Does AWAY With FILES
S1UBBS SHOW WHAT PAYMENTS
ARE FOR AND ELIMINATES
CUMBERSON FILES.
IT Saves VERY MUCH time
Has Bills Paid for Thirty Years In
dexed in Chronological
order.

Tn these days OF well-nigh perfect
business organization, when experts
are being paid large salaries to sys-
tematize and organize corporations so
running expenses may be cut down
and the little wastes stopped, when
there are several large periodicals
devoted entirely to the exploitation
and money saving devices in business,
1t might not be amiss to point out
ways which money may be saved in
the conduct Of domestic affairs.
This IS not intended as an article
on domestic economy, nor it Is intend
ed to instruct the housewife in the
ways IN which to pr pare tempting
dishes out of scraps left over from
former meal. 1t is intended more for
the head Of the family, who pays the
bills.
"Kceps All RECEIPTS"
Perhaps the first thing one learns
when one begins to pay bills Is the
we'll worn advice: Keep receipt
Tradesmen are many ond Of various
characters. 1t is not safe to trust the
grocer or even the gas company. Even
when dishonesty does not enter tho
transaction, it is not unusual Tor ary-
one to think q bill has been PAID
when he ntende to pay it, and to be-
come righteously indignant when the
bill is presented again.
The objection is that receipts are
cumbersome. They are of varied sizes
and only a large box-file can contain
them all Even a boX-file soon be-
comes full and has to be replaced. IL
is not safe to throw away a single
receipt because it may be jlst that
one you will need.
Checks Best Method.
There is but one way in which you
can keep receipts easily. neatly, and
still furnish ndisputable proof of pay
ment. That is to pay by check, de-
note on the check what the payment
is for, and keep the checks. There
Is a man in Tulsa who has paid ev'
cry bill he ever owed by check since
he was 80 years old. He is now 81,
and he has kept every cancelled
check. So neatly have these checks
been bound in chronological order and
indexed that this man can tell in less
than two minutes how much he paid
for gas In July, 1894, or what his
grocery bill was for August, 1882.
And the whole mass of checks does
not quite fill a small case, which he
keeps for the purpose.

half Of thrift. Save your money, de-
posit It in savings bank until you
have enough to open a checking ac-
count with one of the State or Ma
tional banks or Trust companies, and
then YOU can pay your bills by check.
BY this means you will not only save
money by preventing the possibility
OF paying a bill twice, but you will
save the car fare and the time wasted
in going personally to the office or
store and paying in currency what
You owe"

cure for tuberculosis, discovered by a

Now city planning has become proc

cost and ends with a city more

Now Mr.. John Nolen is a recog-

not pursuing its own will but is doing
the sensible thing for obeying orders.
Mr.. Nolen gave four directions for
our work.
First. That we secure the official
endorsement OF the city officials. This
we have done.
Second The official endorsement
of the Keokuk Industrial Association,
which though some do not know it is
doing such splendid work for the
Greater Keokuk. This has been done
Third. The endorsement and co

Fourth The cooperation Of all

citizens of every block in the city o.

When he got ten he thought
His compensation mean;
He knew he'd reach his hearts desire

A person could not thrive
In this expensive day and age
On less than twenty-five.
He finally got twenty-five,
The sum he thought so nifty,
But found he couldn't be content
And live on less than fifty.
He got his fifty one fine day,
And then he found out that
He never could be happy quite
Without one hundred flat.
He made some wise deals after that
And gathered in million.
But was he happy? No. indeed
He had to have billion
And it is safe to say that II
He really got his billion,
