sale OF the stock went the control.
The argument was that this stock
furnished splendid and safe in
vestment for the poorer people.
Meantime, the marvellous growth
of the Bank of the United States
stimulated an era of the widest
bank exploitation. Everybody want
ed to ownu bank stock, and nearly
everybody wanted to start bank.
The owners of these mushroom
banks joined with the big banks of
New York, Philadelphia and Bos-
ton to prevent the extension of the
charter of the United States bank
when it expired in 1911. They sue
ceeded in killing it, but only on the
plea that since the United States
had sold it's stock in the bank the
institution was largely owned by
foreigners.
So the first central bank was
killed because 1t had passed out of
the hands Of the government.
During the next five years the
wildcat banks absolutely disorgan-

So 1t was that in 1916 the United
States bank was chartered.
But this was privately owned and
was controlled by the big banking
interests of the country. The result

Hamilton organized the treasury

The friends of the two banks who

thus wiping out the present deficit.
In general it is the purpose of the
treasury officials to adopt new de-
signs for different denominations
and classes of paper money that are
simpler and more artistic than the
present ones. IL is the feeling of
the present designs are altogether
too elaborate, with too much scroll
work, etc. More plain surface, they
believe, would greatly improve the
appearance of the bills. Many new
precautions are to be taken against
counterfeiting.
Ex-President McKinley's portrait
already is carried on bank notes of
certain denominations and therefore
will hardly be used TO decorate the
government issues. The portraits of
other deceased presidents and prom
inent Americans, however, may be
looked for, bearing in mind that
they will appear upon all classes of
currency of an equal denomination,
whether treasury note, silver certih-
Gates, gold certificates, or greenback.
Change in Size Causes Concern.
The matter of change in the size of
the notes is giving the most con-
cern, for IL is realized that If this
takes place the issues of bank notes
eventually will have to conform. In

SUMMER HAIR DRESSING
Partisan Sage Cools the Scalp and
Removes Unpleasant Odors.

The disagreeable and repulslve
odors that come from the hair in
summer are caused by dandruf.
Dandruff is caused by microbes
which are hard to kill. but which
can be killed by Partisan Sage, the
quick-acting, money-back hair tonic.
Today it is unnecessary for any
man or woman to have dandruff.
Dandruff can never be cured until
the small, aggravating and indom-
liable dandruff germ is conquered
and destroyed.
And millions of dandruff germs
have been destroyed, thanks to the
great scientist and dermatologist
who gave TO the world Partisan Sage,
the only real dandruff cure and hair
grower the world has even known.
If you have dandruff, Partisan
Sage will cure you in two weeks, or
your money back.
But besides Kidding the scalp of
dandrun, Partisan Sage is guaran-
teed to stop falling hair and Itch
ing of the scalp. II keeps the scalp
cool and clean in summer II is not
a dye. II is a prime favorite with
women of refinement IL makes the
hair soft, lustrous and beautiful in a
week. and is not sticky or greasy.
