s4O0 will be in the neighborhood of from S2O to S2j. And this in two years, mind you.
 The average man on salary finds him self much in the above position. What Is the use? It Is all right to talk to him of what $1 will do fin p years at com pound interest, and 1t is very pleasing to show that a saving of s10 per month for a period of from 9 to 90 years will put a man on easy street for the rest of hls life But it isn't cheerful. To the average man on salary 1t isn't practical. Ii seems a hopelessly long task. The game is all right, but there's the deuce to pay as far as the candle-end Of 1t is con- cerned. In the first place, his money In bank is always subject to check, and there are but few salaried men who can

Same Arguments Presented That Have Gone Before. Tempe Band Appreciated.

A mass meeting was held last night in the Mesa opera house by the Tempe citizens. The Tempe band was present and played several se- lectiOns throughout the evening and were heartily appreciated.
