Purvis, colored. 132 Seaton street,
thirty-tvo years old, last night about
1875 O'Clock staggered into the sixth
precinct police station and asked that
he be taken to a hospital. Purvis was
in such weakened condition that he
was unable to make much headway In
his effort to relate the story Of how
he happened to be in so critical q con-
dition.
The police Of the sixth precinct and
members OF the detective force made an
investigation of the. affair and reported
that Purvis was slashed with knife in a
lunchroom on LIST street. A message was
sent to the several police stations direct
ing members OF the force to search for a
colored man named John Williams. who
is alleged to have done the cutting.
Purvis was taken to Casualty Hos

of salt solution. It was feared he would
die from loss of blood before the hos.
pitai was reached He did not die, how.
ever, and the salt solution had the eff.

YOUR MONEY AT WORK
Five Strong Enemies of Thrift.
By JOHN NJ. osKIsoN.

Expert students Of thrift say that these
are the five great enemies to the constant
well being OF the average family:
/. Accidents-A certain western life In.
surance company reports that in the ten
years Of Its existence 25 per cent OF the
deaths among it's policy holders have re-
suited from accidents
e Sickness-Azain quoting the same
company's report, % per cent Of the
deaths for which claims were paid re-
suited from tuberculosis, typhoid and dis
eases Of the heart. For each death due
to these sicknesses 1t is fair to say
that three victims either wholly or par
tally recovered after a more or less pro-
longed period Of disa bility. In such peri
DDS OF illness, the money-earning power
OF the victims was gone and the family
incurred heavy additional expenses
j. Permanent Total Disa billty--it is al
most the rule in an American family that
one member Is an invalid--economically a
the last bill.
T. Old Age--After the average man or
woman passes the age of sixty his or her
earning power (either as an actual
money-getter or as valua BILE worker In
the home) is practically lost The man
OF the family funless he happens to be
one OF the tiny minority who have worked
Tor pension paying corporations). The
woman ends her Gays in the shelter OF
her children's homes-a sort OF wander
ing mendicant.
5. Death--Before reaching the age of
forty-five II per cent Of the money earn
ing men OF this country die; and before
reaching the age of fifty-five. twenty out
Of every hundred are dead
II is obvious that without ma king sne-
cial provision in the way of insurance
or savings accumulations the families Of
the average man Of forty-fve who dies
are going to have hard shedding.
Now. in order to forestarl the conse-
quences Of the attacks Of these five enc
mics Of thrift the average money Garner
must set aside a respectable portion Of his
income during the years when everything
is going we'll Ten per cent is not too
much. II this percentage Is regularly
set aside and wisely invested Chaif In the
purchase of insurance and half In the ac-
cumulauon Of savings and investment
accounD. the FIVE enemies l have named
will lose most of their power to injure
the average family.
