RURAL BANKS
FEED EXCHANGE
Country Deposits Furnish
SineWs for Wall Street.

New York, June 13.-It is the country
banker, holding the deposits of his
rural customers, who Is the real father
of the Stock Exchange and who makes
possible the speculative ventures of the
bulls and bears. Attracted by the high
rate for speculative loans, the outside
banker PUSHES his money to New York,
his brokers loan it on listed securities
and the money is In turn used to keep
the big Wall street game going.
James G.. Cannon, president of the
Fourth National bank and one Of the
big powers in finance, testified to that
effect before the Pujo subcommittee Of
the house committee on banking and
currency, which is investigating the
money trust. The bank president
made it plain that without the support
of the outsiders New York's great ex-
change could not do business and that
the rural financial light was really the
master of his city cousin, who always
got the limelight.
Reduced to its last analysis. Wall
street told the governments commit
tee that the farmer and the small
business man who starts the outside
bank deposits going Is the real father
of the money trust.

Where IL Does Harm the Fault 10 Al.
ways With the Msksr--Unwhels-
some Qualities hre Brought
Out In the s~tseplna.

It is said that we tan our stonaohs
and become, therefore, incapable or
digesttng food-that we turn into nerv-
Gus wrecks If We drink tea. And this
would be SO If we used tea immoder-
ately and made it carslessly. Let us
investigate a little and see what oan
be done to preserve to our use the
cup that cheers.
Analysis shows that tea is rich In
proteid, that 1T contains clkaloid-
thein-and a volatile oil n tannio
acid. Its stimulating effect Is due to
them and the oil-its astringency Is
caused by the fannie acid. Them is
so soluble that it is almost Immediate
ly drawn from the leaf when brought
into contact With boiling water. THEM
stimulates gastric digestion, but tho
fannie acid and oil are harmful. Eek
peTtments show that fannie acid Is de-
yeloped In very small quantity as
soon as tea comes in contact with
boiling water, and that more tannic
acid is developed when tea has stepped
five minutes than when 1t has stepped
three minutes, and that the longer it
stands the more this acid is drawn
out.
1t Is known that tea is stimulating,
refreshing and an allevlator of head
ache and bodily fatigue. 1t has a
slight influence in regulating the cir
culation of the blood and the tempera-
ture of the body. 1t is one of the most
warming drinks In winter and cooling
drinks in summer.
In view Of these facts all will ad-
nit that to get the good and reject
the unwholesome qualities of tea 1t Is
necessary to make 1t with freshly
boiled water-fast boiling because the
stimulating property, them, cannot be
extracted below the boiling point-and
for this reason also the teapot should
be thoroughly scalded before the tea
is put into it; freshly boiled water,
because long cooking causes its at
mospheric gases to escape and rem
ders it fiat and insipid. (Soft water is
pest used when 1t first comes to a
rapid boil, hard water may be boiled
fifteen to twenty minutes before u.s.
ing).
Tea should always be made as an
infusion-never boiIed-and with but
one infusion to each measure of tea.
The habit Of renewing the boiling wa
ter over the first measure of tea, or
Of using and reustng the tea leaves
with a small additional supply, is a
very Objectionable one and Is most
strongly condemned by all health and
food authorities. This Is the way to
obtain all the injurious qualities and
none OF the benefits Of a pot of tea
No wonder people tan their stomachs
when they fo.'ow such a method.
Here is the way to make one u OF
tea without a teapot: Heat a cup to
boiling point with boiling water, meas
ure one-half teaspoonful of best tea;
pour the water from the cup, put in
the tea. pour over enough fresh boil
ing water to fill the cup three-quarters
full, cover closely and let stand in q
warm place (not In a draught and not
over the fre) for three minutes. Have
ready another hot cup n a hot
strainer; strain the tea into the cup
and serve at once with sugar and
cream or milk, or with thinly sliced
lemon and sugar.-Chicago Record
