One Crisis IL Past.
We saw after the eth day Of May panic
that there might be a sreat speculative
collapse without its producing any lasting
depression, but we can hardly expect TO
Withstand repeated shocks of this kind, and
II IS therefore now especially important for
situation and act with great prudence ana
caution.
It seems to be inevitable that we should
have periods of rest and recuperation. They
are apt to be most severe when we have
been going too fast. The pace We have
travelled for the past Eve or six years has
been a rapid one. The signs are not lack

are too far spent. There is yet time. and
with prudence and care we should be able

can safely stand up to this point, but

that the cost of living has greatly increased.
We have been consuming our available

bank reserves are low and the loans as
highly expanded as Is prudent. The sit

ment necessary to give some relief.
Government Must Improve.
Something should be done to more nearly
equalize government receipts and expendi-
lures. We should years ago have changed
our obsolete system so that the funds of
the government can stay In the channels
of trade and not be locked up In vaults
by the hundreds of millions.
1t Is unfortunate that the weakest point
In our banking system Is in its provisions
for dealing with such a situation as seems
before us today. Nothing could better
Illustrate the necessity for a more elastic
banking currency than the demand for IT
at the present time. Our banks have been

enormous crops, probably the largest In
volume and value the country has ever
produced.
II would not be any undue expansion or
imitation II these banks had the privilege
of issuing in addition to their notes covered
by bonds an amount of uncovered notes
equal to say so per cent Of their covered
issues. Call IL credit currency, asset cur
rency or emergency currency, or what you
will. A small tax will provide a guarantee
note holder and the public. A graduated
tax and ample provision for redemption
will insure the retirement of these notes as
soon as the necessity for them ceases. Such
notes have been found safe and satisfac-
tory In other countries. They Will be more
so here where We have abundant basis for
the credits.

A BULLDOG
la Easier to shake on Than the Cof-
fee Grip.

A lady OF st. Paul. Mimi, never drank
anything but cold water until she was mar
ried and then commenced to drink coffee.
She says: about one year after our
marriage my husband began to complain
Of a distress in his stomach and I had such
dizzy spells after each meal that we had to
see a doctor. We drank coffee three times
a day, but did not imagine the coffee was
causing all this distress. The doctor said
both our livers were out Of order, gave us
some medicine and told us we ought to
break on drinking coffee. We stopped II
for a while, but missed the hot drink so
much we went back to coffee. In hve
years time I lost a complexion that was
faultless and gained a very bad stomach,
and my husbands stomach was ruined. He
thought he had cancer OF the stomach, or
something worse, but we had formed the
habit Of coffee drinking and, like ~drunkards,
found Il no easy matter to break on,
although we knew It was killing both Of us.
We kept a grocery store at the time, and
a lady called one day and asked for Postum
Food Coffee. saying: My children like II;
will not drink anything else. and | know 1t

trouble with their stomachs.' This inter-

ach. She told me how to make Postum

After drinking IL three times a day for
a week I felt much better and my husband
declared that he felt like q new man. We
have drank Postum for four years and have

since, and I have lost that sallow, yellow
