Every member of the official fam
lily present is directly concerned in
preventing neutrality violations. The
rostoffice department, with its corps
of inspectors; the treasury depart-
ment, through the secret service. and
the department of justice, through
its bureau of investigation, are equip
ped to detect any offenses OF this
character. AS recently announced bv
the attorney general, the facts gath
cred by agents other than those of he
department of justice will be turled
over to that department for action,
but each branch of the government
will look into any suspicious clrcun-
stances coming to its notice and
where there is ground for further
action, it will be taken promptly.
Within the next few weeks, MI
Gregory is expected to bring 10 the
attention of congress the need for ad-
Citional legislation to safeguard the
nations neutrality. Suggestions nave
been made to him for more than one
hundred amendments to existing laws
which officials who have investigated
think will cover the entire ground
and which. if on the statute books
at present, could be used to pros
eCute many offenders escaping be-
cause of lack of laws under which
prosecution could be brought
No Conflict of Authority.
1t was said tonight that there hac
been no conflict between the various
departments in investigation OF neu-
tralitv violations, but rather a fail
ure to coordinate and cooperate,
which resulted to the disadvantage OF
the department of justice in prose-
cutting punishable offenses or handi'
canned the state department in its
diplomatic relations to belligerent
countries
There was said to be no present
idea to attempt to consolidate the
work of detection under any one de-
partment or any one head. The agents
of each department are held to be
peculiarly fitted for the line of work
they are called upon to do whether
involving violations of the statutes
relating to purely domestic matters
or those relating to offenses which
have an international aspect.
No specific cases or circumstances
were before the cabinet officers to-
day. the discussion being devoted to
the general subject.

you agree,-there is no other way
Make your word as good as your

obligations. Don't "welch" on your
business transactions. Play the man.
Don't let the lender do all the worry

Don't let it go at that, but worry to
certain result. Don't think for a
moment your creditor has forgotten
your debt, no matter how old, we
never forget such things.

War Upon Pain.

Pain is a visitor to every house and
usually it comes quite Unexpectedly.
But you are prepared for every emer.

Simply laid on the skin-no rubbing

THRIFT TALK
GOOD NAME AND
YOUR CREDIT
TWO THINGS EVERY MAN SHOULD
BE JEALOUS OF: HIS GOOD
NAME AND HIS CREDIT, THE
LAST HIS BEST FRIEND.

Every man should be jealous OF
two things: his good name and his
credit. A good name helps his credit
and good credit helps good name.
He should value his reputation as his
choicest possession, and he should
guard his credit equally as well, II
not better than he guards his money,
He can protect his good name by
keeping good company, avoiding ques-
tionable places and bad habits in
general. His name is what he chooses
to make it, He can build up and
protect his credit by one COURSE
borrowing and paying as he agrees
buying on time and paying on time.
The greatest force in the business
world is credit-the power to bor-
row: to get trusted; to obtain the
property of another to use as our own
on a mere promise to pay. Credit
says Webster, has done more a
thousand times to enrich the nations
than all the mines in the world"
Credit spans rivers, opens mines,
builds railroads, moves commerce
and wages war. Our whole business
structure rests upon it. For every
extension of credit there must be
debt, and there can be no credit
where there is no debt.
Debt is not dishonorable; the abuse
of credit is The man who runs in
debt is not a business offcast but
a sensible man,-provided he uses

forms of debt to be encouraged;
there are others to be avoided. TO
buy a house with mortgage on 1t
is commendable; but to buy an au-
tomoble from the proceeds of
mortgage on your house ought to be
a disgrace. To run grocery Dill
is no crime: to fail to pay as you
agree ought to be. To furnish your
house on the installment plan. may
be the best thing you ever did-some
people could not have a home any
other way; but to buy clothes on
dollar week installment plan is TN
ancial suicide.
Strange as it may seem, those who
have operated on the pay-as-you-go-
or-don't-go-plan find it difficult when
they must ask for credit. The trouble
is, they have done nothing to estab-
lish their credit. This is particularly
true in large cities where ones habits
are not well done, but in small places
a reputation as a cash customer soon
gets to be common property At any
rate it is a good plan to deal on
credit for the sake of the time when
YOU may need accommodation.
One of the best known public ac-
countants in New York states that
early in life he saw the time coming
when he would need to borrow, and
concluded to establish his credit be-
forehand. He knew that If he Dor
rowed and paid promptly, he would
soon have good credit, and six per
cent for credit is cheap. And so he
opened a bank account, got in favor
with his banker borrowed but paid
punctually, until he was well regard
ed as credit risk.
The time came when he needed
money to finance his undertakings,
and he found no trouble in getting
what he wanted, because he had es-
tablished himself as a safe borrower
