One Dollar Saved Represents Ten Dol
lars Earned.

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 the case he can not be too
careful about unnecessary expenses.
Very often few cents properly invest
ed, like buying seeds for his garden,
will save several dollars outlay later
on. 1t is the same in buying Chamber
lain's Collie and Diarreoea Remedy. 1t
costs but a few cents, and bottle of
it in the house often saves doctor S

WAGE CUTS NOT ENOUGH
 TO SUIT THE RAILROADS

Chicago, June 6-Demanding that the entire wage increase granted all railroad employees in the country by the railroad labor boards wage award of July 1920 be wiped out, more than 150 railroads appeared before the board today with re- newed petitions for wage reductions.
 Several roads demanded reductions of flat twenty per cent cut for all em- ployes, while others merely declared that every basis for last years increase had disappeared and that it was now time to restore the wage scheduled of April 50, 1920, prior to application of the $500, 100000 wage award.
 Two new propositions apeared in the course of the testimony presented by railroad representatives today. John G. Wolber, representing 54 eastern carriers, told the board that time and one-half pay for overtime in freight and yard train service should be abolished and that a schedule of wages for the entire country was discriminatory and "a seri- ous violation of economic law"
 J. W. Higgins, who spoke in behalf of siXty-siX western roads, told the board plainly that the railroads were not sat isfied with the reductions granted by it's decision of June 1 and demanded that the increases of last year be entirely wiped out
