POSTAL SAVINGS IN ENGLAND.
Bank Officials Have Many GFiev-
anceS Against DepositOrs.

- esN@A0s-A htsBDHAAOEhs
From the London Daily Mail
The growing habit OF using the post
Office savings bank as purse-paying
in a shilling to-day and drawing 1t out
a few days Afterwards only one Of
the grievances which the officials have
against many Of the depositors. The
official view or this misuse of the bank
was given yesterday.
ThoughtIessness and careiessness on
the part Of many depositors IS another
subject Of complaint The fact that
twenty-five clerks are engaged at the
Office az West Kensington In tracing
missing and lost deposit books indicates
that the authorities have ground for
their complaint
Can you wonder that the average
cost OF each Of our transactions Is sgd ="
said a high official yesterday, when
you take into account the expense en-
tailed in the upkeep Of so large staff
for what should be so trivial q purpose
Savings bank deposits have wandering
careers, even the very smallest Of them.
When a depositor at Little PedlingtOn
lodges a shilling with the local post
Office the clerk makes out a form and
sends 1t by post 70 the accountant gen
erals branch in London. There some
l5,0C0 accounts are kept, representing the
receipts at each Of the post-cfices In
the country. The totals received every
day at each branch are recorded by the
accountant generals STAFF. and then each
deposit form. together with the deposit
book. is passed on 20 US.
In this building we have a clerical
force OF 200. In some connection,
either as bookkeeper or correspondent,
each man, woman, boy, and girl Of our
staff is kept fully occupied with part Of
the many thousand transactions We com
plete daily. The trouble is that a shiIl-
ing deposit entails exactly the same
labor as one for s., and as the post
Office charges Us a fixed rate per trans
action the actual outlay is also Just as
great. Last year the total cost Of the
savings bank was e67s.67S. and that
amount, divided by the number Of
transactions, yields the average cost Of

When in distant lands We roam,
Wooing fceting pleasure,

When her loved ones from her part.
Seeking fame or treasure.

Wearing little golden hand.
Loves most sacred token;

Plainly writ as in a book,
or a word that's spoken.
II is in the warmth Of spring.
In the Song the binds all sing.
and in blooming flowers
L. is In the gentle breeze,
Waiting from the southern seas,
Welcome April showers.
II is IN the laughing eyes.
Deep and blue as heavens skies,
When Love ; torch IS lighted
II is in the smiling face,
OF the bride in filmy lace,
When her vows are phghted
II IS in a t0Uch-a tear,
In a smile Of friendly cneer
For some s1Ii in soTDT;

How to Get Rid
Of Catarrh
A Simple, Safe, Reliable

to Try

Those who suffer from catarrh know
It's miseries. There il no need of this
sufferlng- You can get rid of it by q
simple, safe, inexpensive, home treat
ment discovered by DR.. Blosser, who,
Tor over thirty-five years. has been
treating catarrh successfully.
His treatment is unlike any other.
1t Is not 4 pray, douche, salve, cream,
or inhaler, but is a more direct and
thorough treatment than any Of these.
1t cleans out the head, nose, throat
and lungs SO that you can again
breathe freely and sleep without that
stopped-up feeling that all catarrh
sufferers have. 1t heals the diseased
mucous membranes and arrests the
foul discharge, SO that you will not
be constantly blowing your nose and
splitting. and at the same time it does
not poison the system and ruin the
stomach, as internal medicines do.
If you want to test this treatment
without ccSt, send your address to DR..
j. W. BlosSer, 7eS Walton Street. At
lanta, Ga, and he will send o by re-
turn mail enough of the medicine to
satisfy you that it is all he claims 1T
