BLOOD DISEASES
CONTAGIOUS TROUBLES

Contagious Blood Poison more
thoroughly perueates the system than
any other disease. Its infectious virus
contaminates every corpuscle and
tissue of the circulation, and for this
reason its symptoms are of a varied
nature. When il enters the blood it
is but a short time until the mouth
and throat begin to ulcerate, the skin
becomes spotted, rashes and eruptions
appear on the body, sores and ulcers
break out, the hair falls, and fire.

which simply shut the poison up in
the system should be avoided, for when
such treatment is left off the old dis
case will break out again, often worse
than before. S. S. s. cures Contagious
Blood Poison permanently, and it does
so because it thoroughly purifes the

This $4,000 cannot exactly be call
ed tangible assets, however, since one
of the stockholders, Perry Davis, of
Moline, has absolutely refused to
treat with the receiver and has not
accepted his share of either the first
or second dividends, explained Reeoiv-
er Kerns Since the entire share due
Mr.. Davis will have to come out of
the remaining assets, and since there
will be necessary expenses, Mr.. Kerns
estimates that the third dividend will
be composed of total sum of posi-
bly, $4,000. Il hope to pay between
10 and IL per cent in the final settle
ment," said Mr.. Kerns today.
When the affairs of the association
passed into the hands of the receiver
there were 10 so-called matured stock
holders with which it was, necessary
to treat Nine of these realized the
situation in which the association had
been placed and accepted the settle
ment offered, the basis of settlement
being the same as that offered the
holders of unmatured stock.
Take Case to Court.
Mr.. Davis is a nOlQOut ana chances
are his case will be aired in court be-
fore final settlement can be made,
says Mr. Kerns. 1t is said that asso-
citation members acquainted with, the
situation are backing the receiver in
his determination to give Davis no
better settlement than other received.
Davis held stock valued at $5,359.50,
and will not accept the S5,227.06 of
fered him by the association. Those
in charge of the affairs of the bank
rupt concern are as determined as Da-
Wis, and legal activity will begin just
as soon as the receivers attorney is
able to attend to business matters.
There are a number of outstanding
real estate loans, but 1t is expected
that a number of borrowers, who have
thus far refused to settle, will do so
before Dec. 1. Foreclosure proceed

.ATTELL AND MCFARLAND
FeatherWeight and Lightweight Will
Give Exhibition In New York
City Next Week.
(Heraldl Specially

New York, Dec. 16-Fight follow
ers in the metropolis are looking for
| ward to a genuine Christmas treat
next week, when Abe Attell, the game
little champion of the featherweight
class, will mix it up before one of the
local clubs in a ten round bout with
Packey Mcfarland, one of the ac-
knowledged topnotchers in the light
weight division. Having exhausted
the entire featherweight directory
from A to q, Champion Attell has ex-
pressed his intention to wade his
way through the lightweight class
rather than to remain idle, for idle
ness has never been to the liking of
Foxy Abe"
The weight limit for the coming
contest is fixed at 1875 pounds four
hours before the gong sounds. Attell
will therefore give away about twelve
pounds, for he will not weigh more
than 1885, while McFarland's avoirdu
pois will probably total 136 when he
steps into the ring. Despite this ad-
vantage which Mcfarland will have
in the matter of weight, Attell is con-
fident of his ability to defeat the
Chicagoan.

view to obtaining at first-hand the
opinion of the farmers of Canada in
regard to the tariff and other ques
tons of Importance to the agricultu,
raj interests, the members of the Do
minion government and parliment to-
day gave hearing to a delegation OF
over five hundred representatives OF
the organized farmers of the country
The conference was held in the cham
Der of the House of Commons. The
extraordinary public interest attached
to the conference was evidenced by
the fact that the galleries were filled
long before 10 o'clock, the hour fixed
for the hearing to begin. Represent
atives of newspapers in all parts of
the Dominion were present.
Among the agricultural organiza-
tons represented. at the hearing were
the grain growers associations of
Manitoba, Alberta and Saskatche-
wan, the organized farmers and dairy
men of Ontario and Quebec, and the
fru growers of the Maritime Prov
inces The Canadian Council of Agri-
culture and the Dominion Grange
We're represented by many of their
officials and leading members.
The chief requests presented to the
conference were five in number,
as follows:
The placing Of manufactured arti-
cles used by farmers on the free list.
Government ownership of a railway
line to Hudson Bay
The establishment of a chilled
meat trade in Canada to foster a
greater export business.
The passing of a, law to permit the
formation of cooperative societies.
Government ownership of terminal
elevators at Fort William and Port
Arthur
The foregoing, in the opinion of the
farmers organizations, represented in
a general way the chief points of the
program which the government should
adopt with a view to furthering the
best interests of the several million

CANADIAN FARMERS
WANT RECOGNITION

I persons engaged in the agricultural in
dustry in Canada. The details of the
program are left to be worked out
later, with such notifications relat-
, ing to the tariff and trade preference
as may be found necessary
A policy of reciprocity in natural
products and timber, and free trade
in agricultural implements with the
United States would, it is urged, prove
great boon to the Canadian farmer,
both as to buying and selling, as it
would enable him to get his nipple
ments and farm equipment cheaper,
and to sell his wheat for more, as
the western farmers claim the prices
of wheat in the Minneapolis market
range considerably higher than the
price in Winnipeg.
In regard to the proposed Hudson
Bay railway, the farmers are emphati-
cally in favor of government construc
ton, ownership and operation of the
line, believing that private ownership
would result in monopoly that
would be hurtful to the interests of
the public
The establishment of chilled meat
trade in Canada and the passing of a
law to permit the formation of CO.
operative societies are matters that
have long been advocated, particular
ly by the western farmers, in the
belief that the entire country would
be greately benefited thereby.
The western grain growers con-
slider the demand that the terminal
elevators at Fort William and Port
Arthur, which form the outlet from
the west to the seaboard by way of
the great lakes, be taken over and
conducted as public utility, as one
of the most important items of the
entire program. They allege that the
present system of private ownership
and operation constitutes a natural
monopoly which has proven detri-
mental to the interests of the public,
through the mixing of inferior grades
of wheat with the better samples.

GUARANTY LhW OA TRIEL
SETTLEMENT OF KANSAS BANKS
 AFFAIRS BEING WATCHED.
First Opportunity to Show Practical Workings.

Abilene, Kan, Dec. 6.-The practi- cal working of the Kansas bank guar anty law is being observed with in- terest here in the settlement of the Abilene State bank affairs by State Bank Commissioner Dolley. This is the first bank failure in the state since the new law went into eff feet. Before Commissioner Dolley came here and took charge the bank officials were paying out $5 each day to each depositor and good many of the small depositors were paid off in this way.
 This plan was discontinued when the state took charge of the bank, and to each depositor was issued a certifi- cate, guaranteed by the state and bearing six per cent interest. This rate does not apply to certificates of deposit held against the bank. On these the rate is three per cent, the highest rate that any Kansas bank is allowed to pay.
 The troubles of the Abilene bank were caused by the defalcations of it's cashier, John A. Flack. Since he went away the directors of the bank have seized some property he left be- hind and turned the proceeds in. Then there is an $S,000 bond to be collected from the sureties of Flack and $l5,000 of collaterals.
 There is $350,000 in the Kansas bank guaranty fund, but this will not be touched until all other resources are exhausted. In this case it will not be necessary to touch the state fund, for the stockholders of the bank are abundantly able to make up the deficit when all available assets have been turned in.
 The amount of the shortage was $155,000 Of this amount $1O0,000 has been raised and visible assets not yet realized on will greatly reduce the deficit. The bank had about 800 de- positors, and 400 of these have been paid off.
 Although this is the first tryout of the new law, it happens that the af- fairs of this bank would have been settled about as we'll without the law for the directors, in addition to their double liability, gave their joint notes fer $40, ,000 as guarantee, and this amount will be more than ample to pay liabilities in full.
