The Habit Of Savipo.

The United States is thriftier than 4,
is commonly given credit for being be-
cause statistics most frequently quoted
do not give all savings deposits and be-
cause a vast deal of savings goes on
outside Of savings institutions. Yet II
does not live up to its opportunities by
long way. One of the country's
ablest business men said not long ago
that any one could tell whether he was
going to succeed or fail by his ability
to save. II he could not save he cohld
not succeed. At any rate, inability to
save for a man with an income above
the bread line and no unusual Iii luck
implies a lack of self control that is
not conducive to success.
Like nearly everything else. it is a
matter of habit, and with a little de-
termination TO begin with the right
habit is as easily formed as the wrong
one. Try it.-Saturday Evening Post

! It is well known that shopkeepers
make pounds by ignoring farthings or
by giving something fo- them that is
worth far less than a flrthlng, but
where shopkeepers make the pounds
banks and the English government
make their hundreds of pounds. II a
farthing Is due from you in taxes you
are charged onepence. On the other
hand, you are never paid onepence for

The same principle is applied to frac-

Of IL a full pound, whereas in reckon

left out of account. Thus for de-

The typical household operates on
the hit or miss rule of thumb Effec-
tiveness is secured either through hap
py chance or the coincidence Of that
rule with some sound principle.
Why Is the stove In the kitchen kept
black? The United States bureau Of
standards asserts that not one woman
In ten knows. 1t says that the reason
Is that blackened stove is the hottest

reau. A bright pipe loses less heat
than one insulated in thin asbestos.
Pans and pots kept bright stay hot
longer than those not so. An ideal
kettle is black on the bottom to take
heat easily and bright on the sides to
keep heat long.
Fuels are too frequently used with
out understanding of their special f1t-
nesses for specific purposes. A coal
fire takes half an hour of coaxing TO

Many furnaces work better on small
