We call your attention to fact OF
signal Importance to yourself
There are Two positions in life for
you.
You must follow your own dictaiion
and be independent. or you must fol
low the path laid before you by some
member of the old school and follow
the old rut, and mayhap still drive
delivery wagon.
Knowing as we do. that you are to
be Independent is our reason for ad.
dressing you. Listen and we will tell
you how to gain that independence.
First make your money work for
you
Second, save from the money that
you earn from the money that works
for you, and make that work too.
Third, save from the savings from
the money that you earn from the
money of that money that works for
you and make that work also
Everyone knows that very little can
be done from the interest that one
receives from the savings banks
Therefore better means OF invest
ment Something that is safe yet earn
Ing large dividends.
And 1t is OF this that we are about to
talk
Surely you wouldn't care for better
investment than California Oil.
Investors in the East derive the pal
try sum of three and one-half cents on
their hard-earned dollar for its use for
one year, while the stockholders in the
same bank paying 3ia per cent TO
the depositors receive no less than 140
per cent on their dollar invested in the
stock of the bank, during the same
year These figures are taken from
the actual report of the directors Of
one of the wealihiest banks in New
York city, and any one who wishes to
know the truth of it can easily enough
determine it ON the commercial sheets
when the dividends are declared. And
the dividends so declared are largely
derived from money invested in Cali.
fornia; more often than not in the oil
industry of the so-called Golden
State" Being interested almost sole
ly in oil, from which vast fortunes are
realized yearly, we would like to make
statement of the reasons why we be
lieve that oil affords today greater
chances for gigantic, legitimate returns
on investments than any other indus
try,
In he first place, oil is the great fuel
of the Pacific Coast. Two and one.
half barrels of oil are the equal of
one ton of coal in thermal units. In
other words. the same amount of heat
can be obtained from az barrels of
oil as can be obtained from one ton of
coal But the difference in price is
very great. Coal, producing the same
amount of heat per ton as 2ls barrels
of oil, costs anywhere from Sc to SIS
per ton wholesale. Two and one-half
barrels of oil figured at the market
delivery price of 81 per barrel. costs
S25O-a saving of from $3.50 10 $3.50
on every ton OF coal displaced by oil.

Chain the Baby Up,

Put the baby on dog leash. That's
the latest freak of society: but, unlike
many society freaks. this has the sane
ton of medical men, who calm that it
is lot better to have a child on a
leash than to yank it along the street,
dragging it's arms out of their sock
cts. Already a few women have been
seen in the gardens with their children
in leash. and from the appearance of
mothers and children it seems as
though all are pleased. The child has
a little more freedom than it would
have if it were being held by the hand,
and the women-well, they have more
freedom too. The baby leash is made
exactly like a dog leash, and it is
bought at any of the harness stores.
The more elaborate leashes have reg
uIar little harness. but the simplest
ones consist of the ordinary strap pass
ed once around the middle of the
chld's body, fastened with a buckle
and with a long enough end to give
baby a yard of freedom. In the neigh
borhood of the parks the baby leash
has already become very popular, for
it gives the nursemaids a chance to
look after their small charges by hand,
so to speak. while turning their minds

A POULTRY FOOD OF GENUINE
MERIT.

The manrfacturer Of any stock food
must be attentive to all the details Of
its preparation, beng certain that only
tirSt-class materials enter into its compo-
sition. 1t is claimed for Pages Per-
fected Poultry Food" that there
doesn't enter into its composition a sin
gle particle of the ordinary meat meal
which is the basis Of so many poultry
foods. The nearest approach to it is
what is known as tallow scraps OF
cracklings, and every grandmother who
has lived on the farm and taken care
Of chickens knows there is nothing bet
ter to make hens lay than tallow scraps,
and Pages Perfected Poultry Food"
contains a considerable percentage of
this ingredient.

food and the best ways Of using 1t,
write to G. s. Page, Hyde Park, VT,

Human Tree DwelIers.

In the interior of Malaga live about
5000 people. the remnant of an old tree
dwelling race called the Sakai. They
dwell in little matched huts built in
trees at the height OF from eight to
twenty feet. And no wonder. consid-
ering how they have been almost ex-
terminted by the Malays. The Sakais
are the abor:gines Of the peninsula.
They are rather small and of fairly
light complexion, with ugly faces, but
well shaped and active bodies They
are not yet provided with modern
weapons, but at a distance of sixty feet
can shoot darts from their blowguns
with almost unerring accuracy, thus
getting plenty of small game. In their
trees the people are almost invisible
to hunters and explorers who thread
their wilderness. Some few of the
Sakais have left their forest homes to
live in huts on the ground level on the
outskirts of the Malay towns. But un-
der British rule the remnant of the
tribe seems fairly likely to survive and
to keep its arborea habits for years to
come.

NEW ENGLAND's DROWNINGS
More Than Six Hundred Bathers Lost
During the Season of 1909

Boston, Feb. 28.-Bathers in New
England during the summer season Of
1909 paid an exceptionally dear toll
to the waters, according to figures
compiled by the United States volun-
teer life saving corps, showing that
604 persons were drowned in the New
England states last summer during
the months from May to September,
inclusive. Of this number 272 were

general knowledge of life saving
methods for everyone" in order that
the number of drownings during the
outdoor seasons be reduced

Fall River, Mass. Feb. 27.-An-
thOny SalermO, arraigned in court on
the charge of wife beating, presented
an extraordinary defense. He main

her when he saw fit.
Neighbors, who for weeks had been
disturbed by the nightly cries of the
woman, brought the charges and
testified that they had seen blows
struck. Salermo was fined $25 and
