Their first offer is a free advertise
ment. This is for double purpose.
First, to get all the names OF patients
they can; second, they ask all patients
taking treatment, to pay for all 7medl-
cine, which costs as much or more
than in any drug store in the city. Do
you notice the free treatment. Their
next ad is to tell the public, owing to
the large number Of people that was
unable to be treated, they will con
tinue their free treatment to another
date.
Then they advertise a cure in some
other city; in a week or two they will
have few gullable patients to say
they are cured of some imaginary dis
ease.
Their next move is the master
stroke of all. They send a personal
letter to all patients who called, in
forming them that the great chief Of
all the doctors is coming, the man who
can speak and doctor the min twenty
different languages. This individual is
a good talker and usually not doctor,
but one Of the most unscrupuously
takers who will take money from the
blind. Who wouldn't put distilled wa
I ter in their eyes, but would use river
water and call it a sure cure for blind
ness. This was the kind of a special
list that was with the Pelvic People at
1923 Market street, that was arrested
and indicted for practicing without a
diploma or license.
The reason of all this sudden influx
of these fake concerns is a poorly con-
| Structed medical law and the laxity
of the individuals who are supposed
to represent the State Board of Medi-
cal Examiners. The representative in
Wheeling don't attend to this part of
his duties, but is always on hand for
division of the money that is coming
to him from the Board of Medical Ex-
aminers. 1t is up to Governor Glas-
cock to appoint some one to this i'm
portant position that will earn his
money and protect the people in this
district. Respectfully,
AN OBSERVER.

Let hearts beat true, courageous,

The flag that has, through strife and

Proclaimed the dawn of a brighter

The Flag that hope in your breasts

And heralds the coming of your heart

The Flag that will not dip in mire :
But to heights of fame will soar up

Upheld by reason and willing hands,
Against tyranny's yoke it nobly stands.
The Flag that tells Of blood, warm
and Red,
That flows from your hearts, noursh-
ing brains in your head.
The emblem of enlightment; of jus

1t leads on to victory the triumph of

WHAT is A BANK DEPOSIT?

WHAT is A BANN OEFOolI
The deposits in the banks are 16
billion dollars.
The money in the banks amounts
to ~ billion dollars; the money out
side the banks, billion-3R billion
of money in the whole country.
Bank deposits, then, are more than
ten times as large as the banks
money holdings; they are nearly five
times as large as the total stock OF
money in the country.
For every dollar the banks owe
their depositors they have less than
a dime in money.
Bank deposits are not money.
What, then, is bank deposit?
Only one. dollar in twenty of the
deposits the banks receive every day
(they run about a billion a day. are
in money. All the rest are in the
form of orders or promises to pay
money.
If you go to your bank and borrow
$1,000 the bank credits you with
81 900 on its books. This is a de-
post. You draw check against this
deposit for $1,000 to pay the mort
gage on your home, the man who gets
your check puts it in his bank. This
is a deposit.
If you are a manufacturer, you get
form a customer, in payment for gods,
his written promise TO pay you the
amount in ninety days. You put this
note in y69 bank, which credits you
with the aoAnt less interest. This is
deposit. Or, you draw an order
on your customer to pay you, the
amount in ninety days; he accepts
the draft; you put It in your bank.
This is a deposit.
In such ways the great bulk OF
bank deposits arise. Modern bust
ness makes actual money of less and
less Importance in the exchange of
goods between producers and con.
sumers.
Nine-tenths of all our business Is
now done with bank credit.
No bank is ever in position to
pay any large number of it's deposi-
tors on demand cash in full.

Editor Free Speech Department.: T.
want to express my satisfaction,
as one workingman, at the stand
taken by the West Virginia Fedora
ton of. Labor in declaring for the
solidarity Of labor on both the econ
omic and political fields. For too
many years our strength has been
wasted by supporting friends" on
old party tickets. Year after year we
are presented with the opportunity
of voting for a friend" on an old
party ticket, sometimes this friend"
being one of our own members, but
history shows that this plan has
gained US nothing. We have been
sending friends" to the legislature
for term after term, and yet we have
not even got an employers liability
law passed in this state; armed
thugs still reign in the scab coal
fields, whose chief owner is our Uni
ted States Senator, G. w. Watson,
and judges IN every part OF the STATE
still hand out injunctions against the
workers whenever they are requested
by the capitalists. Therefore. l am
glad that the State Federation of
Labor has at last taken the stand
that some Of US have taken for years:
namely, that our interests as work
ers, are class interests, and that
whenever any member Of the working
class accepts nomination for office
on a ticket other than the working
class ticket, he ceases to be a friend,
and becomes an enemy; for no matter
how honest or sincere he may be, he
cannot help US there. If he is too
honest or too weak to be crook
or tool, he is simply ignored. am
for the solidarity of the working
class, politically and industrially, and
those who are not with us are
against US.
Yours Ahternally,
PAUL SEIDEL.

Cement seems to have come at a
time when it was most needed in the
field Of construction. Fifteen years
ago very little cement was manufac-
tured in the United States, most Of
that used being imported from for
eign countries. The annual American
production has increased by millions
of barrels and at present the United
States produces more Portland &C.
ment yearly than any other country
in the world. The per capita con-
sumption of Portland cement is ap-
proximately one barrel per year. The
production and use of cement will,
undoubtedly continue to increase by
leaps and bounds as it's low cost, dur
ability and general adaptibility be-
come more generally known.-Adv.

Farmers, as we'll as city people,
are taking an increasing interest in
cement as they learn more about it's
uses and possibilities. Not many
years ago concrete construction was
rare except for sidewalks in the
cities; now the farmer has found
that concrete, which is made simply
by combining cement, sand and grav-
ell Cor crushed stone) with water, is
cheap and an everlasting substitute
for lumber Lumber is becoming
scarcer, higher in cost and after a
few years decays. Painting is needed
and expensive repairs must always
be made to farm buildings made of
lumber Concrete has come to take
the place of lumber admirably. The
farmer has found that he can do &C.
ment work himself without the help of
expert contractors and in great
many localities the farmers are doing
all their building work with cement.
Sidewalks, fence posts, feeding floors,
silos, water troughs, tanks, barn
floors, !llars, milk houses, drain tile,
manure Its, wells, cisterns and foun-
dations arc some of the uses to which
the farmer is putting concrete. One
of the most important uses for con-
crete, which has undergone wonderful
development recently, is the building
of concrete pavements and country
roads. The satisfar ton which con-
crete has given for concrete side
walks has led to its use universally
for the building of sidewalks. For
streets and roads concrete is proving
equally successful. 1t makes hard,
