selected and furnished, and tn,
newly-made husband and wifi,
draw a long breath of satisfac
tion and relief that at last they
are settled. !"
They look around the coy
home, and their hearts swell
with pride that it is all theirs
their very own. Surely they car
want nothing more to make them
perfectly happy. They have each
other, they have their home ano
a comfortable salary to maintain
it, they have their friends wha,
more could mortal wish for?
| There is. however, one other
thing that they do need, or the
time will surely come when this
happy family in their comfort,
able home will not be able tc
weather the storms of life.
/ When we are happy we do not
like to look ahead for trouble,
nor do we need to do so. That
would mar our happiness. All
that is necessary is to take the
history of every man or woman
that ever lived, and it will show
that life is made up of both storm
and sunshine.
The storm does not bother us
much, however, if we are safely
housed and warm, and there is
nothing that can secure us from
the storms of life like a bank sc-
c 3unt.
True love will stand the test
Of many troubles, but if the time
comes when illness or financial
disaster cuts off the income, then
a bank account, however small,
is the rudder that guides love
through the storm.
Young husband, young wife.
set out pencil and paper, and
figure up the exact amount cf
your weekly or monthly income,
then first of all set aside a cer-
tain sum to be saved every month,
and live on the balance.
Get In the habit of feeling that
this amount must be saved, re-
gard it as taxes, for you know
that taxes must be paid. or the
property will be lost. Just so it
is with your saving. If YOU do
not save, the time will come
when your home will go to pay
Doctors bills, to tide over the
financial strait, or for one of the
many difficulties that come to all
people at some time dnring their
natural life. Do not think that
you will be exempt from trouble.
1t is not in accoraaaee with the
great plan Of the universe that
any one should have all sunshine.
If, however, you have a bank
account you can meet the trouble
bravely and try again with re
newed vigor.
Why Aat start the new life in
double harness on practical,
business like basis? Young man.
De frank with your wife; tell hel
exactly how mich your salary is
Ind ask her to help y U save a
certain sum each month. so thai
when old age comes, you may Sit
together and rest in comfort
after your many years of labor
You will find her eager to helE
YOU and soon you will both have
.he saving habit.
Give her her own savings ac-
count and each day she will fino
lew ways to save and will take
)ride in showing you at the enG
