Brunswick to Be Congratulated

It looks now as if one Of Brunswiclz's
broken banks would be put on a solid
financial basis within the next thirty
days. The First National, through the
efforts of Mr.. W. E. Kay, has been
granted concessions never before made by
the controller of the currency, and if i S
affairs are wisely managed and its deposit
tors show proper appreciation of their
interests it will open its doors as a state
bank and handle its assets so that they
viii be made to realize something like
their real value. The bank has good
assets far above its liabilities,
but, in these times, they cannot be dis
posed of at anything like their true
worth. BY Mr.. Kay's plan, a costly re-
Ownership will beavoided and the deposit
tors will get their money ina reasonably
short time. Not only that, but the stock
holders will be saved from serious loss.
A while ago the financial outlook in
Brunswick was a rather gloomy one 1t
is becoming brighter, and we are very
glad of it. Brunswick is a plucky city,
and is certain of prosperous future

from Colorado, are giving so much trouble

from Americans. There are, very likely,

F'loridas failure at the fair is greatly to

and few of her public spirited citizens
did all that could be expected of them to

they failed to arouse sufficient public in

have the satisfaction of knowing that it

not to have tried at all. As it is the state

Westinghouse, the inventor and
electrician says: There is no ques-
ton about the development Of much
higher rate of speed than that which
even the fastest service on the rail-
roads of to-day maintain presume
that speed of from ninety to one
hundred miles an hour could be Sc
cured with modern locomotives which
are sure TO come, But l am inclined
to think that other influences may
operate to prevent in the next CEN
tury the running of railway trains at
such speed / have seen mentioned
in some Of the newspapers. 1t is not a
question ofattaining speed, buta ques-
ton of the control OF the train after
great speed has been secured, lam in
clined to think that the development
OF railway travel in the next century
along the present lines will be not so
much great speed as uniform speed.
The ideal speed, l think, will be
about forty miles anhour ah1 steadily
maintained from the time of leaving
one terminal to the arrival at desti-
nation. That will give most salts
factory results l am also satisfied
that the immense cost Of furnishing
power for electric railways, which
some persons seem to think can Sc
cure aud maintain speed Of 100
miles an hour or more, will make such
a development commercially unproft-
able, although there is no doubt that

A very satisfactory receptacle for

furniture calico, but is now sold un.
der the name OF comfortable print.
The barrels that pulverized sugar
comes in are CT good size for this pur-
pose. Carefully break of all nails
that project, both on the inside and
outside. Line the inside OF the bar
eel with smooth, brown paper. OF
remnants Of wallpaper can be used,
using -four paste to fasten the paper
IN. Measure four pieces of print the
depth of the barrel allowing four
inches extra for the drill at the ton
Join the pieces and run a strong
thread around the lower edge todraw
1t on; fold over two inches at tho
top, and gather at the bottom Draw
this cover over the barrel, even the
fullness, aud secure it in place with
small lacks. Place a two.inch band
Of silesia around the top and bottom
to hide the tacks Cover the lid OF
the barrel, inside and out, with the
print. Make knob in the center Of
this lid by putting a screw through
the hole IN a medium-sized spool and
screwing it firmly in place. Cover
the spool with sllesia like the band;
on the hamper. This makes neal
and handy place to keep soiled
articles and each week when they are
removed the hamper should be given

amer money developed from the
hills ot exchange or certificates Of the
lanksand WAS rrulA ~ Est issued by
Tie lial IN bankers N the fourteenth
r.utuiy. Governments found IL an
easy way Of obtaining money in tim IS
NJ necessity, being in eject, a forced
lnan from the people. Paper bills arc
promises to pay and when the Gov
ernment issues them IN exchange for
supplies or services it has actually
borrowed just SO much from the man
to whom it pays them. It, however,
allows him TO pass this note in pay
ment of his debts, so instead of being
loan from him singly, it is a loan
from the whole people.
The ease with which the notes may
be issued has led many Governments
into disastrous experiments in time
OF war and stress the promises being
issued in such profuslon that they be-
come OF no value.
The continental currency issued
during the Revolution by the Ameri-
can Congress and the assignats of
the French Revolution NAV be in
stanced. Paper money depends for
its value on the ability OF the au.
thority that issues It to give value
Tor it when payment is demanded.
When the issue OF the Civil War was
in doubt the value Of the greenbacks
issued by the United States sunk to
one-third their face value, due partly
to a lack OF confidence in the Govern
ment, and due still more to the GER
tainty that payment Of the notes
must be indefinitely postponed.
Even when the war closed and there
was no longer doubt Of the Govern
ment, the currency was deprecated
Tor thirteen years. The Government
was in the position of the man known
to his neighbors as good but slow
pay HIS notes pass at a discount.
The Government was known to be
good for ths amount and it was GER
tain that it would be ready to redeem
It's notes some cav but that was not
enough for the man who wanted to
see the money right away. He thus
passed the note at discount
The value Of paper money thus de-
ponds at any given moment on the
promise of the Government to redeem
it. If the promise will be met when
the notes are presented they pass at
their face value. II there is doubt
on this point the notes must pass at
a discount, greater or less, according
to circumstances II there is no
chance that they will ever be paid
they are worth nothing at all. AS
the United States Government has
stood ready since 1879 to redeem in
gold any notes as soon as presented,
its currency passes without question
at its face value.

Do You Wish

1t is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is
the purest and strongest of all the baking powders.
The purest baking powder makes the finest sweet

der makes the lightest food.
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most digestibe and wholesome
food
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
of the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble2
Avoid all baking powders sold with gift
or prize, at lower price than the Royal,
as they invariably contain alum, lime or sui
phuric acid, and render the food unwholesome
Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining to accept any substitute for the
