Hot soda baths are recommended by
some persons for rheumat ism, and the
way they are taken Is this: Fill the
tub half full of water as hot as can be
borne, add half pound of common
baking soda, and immense the body for

the temperature by the addition Of hot
water from time to time. Vaseline or
cold cream should be rubbed into the

The term ptomaine poison is quite

A Double Tragedy.

New York, Nov PA double trag-
edy, wife murder and suicide, was dis
covered by fremen who had been
called out to subdue blaze in the
home Of Nick Smith, wealthy manu-
facturer of New Rochelle. When the
firemen burst into the house, after
the flames had been controlled, they
found Smith and his young wife dead,
each with bullet wound in the body.
Mrs Smith had been shot in the
breast and apparently instantly killed.
The bullet which killed the husband
entered his head behind the left ear.
On the floor beside Smiths body was
found revolver, with which it is be-
lieved the shooting was done. That
Smith had killed his wife, fired the
house in hopes that it would hide his
crime, and then killed himself was
plainly proved in note which was
found in the room.

BRYAN VISITS ROOSEVELT
He Talks Finance-Adds Details Of
Plans for Government Insurance.
of Bank Deposits.

President Roosevelt and w. ]. Bry-
an were in consultation for half an
hour Saturday.
Il was not invited to CALL" Mr.. Bry-
an said on leaving, but l called up on
the telephone and asked If the presf-
dent would receive callers. On being
informed he would l came simply to
pay my respects to the president"
Mr. Bryan was not willing to discuss
the details Of the interview, burt was
free to add details to the financial
plan which he proposed few days
ago. In reviewing every measure OF
relief which had come to his notice,
Mr.. Bryan said that nothing seemed
to be intended to meet the situation
as effectively, and at the same time
as simply, as to have the government
insure depositors in national banks
against loss by reason of the failure.
of the banks. 1t was not intended. he
said, to have the government collect
fund for this purpose, to be kept
on hand. Whenever a national bank
should be required to pay it's depos-
itors it would be the duty of the gov
eminent to make an assessment on
all national banks to meet the amount
of loss by reason of the failure This
assessment, Mr.. Bryan saidl would be
infinitely small.
Opposition to this plan, Mr.. Bryan
conceded, might be made by state
banks, which would be left out of the
plan. The answer to this, he said, was
that the states should individually take
up the same scheme and stand as q
guarantee against loss to depositors
in state banks.
Mr.. Bryan said as yet no plan had
been made to have his relief measure
presented to congress. However, he
felt very encouraged over the prus4-
poets of its ultimate success.
Being asked as to his position ON
the tariff, Mr.. Bryan said, it was, EVIL
dent; that nothing could be hoped for
in the way of tariff revision during;
this, republican, congress.
Il am in favor of removing the,
tariff on news print paper and wood
pulp, an article controlled by trust,
just as l am in favor of removing the,
tariff on all other trust controlled artf-.
cles." he said.
Mr.. Bryan remarked that he had a,
very pleasant chat with the president.

new BANKING IDEAS
MANY new PROJECTS SUB
MI1TED TO CORTELYOU.
Grouped Under Four Heads, Central
Bank OF Issue, CentraIlze Existing
National Banks, Issue More Money
Against Other Than U. s. Bonds,
Also on General Assets Secured.

Details Of many new projects for i'm
proving the currency are being sub
mitted to the president and Secretar,
Cortelyou, and are receiving such at
tention as the other exigencies of the
financial situation permit Secretary
Cortelyou is good listener, and usual
ly digests quickly essential parts of the
various plans which are submitted tt
him.
Measures relating to the currency
which are being discussed among
bankers and incoming members OF con
gress, may be roughly grouped under
four heads, a central bank of issue, a
central organization of the existing ma
tional banks, the issue of additional
circulation against various classes OF
bonds other than United States bonds
and the issue of circulation upon gen
eral assets with the security of a guar
anty fund.
The project OF a central bank based
upon general outlines of the Bank of
France or the Imperial Bank of Ger
many has apparently been attracting
LlOiO dltCAllOu VI ldlt l1dll ANY pre-
vious time in recent years. Senator
Hansbrough of North Dakota, who is a
member of the finance committee, has
announced that he will introduce a bill
for such an institution.
Mr.. Wexler, vice president of the
Whitney Central National bank of New
Orleansy, is openly in favor of cen
trail bank, and says that the New Or
leans press, taught by the strain of
the cotton situation, is generally with
him.
Those who favor a central bank
point to the recent crisis as the best
evidence OF the aid which it could have
Afforded had it been in operation.
Their view is that the national banks
would have been able to rediscount
their paper at such an institution and
obtain it's note to an amount necessary
to relieve the strain. 1t is considered
somewhat significant in some Quarters
that Mr.. Ridgely, the comptroller of
the currency, has just declared tor
central bank of issue, after having in
previous reports recommended only
general credit currency for the existing
banks. The utterances Of Mr. Ridgely
are not, however, considered to commit
the administration. Treasurer Treat
has plan which he is advocating
when he is invited to deliver a public
address on the subject.
1t is so long since a central bank
existed, or was even seriously dis
cussed in the United States, that there
is much difference of opinion as to
the details of the organization. Those
who advocate it generally insist, how
ever, that the secretary Of the treas
ury and the comptroller of the cur
rency should be ex-officio members of
the board of directors and that the
president should appoint or approve
the selection of the head of the bank.
