HOLD Your BREATH.-DoNT COUCH
There is nothing more irritable to cough
than coughing. Constant coughing is like
scratching a wounds so long as it is done
the wound will not heal. When tempted to
cough draw long breath and hold it until
it warns and soothes every air cell, and
some benefit will soon be received from
this process. The nitrogen which is thus
refined acts on the mucous membrane,
allays the desire to cough and gives the
throat and lungs chance to heal. At the
same time the use of DR.. Humphreys speci-
fic "77' will aid nature in her efforts to re-
cuperate. At druggists or sent postpaid ;

MEETING OF WCMAN'S CLUB
Department of Political and Social
Science Furnishes the Program
for Mondays Gathering.

The department of political and social
J science under Mrs. C. s. Lobinger, leader
provided the program for the Woman's club
1t was introduced by a song from Clement
| B. Shaw, newcomer to the city from Chi
cagc. MI Shaw has deep bass voice of
remarkable purity and smoothness and
though suffering from heavy cold dis
played a method at once finished and ar
tistic. His selection was Schubert's WAN
derer" and in response to an encore he
gave "Hybrias the Cretan." Miss Myra
McClelland was the accompanist.
| DR.. George s. Miller spoke on Omaha,
! Then and Now He began by a recital
of his experiences forty-f1ve years ago when
he crossed tho state of Iowa in a stage
coach Arrived at a Mormon settlement
called Kanesvile now Council Bluffs, and
took boat across the Missouri, land ng
where the smelling works now stand He
described the "unsurveyed prairie" now oc
cupied by the city and the "huts" with
! "foorless floors and windowless windows'
that served as dwellings for tho men, less
than a dozen in number, and the four or five
women who constituted the entire white
population of Omaha at the time. He also
spoke of the only child associated with those
early days, q little barefooted girl who
once brought him a dozen eggs to pay for
pulling a tooth and who afterwards as the
wife of a millionaire banker became leader
OF :ho best social life of the city.
The speaker created much amusement by
his description of an executive ball" which
he designated as "Omaha's first social out
break" He told of the icy floor, Ct the
solitary fiddler behind the stove, and the
full dress CT the dancers, dwelling also
inf n1i Shu Rnf fe
of the nino women who graced the occa-
sion by their presence.
Tho doctor reserved tho eloquence of his
address for the pioneer women, to whom, he
said, "thc glory of the conquest made by
this community over desolation, poverty and
vice is largely due" They refined, chas-
tened and made beautiful tho land condl-
tons, he continued, "aboring with cheer
fulness and uncomplaining fortitude and
they lived and grew upon a social order as
sound in virtue and as earnest in purpose as
any that prevails at the present day"
During the business hour Mrs. Sly, head
worker of the Child Saving institute, occu-
pied few moments presenting the work in
which she Is engaged.
Rev. Hughes of Tabor college brought the
greetings of his college and said few words
in favor of the coeducatlcn of the sexes.

stead Of at the rate OF 8 per cent, thus allow
ing its freer use under more normal condi-
tions. But if no uncovered circulation for
panics is provided the more repressive tax
/ Of per cent seems desirable upon the bond
secured emergency circulation
/ SiXth-There is no need, under normal
conditions, Of large amount of emergency
circulation or high degree OF elasticity in
J banknote circulation. The immense volume
of checks, drafts and bills of exchange, based
upon the assets of banks and often called
! bank-credit currency, expands and contracts
in accordance with the demand OF trade and
business, and is the medium through which
I the great bulk of the business of our coun-
! trly is transacted. 1t is extremely elastic,
and varies in amounts at different seasons OF
! the same year. 1t is generally amply ade-
quato to the business needs of the country,
except in times of disturbed confidence and
financial panic.
| Seventh-The issuance of bank asset notes
under normal conditions and in the present
development of our banking system can not
be justified by the plea that without them
the needed elasticity of banknote currency
can not be obtained. Nothing except the
avoidance of panic can at present justify
any experiments with bank-asset currency.
When authorized for use in times of panic
they should be so heavily taxed that they
can circulate only while a panic lasts and
like clearing house certificates should be a
remedy simply for rare emergency.
In seeking the theoretical advantages Of
huidty in bank circulation we should take
no risks with its solidity.
Among other recommendations the comp
troller strongly urges laws authorizing the
incorporation of banks for the purpose of
carrying en- international and intercolonal
banking as distinguished from domestic
banking. He also recommends laws author
izing the establishment in small communl-
ties OF national banks with a capital Of
s25, 600.
He repeats his recommendation of one year
ago relative to a modification of the law re.
stricting loans to any one individual to 10
per cent of the capital of national bank,
and advises the attaching of a penalty for
making excessive loans after the present
section is modified.
He also gives in detail the results of an
extended investigation into the development
of all the different banking systems of the
United States during the last ten years
