HillerY's Team Defeats GOding's at Basket Ball

The drs. game of basket ball played at the White Pass Club last night in a victory for Willard Hillery's team by score of i2 to 5. The game was played under disadvantages, as no good ball could be found, and the decorations put up for the masquerade ball, which had not been removed entirely, prevented high passes. The play was fast con sideriug thrt it was the first game played for several years by Some of 'the players. That there is material for a good basket o,ll team was shown plain ly, but the need of practice was also made evident. Team work was con spicuous by is absence, and there was some unnecessary roughness. In throwing goal every man on the floor showed himself to be badly out Of practice.
 Hillery's team took the lead at the start, and held it co the end. Fred Tanner proved most accurate at hitting the basket, getting the three goals two in the first half and one In the seconG. EawxhurSt made the only field goals for Godine's team but in doing so he was ably assisted by his team mates. h fact, about the only team work snown was displayed by Sparks, GOding and Eawxhurst, work ins the ball from one end of the field 10 the othe: by short passes.

ltal in notes of a given kind. the issue to De taxed at so high rate as to drive the notes back when not wanted in legiti- mate trade. This plan would not per- mt the issue of currency to give banks additional profits, but to meet the emer- sency presented by times of stringancy l do not say that this Is the right sy.- tenn. l only advance 1t to emphasize my belief that there is need for the adep- ton Of some system which shall be au- tomatc and open to all sound banks so as to avoid all possibility of discrim- nation and favoritism. Such plan would tend to prevent the spasms of high money and speculation which now ob- tain in the New York market; for at present there ts too much currency at certain seasons of the year, and it's ac- cumulation at New York tempts bankers 10 lend 1t at low rates for speculative purposes; whereas at other times when the crops are being moved there is ur- gent need for a large but temporary in- crease in the currency supply. It must never be forgotten that this question concerns business men generally quite as much as bankers. especially is this true of stockmen, farmers and business men in the west, for at present at certain seasons of the year the difference in in terest rates between the east and west Is from six to ten per cent. whereas in Canada the corresponding difference is put two per cent. Any plan must, of course, guard the interests of western and southern bankers as carefully as it guards the interests of New York or Chicago bankers. and must be drawn from the standpoints of the farmer and the merchant no less than from the standpoints of the city banker and the country banker

Repeats Recommendation.

The president continues:
 T again urge on the congress the need of immediate attention to this matter. We need a greater elasticity in our currency; provided, of course that we recognize the even greater need of safe and secure currency There must always be the most rigid examination by the national authori- ties. Provision should be made for an emergency currency The emergency issue should, of course. be made with an effective guaranty, and upon condi- tons carefully prescribed by the gov ernment Such emergency issue must be based on adequate securities ap- proved by the government. and must be issued under heavy tax This would permit currency being issued when the demand for 1t was urgent while securing it's retirement as the demand fell off. It is worth investi- gating to determine whether officers and directors of national banks should ever be allowed to loan to themselves Trust companies should be subject to the same supervision as banks; legisla- tion to this effect should be enacted for the District of Columbia and the terri tories"

LETTER TO PAUL WEBER
Middletown, Del.

Dear Sir: II you should bake bread that
people like better than any other, and at
less cost by the day, you'd have a pretty
good business, wouldn't you?
We have just such business as that in
paint; gallon goes further than any other
gallon of paint in the country-that's
bread at less cost by the day; but the diff
ferencs isn't SO small as it is in bread.
And a job wears longer-that's bread at
less cost by the year. People hate to
paint; it costs money to paint; and they
hate the fuss. They like our bread by
the year.
If your bread is better than anybody.
eIse's, and costs less too, you've got a good
trade; for people do like good bread; and
people like money. II doesn't take long
to find-out; give 'em time.
But you can't bake better-than-any
body-else's bread for half the usual price
for breakfast, can you?
Devoe is just such paint as that. The
price by the gallon or loaf is no matter
Count by the day week month year life
time. Devoe is the bread. We hopt
yours is as good.
Yours truly

MANY SUFFERERS
Liver Complaint A By-Word
With Sufferers Here

The liver is much more frequently the
seat OF disease than is generally supposed.
The function it is designed to perform,
and on. the regular execution of which de-
pends not only the general health OF the
body, but the bowels of the Stomach.
Bowels, Brain and the whole nervous sys-
tenn shows its vast and vital Importance
to human health when the Liver is SER
iously diseased, it IN fact not only de-
ranges the vital functions OF the body, but
exercises a powerful influence over the
mind and its operations, which cannot be
easily described. It has so close con-
nection with other diseases and manifests
itself by SO great variety OF systems OF
most doubtful character that it misleads
more physicians, even OF great eminence,
than any other vital organ. The intimate
connection which exists between the Liver
and the Brain and the great dominion
which it exercises over the passions OF
mankind, convince one that many unfor-
tunate beings have committed acts OF
criminal atrocity, or become y hat fools
term hypochrondriacs, simply from a
diseased state of the Liver. More than
three-fourths of the diseases enumerated
under the head of Consumption have
their seat in diseased Liver.
After many years of experience, spec
ialist highly recommended the following
prescription, which he has successfully
used for many years:
Tincture Cinchona Compound, -23oz;
Kastor Compound, l OF; Fluid Extract
Cascara Aromatic, OF. Your family
druggist can prepare you this at small
cost,

LAWS FOOT ON THE TRUSTS

-Four large packing companies
that were fined in the Federal
Courts $15, 900 each for obtaining
rebates on through bills OF lading
from Kansas City to European
points, the cases having been
tried last April, have lost again
on an appeal to a higher court.
The previous judgment has
been sustained by the United
States Court of Appeals, sitting
at st. Paul, Wisconsin. All the
technical objections and points
raised by the defence were
brushed aside, and the court laid
down a rule that "the giving or
receiving of a rebate or conces-
sion whereby property in inter-
state or foreign commerce is
transported at a lower rate than
the one legally fled and publish
ed is a continuous crime, adjudi
cable in any court in the United
States having jurisdiction of any
district through which the trans
portation is conducted"
Il is probable that the packing
companies will carry their case
to the Supreme Court of the
United States, but there is little
reason to believe that there will
be a reversal of judgment. The
decision of the court in Wisconsin
will apply to the cases against
the Sugar Trust and the Standard
Oil Company, which have been
sentenced to pay heavy financial
penalties. All the trusts involved
will doubtless fight to the end, ,as
the decisions of the lower courts,
so far, are shocking to them.
They have been SO accustomed
to seeing everything done to suit
their own fancy that it is hard for
them to..realize that the govern,
ment and the legal machinery OF
the country are larger than
are the trusts. But they may
learn that lesson after awhile.
The enforcement of the law
against rebating strikes blow at
the trusts. The power and
wealth of the latter have been
built upon largely through re-
bates and determinations they
have been enabled TO force from
the railroad companies.-JournaI.
