THERE was q time when it
was necessary for q man
to look out for what was
going on behind his back.
That was back in the time when
he was a savage.
He had TO worry about what
the other savages were thinking
L1out him in order to preserve his
life from them, and he had to
keep an eye on what was going on
behind him because the wild ami
mails of the juugles and woods
were after him.
WORLD NO LONGER A JUNGLE.
You don't have to think in tnis
way any more. You don't have to
think of saving your life from the
enemies behind you nowadays.
The world Is safe to live In.
Sc with your life in your own
hands you can look ahead and
liye forward.
You don't have to think Of what
is going on behind your back once
your life is safe.
If you are doing something you
believe in-go ahead and do It
Make a plan and carry it out.
Don't waste your good time
troubling about what people are
saying about you, or whether
there are plots against you or
your work.
Don't wonder whether people
are critical of you or your achieve
ment.
If you have something TO do, It
needs all your attention. If you
turn any part of your attention to
what is going on behind your back
you take it away from your work
In hand,
Look ahead No weapons are
seeking you! And no words can
harm you.
/ know that regarding the safe
ty of ones endeavor some people
think that "forearmed is fore
warned" and that knowing the
worst is being forewarned. But !
do not agree with this. ! do not
mean that one should stand still
and stick ones head in the sand
like an ostrich.
No, / mean that if you look
ahead and carry out your life, or

Elizabeth Jordan Writes on
Putting Money By
By EIiz b eth Jord an.

He told me what bonds to buy,
safe, conservative, five per cent at
fairs-and let me pay for them on
the installment plan. Say, do you
know, it's simply fascinating to
save money. / hadn't any idea
what satisfaction it gave q fellow
to feel that he had something
ahead.
"When the Liberty bonds were
offered l bought a five hundred
dollar bond at once. I'm going to
take another in September. It's
taking all / can scrape together to
meet the payments, and it's
changed my way Of living. But
1t hasn't made me q tightwad," he
fastened to add, "And it's done
me a lot Of good to give up the
Injuries didn't need"
Your Savings Bank Account
Is Your Life Line Across the
Abyss II Disaster
There are countless men and
women who do not save a penny
Of their incomes. Sometimes, of
course, they cannot. Despite all
their effrts, their expenses run
ahead Of their incomes. This is
often the case with men whose
incomes are small and whose
families are large.
But here is something for even
such men to ponder over. When
crises come they are usually able
to meet them In one way or an
other. Unexpected expenses Of Ill
ness or death are met and paid in
time-with great effort and sacri-
nee, 1t is true. but they are met.
Similar effort and sacrifice, be-
fore the crises, would have de-
posted a little fund In the bank.
The worker could then have met
the added anguish caused by the
lack OF ready money. Think, for
example, Of what such savings
would mean to the family Of the
man who must go to the front.
1t is a great mistake to be Pc
nurious-to put money first in the
scheme Of life. 1t is as great a
mistake to be recklessly extrava-
CANT and to ignore the hazards
Of life.
Every wage Garner stands on a
plank suspended over an abyss.
The strength Of that plank is ex-
actly equal to his strength-his
health and his earning capacity.
II these break the plank breaks
and he is down; unless he has
thrown a life line across the abyss
in the form Of savings bank ac-
count which will carry him safely
over.

THE other night at q dinner
a young man I know very
- well was moved to make a
sudden confession to me.
"Do you know" he said, 81 have
actually begun to save money!
/ suppose looked surprised. In
common with all his friends, had
supposed that this young man was
extremely prosperous-that he had

times, but / didn't know him well,
SO l was surprised by his opening

"'See here he began; why don't
you save some money?

That would stop your income.

81 hadn't thought about that, so
! wasn't very quick in replying.
But ! was thinking hard enough
now. ! remembered that chaps
