ONE INDICATION
OF CHARACTER
By Oscar Schmidt.

He owns his hOme"-thls remark is
often advanced as evidence of a man s
standing in the community. AS few
indeed inherit a home it is usually a
good indication OF a mans stability
that he has put his money into a
permanent memorial OF his frugality.
The most practical way to realize
ones desire Of owning a home is by
budgeting expenses and investing a
set amount each month.
To help you realize this worthy am
bitIon is the sole excuse for the ex-
istence of the Savings & Loan Asso-
citation. 1t offers the investor per
cent dividends for the use Of his
money to help some other prospective
home owner realize his dream.
The saver of today is the home
owner Of tomorrow.

Artistic Faculty,

There is beauty in the moral world
and in the intellectual world; but
there is also a beauty which is neither
moral nor intelleetual-the beauty OF
the world of art. There are men who
are devoid of the power of seeing It.
There are others III whom it is
an overpowering passion; happy men,
born with the productive, or at lowest,
the appreciative, genius of the artist.
But, in the mass of mankind, the
aesthetic faculty, like the reasoning
power and the moral sense, needs to
be reused, directed, and cultivated;
and | know not why the development
of that side of his nature, through
which man has access to n perennial
spring of ennobllng pleasure, should
be omitted from any comprehensive
scheme of university education.-Hux-
ley.

pampness Harms a Piano.

Most people know that a piano
should never stand in draught; but
1t Is not always possible to place the
instrument In an ideal position. A
piano is frequently regarded as a
piece of furniture, instead of a some
what delicate arrangement of fine
wire and hammers which are very
susceptible to changes of temperature.
Damp is the greatest enemy that con-
fronts the piano, but if the lid Is
raised frequently and allowed to re-
main open for time current of air
can circulate inside. Damp also causes
the hammers to swell, which, In turn,
makes the keys hard to depress. 1t is
never advisable to have valuable
piano in cold room In winter for
more than day or two at a time;
and If possible small oil stove should
be placed near to it fer an hour or so
each day, If 1t is NOT desirable to light
n fire occasionally.
