Savings bankdepoaita increased last year one billion one hundred and forty million, a good deti of money, and that*s only ? small part. Other hundreds of millions were invested in real estate, bonds, stocks, etc. In the world's history there a nothing like the way in which the American people both SPEND money and SAVE money. Savings average thirty million dollars /a day, about thirty cents a- day for every man, woman and child?not bad. . Yet you have pessimists predict ing hard times and sensible busi ness men actually frightened by their own talk about "a bad Presi dential year." We are indeed "fearfully and wonderfully made," and well may we praise the Lord. What horri ble things MIGHT happen if our glands ran wild, as in the case of a little Russian boy four years old. He wears a full beard and has such abnormal power that he wrestles successfully with grown men and must be watched lest he strangle bis playmates, having the brain of a child and no realization of power. Doctors say the unfortunate boy has excessive development of vari ous glands, especially the thyroid. Marvelonsly we are balanced, and we should be grateful. At the Equator, temperature 140, or the North Pole, 50 below zero, the temperature of your blood remains the same, not a change of one de gree, while outside temperature changes two hundred degrees. And the earth, that fioating hot house in which you live, sails through frightfully cold ether per manently at "absolute zero," cold . inconceivable to us, and we are protected from it ' Washington predicts that portal employes will get an increase of $800 a year, "all except laborers." WHY except the laborers T , Their children eat as much, wear ont as many shoes as others. The Gov ?eminent can afford to pay its work ers well, and should remember that the child of a laborer may he the moat important citizen or the fu ture, ana, anyhow, should be well . -fed. Kcata, the poet, worth ten million average human beings wu the aen of a livery stable groom. The Governor of Connecticut, past fifty, "will enter Yale Univer sity, to specialise in Watery and psychology when his torn ends, and that in normal. At fifty, men really want knowledge and value it. In early youth they crave ex ercise and excitement. In childhood we lock them up in schools, forcing knowledge into them fay a pumping process, when they ought to be oot of doors. And when they are old we turn them out into the golf fields and let them make geese of themselves, when they really ought to be studying. The Labor Government of Eng land has abolished all duties on' automobiles, motor cycles, moving picture films and watches?and that, in spite of Great Britain's terrific war debt. This highly intellectual Ameri can Republic is planning a tax on radio sets, which is about as intel ligent as it would be to tax school books or new ideas. To allow twenty billion dollars' worth of se curities to go untaxed and put a tax on horgan ingenuity is foolish, to put it-mildly. Mason J. Aldrich bought a Bible at auction for twenty-five cents, and found nr it two bills, one for $100, the other for $2." A wonder ful bargain, newspapers call it But there are better things than $102 to be found in any Bible. There is salvation, most important, and if you are more interested in money than salvation, as some are, you [can even make money by reading the Bible. Isaiah, Job, the Pialms stimu late the mind, make the brain work. A stimulated mind succeeds, whether in making money, or avoiding sin. "To lend dignity to their bobbed heads," English women wear fil lets of green and gold, or little spikes, in Goddess of Liberty fash ion. The real dignity of a bobbed head, is a.well shaped skull.
