SMALL SAVINGS MEAN MUCH
Better for a Youth to Shave Himself
Than to Receive 1000 Guineas,
Says Wise Man.

A wise man said $50 years ago that
il was far better for youth to learn
to shave himself than to receive gift
Of one thousand guineas.
The man who shaves himself every
morning saves great deal of time and
also the income of a good $1,000 bond
for that day.
The man who cuts out one ten-cent
cigar every day saves at least the divi-
dend on IL shares of railroad stock.
One less drink of ordinary whisky a
day would pay for the bread of two per-
sons for that day.
Uncle Sam will carry letter for
you 10000 miles for what you paid for
that one Turkish cigarette you are
smoking.
If you had five morning newspapers
sent to your home you would grumble
at your own extravaganza. That sim
gle cocktail before dinner costs you
more than twice as much.
Russell Sage insisted that the easiest
way he knew to earn the income Of a
dollar for whole year was to walk to
his Office once.

A Pathetic Letter.

In the height of the great cotton sit

Kisses for Health.

A doctor, commenting on the health.
fulness of kissing stated that, though
many health reasons have been given
why one should not indulge in kiss,
little has been heard Of the other side.
THE main health reason" he said,
'is that it acts like magic in soothing
down irritable nerves. Take, for in
stance, if, on arriving home, you find
your wife's temper rather high. A
prompt and affectionate kiss will dis
pei it, and at the same time save you
from a nerve-racking Mrs. Caudle lee
ture across the tea table.
Again, one of the children is peev-
ish. A mothers kiss here will more
often than not soothe down the child 8
nerves. A kiss acts in some peculiar
way on our nervous system, and it in
voluntarily responds by making us
cheerful
"A kiss, when installed In bed, will
send the children off into the pleasant
sleep, and if dreams come they will be
pleasant rather than horrible and
gloomy"

REALLY NOT so VERY CRAZY
Man With Money to Invest Might
Have Made Big Profts-Many
Cases on Record.

A man entered a picture gallery the
other day and said:
"Tve got 100000 that I want to
spend In the encouragement OF native
art. / want to buy paintings by un-
known painters Of talent. This will
help the painters along, and. II l
choose wisely. 1t will be good invest
ment for me. / put myself In your
hands"
Needless to say the dealer was
more than pleased.
You're a wise man and good
man." he muttered, and he had al
ready chosen for his patron 100 can
vases, valued at $4,000, when a uni
formed keeper entered. The patron
was, alas! insane.
But, dear reader; ere you smile,
stop and ask yourself If that lunatic's
proposition was so very lunatic, after
all.
Men go daily to their bankers with
sums far greater than 100000; they
ask their bankers to choose invest
ments for them; and the bankers
choose N. G., which later on drops 70
points; and p. d. r., which drops 81
points; and New Haven, which drops
$50 points; and S. O. H., which van
ishes altogether. Yet the action OF
these men is not deemed insane and
nobody dreams of smiling at it.
Why smile, then, at the lunatic's
action? The lunatic a score of years
ago could have spent his 100000 on
Whistlers at $50 or SIS that are now
worth $4,000; on Illnesses at 800
that have risen to $4,000; on Sisleys
at $3.50 that easily fetch s7,500.-New

To Avoid Colds.

A few points to remember IL you
would avoid taking cold-never go d.
rectly from a very warm atmosphere
into very cold air. Don't jump from
an overheated room into an ice-cold
bed on a sleeping porch. Remove
your wraps when shopping indoors on
cold day, or when visiting Don't
bundle up the throat, but don't expose
the whole chest. Seventy degrees
should be the highest temperature In
your living rooms or Offices Don't over
exert, then expose yourself to infec-
ton in a draft or In hot room that
Is probably full of disease germs.
Keep your vitality at par, avoid people
with bad colds, and you will probably
get through the bad seasons with no
more than a sniffie or so.

IneMcienoy Of Broken Steel.

Experience has shown that the end
of a bar of steel that has been bro

working or cutting end of die or

bar have been SO severely strained in
breaking that the steel Is. unsuitable
for performing the work done by a

be made the shank Of the punch, while

CocOanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

II you want to keep your hair
in good condition, the less soap
you use the butter.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. THIS
dries the scalp. makes the hair
brittle, and is very harmful. Just
plain mulsified cocoanut oil
(which is pure and entirely grease
less), is much better than soap
or anything else you can use for
shampooing. as this can't possibly
injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abund-
ance OF rich, creamy lather, and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out
easily, and removes every particle
of dust, dirt. dandruff and excess
sive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly. and it leaves it fine
and silky. bright, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsifed cocoanut
oil at most any drug store. II Is
very cheap, and a few ounces is
enough 40 last everyone in the
family for months.
