lNGs BANKS
Economic Value Of Postal
Savings Institutions.

In transmitting a report describing
concisely the two classes OF savings
banks which are maintained under
the laws OF France, Consul.G General
Frank II. Mason. OF Paris, writes:
In view Of the existing financial
conditions in the United States and
the recognized im portance OF postal
savings banks In encouraging economy
and confidence in the stability OF the
government on the part OF the large
class Of small depositors, 1t is believed
that the following facts concerning
the long established aud successful
French system may have timely in
terest:
The steadincss OF French finances
and the general uniform prosperity Of
the people outside OF HOod-devastated
districts In the south have recalled
attention during the present financial
disturbances In America to the French
monetary and banking systems, and
particularly to the important and
beneficial role which Is playe by saw.
ings banks In this country.
The French peasants and artisan
have been known for many genera
lions as the most frugal, Industrious,
and intelligently thrifty of European
working people. Their patient indus
try, their love for the soil and for
their various handicrafts. and their
scrupulous care Of their savings form
the foundations OF the prosperity OF
France. The French savings bank
system reflects so accurately these at.
tributes that it forms an instructive
object lesson In time like the present.
Savings banks In France are OF two
classes: (a) Postal or Government
banks, which are established through.
out the country and are under the di.
rect management and control OF the
national government, and 10y munich.
pal and private savings banks, which
are controlled by municipalities and
private firms, chartered and held &C
countable to strict laws similar to
those which are enforced in severa
States In a merica.

The Recall Of Ambassador Aoki.

When It become known that, on the
eve OF the departure Of our battleship
fleet for the Pacific, the japanese
Viscount A0ki, had been
recalled by his government, there was
much nervous apprehension evident
not only 10 some Of the journals OF our
own country, but quite generally 10
the press OF Europe as well, lest this
recall presage really dangerous ten
sion In the relations between the two
countries. That this feeling was en-
tirely unjustitied, however, soon be-
came evident when the japanese
Ministry Of foreign affairs publicly
explained that Ambassador Aoki was
recalled at his own revuest because
Of purely personal and home reasons"
and, further, when the appointment
was semi.o fflcially announced Of his
successor, Baron Kogoro Takahira.
The former japanese Minister at
Washington and incumbent during
the trying days Of the Russo Japanese
war Is entirely persona grata to the
American Government aud the Amer
ican people. He Is we'll known In this
country as diplomat Of native gifts
and excellent experience, and a firm
believer In the necessity for close
friendship between his own country
and the United States.

Now Is Best
Time to Take
Directions To Prepare
Home Mixture.

A well.known authority on Rheu.
matlsm gives the readers of large
New York daily paper the following
valuable, yet simple and harmless,
prescription, which sny one can easily
prepare at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one.half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking well In bottle, and
take a teaspoonful after each meal
and at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip-
ton pharmacy at small cost, and, be.
ing OF vegetable extraction, are harm
less TO take.
This pleasant mixture, II taken reg.
ularly for few days, Is said to over.
come alm0s. any case Of Rheumatism.
The pain and swelling, II any, dimin-
ishes with each dose, until permanent
results are obtained, and without in.
juriDg the stomach. While there are
many so-called Rheumatism remedies,
patent medicines, etc, some Of which
do give relief, few really give perma-
nent results, and the above will, no
doubt, be greatly appreciated by many
sufferers here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of this
neighborhood elicits the Information
that these drugs are harmless and can
be bought separately, or the druggists
here will mix the prescription for our

Postal Savings Banks.

The postal savings bank system was
created under law enacted on April
8, 1881, and the returns Of 1882 show
that during that year the number OF
banks established and In operation
was 6,024, with 21l,5S0 deposit ac-
counts remaining open on December
81. The average sum Of these deposits
was s43.42, and the whole amount Of
deposits, including interest, In all the
banks at the close OF the year was
90. ls7,1le.
The latest com plete statistics now
available are those which record the
operations Of 1904, at the close OF
which year the number OF postal saw.
ings banks In France had increased to
1888, with 4,345, 446 depositors and de.
posits-including intesest due to de-
positors on December amounting
to $229, 15s, 290 As a measure Of the
serene prosperity Of rural and indus.
trial France, IL may be stated that
these deposits have steadily increased,
until they reached on October 81, 1907,
the sum of s267 ,5l9, 423, an increase Of
s3s, 1891, 1888 within a period Of thirty
four months.
The postal savings banks pay inter.
est on deposits at the rate Of y per
cent (cOmpounded), and the amount
OF each cash deposit account Is limited
to 1900 francs (s2s9.5O). When de.
positor's accorn mt exceeds that amount
the bank will purchase "rentes," or
national 3 per cent bonds, with the
surplus, keep them on deposit, collect
the coupons when they fall due and
credit the interest so received to the
account OF the depositOr The total
deposits Of 1904 In postal savings banks
aggregated sss, l44.4l6 The character
OF the depositors may be inferred from
the fact that the average amount o.
each deposit account on December 81
was s52.79.
Municipal and Private Banks.
