"If you want to know whether you are go-

easilv lirul out. The test is simple and infali-
b!e. ' ARE YOU ABLE TO SAVE MONEY? If
not, vou will fail assure as you live. You may
not think so, but you will. The seed of success
is not in you."
Mr. Hill was the greatest railroad man of
the century, and he knew the value of saving.
His method was to save a part of each month's
earnings.
Are you a follower of the Hill method or
are you going the "easiest way"? Mow is the
