CHRISTMAS SAVING ACCOUNTS
At this season of the year, those who have practiced
thrift and, saved from their earnings each month a
quota—no matter how small or large, are feeling hap
py over fhe accumulation of their savings and the ac
crued' intetest. Forming the habit of saving is like
character building; it grows and increases and forms
a nucTeils for insuring against need when old age has
overtaken you. It is reassuring to find at the end of
the year a nest-egg safely stored away in some re
liable! bank. Every school child should be taught and
encouraged in the habit of saving pennies, nickles and
dimes, and when grown'the large denominations of
money will be easier to save and accumulate.
Throughout the country', the banks are paying out
Christmas checks and making thousands of wage
earners happ.v. The amounts they deposited each week
may have seemed small and insignificant, but now
that it comes to them as a whole, they arc made
happy and provided with money sufficient to war
rant a happy Christmas without having to draw on .
their^alaries or to borrow money from friends or
from father sources. The New York Sun speaking of
the lafge amounts being paid out by the banks
throughout the country to Christmas fund members,
Bays:,-' ’
"Practically all of it goes to small savers; it has
been put away week by week out of income without ■
crippling anybody. Regularly has made its accumu
lation a' mere incident of routine. Experience in the
case of.savings in Christmas funds has led many per
sons to : apply the same system to vacation funds.
"Many who experimented in thrift to make sure of
extra-money for Yuletide have learned the satisfac
tion and comfort intelligence drivers from storing the
surprfirsijf today against the deficit of tomorrow. They
have, mastered the first lesson in the oldest and best
method of putting prosperity to its bestf use."
Weare not informed as to the amount that Is being
pr.id put'dr will be paid out by the hanks of this city
in Christmas -savings.-deposits, hut-wa-do' know that
the habit of saving produces thrift and character
building, for children as well as the grown-ups that
will mean much for their success throughout life. If
you d(d not have a savings account this year, remem
ber to'commence now depositing for another year.
The atnourit spent on this or that luxury which could
have'been saved amounts to a handsome sum in the
course of » year. Try it and be convinced.

THE VETERANS ARE GOING HOME
From reports issued from the office of the Secre
tary ot.the interior, it is shown that 15,000 Union Vet
erans were called home during the past year. The
number hr not alarming; it has been 63-years since
hostilities closed between the states. A great majority
of these,,soldiers had passed the age of twenty-one
wheiytjic call was made for them to volunteer to de
fend n catasc they believed to be right. The same was
true w the Confederate soldier. He, too, fought for
a cause he believed to be right, but thousands of these
soldiers entered the sendee in the defense of their
countty bfefore they had reached their majority and
thousands of them were mere hoys of sixteen years
However,'these Veterans of the Civil War will soon
pass over to the Great Beyond and “on fames eternal
campjpjfcjground” they will meet again—not in arms,
but in .peace and love.
Thi Confederate soldier, unlike his brdther of the
Union armies, receives no pension from the federal
government, but from the states of the Confederacy
he recived a small sum. It is given as a token of the
appreciation of his sendees rendered in the defense
of ma'hoine and his country. There are few surviving
.Confederate Veterans; while they are here, increased
pensions should be appropriated by the legislatures
of thaConfederate states. Not in payment for their
aervicgtffor no amount of money could ever repay
them for their loyalty and devotion to the cause thoy
loved so dearly, but as an appreciation.

untold suffering and dines ie.
'Fortunately thousands of women haver
found the way to save their families from the
evils of constipation. By serving Kellogg’s
ALL-BRAN—that healthful- cereel—in some
form every day, constipatio n is safely relieved
and prevented.

DEFECTIVE HEARING
A bulletin from the Children's Bureau of the United
States Department of Labor announces that a survey
shows that 10 per cent of the school children of the
UnitfldJjktes have measurable defects.of hearing.
Tqrgpliqve the situation, there is recommended a un-
iform”law iti all states and cities requiring an annuel
examination of the hearing of all school children,
with eventually the opening of clinics in all schools.
Froabbly it will be a good many years before such
laws can be passed. In the meantime, each parent
can part. The expense of having a doctor e.\-
amitkgi a .child’s hearing is negligible; and doing so
may-B*ve the child an untold amount of unhappiness
in future years.
