THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM ' AND SUN-TELEGRAM 4

Learning Thrift That the American people are , gradually learning the lesson of thrift and are ceasing their prodigal dissipation not only of the natural resources of the country, but also of the wages and salaries they receive, is apparent from the last postal report which shows a gain of $22,000,000 in the last twelve months over the previous year. The number of depositors- increased by ' 525,414. The Lafayette Courier commenting on this showing says: "In all forms of savings banks deposits have grown substantially in recent years, and the millions who can show the proof that they do not spend all they earn increase materially in number from decade to decade. This expansion has been much greater than is generally realized. Sta

tistics for 1910 show that at that time the savings bank deposits in the United States totaled $3,713,000,000. That was nearly 90 times as large as the total in 1850 and in those sixty years the population of the country quadrupled. In the decade from 1900 to 1910 the deposits grew con

siderably more than a billion dollars, so today it is safe to say we have over four billions in sav-, ings accounts. The figures show that saving has j become more general and that the individual j

credits have mounted upward constantly. Postal savings bank depositors are extensively composed of a class who formerly hoarded money because of an unwarranted distrust of all banks." It is noteworthy that three-fourths of the depositors are of foreign birth. Aliens are accustomed to postal savings through the use of this institution in their home countries. They teach us that thrift begins in a small way but leads to competence in old age.

Fighting the Grip

An epidemic of grip is prevalent in the United

States. In Chicago, eighty-five teachers were compelled to leave their class rooms last week. New York and other eastern cities report the ail

ment as wide spread and malignant. A number of cases have been reported in Richmond. Although grip is not a scourge such as smallpox and diseases of that kind, it nevertheless is an ailment that seriously interferes with the health and sometimes has fatal results. Dr. Hurty, secretary of the state board of health, has issued a few hints telling how to stay the disease before it reaches an aggravated condition. One of his suggestions is that persons afflicted with the ailment go and stay in bed under a doctor's care until they have recovered. This means a speedy recovery for the patient and at the same time prevents the disease from spreading throughout the whole city. Grip is contagious. Why not be on the safe side? Let afflicted ones stay at home and thus safeguard persons who are not afflicted.

Baby Buntin' was a doll, and her little mother, whose name was Catherine, used to sing to her! "My little Baby Buntin. Your father's gone a-huntin', To get a little rabbit skin To wrap my Baby Buntin' in."

Her grandmother had taught it to

her, and when Santa CI us brought

this baby doll Catherine at once

thought of the name Baby Buntin'.

Baby Buntin' was undressed and put to bed like any live baby, and dressed each morning with great care. Then Catherine would put her in her carriage and wheel her through the park. When Catherine went away for the summer to visit her grandmother in the country. Baby Buntin's clothes were packed in the trunk with Catherine's, and Baby Buntin' was carried all the way in her little mother's arms. But a terrible fate befell Baby Buntin while she was visiting at the farm, which nearly broke the heart of her little mother. Catherine's grandfather had a dog named Ned; he was a good dog, excepting for one fault. If he found anything lying around the yard, and he could manage to carry it, or even drag it, he would take it to the woods and bury it. One day Catherine had been having a picnic for her dolls under a tree near the house. Ned had been a very

appreciative guest, as he was given all the crackers and candy that were left by the other guept". After the picnic wrs over, Catherine! carried her dolls and dishes into the

house, all but Baby Buntin'. She was! loi't sittin.rr under the tree, because j Catherine intended to take her in the! hamnvx-k with her.

But no sooner was Catherine out of Fight thrm Ned took Baby Buntin in his mouth and ran toward the woods. Catherine came back just in time to see him disappearing, although she had no idea that he had her precious Baby Bmitin' in his mouth until she reached the tree and found her gone. Catherine ran after Ned, calling for him to stop, hut Ned only ran faster, and poor Catnerine had to return for

help, c rying as if her heart would j

break. Her grandfather told her he would go with her, and on the way to the woods he tried to comfort her by saving, "You shll have another doll nicer than Baby Buntin' if Ned spoils her." "But there is no nicer doll than

Baby Buntin'," sobbed Catherine; "she ! is the rlcest doll in 1 le whole world." I and hr grandfather, never having !

been a little girl, did not understand such reasoning.

When they came to the woods her grandfather whistled for Ned, and In a few minutes he came bounding toward them. "Where is It?" she asked Ned. Ned wagged his tail and went back through

the woods, Catherine 'and her grandfather following bin When Ned came to a place where he had been digging he stopped, and there, with her head and one arm showing, was Baby Buntin'. Ned had not dug the whole over deep, and she was not covered. Catherine's grandfather rescuel her,-and, although she was covered with dirt, Catherine hugged her close In her arms. Baby Buntin's face was scratched and her clothes torn by the bushes where Ned had carried her, and one arm was nearly off, too. "He almost killed you," said Catherine, as she took off her torn clothes and washed away the dirt from her little face. "But I love you Just the same if your face is scratched," she said. But the torn arm brought forth fresh teprs from Catherine, for her grandmother had to sew the arm and Catherine was sure it must hurt Baby Buntin'. She held her hand all the t'me her grandmother was sewing and told Baby Buntm' to be brave and not cry. Although Baby Bunti never looked the same after her adventure, to Catherine she was the same Baby Buntin' and her little mother heart told her eyes there was no flaw in her beauty. Ned was punished for doing such a wick d thing and her grandfather told Catherine he was sure Ned would never bother Baby Buntin' again. Catherine, however, never gave him a chance to prove he could be trusted, and Baby Burtin was always safe in her little mother's room with the door closed or where the careful eyes of Catherine coul '. watch over her.

Splendid Laxative for Elderly People

Has Been Prescribed by Well Known Physician for Many Years. The infirmities of age are especially manifest in a tendency to constipation, and call for treatment that will afford relief in an easy, natural manner. The rapid action of cathartic remedies and purgatives that shock the system should be avoided, more especially as the relief they offer is only temporary and is usually more than o'fset by disturbance to the vital organs caused by their violent action. Nearly thirty years ago Dr. W, B. Caldwell, Monticello, 111., prescribed a compound of simple laxative herbs that has since become the standard household remedy in thousands of homes. It acts easily and gently, yet with positive effect, without griping or other pain or discomfort. Mrs. Rachel Allen, Galesburg, Kans., is seventy-one years old, and after using a bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, wrote that it had done her a world of good and that she intends to keep It in the house always.
