1t is said that person who would
take this prescription regularly, dose
or two daily, or even few times a
week, would never have serious Kid
ney or Urinary disorder or Rheuma-
tism.
Cut this out and preserve it. Good
Rheumatism prescriptions which real
ly relieve are scarce, indeed, and when
you need it, you want it badly. Our
druggists here say they will either
supply these ingredients or make the
mixture ready to take, if any of our
readers so prefer.

BANKS AND BANKING
MANY DIFFERENT VIEWS
On the Currency Situation by Mem.
> bers Of Congress. financiers
and Others

Concerning the probable action of
the Sixtieth Congress with reference
to financial legislation, Chairman
Fowler, of the House committee ,on
Banking and Currency, said:
There certainly should be some
remedial legislation, and l can assure
you that the members of the committee
on banking and currency will bend
their energies to that end. Bank
liabilities, whether to depositors or
note holders, must be based upon
gold, not upon fluctuating credits.
Expansion is simply increasing the
libilities of bank without a corres-
ponding increase of cash reserves and
this may take place although the re-
serves be in gold coin. 1t is simply a
question of the relation of the liabil-
ity.
A cashiers cheek does not lead to
expansion nor imitation, for the reason
that by the very nature of the in
strument it is sent home for redemp-
tion at once. No bank holds cashier s
check, whether of the weakest or the
strongest bank, as part of its reserves,
but sends it to the bankers as directly
and swiftly as possible for redemp-
tion. A bank issue consisting Of
cashiers checks, payable to bearer,
will always keep the currency of the
country down to the lowest point of
necessity, and yet will always meet
the largest demands of trade and
commerce.
Congressman Cushman, of Washing
ton, in an interview published in one
of the Washington City papers, said:
do not claim that the present money
system of the United States is perfect
and in some particulars l think it
might be improved, but do not join
in this sudden and general clamor
against it. 1t is true that we bave a
good many kinds of money but they
are all good; that is the main thing.
There is good deal of talk about an
elastic currency. Now, elasticity is a
good quality in any commodity, up to
certain point, but not beyond that
point. Whenever buy pair of sus-
penders, I always like elasticity, but
don't want them to stretch 10 much
that they will not hold up a pair of
trousers with absolute security, and
certainty.
Now, I don't want the financial
suspenders of this country 80 elastic
that they wont hold up the monetary
system of the United States. By that
I mean that l don't want to see 50
much elasticity that it will lose its
stability.

A TALK ON FINANCE
WHY IS MONEY CREATED?
To Serve as a Medium Of EXCHANGE,
to Facilitate the Transaction
of Business.

The return to normal condit tions in
banking business may be prompt or it
may be postponed to harmful degree.
Which it shall be depends upon the
people generally more than upon the
bankers and business men. If the
people hide away every dollar on
which they can get their hands and
which they don't Immediately require,
they must expect a postponement.
Money is created to serve as medium
of exchange, to facilitate the trans
action of business. When it is hoard=
ed away in safety deposit vault, or
a tin can, or "sock," it is rot per-
forming a money function. 1t is idle
and, so far as the business world is
concerned, is dead. If $40 is boarded,
there is just $40 less in the country
for the transaction of business. If
100, 900 persons hoard $40 each, ST.
900, 200 thereby passes out of circyla-
tion and there is just 81, 900, 900 less
money with which to carry on trade.
Now, what must be the effect of pol
icy of boarding? A shock to business
and eventually serious reduction. 1t
takes money to do business. If money
is hidden away in idleness, even in
small amounts, by large number Of
persons, the sum total becomes enor-
nous and business begins to gasp for
the life-giving element.
One citizen may say to himself: 81
have $50 here which l can spare. I'll
just put that away" Another may
say the same thing. While their mo-
tive may be self-protection, their act
is injurious to society. as a whole and
they are bound to suffer some of the
consequence of their own act. Let us
suppose that the employees of factory
possessed vague and underlined dread
of business disaster and boarded every
cent of earning they could spare, after
paying for the necessities. From
week to week they would lessen the
amount of money in circulation in the
community. The banks would have
less and less money, although they
would possess the best of securities.
The owner of the factory, let US sup
pose further, went to the banks to
obtain loan to assist in marketing
the products turned out by the emloyes.
The banks would inform the manu-
facturer that, under existing condi-
tions, the money could not be spared.
What would the manufacturer do

Has Done Him Up

When God gives a man wife and
six children, He has done a good deal
for the fellow: But when He gives
him a society woman and poodle
dog, He has done him up. These
society woman look upon children
as nuisance. I have had some society
woman shake hands with me and l
would as soon shake hands with dead
fish tail. l wouldn't give one Of
your sockdarning woman for all the
society woman in the country.
Between cutting off the tops of their
dresses for the ball room and bottoms
for the bicycle, the society woman
will soon have no clothes left.-Sam
Jones.
