Some reading that will prove interest
ing to young mothers. How to guard a
gainst the disease.
Group is terror to young mothers and
to post them concerning the cause, first
symptoms and treatment is the object of
tlls item. The origin of Group is CON-
mon cold. Children who are subject to
it take cold very easily and Group is al
most sure to follow. The first symptom
is hoarseness; this is soon followed by
apeculiar rough cough, which is easily
recognized and will never be forgotten
by one who has heard it. The time to
act is when the child first becomes hoarse.
If Chamberiain's Cough Remedy is freely
given all tendency to Group will soon dis
appear. Even after the croupy cough
has developed it will prevent the attack.
There is no danger in giving this remedy
for it contains nothing injurious. For

TO AMEND THE BANK ACT.
Comptroller Eckels' Annual Repor
Suggests Several Changes.

Com ptro11er Eckels' Annual Report
Suggests Several Changes.
The annual report of James H. Eckels,
Comptroller of the Currency, submitted
to Congress, contains information in de-
tail in regard to the organization, super
vision and liquidation Of national banks
for the year ended Oct. 81. 1896.
The Comptroller suggests the following
amendments to the national bank act:
That the loans and discounts of banks
to their executive officers and employees be
restricted in amount and secured by prop
er collateral.
That no loan be made to a director, not
an executive officer of the bank, except
upon collateral security or satisfactorily
indorsed note.
That directors be required to make an
examination of their banks once each
year.
That in places having a population of
less than 1000 inhabitants national
banks shall be permitted to be organized
with capital stock of not less than
$4,000, and with a corresponding reduc-
ton in the amount of bonds required TO
be deposited.
That national banks be permitted to es-
tablish branch banks in towns and vii
lagos where no national bank is estab-
lished and where the population does not
exceed 1000 inhabitants.
That the semi-annual tax on circulation
be reduced to Il of per cent.
Concluding. he says: at is respectful

in view the gradual payment and cancel
