FINANCE BILL

The democratic currency bill in
troduced In the house by John Sharp
Williams is a measure that comes
nearer meeting the needs OF the
people than either the Aldrich or
Fowler bills Like these, however,
It might be amended In some re-
spects to advantage. II provides for
the issue of asset currency by the
government 20 meet emergencies up
on deposit by any national bank of
acceptable state or municipal bonds
with any subtreasury. The bill also
provides for the protection OF depos-
itors In national banks by taxing
average deposits. an amount SO small
that II will work no hardship on
any one. The fund raised from this
tax Is to be used for the payment OF
deficiencies resulting from bank fall
ures. This feature of the bill Is In
line with Bryan's plan and seems to
be the most pFactlcal method or pro-
lection yet proposed It combines
convenience with safety and would
result in the state banks demanding
similar legislation for the protection
OF their depositors. The one danger
Gus feature of the plan Is the liabil-
ity OF dishonest bankers taking adj
vantage OF the law to swindle and
speculate with the funds of the de-
posltors; but a stiff Imprisonment
clause guarding against such things
would have the effect OF cuTbing, II
not entirely eliminating the danger
Taken as a whole the bill Is superior
to either OF the others.

sprains occur most frequently at the
wrist and ankle joint They should not
be made light of, for If neglected their
results may be permanent Put the
joint in such a position that 1t will

hot as can be borne, gradually increas-
ing the temperature for half an hour,
then apply hot cloths for another half
hour and finally a moist bandage, keep
ing the part elevated. Massage is USE
full later, and when the swelling goes
down the joint should be supported by
either a rubber bandage, adhesive
straps or a plaster of paris splint.

Matter Of overeatins.
II Is the systematic practice of civil
lized people to thwart, pervert. defy
and then abuse their Appetite with
lamentable consequences Let me
briefly describe what this admirable
guide Of ours will do for us II 1t be
given a chance.
The appetite of the properly brought
up child Is simply invaluable. A child
needs a great deal Of sugar, and If its
appetite for this substance be regard
ed as reasonable and not a symptom
of original sin the child will take jupt
so much sugar as 1t needs, neither
more nor less, and will not gorge itself
with sweets when 1t gets a chance.
am not talking at random, for
observe daily in a small child of my
own, and 1t Is the experience Of all
parents endowed with sufficient sense.
The food which the child dislikes, such
as fat, Is the food which the childs
stomach has the most difficulty In d.
costing.
In adult life, If the appetite be not
cheated by the cook, it Is our constant
mentor and guide and friend. When
we are taking much exercise 1t Is
abundant When we take little exer-
else 1t diminishes. as 1t should.
As old age comes on much less food
Is required and appetite corresponding
" dimlnishes. In short. at every pc
Rod Of life and in all circumstances a
properly respected appetite will guide
us In the fashion for which appetite
was designed.
But we are much too clever to be run
by our instincts. are we not? We de-
prive the child Of the sugar which II

When our own appetltes fail we new
or dream Of asking ourselves whether
this Is a morbid failure due to illness
or is q normal diminution telling uG
that we do not need food at present
or that we are not In a at state al
the moment to digest It.
When warm weather comes most Of
us use every device of cookery in or
der to produce an artificial appetite
which we will then satisfy. There
after we will complain OF the heat. Blu
since we have just piled unnecessary
fuel on the furnace. can we wonder
that we find hot weather oppressive?
Then, as the years go on and we OBJ
tain more leisure and free cash, per
haps we are liable to devote ourselves
more and more to the pleasures Of thu

mote that hunger which Is the beS

The Monkey Wrench.

The editor once had occasion to look
up the origin Of the name monkey
wrench In response to the request of
a young friend of his who, quite nat
urally, could not understand what con-
nection there could be between a
wrench and a monkey. Unless you
have made the same search you would
be surprised to hear how long 1t took
to get the information. Dictionaries
and encyclopedias were consulted in
vain. but n well informed mechanic
at last answered the question. II
seems that the wrench was invented
by a man named Charles Monckey
and It was at first called a "Monckey
wrench" but the CO was dropped aft
er a time. and it became plain mon
key wrench. Chicago News.

This clothes drainer is placed in the

are grasped and the drainer lifted

then held over the top of the wash
boiler a few moments to allow the drip

A Single magpIe IN Spring
Foul weather win bring.

Tnefe ID an OiO saying III hnBldnn
that
A single maybe in spring
Foul weather will bring.
Like many other familiar sayings,
this is founded on close observation
of the habits Of the birds. Their in
stinct tells them when a storm is COM
ing, and one stays on the nest to pro-
tect the eggs or the young, If they
have been Matched. while the other
goes Off in search Of food. In good
weather both birds go on the search.
Sea gulls fly to the land during a
storm not because they are afraid OF
It, but because the fishes, on which
they live principally, leave the surface
of the water while the storm lasts and
60 below. The gulls must have some
thing to eat. however, so they fly to
the land and feed on the worms and
larvae that the rain drives out Of the
ground. Petrels, on the contrary, fly
out over the sea during a storm be-
cause they feed on the insects that
are to be found In abundance about
the spray of the waves.

The close was at practically the lowest level of the day.

SUBSTANTIAL GAINS MADE

New York, March 12.-There was inter, mittent and spotty strength in the stock market today, but it was not compar- able to the aggressive upsweep of prices which occurred yesterday. The volume of the market was decidedly diminished also The sustaining force of upward movements in special stocks was taken advantage of for profit taking, which showed itself on every occasion when an Advance was getting fairly under way Some of the factors which were of use in lifting prices yesterday had lost some Of their influence today and there was a residue of damaging effect coming over from the previous day from some un- digested factors. One of these was the setting on foot by instruction of the President of an investigation by the bu- reau of corporations of stock trading with the announced purpose of finding a way to penalize marginal operations in stocks. The attitude adopted amongst the stock exchange membership towards this subject is that the stock exchange itself has nothing to fear from a revela- ton which would be made of safeguards and securities behind obligations assumed in the regular stock exchange procedure and the dominant rule of strict problty in the conduct of brokerage commission business in stocks.
 There is no disposition in stock market circles to deny the evils of the bucket shop type of operations, against which. in fact, the stock exchange interests always have waged an incessant war fare. There Is recognition also of the discreditable side of occasional fragrant manipulation of prices and of plunging with the proceeds of bank loans. But these are evils which the stock exchange membership disclaims responsibility for, or indeed power to prevent. Against this influence in the market was the con- tinued> stress laid upon report that a message from the President was to be forthcoming shortly which would favor permission to the railroad companies to advance their freight charges as meas
