New Banking System Urged

Taking the government out of the bank
ing business is only one phase of the re-
form of our banking and currency sys-
tenn in which all Americans should be
deeply interested The principal require
ments of a new banking and currency
measure are that it shall provide a prac-
tical immunity from serious panics-sueh
an immunity as is enjoyed by the other
leading financial nations; that it shall
stringencies in the money market, which
keep relations between the bankers and
the business men of the country almost
continuously at skies and sefens: that
it shall remove the defects of our domes-
tic exchanges; that it shall enlarge and
develop the facilities of our foreign ex-
change SYSTEM that 1t shall properly de-
velop the discount market: that 1t shall
wholesomely assist i'll regulating the in
terest rates and making them uniform
throughout the country; that it shall put
an end to the tendency which forces our
bank balances into speculative channels,
and save them for regular trade and
commerce. To meet the case it is neces-
able reserves and every necessary provis
ion and power both to permit and to
check the expansion of loans.
The new banking system will also have
to provide with distinctness and conf
pleteness ample banking facilities for our
foreign commerce-a commerce that with
the proper governmental announcement
will be Worldwide and world-varied. 1t
is idle to expect that we shall ever have
a developed foreign commerce without
a developed foreign banking system
AS long as we have the present bank
ing and currency system, we shall have

she was incased in wood or was wear

Just as Mother Eve went to the tree
for her first fall gown her daughters
may go there for their tailor-made and
ball dress.
Wood pulp fiber is the commodity
employed. and this fall will see the
panics-and no longer. Does not this
alone create state of emergency? What
doubt should there be of tho urgency of
this legislation? Why should it take an
other wasteful and degrading panic to inn
press Congress? Why cannot 1907 suf-
flee? There are many other things of
prime importance to be secured through
monetary reform. but if nothing We're
to be secured but emancipation from
panics. there would be abundant impera-
tive reasons for immediate action by
Congress.

To Absorb Freckles
and Other Blemishes

Every spring I receive many letters
from girls seeking some reliable recipe
for removing freckles Last year l ad-
vised many to try mercolized wax. Such
favorable results were reported that
this season l have recommended moth
ing else for the purpose The wax
seems to possess unusual properties
which completely absorb every freckle.
with no harmful effect The complex
ion improves wonderfully, becoming as
soft as a rose petal. and as delicately
tinted.
Get an ounce of mercolized wax at
any druggist, spread thin layer Of It
over the entire face every night for a
while. washing this off in the morning
For rough. red skin. sallowness, black
heads. pimples and all cutaneOus blem-
ishes. this treatment is superior TO any
that has ever come under my observa-
ton.
Springtime also brings wrinkles to
many sensitive skins that are much ex-
posed to winds and changing tempera-
lures. Pour half pint witch hazel
into basin, then an ounce of pow
dered saxolite which quickly dissolyes.
Battle the face in this; the effect on a
wrinkled skin is remarkable. Marie
