that the National Grange, in session
at Hartford will do likewise. / do
not believe there will be much oppo-
sition from national banks. / have
had talks with bankers in number
of cities and they have not made OBJ
jections. The national banks would
get the use of the money deposited
with the government.
''The object of the plan l have is
to prevent money being put out of
business. The people would have
confidence in the government and
would not withdraw their deposits as
they have been doing. The govern
ment would receive the money and
pay 2 per cent interest on it, loaning
it to the national banks for 2 " or 3
per cent. The interest from the
banks would pay all expenses"
Would you demand securities
from the banks?" Mr. Meyer was
asked. He replied:
''In the first place the government
would be a preferred creditor as to
deposits. In the next place, the con-
g 9q pInoM GoueIIno eQl 10 LeUoJl
member of the board of directors, and
would make frequent examinations of
banks receiving allotments of depos-
its.
II sent good man to Canada to
study the workings of the postal saw
ings bank there. He reported that
in the last thirty-nine years the Cana
dian government had handled $400,-
100000 of funds and in that time the
losses from defaulting postmasters
and in other ways had been only
$4,000. | don't think the govern
ment would lose much money by dis
honest postmasters. The funds de-
posted with them would be deposited
each day in national banks designat-
ed for that purpose.
But as l have said, the main idea,
in a postal savings bank system is
that it would have behind it the credit
of the government. Take the case of
immigrants who come here. In the
last fiscal year they returned to their
homes $40, 900 of money through
United States money orders. | have
no doubt that through various other
sources they returned in that year
fully $S0.000,000 more, making to-
tai of $50, 100000 that went out of
the country. A portion of this went
to relatives, but we have traced mil
lions of it back to the postal savings
bank systems of foreign countries.
The immi migrant Is unfamiliar with our
business methods and had rather
trust his money with the government
of his own country. If we had a
postal savings bank system, be-
lieve immigrants would deposit mil
lions that now go abroad"

Farmer recently published full H.

which have given the farm a wide
reputation. The article is as follows:
In the records of the lives of some
men there are inspiration and en-
couragement that are worthy of more
than ordinary consideration. In the
story of the achievements of the man
of whom / am to write, the attain
ments are only such as any young
man with good ability, coupled with
good sense and tenacity of purpose
can reach, if he will form the same
general habits of life and patiently
endure the necessary privations and
employ frugal methods in expenditure
of earnings at the beginning of the
course.
George G.. Woodman, of Bennington
Shiawassee County, Mich, was born
in Canada where he spent his school
boy days. His father was laboring
man, and consequently George was
thown on his own resources at an
early age. Having a love for live
stock, he naturally sought employ
ment with farmers who kept stock OF
the improved varieties. Ror his first
term of service he received $40 q
month. Not being satisfied with the
possibilities near his native town
he came across the border into Mich
igan, where wages were higher and
opportunities for acquiring money
sufficient to buy a farm were better

PROPER WASHING OF SUMMER
GOWNS IMPORTANT.
Material VIII Not Suffer II These
Directions Are Observed
cate Fabrics Are Destroyed
by Much Rubbing.

The thin white dress seems always
associated with the idea of summer
and 1t always looks well, whether
worn by young or old, and moreover
goes with any coloring. Save for very
dressy occasions, these garments may
seem an unwise investment to the
ultra-practical woman, as they become
easily soiled. Something of the first
bloom disappears after the visit to
the cleaners and the process OF wash
Ing is supposed to be impossible.
However, II the washing is properly
done the material reed not suffer In
the least. Then the short skirts,
which are worn now, remove one
potent cause Of soil. and even the
heavy lace gowns. which have such a
rich effect In ecru and deep cream,
will wash beautifully in borax water
with some good white soap. Women
who expect to have their gowns last
over into the next season will find it
an excellent idea TO have the lace
ripped Off and washed at the end of
the season before putting 1t away or
having 1t remodeled In the fall fashion,
as the case may be.
This heavy lace should be washed
in boiling water that contains four
tablespoonfuls of borax to tub Of
water. Soap should not be rubbed
upon 1t directly, but should be made
into suds first and should be good
white soap. The first rinsing water
should contain one tablespoonful of
borax to tub of water. The water
should be warm and ought not to be
wrung out from the thin materials or
lace; they should be squeezed and
shaken. The heavy lace can either be
pressed on the wrong side with hot
iron, taking care not to pull or stretch
1t out OF shape, or 1t may be pinned

AWFUL EFFECT OF ECZEMA.
Covered with yellow sores-orew
Worse-Parents I7iscouraged-cu-
ticura Drove sores Away.

Our little girl, orc year and half
old, was taken with eczema or that
was what the doctor called 1t. We
took her to three Doctors but by this
time she was nothing but yellow,
greenish sore. One Forming we dis
covered a little yellow pimple on one
of her eyes. Doctor No. 3 said that we
had better take her to come eye spe-
cialist, since 1t was an llcer. So we
went to Oswego to doctor No. 4, and
he said the eyesight YVES gone. We
were nearly discouraged. 5ut thought
we would try the Cuticu-a Treatment,
SO purchased a set of cSticura Rem
edies, which cost me 81, and in three
days our daughter, who had been sick
about eight months, showed great i'm
provement, and In one week all sores
had disappeared. OF course it could
not restore the eyesight, but II we had
used Cuticura in time l am confident
that 1t would have saved the eye.
