How to Save Money.
The rules of saving by which a
teamster in Chicago accumulated
nearly $4,000 have proved too exact
Ing to cause much emulation. The
ways of George Johnston were the
ways of miser, though he was as
Industrious as he was frugal. But:
He never married.
He had no desire for amusement
and spent no money for luxuries.
He was always on the job"
The secret of his accumulation lay
n interest, he reinvested what he had
saved and piled interest on capital.
Other city teamsters have the record
If making $4,000 to s25.OOO, and one
man saved $4,000 in II years. An
employer said he never heard of any
,ne that equaled Johnston's figure
or even half of it-but that undoubt-
sdly he made some wise investments

WINDY CITY is PUTTING ON AIRS

C,hicago. April 11.-"Raisin day
wall be observed this year in Chicago
and raisin bread make its appearance
April 30, in most cases for the first
time, as result of the letters Of en-
thusiastic tourists to California where
bread without raisins is a ration of
self denial and where raisin day Is an
annual carnival. Some years ago
somebody discovered that raisins
were working mans food, with high
nutritive value and proceeded to eat
raisins not only in cake and mince pie
and cookies but raisihs IN bread. in
meat sauces and in dozen novel
ways AS result some organization
or other for the reduction of the high
cost of living by agreeable methods
proclaimed raisins as food of great
value and little relative cost. In
stead Of luxury, to be doled out in
a niggardly spirit, they were to be
eaten as freely as potatoes and with
much more delight to the palate. They
also produced proof of this theory.
Raisins in bread was an innovation
that went like wildfire and tourists
got the habit. Their precept and ex-
ample has been having noticeable ef-
feet at church suppers, lodge ban
quets and picnics in all the states east
of the Rockies these last two years
and the towns where raisin bread is
eaten dot the landscape as raisins dot
the bread. This year the tourist has
had hearty response to his urging to
make April 30 "raisin day through
out the country as well as on the Pa
cific slope.
Alarm for Farmers.
Another alarm for the agricultural
future of the country sounded from
Washington in the report that not
only Is soil fertility diminishing but
that the ground water is lowering at
the rate Of nearly two feet decade,
has been taken as a menace to Chi
cago prestige as the greatest clearing
place of the country''s agricultural
products. 1t has been realized for
some time that both irrigation and
drainage were limited and that there
would be required ultimately some
more generally applicable practice.
AS result there has been of late in
creased study of foreign methods in
which deep roofing crops, which help
in the retention of the valuable |
ground water, play the most import
ant part Local investigators are now |
convinced that the cultivation of such
crops, particularly the sugar beet, has
been chiefly instrumental in enab-
ling Germany not only far to surpass
this country, but through their agency |
actually to increase the principal crop
yields at a rate not approached here
With only As per cent of surface area

sugar, 12 times as many potatoes, and
25 times as much rye. That similar
results can be accomplished here If

hampered and the menace Of 6ecreas-
ing ground water counteracted, 1t

4 Great BILL At
GARDEN Theatre
FIVE CLASSY ACTS MADE BIG
HIT LAST NfGIT-IiEIiE ALL
WEEK.

Years Of the most careful effort on
part of vaudeville managers to elimi-
nate everything aud anything in the
slightest degree immoral or impolite
IN the character of their offerings. or
IN the demeanor of their employees in
whatever rank, has at length con-
yinced the public generally of the abb
sCIute cleanliness and morality Df
vaudeville. There is no longer any
excuse needed TO attend that form of
entertainment; no apology need fol-
low a visit to vaudeville such as used
70 be necessary after seeing variety.
The presence Of clergymen is not un-
usual at the Garden and with seldom
an exception these men Of the cloth
attest the general and sensible change
Of consideration for vaudeville shows
ON the part of church folks.
Vaudeville as the managers of the
present.. day present It, Is clean and
refined to such an extent that the
word FANNY" has about been dropped
from the billing matter. This term
was CnlnlONeu 70 SHOW inc DuDlIC lildl
the shows were fit for the family TO
witness. But with the general i'm
provement, vaudeville has come into
such hieh favor that the head of the
house needs no assurance regarding
the character Of coming perform
ance--having had all doubt removed
by the careful censoring Of the man
agement in the past.
The programs that have been seen
a. the Garden since a change of book
ings was made, have been of such ex-
cellent grade that compliments have
been showered on the management
from all sides. The present bill, for
instance. includes features which will |
appeal to all classes of theatergoers
aud which have educational value as
well as entertaining value.
The Bill which opened last night |
pleased immense crowds at both |
shows. II will continue the rest of |
the week, and to miss 1t is TO pass up |
a treat. The Luigi Picarro troup.. |
Martina q Cousineau and the three
other acts are vail extremely classy.
