Deposits Absolutely Free from Out
side Interference.
Minneapolis Journal
There is one feature Of the postal saw
ings bank law to which little attention has
been paid, but which in practice is likely
to prove Of considerable social service. Thst
is the provision of the law which makes
the deposits OF married women and children
free from the interference or control Of
anyone save the depOsitor.
To many a woman whose earnings are
Communicated by a brutal and drunken
husband, TO many a minor over whose
meagre wage the law gives worthless father
full control, the postal savings bank Will
offer its aid for the accumulation Of IL
nancial Independence. 1t will help put an
end 10 what has apty been called the
padrone system that obtains in too many
poor families, whereof everybody works
but father"
There sim survive in our laws many
traces OF the primeval notion that women
and children are chattels and the absolute
property OF the head OF the family. some
OF our states are more medieval than others
In the provisions OF their codes, but none
Is so backward as England, where the
property right Of the man in his wife and
all she has still endures with little change.
But whatever the laws Of the various
states. deposits IN postal banks Will be

President Tafts Good Example.

The Treasury department reports that
81, 10000 has been saved in the last year
by economies in administration, and that
further economies are planned which will
annually save 81, 100000 more. President
Taft has shown the country that the
government can be run as we'll as 1t
has been run at a decidedly lower cost.
His practical demonstrations in the art Of
administration ought to spur congress to
efforts at rational retrenchment in all leg
islation involving public expenditure.

Fat Reducing Ideas Are
Proven Natures Best

Fat is food turned into the wrong
kind of material for the body. In
stead of the blood taking up the food
we eat and giving IL to the body in
the form of good, hard, sound flesh,
nerve and bone, fat is thrown into the
tissues and is packed around the
organs and beneath the skin. This at
last tears down all the vital forces of
the system and destroys not only
manly health and comeliness, but like
wise results in death. The sure way
and the best way is to take a Mar
mola tablet after each meal. You may
then eat what you Will, and when
you will, and the stomach and diges-
tive organs will turn the meal into
the very kind of nourishment you
most need. Fat is stopped at once
and the fat you have is removed in
a way that nature herself suggests,
at the rate of from IL to Is ounces
per day, and there are no flabby rolls
of skin and deep wrinkles left to re-
mind you of the days when you were
fat. Every druggist sells these tab
let's, which are made after the famous
MarmOla Prescription. They are harm
less, but thousands prove that they do
reduce fat just as we say they do.
If you can't buy them from your drug
gist or you do prefer send IS cts, the
price of a case, to The Marmola Co.
2Sl Farmer Bldg. Detroit. Mich, and
they VIII send same to you by return
mail in a sealed and unmarked pack
age.

Strong Support for
Canadian Reciprocity

Senator Cummins Of Iowa in a speech
in Brooklyn last night declared he was
for reciprocity with Canada, but not for
anything that bore the name of reci-
prOcity.
while we are admitting free the
things the farmer SELLS" said he, I'VE
should also admit free some of the
things which the farmer buys. The
objection have to the arrangement is
not that it Is too free, but that it is
not free enough"
Col. Theodore Roosevelt, in a speech
at Grand Rapids, Mich, in which he
spoke out for direct election Of Sena-
tors. spoke out strongly in support of
the Canadian agreement.
Senator Hepburn of Idaho spoke last
night before New York silk manufac-
turers. He strongly opposed the agree
ment, and to his surprise was interrupt
ed by vigorous manifestations In sup
port Of the agreement from the manu-
faCturers. -

Twice Pierce Warship
Armor at Battle Range

Projectiles from a high-power service
gun will penetrate the heavy turret and
belt armor of warship at battle
range of approximately five and half
miles or more than 5000 yards, the Navy
has announced, as result of tests made
Friday at the mouth OF the Potomac
river. Ten twelve-inch shells were fired
by the monitor Tallahassee against two
targets of armor plate, from eight TO
eleven inches thick, on the ram Katah-
din 49,.
Each projectile weighed $40 pounds and
had an initial velocit yof 2, 400 feet a
second. The targets were struck twice,
which is considered a fine record at
craftsmanship. The Katahdin will be
returned to the Washington Navy Yard.

TRUST PRICES NOW
WORRY CONGRESS
Question of, Regulating
Them Likely to Be Taken
Up Soon.

Government regulation of prices OF
articles handled by the great inter
state corporations is one of the big
questions confronting Congress, and
will be taken up probably at the next
session.
Even If the next Congress is an extra
session, the question lis likely TO be
considered. The recently added powers
d of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion are apparently adequate to enable
the Government to cope with the ques-
tion of railroad control, but there is
a strong feeling in Congress that a be-
ginning must soon be made in the di-
rection of controlling the great indus
trial corporations.
Oil and Tobacco Cases.
The fact that Supreme Court deci-
sions are drawing nearer and nearer
in the Standard Oil and Tobacco trust
cases is causing some of the members
Of Congress to reflect seriously on
what is to be done after those deci-
SiohS are handed down.
1t is generally expected the Govern
ment is going to win these cases
Then will arise the question whether
a decree of the court against the
Standard Oil Company and the Tobac-
co trust will afford any relief from
the evils which have been alleged =
the result of the existence of these
monopolies. 1t is generally conceded
that the Northern Securities victory
of the Government was barren so far
as actually preventing a community
OF understanding among the railroads
which James J. Hill sought to com
bine through the Northern Securities
Company. The question is whether
dissolution of the Standard Oil Com
pany would be any more effective.
Power to Fix Prices.
One suggestion seriously made in
Congress is to give the Government the
power to fix the prices of the articles
sold by concerns that are in the nature
Of monopiles. Little doubt exists this
question will have to be threshed out
when the subject Of national incorpora-
tion or federal licensing is again raised.
Throughout this session of Congress
this question has been kept in the back
ground. Scarcely an alluSiOn to II has
hecn heard. A number Of members of
House and Senate, however. are ponder
ing il over and it will doubtless be one
Of the foremost propositions with which
a Democratic House will have to
Wrestle.

 Sues to Recover $200,000
 Mrs. Fanny Lockwood of Greenwich has brought suit against D. Lucille Lockwood of Ridgefield, by which the latter is enjoined from transferring a considerable property in her posses sion which the court is asked to con- vey to the plaintiff. As the defendant is attached for $275,OO0 the amount of property in dispute is conservative Lockwood says in her pleading that she was appointed executrix of the estate of her husband, the late Han ford Lockwood, who died in 1896, leav- ing a considerable estate. The plain tiff is the mother of William F. H.
 
 in Dec 1895. Mrs. Lockwood says that she had the utmost trust and confidence in the wife of her son. After the death of her husband there were family conferences and at the suggestion of her son and daughter in-law she was prevailed upon to de- liver to the defendant certain papers, deeds and documents, for which there was no consideration, and made on the promise of the defendant to re- assignSor reconvey them back to her. The plaintiff says she is over 80 years old and not we'll versed in business matters. The plaintiffs son and his wife have separated. Some of the items of the property have come into the possession of her son and have been reconveyed back to the plaintiff. But there remains in the possession of the defendant substantially all of the property so conveyed which, is over the value of $200,00 The de- fendant claims that she is the bene- ficia1 owner of the property and re- tains full possession. The plaintiff asks the court to have all the deeds and papers reconveyed to her.
