THE POWER OF CREDIT.
Present Banking System Is Radically
Defective - How the Farming
States Are Affected.

The borrowing power Of all the peo-
pie Of the country at the banks averages
5000 per capita. Arkansas is at the
bottom Of the list with S4.s6, while
Massachusetts, is at the top with s346.4A
In other words, it takes the combined
credit Of over 2O5 inhabitants Of Arkan-
sas to borrow $1,000 from a bank, while
less than three can do il in Massachu-
sets
Only two states west Of the Mississip-
pi are above the average for the whole
country. They are Montana. with
s1O2.61, and California, with S2O1-2A
COloTado's per capita is S6T.93, and that
Of Kansas only S3S.65. But these figures
were compiled before Colorado led all
the states in gold and befo=e Kansas
paid her mortgages with last gears big
crops. East Of the Mississippi every
state west Of Pennsylvania and south
Of Maryland is below the average.
Several differences can be drawn
from these startling figures One Is
that our present banking system is rad
ically defective. Another is that il Is
not changed banking. but free silver
that is lacking. All admit that some
thing is wrong with the farming states

ing, aud promptly eject any iutruding
disease The success Of Dr. Ayers Sarsa-
PariIla in curing indigestion and dyspep-
sia Is due TO just this quality which II

The ordinary treatment brings the food

Dr. Ayers SarsapariIla puts strength into
the stomach, and brings Il up TO the level Of
the strong food st for men. II does this
by strengthening the entire system The
stomach cannot stay weak when all the
other organs are gaining strength. What

the North side society queens of Wichita.
In due time a swell lawn party was
given by the hostess at her home, to
make the visitors acquainted with her

was VIII Beatty. He was presented to
the eastern lady, and it happened to be his
good fortune a little later in the evening to
have her on his arm prOmenading over the
yelvety lawn In the course Of the con-

business he followed. and he replied: I'm
