l be but one law regulating savings de-
 pOSitS in the state and that the bill
 under consideration was favored by
 at least 60 of the 8S savings banks 1n
 the state. There are about 10 trust
 companies that have a savings depart
 ment and one of these does practically
 no other business. The savings de- pOSitS in these panieS amount to
 between $5, GOO, ,O0O and S6, 0O0, 900 and
 increased nearly S1, 100000 last year.
 He contended that a savings depart
 ment should not be part of the busi-
 ness of a trust company, but, II the companies will do this business, the
 money of poor depositors should be safeguarded. M. l.. Peck of the Bris-
 tol Savings bank followed. as did As
 sistant Treasurer Hunt of the Water bury Savings bank and Meigs H. WhapleS, president of the Connecticut
 Trust & Safe Deposit Co. MT Whaples spoke at length in favor of the bill and
 answered questions from MT KeneaIy. MT Whaples was followed by E. H.
 Morse Of New Haven and then Ex- Speaker Kenealy began for the opposi-
 tiOn. He contended that the support of the bill is solely from the savings banks that fear competition and that whose savings are supposed to be in question. MT Kenealy contended that, having chartered the trust companies,
 the General Assembly had no right to restrict their operations. The con- panies had been forced to take the charters the Legislature had prepared and. having accepted these charters, it would be a breach of faith to change them at this time, especially when no good cause was shown for it. MT Kenealy said that the funds of poor people were fully as safe in the care of the trust companies as they are in the savings banks and added that indica- tiOnS are that the examinations made by the bank commissioners are some what perfunctory in their nature. The examinations made by the auditors of a trust company responsible to the stockholders, are, he said, far more thorough and searching in their na
 ture. The trust companies have all the best features of the savings banks and they ought not to be haled before a legislative committee to contend for their rights because the savings banks of the state fear competition. MT Sperry followed along similar lines of argument and R. Jay Walsh of Green wich spoke at length in opposition to the bill. He agreed with MT Kenealy that the trust companies would not oppose bill which would make their stockholders responsible for every doi- lar of savings deposits, but he protest ed vigorously against the bill under consideration and especially to that clause which would make the trust companies change their investments during the present year. MT Nettle- ton favored the pending bill.

The News-No Pure Drug Cough Cure Laws would be needed, If all Cough Cures were like Dr Shoop's Cough Cure is-and has been for 20 years. The National Law now re- quires that if any poisons enter into a cough mixture, it must be printed on the label or package. For this reason mothers and others should insist on poison marks on Dr Shops labels and none in the medicine, else it must by law be on the label. And it's not only safe, but it is said to be by those who know it best, truly remarkable cough remedy. Take no chance. par ticularly with your children. Insist on having Dr Shoop's Cough Cure.
