For Children There is Nothing
BETTER

A cough medicine for children
must help their coughs and colds
without bad effects on their little
stomachs and bowels. Foley's Honey
and Tar exactly fills this need. No
opiates, no sour stomach, no consti-
patton follows its use. Stuffy colds,
wheezy breathing, coughs and Group
are all quickly helped, and sweet, re-
freshing slumber instead of feverish
tossing at night. 1t is easy there
fore to understand why an increasing
number of bottles of Foley's Honey
snd Tar Compound is sold yearly.

The Prosperity of
Vermont Saving Banks

terlng showing in regard to
the growth of our Vermont
Savings Banks. He says the
increase during the past year
has been the largest of any
year in the history of our
Savings Banks-in round
numbers, $1,000, 1000.
The people of our little
commonwealth have not only
been wonderfully prospered
during the past year, but
they have been laying aside
some of the fruits of that
prosperity for a rainy day.
Go back six years,to 1907,
we find that the total depos-
its in all the Savings Banks
in Vermont on the first day
of July of that year we're
$57, IA, 294.48; on the first
day Of July, 1913, they were
$97, 929, 764.SO, a gain of
more than So per cent in the
six years-a most encourag-
ing showing.
A few of the more pros
porous Banks in the State
show much higher percent
age of gain. For instance,
the Hyde Park Savings
Bank on the first day OF
July, 1907, had 1914, 1884
in deposits. Six years later,
on the first day of July, 1913,
those deposits had increased
practically three-told-to be
exact, they were on that date
$685. 22.73.
Had the growth in depos,
it's in all the banks in the
State increased in the same
wonderful ratio as the Hyde
Park Bank, they would have
to-day amounted, in round
numbers, to one hundred and
seventy million dollars, OF
substantially twice what
they now really are.
The Hyde Park Saving:
Bank has had a growth tina
is simply phenomenal, ;tnc
probably has no parallel il
any country village in thu
United States.
One does not need go fa1
to discover the reason fo1
this. The depositing public
is proverbially very caution:
: and discriminating, rarely
making a mistake. 1t thinks
it sees in the management of
the HydePark Savings Banl
an adherence to certain we'll
known financial laws which
ii closely followed, always
lead to the port of safety.
Not a dollar lost by a poor
note in nearly twenty-five
years is a statement thai
can be made by very few
banks in this country, but i
can truthfully be claimed by
the Hyde Park Bank.
What does it mean? Simply
that the management of that
bank not only possess bank
ing and business judgment
of a high order, but it mean'
as we'll, that they are mos
painstaking and diligent il
scrutinizing all securities Of
fered as a basis for loans.

Washington, April 1S.-Hysterical
demands by 10000 persons assem-
bled in mass meeting in Toxic last
night that the Japanese government
resort to arms to protest against the
passage of the anti-alien land bill
now pending before the California
legislature failed to excite President
Wilson here today. Naturally Wash
ington officialdom is slightly con-
cerned over anti-American agitation
in Japan, but the president insists
that California is privileged to enact
any legislation it desires, and it
seems certain that the government
will not interfere with the passage
of the land laws.
American difficulties in Mexico
and Japan are complicated because
only the acting heads of embassies
are in each country. The resignation
of Lars Anderson, the American am
bassador to Japan, is in the hands
of the president. President Wilson
is anxious to send a new and depend
able ambassador to Japan at once
Former Mayor Guthrie of Pittsburg
is urged for the place.
President Wilson expects Califor-
mia to pass the land bill and frankly
told the Japanese ambassador that
when it is passed he expects Oregon
and Washington to adopt identical
bills.
The president expects Americans
to become most unpopular in Japan
and he wants an ambassador there
capable of handling the most deli
cate situations. Both President Will
son and Secretary of State Bryan are
keeping in close touch with Sacra-
mento and Toxic.
Reports from Mexico indicate that

PROTECTWATER SUPPLY
MedfOrd Buys Half Section of Land
Around City Intake for That
Purpose.

Medford, April 20.-Arrangements
have been perfected by the finance
committee of the city council where
by the Hamilton ranch of $40 acres
abutting the intake of the city water
supply this side of Fish Lake will
be purchased and the danger of CON
tamination prevented by the clearing
of the land and it's enclosure with
a fence to prevent stock from graz
ing on the property.
Shorty Hamilton, who owned the
land, sold it to the city TO" the price
he he paid for Is tst 5000 6 s not eyen ak
four banks of Medford agreed N'e
take the city warrants necessary 10
finance the sale. Twenty-Five hun
dred dollars will be paid this year
and the balance next year
With the sale go extensive water
rights which will give the city an
amount of water approximately equal
to that now taken from Fish Lake
The land is also valuable as a hay
ranch and plans are now being per-
fected by which the city will be able
to benefit the taxpayers far more
than is involved in the initial cost.
The main object at present. how
ever, is to insure pure water sup
ply throughout the year. Although
the water has been free from typhoid
there have been traces of malaria
germs, and hereafter the only posi-
BILE objection to the supply will be
removed. Active work toward fenc-
ing in the land and clearing the
drainage surface will begin in the
near future.

MOTORCYCLE CAUSES RUNAWAY
Chief Oien's Machine Scares Colts,
Who Dash Into Rig.

Chief Oien's motorcycle was the
cause of a runaway last Thursday,
but through no fault of the chief.
He had been out on the Boulevard
beyond the normal school and had
been compelled to stop near Benton
Bowers place to adjust his machine.
He was on the bicycle path and had
just started up when team of colts
driven by A. II. Peachey and hitched
to stone boat became frightened.
Mr.. Oien stopped his machine at
once, but the colts whirled and then
jumped while the lines were slack
and Mr.. Peachey had no chance to
control them. They got away and
ran toward town, coming up behind
the rig driven by John Taylor. One
horse tried to go each side of the
rig, with the result that one went on
top of it, throwing Mr.. Taylor and
his sister-in-law, Miss McGee, out.
She suffered a broken arm and was
otherwise bruised, and he was
bruised but not seriously hurt. Miss
McGee was taken into a passing rig
and taken to the home of her sister,
Mrs. Charles Haight, 52S East Main
street, and is reported as getting
along nicely today.
