Postal SAVINGS Banks.

1 again renew my recommendation
for postal savings banks, for deposit
ing savings with the security OF the
government behind them. The object
is to encourage thrift and economy in
the wage-earner and person of mod

aggregate vast sums of money would be
brought into circulation through the in

The commercial and material prog
ress of the 20 Latin-American republics
Is worthy of the careful attention of
the congress. The International Bureau
of the American Republics is doing
useful work In making these nations

us. and in acquainting them not only
with US as a people and with our pur-
poses towards them. but with what we
have to exchange for their goods.

prised and alarmed when he followed

to make himself generally obnoxious.
After going half a block, the girls

taurant. the fellow again made him APP
pearance. not knowing that the girl
had 'phoned to her father, or that the
father was then on the lookout.
But he Immediately had reason to
know. because the father had him by

whipped cur did he save himself
from further harm. He was dismissed
with this warning: IF you ever modest
my daughter again. I will kill you as

BEAUTIFUL HAIR.
From a Home-Made Tonic.

Every woman desires beautiful hair
and a good tonic is just as much a
necessary adjunct to the toilet as Is
soap or tooth powder. But good halr
tones are expensive. Here is a recipe
for a homemade preparation that will
give as good or better results than the
highest priced ready-made tonics Mix
half a pint of alcohol with half a pint
of water, add an ounce of Beta Quinol.
Simply shake them we'll together and
your tonic is ready for use. 1t you
prefer you can use pint of imported
bay rum instead of alcohol and water.
Reta ouinol used daily will give vital
ity. health and attractiveness to the
hair. Any woman who appreciates
the value of luxuriant, soft and glossy
hair cannot afford to be without this
almost magical quinine hair tonic
Any druggist will sell you the Beta
Quinol and alcohol or bay rum.
