ment by keeping in touch with daily
events and with the progress Of the
world; that by spending fifteen min
utes per day carefully Skimming the
best item from n good newspaper
and adding an hour or two per week
with a first class review magazine,
you may make yourself a keen, alert
citizen.
We know that It will help you

pure-minded people and to attend
regularly some kind Of religious ser
vices.
But more Of this character business

Of saving. When the older boys come
back perhaps they will have the better
right to the jobs. II you can then
secure a place at all, the wages will
likely be very low. But If you then
have a NEST egg"-a few hundred
saved up and drawing interest and
helping out on your small salary-yOu
will be satisfied. Otherwise, you will
be miserable. Very well, then SAVE
Take out so much per week and de-
post in a good bank. It gives a boy a
manly feeling to have a checking ae-
count.
After consulting q very reliable
business friend, plan to invest so much
per month in a safe building and saw
ings company or in some other sec
urity where It will grow. Beware Of
the scheme for getting rich quick. It
is q fraud.
If you 90 into a partnership, first
know your man. II the business is
already thriving under his manage
ment, perhaps you may trust him.
But, as a rule, let some one else try
out a new business scheme.
Now save, and get ahead while you

Young man, now is the time to lay
by some money. While the older
boys are all away and the places are
literally begging for you on every
hand, you are inclined to feel too in
dependent for one Of your years.
YOu are spending your earnings too
freely, too recklessly. But, wait till
I explain.
You are under eighteen and ought
by right to be in school where char
acter deepens and broadens more
rapidly. There you could have con-
tinued for some years to enrich your
resources for earning money, for
entering a big profession, for more
easily becoming q valuable citizen Of
the country and doing large amount
Of good in the world. Now you have
given up all that opportunity for an
advanced education, because Of the
lure Of employment and wages. Can
You make up for the loss?
But remember, some Of US who
have watched boys like you for q
quarter century know very well what
you are going up against; for ex-
ample:
We know that you will most prob
ably become q cheap and disappointed
man If you do not now learn to save
systematically a part Of your earn

We know that while money honest
ly earned and invested will make a
foundation for your future business
success, other things are required.
You must have character. Money is
q sort of blessing or curse, depending
on who possesses It.
We know'that to win out big you
must learn to curb your appetite, your
baser physical desires, and acquire
habits of decency and right living.
We know that you may stick to
your employment and at the same

OUR CASUALTY LIST
Nations Roll of Honor Not Likely to
Exceed $4,000

While, as shown by the following
list, the casualties in our oversee
forces thus far reported amount to
but 1880, It is understood that the
toll during the last few days Of the
fighting period was unusually heavy
and may increase these figures to
about 10000.
Although America deeply regrets
the loss of so many of its brave young
men, still it is a source Of gratifica-
ton that, as compared with the losses
of the other countries actively en-
gagged in the war, our casualty list is
exceedingly small.
