of the two greatest obstacles to saving
is the fact that people are afraid to say
no. They buy clothes, food, drink, and
amusement which they really do not need,
or even want, just because they haven't
strength of character enough to resist the
latest styles or fads. l don't believe
there is a family, unless it is in the most
straitened circumstances, that could not
begin to save if only its members were
willing to cut out vanity and display.
Live well. Enjoy the comforts of life.
Have substantial food and clothing, and
a reasonable amount of amusement.
But don't buy an automobile, new din
ing-room set, or a new hat just because
your neighbor has one. Don't bug any
thing because your neighbor has 1t. The
man or woman who INDUCES in expensive
clothes and other costly habits gratifies
no one but himself or herself, because
everybody else is more interested in their
own clothes. Very little money is wasted
in this country on things that people
really want. But hundreds of millions
of dollars are wasted by people who buy
things because others have them or be-
cause they see them in the shops.

" Can you tell us any method by which
other families have been able to form the
saving habit?
THERE are so many methods by
which other families have been able
to save money that it would take q
whole book to relate them. Almost any
method that has in it an element of COM
pulsion-or, better yet, an element of
the game-will serve the purpose. The
compulsory methods are we'll known.
Most widely used is life insurance in it's
purely saving devices. Any agent will
explain about them.
The Christmas club idea has helped
many families that could not accomplish
anything otherwise. 1t has the element
of regularity and necessity, which most of
us need. Ask your local bank for details.
Countless families have been able to save
by keeping budgets. Another way is to
tax yourself on sliding scale for all ex-
penses. Place tax Of per cent. on all
expenses for necessities, 10 per cent. on
semi-luxuries, and Is percent. on out-and-
out luxuries, such as moving pictures,
candy, and soda. Put the money aside
in separate purse each night, and at
the end of year you will have saved the
equivalent of months salary.
Some families are helped by saving GER
tain small coins (ten-cent pieces, for ex-
ample, or every coin bearing a certain
date. Or you can fine members of the fam
lily for being tardy at dinner or for other
small offenses. Any number of variations
on these devices will suggest themselves.

MISSING CHINESE
 STATUE CHARM OF SUN VAT SEN?
Big Reward For Jade Image Believed Stolen From
 Revolutionary Leader.

Washington, May 29-It is reported in Washington that missing jade image of Kwannon, the Chinese God dess of Mercy for the recovery of which a S1O,0O0 reward hsz been ad- vertised is none other than the potent and mysterious ta1isman that was stol- en from pr. Sun Y ot Sen, the Chinese revolutionary, in August, 1914, at San Francisco.
 The allegiance of 100000 wor- shippers in China is said to be linked up with the possession of this parti- cular image of Kwannon, on account of it's having no known counterpart in the world.
 The story is that the fate of a revo- lution in China hangs, in the belief of many Orientals, upon the recovery of the lost image since there is no teIlingto what potent use the wrong full possessor of the jade might put the allegiance of the faithful.
 The $1O,OOO reward was advertised by Henry c. Stuart, No 2619 Wood ley Place. In his absence today his secretary, MT. Crowley, saying that no publicity is desired in the matter, would go little further than to con- firm the fact that "S.Y. S." are the

The proof of the pudding is in the eating and it is an old adage that is absolutely true. Lax-a-Tone has with stood the criticism of it's users in Bridgeport and is today the most popular remedy ever sold in this city. It is not a, cure all, but is a. scientific formula for diseases of the stomach, liver and kidneys. It is not what we say about it, but what your neighbors say. Perhaps some of them are friends of yours that have endorsed this remedy. Just ask them if it is not true about the wonderful results they received then abide by their de- ctsion. Mrs. Roland says:-
 For long time have been afflict- ed with sour acid stomach was bloat- ed and could eat nothing at all with out great distress. felt tired and weary all the time and could never seem to get rested.
