over the hip joint. and It gave her immediate relief
Since then she has used about seven. and she has now

THURSDAY EvESHG, Aprl ~.
Il is reported that strong effort will be
massage of bill prohibiting the National
Gan1s from paving interest on deposits. This
will probably be opposed by the banks, "a it
would deprive them of means OF competing
with private and State banks for the business
Of great many valuable customers. The al
aowance OF interest on deposits, when kept
within reasonable limits, is not at variance
with the principles Of sound banking, but the
payment Of 4per cent interest by the banks
Of New York On the balances of their Western
md other bank customers has grown into an
abuse, and is the means byWhch the money OF
the West is placed at the disposal of the gam
blers in stocks and gold, whose success Is al
ways dehiment to legitimate business. But
