An item appeared in the daily pa-
pers recently which told of a busi-
ness man who opened a pocket book
containing 8000, in order to extract
Chough money to purchase a railroad
ticket. Not long afterwards ha-dis-
covered that his pocket had bean
picked. Another item told of a man
who had $80,900 buried in his cellar.
Becoming frightened over the oc-
currence of many burgularies, he dug
it up and deposited it in a bank for
safe keeping. This money had bean
buried for fifteen years. At 4 per
cent, simple interest, it would have
returned him 81,200 per year. As
he apparently did not need the in-
come for living expenses, the interest
would have been compounded and the
increase would have amounted to sev-
eral thousand dollars more. He lost
more than 820,000 by keeping his
money in the cellar.
In one case the man carried on his
person a sum large enough'to tempt

fession or vocation. Why are 18 per [public. In the other, the man kept
his possession a secret, but hid it
away in a dark cellar. Both would
have profited had they used a bank
through which to transact their bu-
siness. The modern bank renders a
service to both small and large de-
positors. They are generally pro-
tected by bonds and insurance to the
extent that depositors seldom lose.
Mora money is lost every year by hid-
ing it out, or by carrying it around

ber of years through the banks of the

Is there anything in all this world so
unfair as cheating a child out of its
natural birthrights? Facta gleaned
by those who have made a careful
survey of child life in oar Nation in-
forms us that 82 per cent of the child-
ren of America are born with a chance
to be vigorous men and women. Of
this 82 per cent who are born with a
chance to be sound, useful men and
women, only 17 per cent grow up
without some handicap to mar their
success in life. These two facts indi-
cate that the other 18 per cent are
born with little or no chance to live
and grow into strong men and women.
One of the things that every moth-
er’s club and every woman’s club
should study is the cause of these
conditions. We would all find it a far
more interesting study than any
drama or poetry or art or anything
else in the line of knowledge. For

Moat Effective Plan of
Keeping Flock Healthy
Systematic whitewashing of the In-

summer U one of the most effective
means of keeping the flock healthy.
Whitewashing makes the quarters
lighter and purifies, transforming dark,
dlogy, smelly houses Into light, deaa
rooms. To clean and disinfect effec-
tively, pour half a pint of formalde-
hyde Into each gallon of whitewash.
This purifies the air.
