ley. II you've never had to earn
money, it's hard to economic on 1t,
for you must appreciate the value Of
a thing to use it judiciously-eco-
nomically.
I'll suppose that you have worked
hard for what you have and realize
how easy 1t is to spend and how hard
to get.
Laxity in money matters can be
overcome only by continually crlli-l
cising your expenditures
Learn economy in your personal
affairs. A good plan by which to
cultivate personal economy is to d.
vide your income into several parts,
one Of which must be a savings ac-
count.
Allow yourself 80 much for car
fares, SO much for lunch,' so much for
amusements, and so on until all your
salary is accounted for. Then keep
each item of expenditure within its
prescribed limit.
Suppose you do not spend your full
allowance on cigars, let us say---save
the unsDent fund. II you spend It on
something else you have not saved It.
It is a good idea to put these small
savings into an emergency, account
in the bank to be used only in sick
ness or as q last extremity.
Systematize your spending, for 1t
is the careless spending OF a dollar
Or two sios ::..1 :. ;viiar 0r Two tiIere
which makes all the difference be-
tween getting ahead, or getting into
debt.
Nothing stiftens q mans moral
backbone so much as a knowledge Of
a few hundred dollars In the bank.
He feels independent. He works bet
ter and happier on that account. He
realizes that money works twenty
four hours Of the day. while he only
works eight or ten hours. Che can
work twelve to fourteen hours II he
wishes. It won't hurt hini.5 55FF ~ "

Press Comment
RESULTS OF PROHIBITION.


Other reasons may be given for the
condition. but 1t is very noticeable that
jail prisoners in Union county, since
the advent of prohibition, are only
about one-third as many In number
as In the days when intoxicants flowed
freely. The Union county freeholders
ARE relieved Of the burden of enlarging
quarters at the county Jail farm. and
may be obliged to consider abandoning
that institution, as Morris county has
done, because of q lack Of jail inmates
to work II.
The Salem county jail. 1t is reported,
has twice been empty in recent weeks.
/ The Cumberland county Jail Is re-
ported to house only a few prisoners.
THE same kind OF a report comes from
Gloucester county, In fact. the number
of Jail inmates has SO decreased that
the freeholders are contemplating re-
moving the prisoners to the upper
jfloor and utilizing the lower floor for
additional room for county officers.
While prohibition is not likely to
have any particular effect upon the
man who Is q criminal at heart, ex-
cept. perhaps, to remove some of the
~crtminality and d~egenracy, 1t cannot
fail to reduce poverty IL such Of
fences Is have been directly produce
ed by the free use of intoxicants.
There Is probably no doubt about 1t
that the people of New Jersey, In every
part OF the State, are already finding
out that prohibition enforced yields
beneficial results. The best effects
from 1t, however. will not be had until
the faint OF alcohol is eliminated from
the social system of the State. The
best results. will come, in other words,
when New Jersey Is completely rid of
the poison.-Elizabeth Daily Journal.
