the nest gets stronger and stronger

the season, and even then some OF
the grubs never see the light. A
wasps' nest may contain as many
as 10000 wasps, but an average
nest would be about half that num-
ber.
Wasps are such hard working
little creatures that it seems sin

|If the public could feel that $780,

"a wholesome influence and allay the

Wall Street is either directly or

During the past weeks prices for
stocks generally have advanced
more or less sharply and at the
close twelve representatives indus

NATIONAL BANKS DIVIDE BENE-
FITS.
"TNhe trust and savings banks OF
Chicago own over $72000,O00 Of bonds
and during the late panic we were
loaners OF bonds to the national
banks, to enable them to obtain
United States Government deposits.
Our rule was to loan the bonds to
national banks, we receiving, in re-
turn, one-half of the currency that
they received from the Government
as a deposit, and such was the pol
icy adopted by the largest trust and
savings bank of Chicago. Hence,
the benefit Of the currency obtained
from the Government was thus Sc
cured to the trust and savings banks,
and other state banks, as well as to
the national banks.
"The Aldrich Bill makes no provi-
sions for currency to be issued to
state banks. However, as they are
large holders of the bonds. they can
secure their proper benefit from the
Aldrich Bill by furnishing bonds to
the national banks who do not own
them, along lines similar to those
above mentioned. Certainly, the large
state banks of the country should be
provided, In case Of panic, with
emergency currency. as well as the
national banks; and as indicated
above, they can secure the benefit di-

La Grippe Is Epidemic Catarrh

TTHE disease now known MS grip

livery closely resembles n cold, but is
more tenacious in its hold upon the
system and produces more profound dis
turbances.
Grip is in reality epidemic catarrh.
When il once begins 1t spreads over the
country very rapidly.
People do not catch the grip from each
other, but each one catches 1t from the
atmosphere.
Most Effective Medicine Ever Tried
for La Grippe"
Robt. L. Madison, A. NJ, Principal Of
Cullowhce High School, Painter, n. c.,
is chairman of the Jackson County
Board of Education.
He is a writer of occasional verse and
has contributed to number of leading
papers and neutrality-suspicious., edu-
cational and secular.
In speaking of Peruna, Mr.. Madison
says:

Healthy Mucous Membranes.
Those who are fortunate enough to
have perfectly healthy mucous mem.
branes ordinarily do not catch the grip.
The mucous membranes lining the
nose, throat and lungs, when in n
normal state, are an effectual barrier
against the invasion of grip.
But, If there happens to be the slight
est catarrhal arrangement of the
mucous membranes, then the victim be.
comes an easier prey to the grip.
This in part explains why some peo-
pie get the grip, while others do not.
The rational thing to do is to keep the
system free from catarrh. In attempt
ing TO do this most people have found
Peruna to be invaluable.

During An epidemic of grip Peruna
should be used. The doses recon-
mendeG on the bottle are sufficient.
After the grip has once been acquired,
DR.. Hartman recommends the use of
Peruna in teaspoonful doses every hour
during the acute stage, after which the
directions on the bottle should be fol-
lowed.
Experience has shown that the people
who use Peruna as remedy for grip
generally recover sooner and are less
liable TO the distressing and long-con-
tinued aftcr-effects of the grip.
When Peruna has not been used dur
ing the course of the grip and the patient
finds himself suffering from the after
effects of this disease, a course of Peruna
should be rcsorted to.
