EXCELLENT LESSON IN THRIFT
How Compound Interest viii Work
Wonders With Small Annual
Bank Deposits.

An Illinois savings bank has adver-
tised that 1t will place one dollar to
the credit of every baby born in that
city, and it advises the parents Of
the children to deposit on each birth
day of the child as many dollars as
the youngster is years old, then to let
she money remain In the bank, draw
ing interest, until the child reaches
twenty-one.
1t is a clever advertisement and ex-
cellent advice. If parents did that,
the total sum deposited to the credit
of the child upon its twenty-first birth
day, including $21 for that birthday,
would be 1921, or an average Of $ll
year. But the bank account on that
twenty-flrst birthday would show a
much larger sum, $2S459, in fact,
computed at the savings bank rate
of interest, three per cent.
That is, the sum of $3.50 will have
been paid in interest, compounded.
The amount which would accrue at
simple interest would be $46.2O, or
more than twice the amount depos-
tied on the twenty-first year, while
the actual interest received would be
two and a half times the last de-
post.
Besides, the interest on interest
that is, the excess produced by com
poundng-would amount to 1888, or
more than one-thlrd Of the final and
largest deposit, and would be about
SO per cent. OF the average yearly de-
post of 81. Thus is well shown how
money breeds from itself, and there
is little doubt that parents able to
make such deposits would afford to
their children remarkable illustra-
ton Of the value OF thrift and its In
tluence in life, besides giving each
youngster a substantial sum with little
hardship to the depositor.

Last Word in Precantion

Two friends boarded a great trans
atlantic. liner and set sail for Cher
bourg. One was a Good Fellow. The
other was Niggardly Man. The
first night out they went to their
stateroom.
Say, Bob, said the Niggardly
Man. Il wish you'd step out on deck
while ! undress."
That's a remarkable request" OBJ
jected the Good Fellow. why have
you developed this streak of bash
fulness at this late day? | never saw
any signs of 1t before"
Never mind about that" said the
Niggardly Man. You get OUT
After long and acrimonious argu-
ment, the Good Fellow went out on
deck and stayed half an hour. When
he returned to the stateroom the Mig
gardly Man was stretched out in the
upper berth. Moreover. he was
dressed up like a Christmas tree in
a beribboned nightgown and a wom-
ans boudoir cap.
tSayi" exclaimed the Good Fellow.

have you got that makeup on ?''

has been stretched so that it covers
all the cotton materials and elimi-
mates most of the linens. Many of
the French embroidered dresses are
made with a deep facing of black or
dark blue taffeta, which is great
saving on the dress, for 1t keeps the
white material away from the floor.

Politeness

Once there dwelt poor boy, who
was called Tom White. He worked
hard for his family and was polite
His father was sick and his mother
worked all she could to make
living for the family.
An old woman once entered the
shop where Tom worked The boss
was not there. All the workers of this
shop slowly walked away when the
women entered and made out that
they did not notice her
Tom gladly welcomed her In the
place. He was so polite to her that II
was impossible to describe it. Soon
the boss entered and said It was his
mother. The woman told the boss of
Toms politeness. For this Tom was
rewarded with a great deal of money
and got higher position.

Another way to wash pillows when
they are wanted for new ticking is
TO put the feathers into a cheese
cloth bag and wash the bag as d.
rected for pillows. To transfer the
feathers without scattering any, open
one end of the old pillow. Draw tho
mouth of the cheese cloth bag up
some inches over this opening and
then haste it down to the ticking. The
feathers can now be shaken from one

one.
Down comfortables may be washed

so may those filled with lambs wool.

when this kind becomes soiled there

Good night to the underground
country" said Larry, and the others
also realized what had just happened
while they had been hundreds of
feet below the water, the whole sew
enty-odd thousand people had been
swept away. Not a soul remained of
the two nations but the king. He
seemed to take it to heart fearfully,
and he begged Captain Bell to go
back, but at that very moment with
terrific roar the whole vault again
burst out in flames. and with
desperate haste, Ward sent the 6bat
under. He was just on time, for
whole portion of the cavern had
fallen, and knowing it was useless
to try and go back now, the craft
was kept on its way south.
The channel began to wind in and
out and with all the possible speed,
Ward kept on, being assured BY Cap

blow, even in the diving suit. He was
very much interested in the creature,
and she seemed to be interested In
him, for she stopped down and lifted
him up as IL he were a child. AT that
instant every light went out in the
ship and the whole sea was plunged
in darkness. Ward had seen the She
