THE MULTIPLYING DOLLAR.
Money Now, While It Is Cheap, Will Return Manifold, h Wisely
 Invested.

One of the best arguments for tho investment of money in good securi- ties at this time is the point-the full value of the dollar invested. A dollar is worth what you can get for it.
 A dollar now isn't worth much be- cause you cent get much for 1t. It Is today worth In purchasing power 50 cents as compared with Ave years ago. That dollar will In five years get back tq ts one hundred cents.
 If 'aollar Is invested now, when 1t natures it will be worth twice az much, Or $2, hence why would nor s420 invested this month. have, in five years from now, almost double purchasing power. in addition to what ever interest may be earned between now and that time?
 The above line of argument will ap- peal to a lot of people. especially those who are very careful with their say ings.
 If man has any debts to pay. nov is a good time to pay, because they can be paid with cheap dollars. bur 1t is a poor time to contract debts If they mature in four or five years, be cause debts will have then to be paid with dollars which are worth more in purchasing power than at present.
 Of all times for investment, the pres ant is the best because of the above tacts.

REMEDY IN THE PEOPLES HANDS

The New York Tribune says: "The testimony of the merchant is that de, spite high prices the American people are spending money on a much larger scale and for more expensive articles than ever before. The old restrainte seem to be thrown aside and money is appreciated only as means to in dulge in some new extravagance. The remedy for the high prices lies in the hands of the people and it is thrift"
