HOW HE SAVED.

1t has often been remarked that
when one tries to save, say, a man by
abstaining from tobacco or cigars and
woman from candy and ice cream
the amount unexpended goes into
something else just as Unnecessary. 1t
is all like saving at the spigot and
wasting at the bung. According to a
Western paper, the Hon William AL
len White has given his personal ex-
perience with the water wagon in pro-
hibition Kansas, and says: eve have
saved about 500 a head from our Ii
quor bill to spend for things worth
while" Then he gives the following
as to the manner the savings went
in another direction:

That is not altogether a bit of hu-
NOR. If everyone kept daily list of
what he spends it will be seen that
the money is not wasted on so-called
luxuries, like tobacco, beer, candy and
ice cream, but on many another thing
we could do we'll without and to which
we never give a thought, says the
