THIS WORLD HAS BEEN DIVIDED
And sub-divided the people of the
world have been divided and sub-divided
the sub-divisions are endless.
Suppose we divided the people
into three classes. The very rich,
who can afford to spend their in
come; the very poor, who haveto
snen d theirs. Then there is the
third class the

start saving ineir money uuu
it up continually. They never
stop. The habit is formed early
in life and they can't "swear off."
The saving habit is the means to
happiness and contentment.
This bank offers the opportunity for
every man to save his money. No one
can afford to let the chance escape.

The Word "Sinister."
Of "sinister" a writer says: "How

Is this simple wonl with dubious

threat of dreams the threat that is
something worse than the clear menace
of trouble in waking hours. Man want
ed a word for such terrors and took
the mere name of the left hand. This
would serve as well as another, seeing
that all words which we have filled
with mental emotions had a grosslj'
material beginning, as 'bitter' and
'sweet.' Emerson says that all lan

Eeef Tea For the April.
I have often had occasion to protest
against the widely hugged delusion of
beef tea being a highly nutritious food.
As I have stated, it Is a stimulant and
has the objectionable quality of render
ing the bowels lax. In old age there
is an opposite natural tendency at
least, that Is the rule. When this rul?
obtains and there is weakness we shall
find in strong beef tea a most valuable
medicine. But do not commit the mis
take of regarding the stuff as food,
says Home Notes. It will so stimulate
the body that food can be taken; it will
so stimulate It that the person will
feel better, but it Is making li'm live on
his vital capital. Beef tea is uj more
nourishing than brandy.
