NATIONAL BANKS
WANT NATIONAL LAWS

The refusal Of the comptroller Of
the currency to allow national banks
in Oklahoma to subject themselves
to the assessment Of one per cent on
daily average deposits in order to
have their deposits guaranteed along
with state banks has caused some Of
the national banks which were PLAN
ming to take advantage Of the Okla
homa law, to cast about for way out
of the dilemma The national banks
did not oppose the proposed law, be-
cause they had confidence that they
would be given equal protection. The
law was framed with that end in
view and it seemed that everything
would work out smoothly.
President Blake Of the Oklahoma
Bankers Association conferred with
the local members Of the as
sociation, and it was decided that ma
tional banks in Oklahoma will moi
make any effort to take advantage Of
the Oklahoma law, but win remain
as they are, hoping for national legis-
lation along the same line. The ma
tional bankers believe that a nation
al law would not levy a tax Of more
than one-fourth Of one per cent
which would let them off easier thar
Under the state law.

Thomas A. Edison, the great Amer

cent of the illness of mankind comes
from eating improper food or too much
food; people are inclined TO over-iu-
dulge themselves, This is where in
digestion finds its beginning in nearly
every case. The stomach can do
just so much work and no more, and
when you overload it, or when you
eat the wrong kind of food, the di-
gestive organs cannot possibly do the
work demanded of them. 1t is at
such times that the stomach needs
help; it demands help, and warns you
by headaches, belching, sour stomach
nausea and indigestion. You sho uld
attend to this at once by taking
something that will actually do the
work for the stomache. Kodol will dc
