SAVING

Money or wealth is simply stored
up energy, capable of being diverted
in any direction the owner sees fit.
But so far as each individual is con-
cerned, it can only be consumed
once. No individual can get beyond
the need of this stored up energy.
1t costs something to be born; and a
Pittsburgh undertaken complains
that it costs so much to die that his
business is suffering. 1t is not a
secret, that is costs to live.
