CULTIVATE HABIT OF THRIFT
Practice Means That One viii Be
Ready TO Seize Opportunity
When II Comes.

Practice thrift habtually. Make It
es much part OF your routine as
eating and sleeping. Get yourself sys-
tematlzed. Work on a definite sched-
ME. Save regular amounts. Plan your
work and your actions so that you
viii have no idle time, no lost motion,
no wasted energy.
These are among the secrets Of sue
cess, happiness and progress.
The time to begin the cultivation Of
thrift habits is now.
The most important message that
can be conveyed TO the people Of this
nation today is: Get the thrift habit"
Practice thrift not for brief inter
val or internationally, but habltually.
Disraell said. The greatest secret
Of success in life is to be ready when
your opportunity comes"
This brief sentence furnishes one Of
the best reasons for practicing thrift
that ever has been given. Ii presents
a phase Of the question TO which not
enough attention is paid. Ordinarily
thrift Is looked upon as means OF
safeguarding one against possible
emergencies or of building up an ac-
emulation of money for some definite
purpose. But there are many unex-
pected turns in the pathway of life

Central Africa and spent day and
night there. The Jungle was right at
the doors Of the white mems houses.
SO numerous were the wild beasts
that the village seemed to be in the
midst of vast menagerie, and so bold
and dangerous that men and women
went armed even by day. At night
they kept indoors.
While Doctor Mitchell and his host

next-door neighbor, however, caught

behind the tennis court. The bucks,
however, could not stop but went ca

Candy and Soda Prices

Neither candy nor soda water Is
a necessary of life and the expendi'
turo OF energy by public officers IN
attempting to regulate the prices
charged for these luxuries is gar
ing instance OF waste.
If man or woman, or boy OF
girl. does not want to pay the price
charged by coniectioner for MS
wares all that the dissatisfied person
need to do is to keep his or her money
in his or her pocket
Should the prices charged by any
coniectioner arouse the resentment ot
a sufficient number of persons TO
effect his trade seriously he would
mighty soon revise them. The pubic
can protect itself in this matter Just
as II protected itself in the matter of
shoes and clothes,
Let the public authorities devote
themselves to essential problems, and
let individuals themselves solve the
less important problems.-New York

Dollar Sian In Brazil.

The monetary unit In Brazil is the
Portuguese real, though in theory
only, for no such coin exists: hence
in practice only the plural reis is used
and the unit is really the milreis, or
one thousand reis. For some years
the milrels had remained at the fixed
value of 10 to the English pound, or
about $3.50 reis to the American dol
lar. In larger transactions the unit
Is the conto, one million reIs. Gold
is never seen In circulation In Brazil.
From the milreis to the conto there
are paper notes. silver coins from five
hundred to two thousand reis and
nickel pieces of four, two and one
hundred, the last the tostao Of popu-
lar parlance. The Brazilian places
his dollar sign after the mllreis and
before the rels, so that 3S250 means
the equivalent of whole dollar and
the man who pays $500 for a news
paper or small glass of iced cane
juice does not feel that he has been
unusually extravagant, at least II he
has lived enough in Brazil to get the
local point Of view.

Against Troy Bridge Company

preme Court last night verdict If
$4,000 for The Troy and Albany
Steamboat Company, Ltd, against the
Troy and West Troy Bridge Company
and dismissed the complaint against
Terry G. Tench Company. Inc, and
The Fort Pitt Bridge Works of Pitts
burg, Penn. on the ground of no
cause of action.
The plaintiff company asked for
100000. Deliberations of more than
five hours preceded the return of the
verdict. William j. Roche, counsel
for The Troy and West Troy Bridge
Company, principal defendant, on
which the responsibility for the de.
structlon Of the steamboat was fixed
by the Jury, moved to set the verdict
aside on the ground that it was con
trary to the weight of evidence, not
only as to the amount of the verdict
but as to the findings Of fact with re-
gard to the co-defendants of the
bridge company.
A counter motion for the setting
aside OF the verdiC> was made by
John T. Norton, attorney for the
steamboat company, who alleged
the amount of the jury's finding was
insufficient to cover the loss. The
verdict was defended by Herbert +.

and Martin Schcnck, representing
the Pittsburg concern. Justice Rosch
