variety. On all the various and sty-
lish designs may be found roses

panytng buds. Such is the caprice
of fashion. Then again there are
poppias, the ever popular violet, and

hlance Of their originals. There are
fluffy creations of rice straw and

A Good Suggestion.

There is an old well in the street
at the intersection of Marvin and
Williams streets from which water
has been flowing out at the top for
some time. Several efforts have
been recently made to fill up the
well but the water continues to
flow. The Lights attention was
called to the we'll today with
the suggestion that the city
council have it cleaned out, put a
nice eurbing around it and put in
drinking fountains for both man and
beast. The suggestion is a timely
one and the Light hopes to see the
council take some steps looking to
this protection of the we'll.

America is the land of nervous women.
The great majority OF nervous women
are so because they are suffering from
some form of female disease. by fur the
greatest number OF female troubles are
caused by catarrh.
Women afflicted with pelvic catarrh de-
spair of recovery. Female trouble Is SO
common, so prevalent, that they accept
it as almost inevitable. The greatest OBJ
do not understand that it is catarrh which
is the source of their illness. In female

hundred are nothing but catarrh. ferunu

New Rule on Postal Cards.

Government postal cards which ere
enanleled, bronzed or in any way de-
faced lose their character as postal
cards hereafter and become subject to
ordinary letter postage when they bear
a written message, or to third-class
postage when they are all in print.
This ruling Is contained in the la,test
edition Of the postal regulations. Tho
ruling is thought 20 be resu,t.of the
recent disclosures regarding the! ease
with which such cards are counter
feited.
Though the department had not dis.
covered The maker Of these bogus cards
when this order was drawn 1t has been
known for a long time that such work
was made possible because persons
weFea perE,itted to enamel uncanceled
cards and thus use them, though they
had been printed before. Postmasters
have been instructed to enforce this
rule strictly.

DETRO1TS BANE- FAILURE


Detroit, Feb. 1.-THE talk Of the city
is still the collapse of the City Savings
bank. owing to the fact that Vice
President +. c. Andrews had more
than third of the banks $1,000. 900 OF
deposits out OH certified checks and
Overdrafts.
The most vital question to the de-
pOsitOrs Of the wrecked bank is whetL-
er the checks which Cashier H. r. An
drews certified for Vice President +. c.
Andrews when he had no funds in the
bank, amounting to $tai2, 900, and which
the latter deposited among four other
local banks and u trust company are
legal.
If they are held to he Illegal because
Of Cashier Andrews having certified to
them without the knowledge of the d.
rectors, 1t Is thought that the assets of
the City Savings bank. with what has
been turned over to it by Il. C. An
drews. will be sufficient to pay deposit
ors in full. On the contrary. if they
are held to be legal it will take just
that amount from the depositOrs.
President f. c. Pingree said during
the day lie believed that the checks
would be decided illegal and that the
depositors would receive. at least IS
cents on the dollar. In the statement
prepared of the banks condition these
certified checks were ignored.
+. c. Andrews has not turned over
to the City bank any Of the securities
he took out Of the other banks with
the oyercertitied checks, and their
whereabouts are not known. Nothing
could be learned in regard to them by
the bankers who questioned him,
There is not much change in the con.
ditiOn of Cashier II. r. Andrews. who
Is seriously i'll with nervous pfostra-
ton
