greater than capital could bear? Is
! 1t not reasonable to assume that pros
Iperity cannot return in full measure
until the damage is repaired? May
we not expect enterprise to wait un-
til the effect Of conservation of all
kinds begins to be felt?
The manager Of large cafe In New
York City is reported to have esti-
mated that New York on New Years
Eve spends $2.500,000 in suppers, the
aires, cabs, saloons, tips to walters,
etc. One-fifth OF that sum would buy
many an industry. Suppose 100000
individuals who have spent in any of
the larger cities $500 annually in tips,
cabs, theatre ticket commissions, etc,
banks and thus turn it into legitimate
enterprises, there would be 500, 000,-
900 to help make prosperity and keep
it.
While it is true that women, as a
rule, are more inclined to be thrifty
than men, yet it can be said, without
lack of gallantry to the fair sex, that
many women are almost totally lack
ing in the thrift instinct.
In some cases, the wife is the out
and-out extravagant member of the
matrimonial partnership.
To any suggestion from the mere

garding the wisdom of building up

count, she never listens patiently.
Possibly her retort on such occa-
sions is:
Make more money and then per-
haps we can save some"
That is splendid advice, to be sure,
but suppose the good husband has
about reached the limit of his earning
capacity? Suppose he or some other
member of the family should have an
expensive Illness? Do not these pos
sibilities show the folly of putting off
all saving until earnings increase, if
they ever do increase?
Observation and experience alike
point unerringly to the conclusion
that the desire and the willingness to
save something must precede the ac-
tual accomplishment of that purpose,
be the annual income $500 or $1,000,
and that the experience of the person
who puts off saving is likely to be
that of the procrastinating sinner to
whom are addressed the words of the
old hymn:
eff you tarry till you're BETTER
You will never come at ALL
And besides, what resource is
money in the bank! How compound
interest adds to income! And how
much better and more effectively a
man works when his mind is freed
from worry over the present and anxi-
ETY. for the future.

CHARLES WHITMAN
IN FIRST MESSAGE
URGES ECONOMY
New York's Governor De-
cries Maintenance of Po-
sitions for Sake of Political
Patronage.

ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 6-'rhe increase,
an nm unprecedented scale, I'm the number
~ state officials and employees, and the
rerkless increase in salaries In nearly ell
departments the last four years, are ex-
nialnabIe only by the existence OF de-
ilberate plan to fasten the control of
marty upon the state by the use of a
vast amount OF official patronage" said
c.overnor Charles $. whitman in his
hrst message to the Legislature, delivered
this afternoon.
,The present condition of the States
finances" he said, demands an i'm
mediate and drastic revision OF the States
payrolls and requires that unnecessary
offices departments and commissions
shall he abolished. Service should be
rendered the state on the basis of effi-
Client and economical private employ
ment. and invite the cooperation OF tho
legislature In an effort TO accomplish
that end. whether the salaried officials OF
the State continue from a former admin
istration or take office under the present
administration.
at is not my purpose" the Governor
continued, ITO recommend to your honor
able body legislation popularity known
ms ripper legislation, TO tho end that
offices or places now held by members of
one political organization may be filed
by members OF another, but L do believe
that 1t will be my duty to ask, from
time to time, for such legislation as will
compel obedience TO the very simple man
date of the State constitution that 'ap-
polntments and promotion shall be made
according to merit and fitness, to be as
certained. so far as practicable, by ex-
aminations.'"
Governor whitman recommended fatty
that the Department of Efficiency and
Economy. with a large list of officials,
be abolished. The same recommendation
was made regarding the office and
helpers of the State fire marshal, various
special commissions and the State SUPER
intendent of elections.
Governor whitman did not read his
message in person. but sent It to both
bodies of the Legislature by his secre-
tary, William A. Orr.

If any proof is needed that magni-

For various reasons, the tempta-
tions to flirt with cotton have been un-
usual of late in the linen market. Cot
ton has no more charm for us than
ever. So far as this linen store is con-
cerned, cotton is welcome in bath
towel, but in nothing bearing the name
Of linen.
On that principle we have been en-
abled to make this linen store what it
is and to provide 10000 towels at
1212c up to 75c, which as a collection
are not equaled at the prices, qualities
and sizes compared.
There are heaps and heaps of huck-
aback towels at 121ac, size 1880, and
18c, size 17x32 inches. A wonderful
feature of the stock is the variety at
25c each in generous sizes-huckabac
and bird's-eye weaves, hemmed and
hemstitched all-white towels and
towels with colored borders.
Also we are especially well provided
with towels at SOC apiece-large sizes,
fine goods, and so the variety goes, up
to beautiful towels with hemstitched

size 24x42 inches.
Guest towels-hundreds of dozens
at 25c to 75c each are another UNIQUE
