Points to Surrender of Charter of Enid
National Bank.

Fairview, Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 10
Discussing the subject of guarantee of
bank deposits today, William j. Bryan,
Democratic candidate for the presi-
dency, accused the Republican leaders
of congress with having enacted into
law a currency bill in the interest of
the stock market and yet although
they had ample opportunity to do so,
they failed to authorize the national
banks of Oklahoma to take advantage
anty of bank deposits. 1t was with no
little satisfaction that Mr.. Bryan noted
in the morning dispatches the fact that
the Enid, Okla, national bank had
surrendered its charter and come
within the provisions of the state law.
Il do not know, of course. to what
extent the national bnks will surren-
der their charters, said Mr.. Bryan
"Fifty-four national banks took adj
vantage of the guaranty system and
they have found it very profitable for
they have increased their deposits
while the unsecured national banks
have lost in deposits.
Under the ruling of Attorney Gen.
eral Bonaparte they will have to
choose now between remaining ma
tional banks or securing the benefits
of the guaranty system. They will
either have to surrender their charters
or surrender the protection which the
guaranty system gives to their de-
positors. They ought not to be driven
to this alternative. Congress had am
pie time to pass law permitting the
national banks of Oklahoma to take
advantage of this system. The Okla
homa law was enacted in December
and went into operation in February
| and congress was in session for severa
| months afterwards, but while the Re-
publican leaders could find time to put
through the currency bill in the inter-
est OF the stock market they could not

How Took My
Wrinkles Out
After Facial Massage, Creams and
Beauty Doctors Had Failed.
BY HARRIET META.

Trouble. worry and i'll health brought
me deep lines and wrinkles. l realized
that they not only greatly married my
appearance and made me look much
older, but that they would greatly in
terfere with my success, because a
woman's success. either socially or
financially, depends very largely on her
appearance. The homely woman. with
deep lines and burrows in her face must
fight an unequal battle with her younger
and better looking sister
I therefore bought various brands of
cold cream and skin foods and massaged
my face with constant regularity hoping
to regain my former appearance But
the wrinkles simply would not go. On
the contrary they seemed to get deeper.
Next l went to a beauty specialist, who
told me she could easily rid me of nv
wrinkles. l paid my money and took the
treatment. Sometimes thought they got
less. but after spending all the money 1
could afford for such treatment, l found
l still haSsGny wrinkles. So gave I'D in
despair and concluded 1 must carry them
to my grave. One day a friend OF mine
who was versed in chemistry made a sug-
gestion, and this gave me a new idea.
1 Immediately went to work making ex-
periments and studying everything
could get hold of on this subject. After
several long months of almost number
less trials and discouragements 1 finally
discovered a process which produced most
astounding results on my wrinkles in a
single night 1 was delighted beyond ex-
preston. 1 tried my treatment again,
and 10 and behold, my wrinkles were
practically gone. A third treatment
three nights in all-and 1 had no wrinkles
ana my face was as smooth as ever
next onered my treatment to some of nv
immediate friends. who used ii with sur
prts1ng results, and 1 have now decided
to otfer 1t to the public. Miss Gladys Des-
mond of Pittsburg. Pa, writep that il
made her wrinkles disappear in one night
Mrs. NJ. w. Graves of Bridgeport Conn
states: There IS not a wrinkle left: my
friends say l look 20 years younger

Brannock was wearing a suit OF
