THE BEST START IN LIFE

Way back into the beginning of time you've had ancestors.
Thousands of persons now long dead and gone are your direct rela-
tives-so direct that had they not lived and given children to the
world YOU would not be here today.
All of these fos6sassr with the possible exception of the three or
lffSourree re- recent ones, have done one thing and only one thing for
you-they'v We made it possible for you to be alive today. Their blood
is in your veins and their characteristics, the scientists say, influence
your life. But so far as making life easier for you through bequeath-
ing you their savings, they haven't done it. Unless you are one of a
yer small group, not a single dollar of the money that is yours today
was saved by anyone farther back along your ancestral tree that your
great grandfather!
Thrift, saving, the accumulation of money have been habits of
mankind since Biblical days and long before. But most of the for
tunes Of today were made by men who lived and died only yesterday
when time is reckoned by the innumerable days man has been ON the
earth. Judging by the worlds experience It's impossible for any man
to 10 conserve his savings and hedge them about by laws as to keep
them intact for his children and his childrens children for more than
a comparatively few years. 1t is not in the scheme of things that any
man should perpetuate his fortune for long.
But it is in the scheme of things that every man should give his
children the best start possible in life. 1t is up to all of us to save
not for the purpose of amassing a huge fortune to be rs a memorial
to our ashes for aeons to come-for history proves it is impossible to
do this-but simply and solely to give our children the start in the
battle of life that they deserve.

Sympathy.

The greasy-whiskered man who was
going from door to door passing out
circulars advertising a Bolshevik-So
cialist meeting rang the doorbell of a
house that sat back in a yard. The
whiskered man was so mad he was
spluttering.
"You!" he yelled. when the owner
of the house opened the door. You
keep four mad dogs by your yard.
They have bite me. They have bite
me 20 times.
Twenty times?" said the house
holder. Huh That would mean five
bites for each dog. Well, I hope thai
you didn't short-change any of the
dogs. I believe in equal division and
I'd hate to think that any one of thu
dogs got less than his five bites"

American soldier is known as a
"doughboy." We have asked a lot
OF experts. and we get these replies:
because 1t took a lot of dough to

Because they made well bread

Because Baker kneaded them"
Our definition Is as follows:
Because they are the flower Of the
