For Lying.

Brother Cobson, member of old,
if not of good standing, in back
woods church in Alabama, was drawn
up before church committee on the
charge Of stealing hog. The old fel-
low showed signs of deep humiliation
when he appeared before the commit
tee, and the nervous manner in which
he chewed his "long green tobacco
was evidence that he was anxious as
to the outcome of the trial. The chair
man of the committee called the meet
ing to order, and then, looking at Cob
son, sadly said:
"It do grieve me nightly to be
here. -
1T don't grieve you nigh as much
as it do me- Cobson answered.

Kidney disease is the enemy we
have most to fear as result of the
feverish restlessness Of our much
vaunted modern civilization. 1t is a
treacherous enemy, working out its
deadly effect under cover Of the most
trifing symptoms. The first indica-
tions Of changes in the urine, frequent
headaches, digestive troubles should
be the signal for prompt remedial
measures. Prickly Ash Bittcrs is a
kidney remedy of superlative merit: it
is soothing, healing and strengthening,
quickly relieves the aching or sore
ness that always appears in the ad-
vanccd stages, checks the progress Of
the disease and through its excellent
cleansing and regulating effect in the
stomach, liver and bowels, it brings
back the strength and ruddy glow of

WICHITABANK NAMED
As Depository for United
States Revenue Collections.
BIG BOND REQUIRED
Secretary Gage Would Not
Consider Plan Last Summer.

Yesterday the designation OF the Ma
tionaI Bank Of Commerce OF. Wichita as
a government revenue depository became
officially in force by theh completion of
the bond required by the secretary Of the
treasury.
The establishment Of a depository here
came about in this way. Last summer
when President A. c. Jobes, of the bank,
was IN Washington he asked Secretary
Gage Of the national treasury TO make
the Bank Of Commerce here a depository
for internal collections. Mr.. Gage saw
that there was no necessity for another
depository In Kansas and that he could
not consider the proposition. Mr. Jobes
asked permission to file an application
for designation as an official depository in
case the matter of establishing another
one in Kansas should become necessary.
Mr.. Gage consented TO this and it was
done. Mr.. Jobes came on home The
next thing he knew he received notice
from the treasury department that the
National Bank Of Commerce had been
designated as an official depository for
the collections from internal revenue
taxes in this district and that a $50 900
bond would be required. Mr.. Jobes i'm
mediately prepared the bond and sent it
away and now the bank Is a government
depository to theh extent Of the bond.
that is $4,000. This is a significant recog-
milton Of Wichita and especially Of the
