PRESERVE GL0RIES OF ROME
to the Greatness of Old Rul-
ers of the World.

Builders Of ancient Rome knew a
lot about concrete, and used it extern
sively in civic and private undertake
ings. 1t was well that they knew so
much about this building material and
were so generous in the use of it. Had
they used less durable substance In
the building or the monumental struc-
lures that were features of Rome the
remains of these great projects would
not be dotting all, southern Europe,
serving to emphasize the advance
ment of the people who lived for GEN.
turtles in these parts before the COM
ing of Christ.
The discovery of cement by these
early people was fortunate, for other
wise nothing much would have been
known about this wonderful race.
They would have been obliterated and
nothing Of their history, intelligence,
character or enterprise would have
come down through the years to pos
terity. They told their story on slabs
of cement and built their homes, their
So'Cf AlHChC buIlUlllSS, NdlcINOIhS
and the like Of concrete, which has
resisted the wear of thousands of
years.
Slabs almost as perfect as when
made have been discovered by arch
eologists who have deciphered the
chiseled characters which tell many
wonderful stories about this race.
The ruins of the buildings they erect
ed are among the great sights of the
world and are continually furnishing
Investigators, students of the Roman
period, with new sources Of research
into this really wonderful era in the
progress Of the world.

|. Charles Drummond was reared on
farm in Mississippi Valley state.
1t was good farm in a dairy section
where most of the farmers were ac-
cumulating fat bank accounts.
Became a Fortune Hunter.
Being an only child, Drummond in
herited the farm when his parents
passed over to join the majority and,
being convinced there were easier
ways Of making a living than by farm
ing, he sold his property and moved
to the state metropolis.
Edward Bardwell, also an only
child, was reared on an adjoining
farm. Same kind Of farm; same kind
of soil; same sunshine, rain, markets
and opportunities to earn and save
profits.
This Man Played Safe and Won.
BardWell liked the out-of-dOOrs
life Of the farm; he liked animals;
he liked the assurance that his cellar
would always be stored with food and
that a shortage would have no ter
rors for his family even if strikes and
business depressions did rasp the
nerves Of city dWellers he liked his
fine team Of driving horses, his bank
account, and his independence.
All this was in the last quarter of
the nineteenth century.
A few years later, when the two
men had arrived at late middle life
Bardwell was still a farmer-from
choice. His roadsters had retired in
favor of an auto; his farmhouse was
fitted with all modern conveniences !;
he had served as a member of the
county board and the state legisla-
ture. Like the "Village Blacksmith"
he could look the whole world in the
face, "fOr he owed not any man"
This Man Chased Rainbows and Lost.
At the same time Charles Drum
mond, his bank account and inheri-
lance gone, was trying to sell blue
sky stock with the hope of making a
fortune. He was offering, among 9th
er issues, the stock of a corporation
that proposed to dig gold and dia-
monds out of the bed of the Amazon
river in Brazil with a steam shovel.
So confident were the officers of this
company that they would make fabu-
lous profits they stipulated to return
the full cost of the stock within six
months and pay big dividends regu-
larly thereafter.
This story merely illustrates the
fact that there are several kinds of
spenders, and the greatest Of these
is the rainbow chaser. There was alb
solute assurance of prosperity and
plenty on the farm. There was
pot of fairy gold at the rainbow's
end

SAVINGS CLUB ON BOOM
DoIIar-a -Week Plan for Buying
Uncle Sans Securities
Gains Big HeadWay.

The Dollar-a-Week Government Saw
ings club has become the most univer-
sal organization in the United States.
It's members range from Maine to Cali
fornia and every day brings new
strength to it. The Seventh Federal
Reserve district was one of the first
of the twelve Federal Reserve districts
to get off to a flying start in the or
ganization of Dollar-a- Week clubs, and
now it ranks high in the list of dis
tricts.
The Dollar-a- Week club is taking
firm root in industrial plants and
stores. Workers group themselves to-
gether and make regular purchases
every week Of the new 81 Treasury
Savings Stamps. Membership require
ment in club calls only for the pur-
chase of one Of the stamps every week
Four of these 81 Stamps, with few
additional cents, can be exchanged for
a So Government Savings Stamp, or
twenty of them for a $25 Treasury
Savings Certificate, which bears the
rate Of per cent interest compound
ed quarterly, if held till maturity
These $50 Certificates are short-term,
rock-bound, absolutely safe, virtually
tax-free, easily redeemable in case of
need. and they never depreciate, but
always are worth more than was paid
for them.
No applicant for membership in a
Dollar-a- Week club is. ever ''black-
balled." Every member becomes rich
er for joining. Any postmaster can
"initiate" a new member, and anyone
can join at any organization or indus
try where government savings sectri-
ties are sold.

White Feathers.

No white pigments have been found
In feathers, and the wilderness OF
white feathers Is ascribed to total re-
Election of light from their exposed
surfaces. Some have supposed the re-
Election to be from air spaces, or bub-
bles. in the feather structure, but one
authority contends that the white eff
feet is mainly dependent, as in the
case of snow or powdered glass, upon
the small size of the structural ele-
ments. These have a large number OF
surfaces so placed for any position OF
the eye that there is maximum re-
Election to the eye, and almost no abb

In the last year, according to the
Savings Division of the U. s. Treas
ury Department, half billion dollars
has been lost to Americans through
fraudulent stock and oil deals. Think
of it! If this money had been diverted
to government savings securities, it
would have gone into the channels of
legitimate trade and industry and
helped the population as a whole.

My limbs would ache and I didn't know what to do, but l knew I must do something, for I didn't get well by letting it run on.
 My mother is believer in Cardut for she saw what it did for others as we'll as herself, so she began giving 1t to me.
 Tt wasn't long before saw a change. It was just what needed. It regulated me. I began to eat and sleep. and the pain stopped.
