Getting the Habit of Thrift.

A writer in an exchange tells us
that, in a western city, by depositing
a small weekly or monthly saving,
twelve thousand persons accumu-
lated fund of S275,000 for Christ
mas purposes. The depositing of
a few cents week or month, when
wage is received, will cultivate a
habit of thrift, and an economical
handling of money even in those not
naturally frugal. The first few
times, the denial necessary for the
purpose may be something of a
strain; but the small sums will
hardly be missed during the year;
the fact that the money is "piling
up" will soon become interesting,
and in every case, the amount ac-
cumulated at the end of a given
time will be pleasant surprise.
We are told that it is the first dollar
or hundred dollars that is the hard
est to save; after that, the saving
is easier, because of the growing
habit of thrift. Waste, extrava-
gance and excesses are too prevalent
and want. is always sure to follow
in their footsteps, The fact that
we have a small bank account
stiffens our backbone, and gives a
self-respect that nothing else can
do, when the money has been saved
through thrifty habits. Children
should be taught that waste is
criminal, and careful saving should
be insisted upon. Too many
people are ''leaners, and leaner
is generally an object of contempt,
lacking the respect of others, and
woefully deficit in respect of self.
Begin the new year by putting aside
a few cents from each dollar earn
ed, and as fast as the cents become
a dollar, put it into savings bank
leaving it there to grow, while you
add other dollars to the first.

The Habit OF Taking Cold.

With many people taking cold is
a habit, but fortunately one that is
easily broken. Take a cold sponge
bath every morning when you first
get out of bed-not ice cold, but a
temperature of about 80 degrees F..
Also sleep with your window up.
Do this and you will seldom take
cold. When you do take cold take
Chamberlain Cough Remedy and
get rid of it as quickly as possible.
Obtainable everywhere.

War unnn Pain.

Pain is visitor to every home and
usually it comes quite unexpectedly.
But you are prepared for every emer-
gency if you keep a small bottle of
Sloan's Liniment handy. 1t is the
greatest pain killer ever discovered.
Simply laid on the skin-no rubbing
required-it drives the pain away. 1t
is really wonderful.

THE IRON MAIDEN.
Her Dread Embrace Meant Cruel and
Certain Death.


Her Dread Embrace Meant Cruel and
Certain Death.
In an ancient tower at Nuremberg a
strange figure is shown to visitors. 1t
is called the Eiserne Jungfrau Qron
Maiden) because it looks like woman
dressed in rusty iron. At about the
waist are two handles by means Of
which the front Of the figure is opened
on hinges, like two doors, from the
chin down, leaving the face unsep-
arated.
The heavy and massive doors bristle
inside with spikes as sharp as dag
gers, about twenty Of which point in
ward toward the chest and two OF
which, longer than the others, are fixed
inside the face behind the eyes.
The Eiserne Jungfrau was an instru-
ment Of execution reserved for shame
less women. When one Of these was
condemned to death she was placed in
side the figure, and the doors were
closed. This forced the spikes into her
vital organs and through her eyes into
her brain. Death was quick or slow,
according to the speed with which the
doors were closed.
The base of the figure is trapdoor-
When the doors were opened and the
victim freed from the spikes the trap
door was sprung and her body dropped
through a deep hole into torrent that
still flows under the castle. A tip OF
few pfennigs will have the hole lighted
with electric lamps, and the visitor can
look down and see the dark water,
thus completing the tragedy In his I'M
agitation. York World.

The Burden OF Preparedness.

The Burden Of preparedness.
An immense military burden is
to be fastened onto theebacks of the
American people, if the jingo muni-
tion interests can scare them into
it. The din of their noisy clamor
for preparedness is being heard
in every part Of the United States.
Any kind of preparedness is ac
ceptable, whether the present war
shall prove it right or wrong, SO
that it leads to embarking the
United States on a course that in.
evitably will insure the spending
of huge sums for armament. The
most modest amount the .jingoes
have yet mentioned for such yearly
expenditure, is 45O million dollars,
a sum equal to the entire savings
of all the people in fifteen states of
the Union. At least hadn't we
better wait few months that we
may know better what we should
prepare Tor and how we should
prepare for it, instead of being
stampeded into some colossally ex
pensive follyg- Oklahoma Farmer.

Artem Fataeff wants job.
E. E. Brooks, manager of the Asso.
ciated Charities, says he deserves one
and is capable of doing almost any
sort of light labor, that he is man
who can be trusted
"Fataeff came to me for work. He
doesn't want charity He wants a
chance to earn a living" says Brooks.
Wont you ask the people of Homo
lulu If they can't find a place for
him."
Fataeff came to Honolulu seven
years ago from Russia. He is single
man and got along very well un:,l
he fell down an elevator shaft aud
hurt his arm. Since then he has been
unable to do heavy labor, although
his arm is apparently in perfect con-
dition for Hghter activities.
The Immigration Board can't take
care of him. He has been here too
long," says Brooks. "The sugar plant
ers did not bring him here and he
has never worked for them, SO they
can do nothing for him"
Telephone to Mr.. Brooks, 2253, if
you know of anything Fataeff can do.

ONLY A MOUSE IN THE CREAM
The Butter Tasted Just as Good to
the Woman, and She Didn't
Recognize II.

Some years ago, when Thomas L.
Calvert, chief inspector of the Ohio
dairy and food department, was run
ming a general store in a country
town, a woman came into the store
with small quantity Of butter which
she wanted to sell.
1--WE made this for our own use,
but we found that a mouse had run
through the cream, so we decided to
sell it," she said. You know, it will
make no difference just so the per.
son who eats the butter does not know
that the mouse was in the cream"
she added.
Mr.. Calvert bought the butter, pad
died it into a different shape and put
it away in a cool place in the rear of
the store. Two days later the woman
came back to the store to buy some
butter. Mr.. Calvert sold her the but
ter he had bought from her. He had
bought it for that very reason, intend
ing to teach the woman lesson. The
next time the woman came to the store
she told Mr.. Calvert that the butter he
had sold her was of fine quality, and
she asked where he got it.
1T was what you sold me; YOU
know, you ssaid thatsit would make
no difference If no one knew that the
mouse ran through the cream" Mr..
Calvert said. Columbus (OD Dispatch.

Air We Breathe,

Secondhand air is far worse than a
secondhand toothbrush, yet many per,
sons who would be Mortified at the
use of the latter are willing to inhale
the air exhaled from other peoples
lungs.
The importance of good ventilation,
where several people are sitting, can.
not be Over-emphasized. In prevail
ing air, remember that If two gas Jets
are burning they are consuming as
much good air as four persons, and
one kerosene lamp consumes the same
amount. A lamp left with the flame
turned down adds very much to the
impurity of the air because of imper.
feet combustion. If you use a gas
droplight and will remove the tubing
Tor a test, you readily see from the
odor Of gas which escapes how neces-
sary it is to take it down frequently
and air it.
