The Days of Barter are Over

At time traded animals skin for
stone axe, canoe for a certain amount OF labor.
Today there is a medium Of exchange by which all
things are measured You do not express the
value of your horse in terms OF u number of days
labor. Your home represents certain sum OF
money.
Everything is valued by money standard, yet
there is not enough money in the world to do
strictly cash business. 1t is through the help Of
banks that the immense volume OF business is
carried on.
For example, ten men deposit hundred dollars
each in the bank. Not all of them will want their
money at the same time; mey draw his money
in ten days, another in thirty days, and SO
The banker can loan out certain per cent. OF this
money to other who wish to improve stock
their farms, buy new goods for their business or
build homes. This money finds it's way back to
the bank; it is turned over many times, that
the one thousand dollars deposited by the ten men
may do business amounting to ten or twenty
thousand dollars
The entire community is benefited by this system,
made possible only by the bank and it's confidence
in men to pay their obligations.

Two Championship Battles Are on the
Gard at the National Club to-
night and Longon is
Fight Mad.

LONDON, May 24.-Two champion
ship battles are on the card for tonight
at the National Sporting club and all
England has gone fight mad at the
prospect of such a pugilistic carnival
Even the great racing event Of Derby
week is eclipsed in popular interest by
the impending mills.
Greatest interest, of course, attaches
to the endeavor of Sam Langford to
wrest the heavyweight championship
of England from Ian Hague In the
preliminary event Jimmy Walsh, the
Boston fighter will meet Digger Stan
ley in a twenty-round bout at lis
pounds for the English bantamweight
title
Perhaps the most distinguished as
semblage of fistic followers ever gath
cred at the National Sporting club
will witness the double encounter. All
available seats were engaged long ago
and belated applicants are Offering
fancy prices for chance to get peer
at the ring.
Langford's opponent, Ian Hague has
been the sensation of London for a
! year past. He beat Gunner Moir for
! the English title in the first round
with a series of blows, the FIRST OF

(which put the Gunner fiat on the can
vas. Hs handles have endeavored
to instill into him a modicum of sci
ence to cope successfully with the
hard hitting and clever Langford. The
big fellows will battle for a purse OF
$500 and side bet of $500, and the
bantams for purse of $4,000.

pected that the coming trip will net

nearly every actor Of prominence in
the country and will embrace all the
large cities of the east and central
west, will be inaugurated tonight
when the curtain goes up for the mi
tial gambol at the Metropolitan Opera
house.
The purpose of the Gambol is to get
money with which to buy land for a
new club house. The present quar-
tiers of the Lambs in Forty-fourth
street, between Broadway and Sixth
avenue, were acquired only a short
time ago, but so rapid has been the
growth of the organization that a
larger home is necessary.
This years Gambol is the first long
distance one in eleven years. After
tonights performance, the Lambs will
board the special train for a tour of
the kind to which politics has fastened
the name, "whirlwind." They will ap-
pear in New Haven, Boston, Brooklyn,
Philadelphia, Washington, Baltimore,
Pittsburg and Chicago
The membership Of the Lambs club
embraces not only all the principal ac-
tors in America, but also the prOmi-
nent playWrights and composers, most
of the big managers and many lead
ing members of the New York stock
exchange, besides politicians, lawyers
doctors and merchants.
One remarkable feature of the COM
ing Gambol will be the fact that the
theatrical lion and lamb will lie down
together. Abraham L. Erlanger has
personally arranged the bookings;

Confronted by Victim, Man In Won
ans Garb Willis and Confesses.

TACOMA, May 24.-George Hanson,
who was captured by the police in
women's attire last night, confessed
today to being the mysterious Jack
the Hugger," who has been terrorizing
women of the north end for nearly
year past.
Confronted by Miss Margaret Mes
singer and other girls whom he has
attacked, Hanson wilted. He is an
automobile driver 81 years of age, and
married. Scores of women have been
attacked by him. Dressed in fetch
ing costume and being of slight build
and handsome Hanson palmed himself
off for a woman with ease.
After his days work he has been in
the habit of donning his female attire
and promenading the streets. APP
preaching lone women he would grab
them suddenly by the ankle and often
threw them to the sidewalk.
In the sudden gust of surprise his
victims rarely made an outcry. With
out further troubling them, Hanson
would kick his heels in the lair, emit a
Economical eackling laugh and race to
a hiding place. When Hanson found
two or more women with no male pro-
tector he would laugh shrilly, throw
his skirts over his head and run like
deer. He operated almost exclusively
in the aristocratic section of the city
and some of his victims are prominent
in society. On account of the numer-
Gus complaints the police exhausted
every resource to capture the man
even dressing up young men as women
| and having them wander about the
streets in the hope that Hanson would
make an attempt on them and be
captured. He fairly ran into the arms
of Detectives Ashby and Milone a
midnight last night Finding his mis-
take he made a desperate race fol
freedom, but stopped when they brough
| their guns into play. He was dressed
in a couuettish manner, wearing three
petticoats, a blue serge gown and
| fippant sailor hat.
The police believe him to be an un
classified form of pervert.

ner read a paper on Household Con-

Miss Pearl Macdonald, an instruc-
tor from the M. A. c., gave a helpful
and practical talk on Food" She
gave the different elements that
various foods contain. The foods
needed in keeping the body in good
condition. She thought if we were
temperate in our eating we would be
able to take almost any food. If
certain food agrees with us, it is Ill
right to eat 1t, even If it has been
classed with the indigestible. All
vegetables are very nourishing and
IL some didn't like them they could
learn to eat them if they kept try
ing. She thought we could learn to
create an appetite for anything even
If we did not like it. In buying
meat we are apt to call for the fine
cuts; SUCH as surlon, porterhouse,
etc., but If the tougher meat is pre-
pared right, it is more nutritious and
more of a muscle builder. There is
no food value in fruits for they con-
tan mostly water, except bananas,
raisins and dates, which are real
nourishing.
She said the harm in tea and cof-
Zee or cocoa was drinking it too
strong and too much at a time
Methods were given in preparing Diff
ferent foods to make them digestible.
Miss Bell Ram favored the club
with instrumental music while the
question box was being prepared.

thought not because the farmers
have more to do with in getting IN

would grow all right.
How Should Starch be Made SO
When Ironing 1t Will Not Stick to
the Irons?" Miss Macdonald said It
should not be made too thick and
parafin or little kerosene put in
would help.
After a sumptuous supper, includ-
ing ice cream and cake the club adj
journed to meet in June with Mr..
and Mrs. Beckley. a good program
