BOY BEATS SYSTEM OF BANK
Cleveland Lad Evolves Unique Scheme
to Get Around Rigid Rules and
Deposit Half Dollar.

This is the story OF the boy. the
bank and the system.
The boy came into the bank and
laid half-dollar with his bank book
on the receiving te1ler's window.
1--WE don't receive deposits of less
than a dollar" said the teller.
The boy yielded reluctantly to the
system and drew back But he did
not leave the bank He crossed the
corridor and seated himself on set
tee.
The teller noticed him sitting there,
and also noticed the reflective look on
his face.
The boy waited for some time, think
ing it over. Finally he arose and
went to the paying te1ler's window.
A moment later he confronted the re-
ceiving teller.
4 want to deposit this dollar and a
half" he said.
The teller grsnned.
The boy had Just drawn dollar
from his little balance and was using
Il as an entering wedge for the re-
iected half-dol1ar.
And so the system was beaten by
the boy and considerable accession
of bookkeeping labor was the price of
defeat.

KIDNEY TROUBLE

Remarkable StoryAbout Great Remedy

l cannot refrain from writing to say
that your Swamp-Root has benefited me
greatly. Last year had a severe attack
of lumbago. Was bad for long time.
and on seeing your advertisement, l de-
termined to give it a trial l did 80 and
in two weeks was cured. I gave a bottle
to poor woman who could scarcely walk.
She came to me in four days to tell me
she was all right and most thankful. I
had another attack last November and
was 80 bad that could not rise from my
chair without assistance and could hardly
lace up my boots. l at once sent for
more Swamp-Root and after taking two
bottles, l am more than glad that I am
well again. My age being seventy-three,
am the more convinced of the excellence
of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root.

Considerable more than one-half Of Phos-
plate of Potash.
Analysis of Grape-Nuts shows: Potassium
and Phosphorus (Which join and make Phos-
phate of Potash) is considerable more than
One-half of all the mineral salts In the food.
DR.. Geo. W. Carey, an authority on the
constituent elements of the body says: Ine
gray matter OF the brain is controlled entirely
by the inorganic cellsalt, Potassium Phos-
plate phosphate of Potash. This salt unites
with albumen and by the addition OF oxygen
creates nerve fluid or the gray matter OF the
brain. Of course, there is trace OF other
salts and other organic matter in nerve fluid,
but Potassium Phosphate is the chief factor
and has the power within itself to attract, by
its own law of affinity, all things needed to
manufacture the elixir of life"
Further on he says: THE beginning and end
of the matter is to supply the lacking principle,
and in molecular form, exactly as nature fur
nishes it in vegetables, fruits and grain. To
supply deficiences-this is the only law of
cure
The natural conclusion is that If Phosphate
of Potash is the needed mineral element in
brain and you use food which does not contain
it, you have brain flag because its daily loss is
not supplied.
On the contrary, il you eat food known to
be rich in this element you place before the
life forces that which nature demands for
brain-building.

When we speak facetiously OF some

employ a phrase that would seem to
be a piece of latter-day slang, but as
a matter of fact, 1t dates back to old
England, when, about the year 1925,
one Bolsover hung himself to a beam
while standing on the bottom Of a
bucket, and then kicked the bucket
away. Although at first used only in

Ace Of Oysters.

Oysters grow only during the sum-
mer and especially during the long,
warm summers at that. and are scarce
ly big enough for the mouth before
the third year. 1t is easy after look
ing over a bunch of shells to tell how
old an oyster is. A summer hump and
the winter sink come across the shell
every year, but after the seventh or
tenth year full growth comes; then, by
looking at the sinks between the
humps it is hard to tell anything
more about Miss Oysters age Oysters
live to be 20 years old.
