schools OF Chicago have saved s36,-
$500 in the last twenty months.
Through these children the school
savings bank system has been
brought to higher stage of develop
mcnt in Chicago than in any other
city in the country. Since the first
bank was established in April, 1914.
until December 81, 1915, accounts
have been opened by l7,726 pupils.
There are now 7,243 accounts, many
pupils having graduated. rs soon az

banks they open q personal savings
account in a local bank. They have
transferred $l5,O6l from the school
banks to regular banks in Chicago.
These pupils, it is safe to predict,
having been taught how to save, al
ways will save.
1t is difficult for those to save who
have not been in the habit Of saving.
Perhaps the best way to teach thrift
to such rs these is to induce them TO
save for some special purpose. They
thus acquire the habit of saving.
The population Of continental
United States is more than 100000
COO. If each Of these 100000, 900 would
save 10 cents a day for one year we
should have $3.650,000000. After the

Always Hold the Head High, Is Advice
Given by William MuIdoon of
World Fame.

In letter to Robert Grimshaw of
the New York university, William Null
doom, who ranks as one of the fore
most. remakers Of physically broken
down men, gives advice that it would
be well for every man and woman, boy
and girl in America to take to heart,
according to Commerce and Finance.
He says:
II was taught in early manhood not
to throw my shoulders back, stick my
chest out, draw my stomach in, or hold
my chin down like a goat preparing to
butt, but to always try and touch some
imaginary things with the crown Of
my head. If one tries to do that-tirst
understands how to try and then tries
he doesn't have to pay any attention
to the rest of his physical being; that
effort to touch something above him,
not with his forehead, but with the
crown of his head, will keep every
particle of his body in the position that
nature intended it should be. And rs
boy l was advised to frequently
back up against the wall and make
the back of my head my shoulders,
hips, heels, all press against the wall
at the same time; and in that way get
an idea of what was straight, or, in
other words, how crooked l was be-
coming by dropping"
Both to young and old Mr.. Null
doon's "hold-your-head-up" suggestion
is inspiring. Try it. The effect physc-
ally and mentally is immediate. When
the head goes higher the impulse is to
deeper breathing. A man finds more
elasticity in his limbs, He steps out
with more ease. There is more spring
to his gait. He isn't a numbering, sham
bling creature, but a man alive. With
the elevation of the crown of the head
there seems to come clearer thinking,
more buoyant feeling and a brighter
outlook

MONEY CAN'T MAKE A GARDEN
BY ELIZABETH VAN eENTHUYsEN


If one had all of the money in the
world and no artistic or practical ideas
to go with it, he could not produce
a garden worth while. | am struck
with this fact while looking at some of
the new landscape work at the rich es.
tates that make the Eastern coast q
fairyland.
The accompanying illustration will
show a case in point. Here is n garden
where money enough has been spent
to buy farm. Yet the figures are
stiff and grouped with about as much
art as the man used who first put fig
ures in a multiplication table. Regu.
lar, stiff and awkward, the costly bits
of work are placed just like so many
pawns on a chessbOard
That is just what one does not want
Better take a handful of natural rocks
and a barrel of moss and ferns and
mix the combination with a sense Of
arrangement than to waste thousands

up to pity the poverty of the mind
which cannot do with much what thou
sands actually accomplish with little

A DOG" FOR THE GARDEN
BY LIMA &. ROSE.

When theatrical manager has II
new play, long before he brings it TO
the chief city where it is to be pro-
duced, he tries it on the dog That
means that he takes the production to
some small place and lets the actors
see what effect the play has upon real
people. If II works In the little place,
the manager brings it to the big city.
Maybe he finds some defects that the
little town made evident and they are
corrected.
The same idea is fine one for low
ers Of the garden. Make a trial gar
den. Pick out some little spot which
has intensified soil and the best con
ditions. If you intend going in for
any particular culture, try little of II
in the trial patch. Maybe the triai
will show just how to make correc-
tions which will avoid a heartache in
the larger planting. A little time
spent in testing the possibilities Of
a flower or n plant before making any
extensive investment is always good.
The climatic and soil conditions are
not the same in any two sections.
The greatest expert on big cannon
in the United States was recently
asked if he could not tell by figures

No" he said, II want it to come

That theory Is a fine one to use in
matters of the garden. An ounce Of
real experience is worth a ton Of the
ory-and, besides, it increases the JOY
of having actual knowledge of the
wonderful things that sun, air and soil
will do with seeds and plants.

CABBAGES AND A KING
By ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYsEr

1y ELlGNGEi y VAN . DElN ~ S-'N
When the Walrus, in the time-bon-
ored verse, called attention TO the fact
that the time had come to speak of
| cDbbageS and kings, the beast &c not
have any idea that the time would
come When there would be any actual
relationship between the tWn. Naw
| Kings have come 20 know the value Of
the cabbage while the value of the
king mas taken somewhat of a slump
IN the opposite direction.
This story deals with an oil Kiag
and u cabbage crop. Midas, with his
fund Of gold; Croesus, long mentioned
rs Il marvel Of money, and the other
owners of large kingly chests were
but ordinary pikers compared to John
ID. Rockefeller He has in one vault
In the basement. of the produce eX-
change in New York more hidden
wealth than ali OF the Old kings put
together.
Yet he has lively interest in rails
ing cabbages.
His interest in this direction is valu-
able to all Of the persons in the coun-
try who have garden plots because it
Is a lesson in the economy of space,
and 4 tip from the richest man in the
world as to the value Of using every
spare spot for raising something from
the soil
What he sees in New York is equally
possible on the most remote hillside IN
America, aid it is for this reason
that | am showing you a picture Of
the Oil Kings abbage patch and tell-
ing you how the man with the greatest
store of wealth Tisely refuses to let
chance to raise even tiny crop be
wasted.
When l say cabsages, do not mean
that the patch is confined to this one
thing 1t is only ole of many. All
of the garden products that can be
used in a tiny space are utilized, and
around the edges, to work in a little
art along with utility, there are flow
ers.
The Rockefeller cabbage patch is
located IN the yard of the world-fa-
nous Rockefeller institute at Sixty
sixth street and the Cast river New
York city. It is in this remarkable
institution that the wise men of sci
ence try germs on hlOnkeys and dogs
so that they can learn how to save
the lives of babies and grOwnups. Many
of the greatest discoveries of science
have been made in the big building.
But when the master of the millions
came along hg saw something beside
the germs and the mysterious re-
searches of science in the vicinity. 1t
occurred to him that the germs had
nothing to do with the yard about the
place, and that no amount Of bacilli
could interfere with putting the open
grOuhd to some use.
So lie ordered that the women and
children in the cOngested, poor neigh
borhOod be given a chance to raise
vegetables on the unused yard. The or
der brought about a transformation.
Now on any day one may see the
woman with the hoe at work on the
garden that fringes the skirts of
great learning. She is not bowed by
the weight of centuries like Edward
Markham's famous Man With the
Hoe" She is happy in the chance
to make better table for her little
