Bank Failures.

The national banks have been max
ing bad record during the past six
months or more, especially since
Cleveland's election. They have not
been anything like retaining the record
they enjoyed during the twenty years
preceding. The system commenced in
1854, during the necessities and troub-
lous times of the war, and from
that time up to October l, 1892, the
number of these institutions that pass.
ed into the hands of receivers was only
1Sl, an average of only six per annum.
Since last October no less than thirty
have suspended, of which eighteen are
already in the hands of receivers, and
twelve are awaiting that stage of set

precarious condition of the money
market and trade confronting them,

growing more careful and conservative.
but just the reverse,
II is peculiar, however, that the ma
joF part OF these failures have occurred
IN that section of country where the
feeling against the national banking
system is greatest, and where loose
ideas of finance and banking most
prevail. These failures will 10 many
cases be attributed to the national sys.
tenn only, whereas the cause is solely
due to the bad management of these
fault-hnders themselves.

Fruits

1t is IA mistaken idea that no fruit
should be eaten a. break fast 1t would
be better il people would eat less ba.
con and grease at breakfast and more
fruit. In the morning there is an acrid
state of the secretions, and nothing is
SO well calculated to correct this as
cooling, sub-acid fruits, such as peaches
apples and pears Most of us have
been taught that eating fruit before
breakfast is highly injurious How
the idea originated we do not know,
but it Is contrary to both reason and
facts.
The apple is one of the best of fruits,
Baked or stewed apples will generally
agree with the most delicate stomach.

ant to the taste, cooling, nOurishing
and laxative, far superior, in many
cases, to the abOminable doses of salts
and oil usually given in fever and
| other diseases.
! Oranges are very acceptable to mos t
| stomachs, having all the advantages of
the acids alluded to, but the orange
| juice alone should be taken, rejecting
the pulp.
The same may be said of lemons,
pOmegranates, aud all that class.
Lemonade is the very best drink in
fevers, and when thickened with sugar
is better than syrup of squills and
other nauseOus drugs in many cases of
coughs.
Tomatoes act on the liver and bow
els, and are much more pleasant and
safe than blue mass or liver regulators.
The juice alone should be used, re-
jecting the skin.
The small seeded fruits, such as
blackberries, figs, raspberries, currants
and strawberries, may be classed
among the best foods and medicines.
The sugar in them is nutritious, the
acid is cooling and purifying, and the
seeds are laxative.

ACCIDENTAL DEATHS.
Caused by Careiessness.


The majority of people die sooner than
they should. Evidence of this fact is grow
ing daily. Waring says Disease is not Il
consequence of life; it is due to unnatural
conditions of living-neglect, abuse, want"
DIR. Stephen Smith, on the same subject,
Man is born to health and long life; dis
ease is unnatural, death, except from old
age, is accidental, and both are preventable
by human agencies" This is almost invari-
ably true of death resulting from heart dis
case. Careless Over-exertion, intemperate
use of tea, coffee, tobacco, alcoholic or other
stimulants are generally the causes of this
difficulty, and indifference to its progress re-
suits in sudden death, or long sickness end
ing in death. BY the newspapers it can be
seen that many prominent and hundreds OF
persons in private life die from heart dis
ease every day.
If you have any of the following symp-
toms: shortness of breath, palpitation, irreg.
ular pulse, fainting and smothering spells
pain in shoulder, side, or arm, swollen
ankles, etc, begin treatment Immediately fol
heart disease. Ifyou delay, the consequences
may be serious.
For over 20 years DR.. Franklin Miles
The eminent specialist, has made profound
study OF heart disease, It's causes and cure
and many of the leading discoveries in that
direction are due to him. His New Heart
Cure is absolutely the only reliable remedy
for the cure of heart disease, as is proved
by thousands of testimonials from grateful
persons who have used it.
James A. Pain, editor of the Cory, Pa. Leader

months of Ia grippe, ] fell on the street uncon
3ciOus from heart disease. In one month from
that time was unable to walk across my room
