1 BOYS' SPEND-
ING MONEY.
With only a little money to in
vest, you can get only a few
things, therefore be sure to get
the things you most need and
desire. Compare the value to
you of the different things yoo
can get before deciding on p.ny
one of them. This is one rule
you will do well to remember,
and there are two others which
i believe to be of equal import-
ance.
The first of the&e is: Do not
spend all your money. Keep a
little on hand always. There
ma*, of course, be times when
you cannot do this, but they will
be few and far between and you
never know when you may need
your money more than you do at
fbe present. fj 3 - ' |
The other role is: Learn to
distinguish between spending
©o ey and. investing it, and he
to fnvest some. When you
out your money for things
Htfear or amuse your-
you are spending it,
things bring back
HMfeirn. When you
which you expect
to help
It took me a long
tims to learn the difference in
these two case^, t have seen
lots of full-grown men who seem
never tb have realized it. They
do not see at jtli the essential
difference, for example, in bay-
ing a suit of clothes to wear out
and in buying a new plow to
enable them to make better
crops. It is the man who real-
ise this difference, and who in*
vest part of their money, so thit
it will help them to make more,
who get ahead.
Of course, it is just as neces-
sary oftentimes, to put money
into things that bring in no re-
turn as Into thoss that do. It is
perfectly proper for you to spend
monsy just for pleasuse; but it
is a great mistake for vou to
spenc^ all your money in such a
way that none of it will bo help,
ing you to make more.
Keep this idea always in mind,
and see that a fair part of the
money you get is placed where
it will help you to make more.
Remember, too, that you are
inveiting your money just as
truly*when you spend it for ed-
ucation—for a book that will
help;you or for a course at

PRAISE FOR THE MEDICAL
DEPARTMENT.
jr"--: ; r_ rYyy. -- i -j.7
Dr. Abraham Flexner, of New
York City, has just made an offi
cial investigation of the medical
colleges of the country. He and
bis helpers visited 150 medical
schools, making a thorough
study of their teaching, equip-
ment and standards. A careful
review of Dr. Flexner's bulletin
sums up its conclusions by men-
tioning the five best medical
schools of the country in the fol
lowing words: ''Fortunately a
few schools can be nameed in
in different sections of the coun-
try which are doing their work
well. The John Hopkins at Bait!
more, the University of Pennsyl
vania at Philadelphia. Western
Reserve at Cleveland, the Uni-
versity of Michigan at Ann Ar-
bor, and the University of Texas
at Galveston, ail appreciate
what good medical teaching re-
quires, and go far to provide it
in all its essential features."

cycles which have marked the
calendars since the voice of God
declared the evening and morn-
ing the first day. It lias been a
good year according to the stan-
dards by which man marks the
years good or bad. Mother earth
has done her part nobly and em-
ptied into the laps of the people
the horn of plenty. Farmers and
merchants havebuilded plethoric
bank accounts and no man who
had the ability and desire to la-
bor has been idle. Perhaps in our
own land never before oould so
many people behold the lights
ghmmering^on the golden shore
of prosperity, or so few see
silhoutted upon the black walls
of night the hideous form of the
wolf of want. Our country is at
peace, our granaries are full,
our banks are loaded with money
oar stores are filled with custom
ers, our laborers are well paid.
Snch is the golden picture that
meets the gaza of Nineteen Hun
dred and Ten, as he, in the
gloaming, reviews the triumphs
of his closing reign. Truly he
has wielded the sceptre graoeful
ly and will leave to our land a
crown richly studded with the
jewels of prosperity. But the
year is growing old His spring-
time with all its vernal joys, his
summer with its wealth of sun-
shine, his autumn and its giad
fruition have passed and only a
few days of hoary winter remain
to the good year which now looks
out peacefully upon scenes sweet
to dwell upon as evening falls
and calms awaits the annual
change which must number his
reign with the years that were.
Many figures will be changed
upon the calendar, many seasons
come and go, perhaps, ere we
see his like again.

THE BORROWING HABIT
There is a habit among the
young men much more danger-
ous than it appears and which
may lead to results extremely
disastrous—the habit of borrow-

returning the loan in a short
time. But the thoughtlessness
which caused the purchase of an

the life and make it unpleasant

small salaries should by all means
avoid the babit. To do so will
necessitate perhaps many sacri-

besides, the habit of economy
