A Christmas Gift of Life or
Pleasure, Which :?

In war countries millions of chill
dren are dying of cold and starva-
ton. Won't you contribute what
you would spend foolishly on Christ
mas gifts to these starving children?
Suppose one of them were your
child. Ten cents will give starv-
ing child one days life, $500 one
months life and $35 90 one years
life. Over half million American
boys and girls are working and sac
rificing month by month to help;
why not you? A donation to the
fund means life to the little o1es, an
exchange of Christmas gifts with
your friends only temporary pleas
ure. Which will you do?
Address your remittance at once
to Children of Americas Army of
Relief, 142 BerkIey street, Boston,
Mass. God will bless you.
This advertisement is inserted
free as Christmas Gift to the starv-
ing chileren. The organization is
thoroughly reliable, having on its
board national characters You need
not be afraid to trust your money to
them.-Ed- tor

invited to become members, for it is
a well-knoWn fact that the saving
habit needs to be fostered in this
country Once the youthful mind
realizes how really easy it is to save
and how pleasant it is to have money
in bank, tie saving habit will be-
come life long.
A large number of people, whether
their incomes are large or small find
it difficult to get ahead financially.
They postpone the time when they
will Start saving to provide for the
rainy day because they never seem
to have enough spare money to start
bank account. The Christmas Cub
is a great benefit to the people in
this way, for they don't Iced any
more capital to get started than the
first small payment, and. after all,
the start is the important thing,
Although the first Club payment
is due December "a, members may
Join before that time bv paying I'D
advance. The Club runs fifty weeks,
so that each member will receive a
check in time for Christmas shop
ping. When payments are made
regularly the bank allows interest
on the account, which is always an
announcement to saving.
A number of plans are offered and
members may select one or more
of them. In the uniform classes one
may pay Csc, soc, $1.OO or 81 w
weekly, the totals amounting respect
lively to $3.50, $500, 5000 and
$4,000. Another way is what Is
known as the progressive class, IN
which the payment increases eV0ly

progressive Club natures at $40 5U'
Then there is Sc progressive Cluo
maturing at S63 rs These progres.
siveClubs may be reversed, starting
at the highest amount first and I'M
ishing with the lowest. The &c re,
ducing class starts at So SO and
works down to Sc while the &c starts
at $1.OO and comes down to zc as
the last payment.
Ordinary books are not needed III
