NEVER ANY RETURN
A Complete Cure of Kidney Trouble
and Dropsy

Mrs. L. l.. Babers, 1915 Terry St.
Houston, Texas, says: 81 hold q
very high opinion of Doans Kid
ney Pills and with good reason, for
three years ago they cured me of
kidney trouble that had clung to
me for several years. There was
a dropsical swelling of my feet and
limbs in addition to other symp-
toms of kidney complaint, and al
though I used various remedies, l
was not helped until l procured
Doan's Kidney Pills. Two boxes
of this preparation cured me and l
have never had the slightest return
of my trouble. l have recon-
mended Doan's Kidney Pills to
many people who have questioned
me about them. and l know of sew
eral cases in which they have done
the same good work"

Uncle Sam to Embark in
Banking Business Monday

First and most important of all fol-
the depositor to remember is the
fact that the postal savings bank is
a federal institution. 1t is not gov
erned by state banking laws and,
moreover, depositors in the postal saw
Iings bank place their money there sub
ject to the law which created the pos
tai savings bank and free from the re-
Istrictions as to property rights as out
lined by the vast variety of state laws
governing the rights of minors, mar
ried women, parents, guardians and
Others. ~ Il
Under the act accounts may be open
ed and deposits made by any person
of the age of ten years or more in his
or her own name. This money so de-
posted is free from the interference
as to disposition by parent, guardianl
or creditor. III
A married woman may deposit
money in her own name and keep it

Washington, d. c., Dec. 31.-On New
Years Day Uncle Sam will embark
in the banking business. 1t is the frui
tion of forty years agitation.
At present in the United States
according to the official statistics OF
the office of comptroller of the cur.
rency. there are 1903 savings banks,
an average of one bank for approx
mately every $4,000 inhabitants. In
the great postal system of the United
States there are nearly 10000 Offices
OF all sorts and classes. 1t appealed
to the public that in these postofifces,
large and small, lay the opportunity
for the creation of system of banks
of savings deposit for the millions of
wage earners.
Out OF the act of congress the
trainers of the rules gathered much
that Is OF direct interest to the future
depositors IN the great concern. These
are a few of the features which the
new bank will possess.

wholesome and simple story is one of
the most delightful plays of recent
years. 1t would be difficult to imagine
a prettier scene than that with which
the first act of Polly closes. 1t is
there that the young girl of the circus
world gets her first insight into things
that are higher and better when, as
she first regains consciousness and
realizes her helplessness, the minister
reads to her, at her request. those
memorable lines from the book of
Ruth: "Entreat me not to leave thee

curtain falls and the story is begun.

and draw interest thereon.
The system has been working in
England for more than a half century
and has proved to be of benefit to the
regular banks.
AS has been said before, the de.
posits in the postal savings bank must
be made in sums of one dollar or in
multiples of one dollar. Nevertheless
the saver of pennies and dimes will not
be neglected. To the depositor who
wishes to lay by the pennies, the
lnickels and the dimes, provision is
made by the issuance of stamps which
may be purchased at any postoffice
bank after the system becomes opera
tive. and these stamps win be in prac-

Now just where Uncle Sam expects
to reap a sufficient profit from his pos
tai savings bank to pay his running
expenses for that bank is point which
has caused some curiosity in the minds
of the public. The federal govern

money as fast as it comes in. This
money will be placed in the hands of.
the national banks, which will in turn
pay the federal government a rate of
interest fractionally higher than that
which the federal government will paw

All that the postal savings law de
mands is that the depositor does moi
open more than one account in his owr

The postal savings bank will issue

ings account. This 81 will bear per
cent interest per annum. This in.
Iterest is credited but once year. AS
la general rule, fractional parts of a
dollar will not draw interest. This
feature is true of all savings institu-
|tions.
In this report for the fiscal year
1909-10 Postmaster General Hitchcock
said:
THE total amount of money in the
United States is estimated to be about
SO, ,OOO,0 100000. OF this sum nearly 65
per cent, or about s2,O00,OOO,OOO, is in
the pockets of the people or in various
hiding places--an average of nearly
$S2 per capita of population. There is
every reason to believe that system
of postal savings banks would, to a
great extent, call out these private
hoads and return them to circulation
through the regular banks of the coun-
try. One dollar per capita thus re-
leased would add $9O.00O,O0O to the
volume Of circulating media Five dol
lars per capita would add $3.50, 900 900.
Whatever this practical increase of the
proved to be, add to it the
many millions that the postal savings
banks would prevent from being sent
abroad by foreign-born depositors and
the total will reach magnitude which
may well command attention."
In the four years-1906, 1907, 1908
and 19O9-the United States postal
money orders payable to foreign coun-
tries amount to more than 1912 900, 900.

Hopefulness is a true sign Of great
ness. It means conviction that W
are greater than our troubles, greater
than the world itself. greater than
death, and can hold our own when.
ever it comes. in the universe any.
where and through all eternity. Such
conviction makes man a god. It 10
better than riches or high position.
1t makes a poor man king. A per-
son who constantly fears or worries
is practically an atheist He has. no
faith in himself or any other being.
He does not usually live long. Wor-
ry kills more than whisky; it really
hardens the arteries.
No man has a right to kill his
friends by sad, morose counte-
nance. A long face is a mark of re-
ligion. 1t rs out of date Just now and
forever. sour-looking people should
be shut up in Jail; they are danger

your shoulders. walk erect, and be-
lieve that you own the whole city.
You do 1t as really as anyone else, and
you feel better for the belief. Most
Of our troubles are fear for the future,
only "bogies" which disappear when
you walk up to them. There is q
good time coming. 1t is here already,

To fa1ter would be sin.

CURIOUS EFFECTS OF SCENTS
Penetrating Odors Have Been Known
to Induce Inconsistencies and
Even Death.

There Is no evidence to support the
theory that the smell Of narcissus may
cause influenza. But many strange
cases are on record regarding the ef-
fects of the smell Of flowers.
"A foreign Officer" said a medical
man, lone night went to sleep with q
number of punches of oleander-an
evergreen shrub with red and white
howers-in his bedroom. In the
morning he was found dead. The pun
gent smell of the oleander had
asphyxiated him.
LESS serious is the case of a doc
tor who, after sitting for some time In
a room where there were several
bowls of jasmine, became exceedingly
giddy. He removed the flowers.
whereupon he was himself again at
once.
"A number of oranges in a room has
been known to make a man uncon-
scious. l know also of the case OF
man who, going to sleep in a store
room full of apricots, was discovered
next day in an unconscious condition.
and lay for some time in peril Of his
life"

The New Testament From Memory.

The New Testament From Memory.
Today the Bible is the best men,
orized book in the world, and no doubt
it could be entirely reconstructed from
the minds of its students. One young
woman alone could dictate the New
Testament. She is Miss Leste May
Williams of North Carolina, now 20
years old. Some time ago Rev. J. A.
Grendall, pastor of the local Baptist
church, offered a prize for memorizing
verses of Scripture.
On the day of the award Miss Will
Hams had committed and recited to
the committee 1926 verses of Scrip
ure, covering the entire New Tesla
ment excepting the two genealogies Of
Jesus in the first chapter of Matthew
and the third chapter Of Luke, and in
Guiding liberal selections from
Genesis, Psalms, Ecclesiastes, and
other parts of. the Old Testament. The
New Testament itself contains 1859
verses and 100000 words.
