Walking upstairs backward is urged
by a London physician as q useful
practice In cases of heart weakness
and as helping In q more equal dis

says. walking upstairs backward

On the Pending Currency Bill
in Congress Rather Ad-
verse to Provisions.
[By Charles BROOKS slniiIl.l ]


WASHINGTON, Nov I'll William
Gilkeson, cashier OF the South Branch
Valley National Bank at Mooreheld,
Hardy county, is one of the best
known and most successful Country
bankers in West Virginia, He has
been many years in the business, an.
he ranks high in the estimation OF men
connected with financial operations,
especially banking institutions, in his
state. Therefore, there Is good rea-
son to seek his views of the pending
currency bill question, and to give up
ungrudgingly the space they require
for their publication. 1t may be that
they are typical OF tbe sentiment of
other country" bankers in West vir-
ginia-it may be. At any rate, the
reputation and character of this
banker makes his opinions on the
pending currency issue in Congress
worthy the thoughtful perusal of all
who have an intelligent and patriotic
interest in the outcome OF the prevail
ing legislative controversy as to a
new currency law.
Mr.. Gilkeson has taken a great in
terest in the subject He has written
his Views to Senator owen and to
Congressman Sutherland, and he has
visited this city to discuss them per-
sonally with those in authority in con-
nection with the pending bill. His
clear understanding of the subject
and the force of his personality have
impressed others, and "as a typical
country banker which classscounsel
is being sought by those who have the
currency question in tow, the sugges-
ton and advice of none of them have
caused greater heed than that offered
by Cashier Gilkeson.
Here are some of the suggestions
he has offered to the Senate commit
tee on banking and currency:
Members of regional or federal re-
serve banks should not be required to
subscribe more than ten per cent of
their capital to the capital stock Of
said regional banks for the reason
that the subscription required of
