II he republican candidate favored
law allowing national banks to
take advantage of state sys tens for
he protection Of deposltors, But
Mr. Taft's hostility to all guaranty
systems is shown in the objection
which he offers.
The proposition is to tax the
honest and prudent banker to make
up for the dishonesty and impru-
dence of others. No one can fore
soc the burden which under this
system would be imposed upon the
sound and conservative bankers Of
the country by this obligation to
make good the losses caused by the
Nreckless. speculative and dishonest
men who would be enabled to Sc
cure deposits under such a system

probably the only benefit would ac-
crue to the Spectator, who would
be delighted to enter the banking
business when it was certain that
he could enjoy any profit that would
accrue. while the risk would have
to be assumed by his honest and
har working fellow"
He even pictures dire disaster and
declares that "if the proposal were
adopted exactly as the Democratic
platform suggests, it would bring
the whole banking system of the
country down in ruin"
As an afterthought he suggests
that a voluntary system might be
tolerated. but as his objections to n
compulsory system apply just as
well to a voluntary system we may

propositions VIII ch he advances.
Let Us take the first sentence.

we had no banking laws at all. ANA
banking was done by private lndi-
v,duals. the honest ana prudent
banker would save the money that
he now pays for enforced examina-
tiOns of his bank, and he could at
times make interest on n part OF the
money which he is now required to
keep in his vault as rigid res rva
But because some bankers are not

bad. II briug difficult TO d.giuoutsh

the voters of the white race gener-

aside their fears and be ready to

If the people will do their full duty

BRAIN POWER
Increased by Proper Feeding.

A lady writer who not only has
done good literary work, but reared
a family, found in Grape-Nuts the
ideal food for brain work and to de-
velop healthy children. She writes:
II am an enthusiastic proclaimer Of
Grape-Nuts as regular diet. l for
merly had no appetite in the morning
and for s years while nursing my four
children, had insufficient nourishment
for them.
unable to eat breakfast felt faint
later, and would go to the pantry and
eat cold chops, sausage, cookies,
doughnuts or anything happened to
find. Being writer, at times my
head felt heavy and my brain asleep.
when l read of Grape-Nuts / be-
gan eating it every morning, also
gave it to the children, including my
10 months old baby, who soon grew
as fat as little pig, good natured
and contented.
II wrote evenings and feeling the
need Of sustained brain power, began
eating a small saucer Of Grape1Nuts
with milk, instead of my usual indi-j
gestible hot pudding, pie, or cakesfor
dessert at night.
i grew plump, nerves strong, and
when I wrote my brain was active
and clear; indeed, the dull head pain
never returned.

Ex-senator stewards Light Luncn'
Ex-senator William NJ Stewart, Of
Nevada, who has been in Washing
ton several weeks, Is weather-b bound
In the National Capital, and prob
ably will remain here until spring.
He likes the severe winter climate,
and at the advanced age of 83 en-
joys nothing more than a brisk con-
stitutional down Pennsylvania Ave
nue.. And he can set pace for a
man half century younger, too.
He is as hale and hearty as when he
first took his seat in the Senate in
1855. Proceedings at the Senate
still interest him, and he is a famil-
lar figure there. His former coll
leagues continually ask him how he
manages to keep so young, but while
the Nevada statesman and financial
expert knows how to do 1t himself
he can't inform others.
The other evening the Senator
strolled down into the business sec
ton, and dropped into Bohemian
cafe much frequented by sporting
and theatrical people. He attracted
immediate attention because of his
distinguished appearance. A friend
hailed him and invited him to join
a little party.

General Demand

- - - =
of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple. pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co.. only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents

Greatest Number Cut.

More lumber was cut in the United
States last year than in any other
year in it's history. The enormous
amount of 37,550,736 board feet
was produced, and the mill vaue of
this was 1921, 151,388. In addition.
there were produced 1855, $780, 900
shingles, valued at $24,155,555, and
1872, 100000 lath, valued at SILL
490,570. On the whole, it is safe
to say that the present annual lum-
Der cut of the United States approx
mates 40 billion feet, and that the
and shingles each year produced is
not less than $700,000,000. These
figures give some idea of how vast is
the lumber industry and how great
Is the demand for its products.
A glance at the kinds of lumber
produced shows very clearly the
passing of white pine and oak, one
the greatest softwood and the other
the greatest hardwood which the for
est has ever grown. Since 1899 the
cut of white pine has fallen off more
than 40 per cent, while that of
white oak has fallen off more than
SO per cent. To-day yellow pine
leads all other woods in amount cut,
while Douglas fir-and this will be
surprise to many-comes second.
Since 1899 the cut Of Douglas FIR has
Increased 1876 per cent. Louisiana
Is the foremost yellow pine State,
with Texas, Mississippi, and Arkan-
sas following in order. Washington
produces by far the geatest amount
of Douglas fir.-Forest Service Cir
