A PLEASANT SUPER ETC.-The
little folks supper on Tuesday night
for sanitary purposes was decided
success. We confess ourselves very
pleasantly disappointed. The re-

nearly one hundred dollars. And

SPECIAL ADVANTAGES OF
THIS LOAF.

1t is National Savings Bank, Offering a
higher rate Of interest than any other, and
the best security. Any savings bank which
pays its depositors in U. S. Notes, considers
that it is paying in the best circulating me-
dunn of the country, and it can not pay in
anything better, for its own assets are either
in government securities or in notes or
bonds payable in government paper.
1t i, equally convenient as a temporary
or permanent investment. The notes can
always be sold for within fraction of their
face and accumulated interest, and are the
best security with banks as collateralS for
discounts.
