Fears Politics May Enter Board.

Discussing the plan to put the reserve
bank system under the control OF fed
eral reserve board composed OF the Sec
Rotary Of the Treasury and the Secretary
of Agriculture, the Controller Of the Cur
rency and four others named by the
President, Senator Burton said:
Such an organization might at hrst
seen1 an ideal solution, securing a prop
er balance between the people and The
banks in the all-important field or the
management Of our finances. But u IS
the bane of our national life that politics
enters all administrative duties. The COM
petition between opposing parties is 70
keen that those engaged in enterprise do
not feel sure that the authority of a po-
litical board will not be used for partisan
advantage.
The Senator strongly commended the
provisions granting authority to national
banks to accept certain classes Of paper
the proposed establishment Of braacaes in
foreign countries, and the recently IN
serted clause to require reserve banks re-
serving the circulating notes Of other
countries To take immediate steps fer
their redemption.

Attacks tho Bill.

Senator Theodore +. Burton. in an ad-
dress before the institute, attacked the
currency bill The Senator condemned
the regional reserve bank plan proposed
I'm the bill, but his criticism was aimed
chiefly al the provision authorizing the
federal reserve board TO control the issu-
ance OF currency.
ut is based on an erroneous idea he
said. namely, that government or 20
litical organization may properly assume
the providing Of supply Of paper cur
rency, directly or indirectly II Is pro-
posed that the government shall assume
in the first instance the redemption or
all circulating notes. This should be 'ett
TO the banks exclusively. II might be
necessary for the Treasury Itself 10
maintain a gold reserve, as is now heid
for the redemption OF greenbacks.

Most old people must give to the bowels some regular help, else tehy suffer from constipation. The condi- ton is perfectly natural. 1t is just as natural as it is for old people to walk slowly. For age is never so active as youth The muscles are less elastic. And the bowels are muscles.
 So all old people need Cascarets. One might as well refuse to aid weak eyes with glasses as to neglect this gentle aid to weak bowels. The towels must be kept active This is important at all ages, but never so much as a fifty
 Age is not a time for harsh physics. Youth may occasionally whip the bowels into activity. But lash can't be used every day. What the bowels of the old need is gentle and nat ural tonic. One that can be con- stantly used without harm. The only such tonic is Cascarets and they cost only 10 cents per box at any drug store. They work while you sleep.
