LITTLE TALKS
 ON THRIFT
By Marshall Field
] want to suceed, gave.

If you want to succeed, save,
 This is true, not so much because of the value of the money which the young man accumulates, but because of the infinitely greater value of the system and organization which tie practice of saving introduces in his life.
 This result of the saving habit is not generally nor properly appre- ciated. I consider it to be almost the greatest element tn making for a young mans success
 In the first place, it creates deter imitation.
 This is at the start. Then it de- velps steady purpose, then sustained energy.
 Soon it produces alert, discrini- hating intelligence. Better and bet ter returns follow up his industry. ability and Judgment and his capital is now steadily increasing.
 Soon he is secure-and that con- pazative1y early in life; and each day widens the gulf between him and incompetence and it's invaluable companion, improvidence.
 This is the real foundation of the structure of success. Each of it's supports, it will invariably be found, rests upon a foundation of an early dollar saved

WOMAN FACES TRIAL FOR KILLING
 AGED RECLUSE

Worcester, Mass, Dec. ] , - Mrs. Eleanor Baker, P years old, and her husband, Harry, faced trial today for the murder of Dwight P. Chapman. an aged recluse, at Westboro on June 9. One hundred taIesmen were call ed. It was expected that the jury would be selected today and Q visit made to the scene of the murder.
 Mrs. Baker is said to he the young est woman ever charged with murder in the first degree in this state. A statement by her husband, made pub lie in part by the district attorney, de- clared her innocence of Chapman's death, and is said to have alleged that Baker killed Chapman to avenge and insult upon her.
 Chapman's body, battered by a hammer or some other blunt instru- ment, was found in q shed hack of his home on the morr.r- .t June 10. Search for the Bakers, who had been 1odgers at the house. was begun at once and they were arrested at Ban gor, Maine, on June IS.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES
By F. Nj. COCHIN

Two weary hobos were travelling quietly along the broad road to somewhere" They were silent, their minds pre-occupied with visions of food of bygone days and dainty tid-bits from the '1ady's'' back door said memories passing through the devious paths of cerebral matter, slowly, to the tune of the Dead March of SauI''
 Suddenly, at the turn of the road, a huge sign loomed up along the railroad track, it's glad message arousing hope and will for better things" to those passing.
 Our Knights of the road' stopped and studied the sign with hungry curiosity.
 Say, Wastey." said one, what may w. S. S. be meanin'?"
 Huh, Shifty," scornfully came the reply, ''ain't you never had no edi- cation? That means We Soon Stop. ''
 Shifty eyed his companion with flI-concealed contempt for his knowi- edge.
 Well, then, if W. s. s. stands fey that, what does them other letters. "T. s. stand fer?"
 Cant you think with natera1 in- teIligence, Shifty? TT. S. means Feat Something

RAINBOW SUGAR
 HARMLESS S0l!Nl
 AND NOT INFERIOR

That all samples of so-called 'rain- bow sugar so far examined by the Bureau of Chemistry has been found to be coIored by harmless dyes is the statement of the United States De- partment of Agriculture. whose pure food experts began testing samples Of this product soon after It appeared on the market. Repeated inquiries com ing to the bureau from many parts of the country seem to indicate that con siderable quantities of this sugar have been supplied to grocers-
 The department states that in aC- cord with the provisions of the Food and Druga Act it will continue to ex- anime samples of this kind of product to ascertain whether or not harmful dyes are used in the future. Only col Ors konw nto be harmless have been used in the samples tested and under the Food and Drug Act their use can eb continued so long as they do not conceal inferiority. The sugar so far examined is harmless, sound, and not inferior, so that the practice of the refiners does not conflict with the pro visions of this law.
 The method employed in tinting the sugar examined is relatively simple and adds very little to the cost of the product and nothing to it's food value. Refiners state that the shortage of sugar has created an opportunity to place on the market considerable re- serve stores of this colored product which ordinarily is used only for con- fections. They deny that they have colored their stocks of white sugar in order that d higher price might be de- manded for it.

Mann's crime. In vain he assured the nation that the steak was a present from a friend, not the packing firm, and the horse an aged steed fit for nothing but cultivating a bungalow patch in the South Shore district of Chicago. MT Mann'S speak ership aspirations were doomed and Frederick Fl. GilIett of Springfield, AIassac chusetts, was chosen over the man who had led the forlorn hope for eight. years.
 So far but no farther would the caucus go. They were ordered 10 ditch Mann and elect GiIlett and did so, but when it came to selecting a floor leader they chose Frank W. Mondell of Newcastle, Wyoming, one of the Mann, or so-called "rea ction- ary'' faction. Which made the GilIett, or alleged reform victory somewhat barren.
 MT. Mann attended the opening of the special session in May, then went to Chicago and ArchiIles-like, sulked in his bungalow. The utter lnablIlty or the Glil6tt MOndelI fac tions to get together long enough to transact any real public business was soon apparent, and twice MT.

Bridgeport Man Claims Mother
 NOW We'll Agair1l
Mir. Wm. Shirley of 1776 Main Street testified several weeks ago that Cin0t had relieved
 his mother.

It was six months ago that Will liam Shirley of 1776 Main Street re- ported that CINOT had worked mir acles with his mother in her case of Rheumatism but MT. Shirley has again returned to the Hartigan Drug Store S1 Fairfield avenue where the CINOT Expert is introducing this Herbal Tonic, and now says that his mother is completely cured and that she is greatly pleased over her success and wants to extend credit where credit is due.
 Mrs. Shirley had been failing for some time and had complained re- peatedly to her son. Everything pos sible was done to relieve her of her, suffering but with no apparent sue cess She had sick headaches and bladder trouble. At nights Mrs. Shirley could not sleep at all and it began to look doubtful if Mrs Shfr- ley would be long with us She was terribly constipated and had back aches that made life a reign of 1nis- cry.
 "But,'' said MT. Shirley. "T am sure glad 10 come back the second time and tell you again what We think of CINOT and he great relief that it has given my mother. Her bIadd CT trouble is a thing of the past and at night she sleeps like a. baby. It sure is wonderful and I just can hardly believe that my mother is herself again. course the proof only is to look at her and you can see that she is rejuYenated"
 Don't spare any words in telling everyone what we think of this tonic. l want to go down on record My mother feels that there is a great assistance that she ought to perform for all sufferers as she was and wants you to use her name to tell people where to go to prove that CINOT has put her on her feet again"
 Did you ever feel that same way that Mrs Shirley felt? If you do now is the time to get relief

"From the eugenic point of view
this will be an advantage, but since
the cheap races must end by captur-
ing our trade, the privileged workers
must themselves decay. The trade
unionist probably will be allowed to

London, Feb. 28.-(Correspondence

eide, as the result of the "aristocracy
Of labor" will be the outcome of the
movement by which labor now seeks
to destroy capital, according to Dean
Inge, Of st. Paul's Cathedral, in an
address recently at meeting of the
Eugenics Education Society. Eng
lands dense population, he asserted

will revert to the quiet, rural England
of 1750, with London, Y tft of her

Neither voluntary restriction of
births, which only lowers the death

100000 lives from the separation
OF husbands and wives, in addition to
about 5000, 900 killed. But those loss

few years.

fact that the upper and middle classes
