?NDERFUL ST MISE SAVER BIG SUM . BUT ONLY TO LOSE IT ..*w..~ Man Did Not Follow Principles of Thrift-Sole Idea Was to Hoard : Hie Money, Spending Nothing. " A modern Midas o? Chicago, who had accumulated $300,000 by never spending anything, recently was de clared incapable of handling his af faira. He became Incapable not be cause he amassed $300.000 but because of the way he accumulated it. He es tranged his family, went to bed with the chickens to avoid spending money on lights and lived on $55 a year. Then he ran afoul of the puzzling in come tax law and now his children are to handle his beloved savings. This modern Midas was not a thrifty man. He was a misar. True thrift enhances and increases the wealth of the world. Hoarding money benefits neither the miser nor his fellows. Wise spending is as essential as wise saving, and wise investment is as important as either; wise spending for the comforts and pleasured of life as well as the necessities makes for the thriftiest life and stimulates production. Wise investment makes possible the crea tion of new wealth. The miser saves but spends noth ing. He secures only the meager sat isfaction of watching his pile o? money grow. The wise exponent of thrift and sound investment has the com forts and pleasures of life and saves at the same time. The foolish man spends his money for what he neither needs nor really wants; does not at tain the comforts and lasting pleas ures of life and saves nothing. If the modern miser of Chicago had spent wisely he would have had years of comfort and happiness instead of years of squalor and want. If he had saved wisely he would have had the love and respect of his family and as sociate*. If he had invested wisely he would have been competent to han dle his own affairs. "Waste noj-want Bot" ls still the modern axiom of thrift but "want not" must not be interpreted to mean not wanting the things that make life worth the living. Don't be a modern Midas. PICKING UP THAT PIN A story of E. H. Harriman. who died leaving an estate of $75.000.000. cred its him with one day picking up a small steel letter clip dropped on the iloor by a careless employee.

In a few years I'd be the richest man in the 1 world." "LIKE UM" and "LICK UM From faraway Tulsa, Okla., comes the story that War Savings Stamps are tremendously popular among the Indians who have grown rich from oil wells discovered on their properties. "Stlck-em-on" competitions are popular among the Indian Rocke fellers, who buy the $5 stamps in J sheets, arrange their cards neatly and start licking and sticking at a prearranged signal. After all the stamps had been stuck on during a recent contest the Indians capped the "field meet" by lining up and racing to the post office to get the Btamps registered. Blue Nose Smells-No- Meat won the race and had his stamps registered first. He had pasted on $485 worth of War Savings Stamps in six min utes and fourteen seconds. His time to the postoffice was 56 sec onds fiat. Put your money where it will do double duty for you-in War Savings Stamps. Money saved is what counts.

I knew I must have some relief or I would soon be in the bed and in a serious condition for I felt so badly and was so nervous and weak I could hardly live. My husband asked Dr. -about my taking Cardui. He said, 'It's a good medicine, and good for that trouble', so he got me 5 bot tles... Af ter about the second bottle I felt greatly Improved.. .before taking lt my limbs and hands and arms would go to sleep. After taking lt, however, this poor circulation disap peared. My strength came back to me and I was soon on the road to health. After the use of about 5 bot tles, I could do all my house-work and attend to my six children be sides."
