POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

C INCE the recent annual meeting of the New York Bankers Association was made notable - by address strongly opposing the establish of postal savings banks this country, 1t is gratifying that at the assembly of the American Bankers Association at Denver champion of such banks had the opportunity of delivering the opening speech, and in doing made earnest plea for the proposed innovation.
 The question of establishing postal savings banks has long been before the people of the United States and has been discussed extensively both by the press and in Congress With the incoming of the present administration the issue was made of practical politics The Postmaster General recommended the adoption of the system, and bill providing for its establishment avorably reported from the Senate Committee on Postoffiees. The outbreak of the war caused postponement of the subject, that nothing was done at the last session. but it is certain the ure will be taken up this winter and if possible ried to success.
 While the bill now before the Senate is in some respects an administration measure, 1t is not going to be party question: A considerable number of Re publican as we'll Democratic papers in the East have already pronounced against it. and Eastern Con- gressmen of both parties will probably be largely ad verse to it. On the other hand the friends of the plan are many and there reason hope they will be able to make winning fight.
 The New York Mail and Express opposes postal savings banks the queer ground that following the there will be large expansion of commerce and industry, resulting of course in enlarged demand for money and, says, Under such conditions there will be no necessity for providing Government of caring for the savings of the people There will be plenty of employment for money in safe enter prises and better rates of interest than prevail to- day"
 This argument means that when the banks pay higher of interest than they pay there will be no need of postal banks. It has therefore ree whatever to the real problem which the postal banks are expected to solve It was never the idea of any that postal banks would pay higher rates of interest than existing banks have been paying It expected of the postal banks that they will place banking conveniences within the reach of all classes of people, that they will gather up the savings of the whole country and make them available for trade and commerce
 The very conditions which according to the Mail and Express, render postal banks unnecessary are those which augment the demand for the system The larger the earnings of the people the important is that they should have safe place in which de- posit their savings The greater the demand for money in trade and commerce the greater the need of bringing back to the channels of trade all that is paid out for wages.
 In the cities where banking facilities abundant postal savings banks perhaps not necessary but in the rural districts they among the imperative needs of the time and it is gratifying that the issue has been promptly brought to the front at the Denver meeting.

What Shall We Do.

A serious and dangerous disease pre-
wallis in this country, dangerous because
so deceptive. It comes on 30 slowly yet
surely that it is often firmly seated before
we are aware Of 1t.
The name of this disease which may be
divided into three distinct stages is, First,
Kidney trouble, indicated by pain in the
back, rheumatism, lumbagO, frequent de-
sire to nrinate, often with burning
sensation, the flow of urine being cOpiOus
or scant with strong odor.
If allowed to advance, this reaches the
Second stage, or Bladder trouble, with
heavy pain in the abdomen low down
between the navel and the water passage,
increasing desire to urinate, with scalding
sensation in passing, small quantities
being passed with difficulty, sometimes
necessary to draw it with instruments:
If uric acid or gravel has formed, it will
prove dangerous if neglected.
The Third stage is Bright's Disease.

FRUIT PROSPEROUS GOOD.


State Commissioners Baker Returns From

A Tacoma dispatch to the P.-I. says
Estate Commissioner of horticulture
J. e. Baker Is here from an extended
visit through the interior, and reports
an excellent fruit crop in all sections.
He calls attention to the fact that evap-
orators and dryers for preparing fruit
for market are not as plentiful as they
should be, and that for this reason
alone much fruit will 60 to waste which
should be turned into money.
referring to the state fruit lands in
general, Mr.. Baker says there are many
inquiries from intending settlers from
all parts of the east, looking to their
location in Washington with q view to
raising fruit for the market. The fruit
acreage, he says, il steadily on the in
crease, and the almost limitless posi-
bilities in this line he predicts will soon
place Washington far In the lead as q
fruit growing state. But q small frac-
ton of the fruit lands are a. yet under
cultivation, and with the arrival of new
settlers this branch of farming is sure
to take long strides to the 'front.'"
