ADVICE TO UNCLE SAM,

There Is certain queer old book which was printed in England more than hundred years ago called. "The Pleasant Art of Money Catching" It contains this good advice: First see that your comings-in be more than your layings-out." Suppose a man were taking ten thousand dollars a year over the counter of his store. That might seem big to him. But if he had to pay ten thousand and one dollars for stock and rent and help and fire, he would not be prospering, but failing. Uncle Sam does get a great deal of money from the liquor traffic. But he and we spend g very great deal more in caring for its yic- tins. So this is bad business. and when enough people have found it out the liquor traffic will go. They are finding it out very fast. Everybody who has studied arithmetic can figure out the reason for national prohibit ton. It is matter of dollars and cents.-Christine Tinling.

DYNAMITE SHIP IN TOLLS.
Cargo Worth Four Times Original Cost, but It's Bankrupting the Captain.

Lying off Staten Island is a German steamship with cargo of British nitro glycerin and no place to go. The eX. plosive is now worth four times what it was when the vessel, lodging Brit ish cruisers off Sandy Hook, reached the safety of the port of New York soon after the war started.
 But the German captain cant sell the nitro because it belongs to British con signees. And unless he sells it he won't have enough money to pay wharfage charges and so will have to pass the winter at anchor in the fair way at the mercy of floating ice.
 The India is the steamship. Last winter she docked at the municipal pier, Suspicion, having special rate This year k. A. c. Smith, dock com missioner. demanded regular daily wharfage, which win soon eat up the vane of the cargo and the ship as well

NO USE FOR IT IN FIVE YEARS.

NO USE FOR IT IN FIVE YEARS.
 A leading banker of Wisconsin 'vouches for the following incident. of a brewery in one of the smaller cities of the state decided to build 8 new malt house at cost of $25,000. They commissioned their president to go to Milwaukee and effect a loan. He naturally went to one of the big brewery-controlled banks of that city The vice-president to whom he applied for the loan, was formerly in the brew ing business and had made a hand some fortune in that business during the palmy days before the drys had begun to knock the big profits out of it. He very wisely got out of the busi- ness when the getting was good, not as now, when brewing stocks are all shot to pieces.
 To the utter surprise and chagrin of the out-of-town brewer he was promptly refused the loan. He ex- claimed: What's the matter? With all this fine property we got, ain't we good for $25,000?"
 Quick came the answer from the ex- brewer-banker: But what do you want to use the $25,000 for?"
 ITO build malt house, so we can enlarge our business,' said the brewer
 But, you fool, don't you know that in five years you will have no use whatever for malt house?" reDlied the banker.
