Ghosts would frighten many people
who are not afraid of germs. Yet the
germ is real danger. If this micro
scopic animalism could be magnified to
a size in proportion to its deadliness it
would show like giant python or fire
breathing dragon. The one fact to re-
member is that the germ is pOwerless to
harm the body when the blood is pure.
1t is far easier to keep the germ out than
70 drive it out after it obtains a hold In
the system. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery is the most powerful and
perfect of blood purifying medicines. 1t
increases the quantity IS well as the
quality of the blood, and enables the
body to resist disease, or TO throw it off
if disease has obtained footing IN some
weak organ. Wherever the digestion is
impaired the nutrition of the body is di-
unfinished. for the blood is made from the
food which is eaten, and half diges'ed
food cannot supply the body with blood
in quantity and quality adequate to its
needs. For this condition there is no
remedy equal to Golden Medical Discov>
cry. 1t cures ninety EIGHT out of every
hundred persons who give it fair trial.
Where there is constipation DR.. Pieree's
Pleasant Pellets will promptly relieve
and permanently cure.

Largest Family in the United
States. Remarkably

Well.Preserved.
Mrs Samuel Swartwood of Wilkes
barre. Pa. is the mother of the largest
family in the United States. Although a
com aratively young woman, being only
forty seven years old, she is the mother
of twenty-five children, twenty of whom
are living. The youngest is only a few
days old, and gives promise of being
like his brothers and sisters, hale and
hearty.
To be the mother of twenty-five chill
dren is no mean achievement, and Mrs.
Swartwood is proud of it. Her children
are her greatest blessing, and, singularly
enough, they are all good, obedleht emil
dren, without the pEoverblal black sheep
among them.
To a Sunday Times representative, who
called on and congratulated her upon her
WorderGul family, Mrs. Swartwo0d said :
"My children are my JOY. Tnongh l
have always bad baby '-she laug hed
modestly -"and sometimes two to look
after. they never seemed to be the trouble
and worry some babies are. My last one
seems more cute and sweet than any OF
the others. but suppose all babies seem
more interesting when they are just
born"

There is no sign that his condition will

is wiped out and replaced by class that

consolidating their organizations.
The railroads which command all the

are diligently working toward perfecting
their methods, the manufacturers are
combining into greater and still greater
trusts, the mining interests are combining
into smaller bodies of greater power, the
mercantile interest is consolidating into
great department houses, the shipping
and shipbuiding business are coming
together more closely and into compact
bodies, the commission men, those GO
betweens, form alliances offensive and
defensive. The banks, the machines of
the money trust, are being organized
steadily into pools or large combinations
that have cinch on every dollars worth
of business in the country.
They use every dollar with which to
draw interest from the wealth that pro-
ductive industry creates, by the system of
credits instead of money they have de-
vised. Every branch of business is crys-
talizing into little sphere of its own. Ali

Government Banks.

Extract from Money, by R. s. Thompson.
I will present you plan which it ap
pears to me would meet the case exactly.
Let the government prepare supply of
money. This money should not be a
promise to pay some other kind of money
that would be making two kinds of
money and making one kind, the kind in
which the other was to be paid, the better
money, because it could do some things
the other could not do. That sort of
money works injustice, as l have shown.
Let this money simply be printed: This
note is legal tender for the sum of one
dollar in payment of all debts, public and
private, in the United States. Then let
it bear the signature of the secretary of
treasury and, if you like, the great seal of
the United States.
How would 1 get this money to the
people?
In every commercial center 1 would
establish a national bank that would be a
national bank, owned and operated by
the nation. There would be no need of
five on one block, with all the attendant
expenses. In city of this size [Spring-
field, o. one would be sufficient. In a
large city there would need to be branch
banks for convenience, just as we have
branch postoffices.
These banks would carry on business
on very much the same style as our banks
do now, but they would loan money to
everybody who applied and loan just as
much as was applied for, broVided the
applicant could give proper security.
What would 1 consider a proper secu-
rity? That is matter of detail we need
not discuss now. 1t could be put high
enough to be more than ample. If the
government required five dollars of
security for every dollar of loan, it would
provide opportunity to get more money
than would ever be called for.
With all the banks under one manage
ment there would be no chance for the
trickery that is often resorted to- today.
A man could not go TO a number of diff
ferent banks and get loans from each
until he had far exceeded his ability TO
pay. All borrowing would be Gone
through the bank, and as eace man could
get through his own bank all that his cir
cumstances would justify, there would be
no excuse or occasion for his applying to
any other bank or to any other person for
loan. The fact that he did so would be
presumptive evidence that he was want
ing to borrow more than he could give
security for. In fact, all loans outside of
bank loans might very properly be made
uncollectable by law, for there would be
no excuse for any other loans except as a
matter of kindness, where collection
would be merely matter of honor in any
case.
Wild cat schemes would be at a discount
under such system, neither would we
have any more banks organized without
capital solely to speculrte on the depos-
itor's money.
This system would do away entirely
with all mail robberies. All money could
be sent through the mail in bank checks,
and the person to whom payable would
have to be identified.
