medicine man would tell you that
YOU will surely die if you do not
take DIR. Blanks nerve tonic.
The woman with a sweet tooth
would say she could not do with
out her box of candy, and the
habitual cheWer of gum would
tell YOU that chewing gum was
good for the digestion and place
that as necessity of life; while
the tea and coffee fend would
surely find life not worth the
living if the morning and even
ing draught were missing from
the menu. But be this as it
NAV. we must conclude that an
enormous amount Of money is
spent for frivolities that give us
no lasting pleasure, and do nc
permanent good.
We can never hope to get
away from habit, for we are all
creatures that do things because
we have always done them, and
even admitting that frivolity
habits give employment to z
large number of people, the arm
done is often greater than the
resultant good.
AS a rule we do not spend our
money in large amounts, but in
small sums. A certain lawyeT
who had been unable to save
any money and at forty~hv"
found himself a thriftlcss man
endeavored to analyze the reason
for his inability to get ahead
For a month he kept track oi
his spendings and found that his
money got away from him II

on every side until the sum tota
was amazing. 1t is surprising

how much our frivolity bill is
when we come to recon it up.
And if you are unable to save
money it may be because Of
wasteful habits, In fact many
people would not dare to keep
m expense account, lest the
fgures prove facts they do not
care to face
Every street railroad in the
country, every summer resort,
every soda fountain. every cigar
store and every saloon lives by
virtue Of the nickel and the dime
ooultiplicd indefinitely. But in
the multiplication of nickets
comes the millions.
The lesson we all need to learn
(and it is not an easy one) S the
art Of conserving little things
IF you doubt the facts above
stated and fear to face them in
cold figures, get a little pocket
bank and every time you arc
tempted to spend money for that
which is unnecessary. drop it ir
YOUR little bank and watch the
rcsults. They will prove in
teresting if not surprising.
