Avoid Diphtheria

A sore throat is a good breeding place
for Diphtheria germs. Protect your chill
dren by never neglecting a Sore Throat.
You can wisely depend upon TONSI-
LINE. Give Tonsiline upon the first ap-
pearance of Sore Throat don't give
Diphtheria chance in that throat in its
weakened condition. When TONSI.
LINE is swallowed it comes directly in
contact with the diseased surface ~
and induces a healthy condition tx
of the membranes-then the sys-
tenn can better defend the throat ID
if attacked by Diphtheria germs.

THRIFT GREAT
AMERICAN NEED
Statistics Show Few Provide
Against Adversely.
BY s. w. sTRAUs.

President American Society for Thrift.
A number of Investigations have been
made in America at various times, dur
Ing the last half century, each Of which
number of persons are dependent on their
daily work for all or a considerable
part of their means of livelihood.
These statistics, while varying to a
small degree, tell the same general story
Of an appalling percentage of persons
who, up to TIE time Of their death, failed
to accumulate more than a very modest
sum. They bring home with solemn en-
phasis the necessity of thrift as pro-
lection against adversely
If present general conditions are to be
judged by those found in various parts
of the country at different periods dur
the the last fifty years, from so to 80
per cent Of our people leave no estates
at the time Of their death and only a
comparatively small additional number
leave accumulations of any appreciate
amount.
animation of court records In a large
Eastern city, displayed that 50 per cent
of the adults who died during the period
under investigation left no estates at all ;
that more than % per cent left less than
$1,000 and that more than % per cent
left less than $4,000.
Another investigation revealed that at
the time and place of the inquiry only
8 per cent of all persons 6J were indie
pendent or self sustaining.
While statistics of this nature are
necessarily incomplete, the fact cannot be
overlooked that every careful inquiry Of
the kind has revealed that a large Per
centage Of our people are wholly or al,
most entirely dependent on wages or
salaries for their livelihood md that If
they suddenly lost their positions and
were not able to find another In short
time their condition would be deplorable.
The lesson to be learned from these
grave facts is obvious. No one can tell
what the future will bring. No one
can afford 10 take chances.
The man who fails to save for the days
OF possible adversely is false to his
own best interests and faithless In his
obligations to those dependent upon aim.
