n steady job can save money. Any
body that can save money can make
a success Of life. Not because hav-
ing money will Of itself make them
happy. but because having the things
that money will buy will add to their
comfort and pleasure, and because
the correct living that goes with saw
ing money will build character and
broaden outlook.
But having saved IL. the question
Of keeping IL IL the one to which the
average American seems to fail to
find the answer. Before the war,
Confidence men," promoters Of UNI
sound companies. and vendors 81
worthless stocks took annual tribute
TO the extent Of some $500. 200. 900.
Since the sum has been largely in.
creased through the willingness Of
owners Of Liberty Bonds and War
Savings Stamps to trade them fos
speculative stocks. the majority Of
which proved worthless.
IL was seven lean kline which ate
up the seven fat kline in Pharaoh's
dream. the dream which Joseph cor
rectly interpreted as meaning that
seven hard years were going to con
sumo all the savings Of seven pros
porous years. The lean kline which /
eat up American savings seem TO be 4
ten In number. In other words,
while 80 men have accumulated mod
crate means az the age Of thirty
ten years later only three have any
thing but their daily earnings.
What becomes Of the fortunes,
large or small. Of the 81 during
those ten years? Unpreventable mis-
fortunes account probably for a very
small percentage Of the loss. Ex-
carelessness. and foolish
investments" take the larger share.
The reason for the bulk Of the
losses is explained simply by Albert
W. Atwood. the wcll-known financial
writer. in his "Putnam's Investment
He says:
THE average man does not take
as much trouble TO
invest his money so IT will work for
him as he does to earn that money"
And again: I'VE all know men who
overtake themselves into nervous
breakdowns for very moderate sal
airy. and who do not give twenty
a week to details Of saving
a portion Of their salary"
The safeguard. obviously. against
the danger Of the "treacherous ten
years" is safe investment. Before
the war. the most expert knowledge
was required TO choose an investment
which guaranteed safety; the war
has brought a development Of enor-
nous importance TO the man Of small

Farm land values are indicative OF

vate at the price. unless il is bough,
entirely for speculation. Most Of
the farms are bought for farmers to
live on. and when they pay the pre-
vailing high prices, il is in conf
dence that they are buying some
thing which wsl yield them a fair
return for their money
Right now farmers in this coun-
~ are rather discouraged BECAUSE
they have lost money in the last six
or eight months on cattle and hogs.
and because they had such "a poor
crop year last season. This discour-
agement. however. has not caused a
decrease in farm land values. In
fact. there has been steady in.
crease in values during the last
twelve months, and no tendency
anywhere for a decline in prices.
We take Il from this that farmers
are only temporarily in the dumps for

the bow vows" they would not
be buying lands at the inflated
prices. As long as lands remain
high We may count upon il as an
evidence Of prosperity among the
agricultural classes. just as surely
as We can count on an abundance
Of money when the deposits Of the
banks are at high tide.

Of Florida has thrown the responsible
ity on the different counties, in an
Act oauthorize the counties to es-
tablish and maintain tuberculosis hos
pitals." This act is specific In its pro-
visions as to how provision is to be
made for them, by the ordering of just
such elections as that now asked for;
and is likewise specific IN regard to
their administration once they are es-
tablished.
There is not a home nor an indi-
vidual not menaced by tuberculosis.
And the worst of it is none is likely
to be conscious of the menace.
The fact that we have become indif-
ferent to the danger to ourselves does
not make it less dangerous. especially
to our children.
Many experiments have been tried
for combating this plague, but after
all there is one fundamental fact No
case can be treated unless the essen
tials for the treatment are at hand.
These are rest, wholesome nourish-
ment and proper living place.
This the rich and well to do. can
furnish for themselves; the poor can
not. Their struggle is to keep going
and, If possible, hide the fact that they
are sick; lest they lose their employ
ment. Our present plan necessitates
the concealment of the disease that
through its concealment condemns so
many.
This is matter of self protection
not charity. It is humanity, but a
humanity that Is dictated by our own
self interest.
