THE VALUE OF SAVING

"Habit is a cable; we weave a
thread of it every day and at last
We cannot break it," Saving is a
habit. Each penny that we save Is
thread woven into the habit cable
of saving.
A grown person always finds
that some ready cash comes IN
handy and if he owns bank-book
that tells him of the money he has.
L makes him feel more independ-
ent. The sooner a person begins TO
save, the more money there will be
WREN he is grown.
In another way, saving is valu-
able. A person who saves does not
spend money on foolish things which
will harm him physically and men
tally.
A boy or girl needs to know
about saving because it is when we
are young that good or bad habits
are formed most easily and if we
cannot resist the temptation 10
spend all we earn when we are old
er we may know it is because we
di6 not resist the temptation when
we were young.

Children's Teeth Neglected

A recent investigation made by
the u S. Public Health Service in
connection with studies Of rural
sch DOL children showed that 1913
per cent had defective teeth, 21.1
per cent had two or more missing
teeth. and only 16.9 per cent had
had dental attention. Over IA per
cent never used a tooth brush, 58.2
per cent used one occasionally and
only 27.4 per cent used one daily.
Defective teeth reduce physical ef-
ficiency. Dirty, suppurating, snag-
gle-toothed mouths are responsible
for many cases of heart disease,
rheumatism, and other chronic af-
fections. The children are not re-
sponsible for the neglected state Of
their teeth. The ignorant and care
less parent is to blame for this con-
dition--a condition which hampers
mental and physical growth and
puts permanent handicap on our
future citizens. School teachers
can and are doing much in inculcat-
ing habits of personal cleanliness
on the rural school child but this
will fail of the highest accomplish
ment unless parents cooperate
heartily and continuously.

the stipulation that 1t should be allow

the sons and grandsons. When they
were all dead the fortune was to 20

If there should be no great-grandson
it should go to the government and be
applied on the national debt. The will
was contested, but the heirs were un.
able to break it. The last grandson
died in 1850, and the fortune was de.
livered to Charles Thelussen, the old.
est living great-grandson. At the time
the will was made experts figured out
that the fortune would amount to
something like 100000 by the time
1t should be turned over to the great
grandson, but the expenses of lltiga.

great that he received only about the

Sulnhurio Acid Burns.

Burns from sulphuric acid are easily
cured. Just remember that plain wa
ter-lots Of it-must be poured on the
victim Of sulphuric acid accident al
once, even to throwing the party into
the water If possible. This acid on
the skin feels like fire. With water
quickly applied in great quantity this
acid is rendered harmless. Men have
been burned with 1t repeatedly with.
out harm through a knowledge of this
proper antidote. If not treated prompt
ly the most horrible disfgurements re-
suit. The police department of Paris
exhibits wax figures of faces of VIC
tins of the foreign practice of throw
ing this acid In ones face. A prompt
treatment Of water would have rem
dered the acid harmless.
