One DoIiard Saved Represents Ten
 Dollar; Eearned

Dollar; Eearned The average man does not save to exceed ten per cent of his earnings. He must spend nine dollars in living expenses for every dollar saved. That being the case he can not be too careful about unnecessary eX- penses. Very often few cents pro- perly invested, like buying seeds for his garden, will save several dollars outlay later on. It is the same in buying Chamberlain Collie and Diar- rhoea Remedy. It costs but few cents and bottle of it in the house often saves a doctors bill of several dollars.

II appeared that Maud had quarreled with her mother, Mrs. J. HiXson, se- cured a gun, threatened to kill her self, and left the house presumably to carry out the threat, deputy sher ifs spent several hours Investigating. This morning they decided to empty the canal and search for her body while the Phoenix Pathological lab oratory occupied itself with the flare well' letter to ascertain whether the stains on the letter were really blood. It was suspected that Maud was staging her demise.''
 She did. so let her tell about it.
 T left home about 9:30 yesterday morning headed for the Arizona canal about a quarter of a mile from my home. My nose bled on the way, so I thought it would be quite stunt to let the blood run over the note I had prepared. This I thought, would make the bluff more effective. Father had fixed the gun so I could not work it, so he thought, but I took hair pin and picked out the cotton between the hammer and the shell. and shot once into the water.
 Then Dplaced the note and the gun on the bank of the canal, plunged into the water and reached the other side ill safety. I ran about 200 yards north and hid in some bushes, I got awful thirsty and hungry so decided I had better go back home and mo- ther. lam sorry and don't think will try stunt like this again. So Maud is forgiven and everybody concerned is restored to status quo that is all except the deputies who perspired in the hot sun and stayed up late trying to puzzle out the mys tery
