IN WHICH CLASS DO YOU
BELONG?

Making money is the very SIM
pleSt thing in the world. It consists
in spending less than you get. If
you make te dollars a week and
spend eleven you are on the way to
you make ten dollars a week and
ten dollars and spend nine you are
on the way to success.
The sensible person makes it an
iron rule to spend less than he
makes. It may be difficult, he may
have to suffer and to go cold and
hungry, but out of every ten dol
lars he gets he saves one dollar at
least, though the heavens fall.
The only reason anyone does not
get ahead is because he thinks his
present needs are more important
than to save portion of what he
has.
There is only one name for such
person. He is a fool. There are
all sorts of fools in the world, but
this is about the worst sort and
the one for which there is no
excuse.

front it bravely. If responsibility is
great, do your best and look pleas
ant.
Third, Indecision.
You never can know absolutely
what is best. But our business is to
know only what is probably best.
Decision rests on a balance of
probabilities, not on perfect judg-
ment.
All forceful people decide quick
ly. They may be no nearer right
than those who hesitate, but they
have the advantage of having done
something. It is a matter of habit.
And if we accuStom ourselves to
deciding rapidly in favor of what
is probably best we save ourselves
infinite distress.

the more we learn the more there
is for us to learn. One beautiful

THREE ENEMIES ,
OF LIFE
Rambling Thoughts BY The
Philosopher

There are three devils, sworn
enemies to the human race, at
work night and day to exterminate
us as quickly as possible, and to
make life miserable for us so long
as we cumber the ground.
Their names are:
Hurry,
Worry and
'IndeciSion.
It is not work that wears us out,
but these three.
First, Hurry. It's immediate re-
suit is over-strain. And many peo-
pie suffer from tangled nerves, dys-
peptic Stomachs and sleepless
nights, simply because they have
done, not too much work, but work
that was too confused and crowded.
The antidote to Hurry is System.
Many a nervous wreck might be
cured by few first lessons in or
derly thinking.
Second, Worry.
AS Hurry is from lack of order,
so Worry is from lack of courage.
It is Fear in its Subtlest disguis-
es. It comes camouflaged as sense
of responsibility, or natural anx-
iety, or a great love, or the reli-
gious feeling.
Really it is sheer weakness, the
coWardice of a nature that shrinks
from the necessary give-and take
of the struggle for existence
If a thing is inevitable, adjust
yourself to it. If disaster looms,
