Il had suffered several weeks
with LaGrippe. Had pains in
my head and eyes. 1t felt as
though there was a heavy weight
on the top Of my head, until it
seemed that my brain would
burst. / was SO nervous that
l could not rest or sleep. When
/ dozed off l would awake with
a sudden jerking of my whole

The after effects of LaGrippe
are often more serious than the
disease, as it leaves the system
in a weakened condition that
invites more serious troubles,
such as pneumonia, etc.

Mr.. Edward II. Brennan. IT, has been chosen
director Of the Central National Bank. His
selection TO this important place is not only an
appreciation Of the worl, done for the institution
by his late father. who for MANY wears was
director of the bank and its president at the
time of his death, but it is RECOGNITION Of the
Younger and rroprcssive business element of
the CITY of which Mr. Brennan. IT, IS one Of
the most striking tyres. LARGE business inter
ests have dew lived uron Mr. Brennan but by
training and natural capacity he is well-htted
for his responsibilities u seems TO us a gooi
idea for the financial institutions of the city to
give recognition to the younger business men.

they are more Interested in the city and its wei

both the bank and Mr.. Brennan upon his cleo

ENGLISH BUDGET AND THE LORDS.

r NCLISH politicians are evidently greatly
disturbed by the budget-the financial
measure-put forward by the Liberal ministry
and passed by the House of Commons The bill
contains many radical features. The Liberal
majority in the House is imposed of mixture
Of old time Liberals, 'Laborites' Socialists anil
Radicals AS prepared under the direction OF
Asquth and Lloyd-Gecrge the budget measure
embcdes many radical changes of a Socialistc
nature.
Speakers at the recent celebration OF the birth
day OF Henry George at Arden, declared that
the most pronounced Single Taxer could not
have drawn up some paragraphs OF the bill to
suit Single Takers better than those prepare
by the English ministry. They regarded it as
long step in advance
OF course, the paragraphs that pleased the
Single Takers are but small part of the bill.
They perhaps sufficient to shcw the general
stenor-o the measure, the move forward as the
liberals call it to make wealth pay a proper
share Of the expenses of government.
The question, however, has been, What will
the House of Lords do with it7 The Lords ar
not likely TO go against popular sentiment. If
they believe the overwhelming sentiment of
the country is for the BILL they will not be
likely to reject it. But the problem is whether
the English are ready for such a measure
The Ministry itself seems to be rather
dubious. The latest story is that the Ministry
has scheme TO call for a referendum vote of
the people en- the measure. The ministers thin,
that II the people at such vote should show
decided preference for the bill, the Lords
would not reject it. Doubtless the Lords them
selves would not be averse to having the test
made. They really want the budget dead and
buried.
The Lords are restless. They have not great
amount Of nerve What they should do, would
be to take course Of instruction from Senator
Aldrch or Speaker Cannon of this country The
Lords could get valuable suggestions from
them.
II Mr.. Aldrich were in England he would
long ago have been a member of the House O
Lords, and perhaps one OF its leaders. Will,
the Lords hesitate he would seize the bill from
the House Of Commons, knock it out of shap,
IN short order, modify it to suit himself, tel
