The Danger Of overdrafts.

New England national banks are in
directly paid a compliment by the con-
troller Of the currency, who reports that
the practice of permitting oyerdrafts IS
n distinct menace to sound banking in
the South and West, while in New Eng
land the evil is at a minimum. The last
report Of the national banks in this
section showed one with an overdraft of
SO and another with an oyerdraft OF
SIS. That was all, while in the entire
country within few years the an
nual overdrafts have mounted as high
as S53,O00,O00. and in the last five years
the lowest year showed S23,000000.
Practically all Of this oyerdraft was in
the South and West.
In this part of the country the over
drawing of bank account is regarded
as a sign OF pending financial collapse
and almost in the light Of Reputation
of a promissory note. 1t is the prac-
tee of all banking institutions in this
section 10 require a deposition to keep
a stipulated minimum balance, and his
failure to do so is likely to result in
the closing of the account This is con-
sideTed good business and that over
drafts are bad business. IL is almost
uncomfortable here how banks are per-
mitted to do business in such loose
fashion as in some other sections. and
the controller Of the currency, who now
is lacking in power TO compel national
banks to cease honoring overdrafts.
should have authority given in by Con-
gress TO take drastic action against in
stitutions tolerating this practice Bos-
ton Globe.

THAT WHICH Numbered WILEY

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. l6.--United

cial congress when he declared he had
every reason TO believe that the same
people who fought DIR. Harvey w. Wiley,
chief of the bureau OF chemistry, We're
now furnishing money to oppose the
movement looking to the establishment
of a national department of health
Senator Owen made a plea for conser-
walton OF the nations health and estab-
lishment of government health bu-
reau. "The United States loses annual
" from preventable causes 100000 peo-
ple,n said Senator Owen. So far as
securing aid from the government was
concerned Senator Owen said he would
rather be fat hog suffering from chol-
era than the mother of large family
in the first stages Of disease, for the
government while prepared to help the
hog, has no bureau TO aid the mother
He asserted that vast sums of money
were being spent by those antagonists
to the idea.
Senator Owens remarks were applaud
ed and a resolution endorsing the move
TO create the proposed department Of
health was presented and read. Action
on the resolution viii be taken later.

ECZEMA REMEDY ALSO
WASHES PIMPLES
AWAY

No remedy that ] have ever sold for
eczema, psoriasis, and all other diseases
of the skin has given more thorough
satisfaction than the d. ID. d. prescrip-
tion for eczema.
A 25c trial bottle can be secured at
once.
My patrons find that D. D. d. not
only gives instant relief to the itching
burning skin, quickly driving out all
the disease germs, but it is also the
most delightful wash for the complex
ion they ever used, Absolutely harm
less and pleasant to use, d. d. ID.
cleanses the skin of all minor impr.
tiles, such as rashes and pimples, over
night and leaves the skin clear and
smooth as that of child.
1t is now generally known that there
is nothing that cah equal d. d. d.
as a household remedy for all skin trou-
bles, no matter what they are.
/, myself, am so fully convinced of
the merits of this wonderful remedy
that we will charge you nothing if the
first full size bottle of d. d. d. does
not make good every claim.
Better drop in and talk it over with
us anyhow.
