cleanse your Liver. Stomach and
Bowels, and you will surely feel
great by morning. You men and

nervous, upset. bothered with a
sick, gassy, disordered stomach,
or have backache and feel all
worn out. Are you keeping your
bowels clean with Cascarets - or
merely forcing a passageway ev-
cry few days with salts, cathartic
pills or castor oil?
Cascarets Immediately cleanse
and regulate the stomach, remove
the sour, undigested and ferment-

excess bile from the liver and

ST. PAUL, Oct. 26.-Much
business and little politics is the
news from this part of our geog-
raphy. Bushes is spelled with a
bis "B" and politics with a small
p"
And this does not mean that
business is good CONSIDER ing the
effect of the European war. Ii
means that IL is better than ID
was a year ago, i'm spite of war,
tariff or any other old thing. In
deed, the situation is remark able.
Much wheat, much grinding of
wheat into flour. much demand
at home and abroad-that golden
dream of the wheat farmer of
wheat selling at a dollar to a dol
lar and a quarter a bushel-has
set the wheels of industry going
until the job of the receiving tell
err at the savings bank is the
really hard one.
Deposits Grow.
For instance, bank deposits in
the st. Paul banks for the nine
months of 1914 and ending Octo-
Der 1 were $64, 100000, as COM
pared to $5O,O67,000 for the
same period of 1913, an increase
of $14,922. 900.
This activity is seen in all
lines. There is more building
going on in st. Paul and Mime
apolis than at any period during
their history. The jobbers are
doing a big business, retail trade
is booming and the profits are no.
tably greater than during the
same period a year ago. At that
time the earnings were 36,2S4, :
067; this year they were $6,641,-
1895, an increase of $751;
32246.
Bank clearings in st. Paul in
creased $40,2S7, 705.01 and in
Minneapolis the record was sub
stantially the same. New build
ings increased $3,s64, 141; post
office receipts increased t10S.-
29s.S5, and that division of the
Northwestern railroad directly
tributary to the twin cities show
ed net profits 80 per cent great
err than in 1913.
When the war came and all
transatlantic shipping ceased
there was, of course, a jar to
credits and some apprehension
lest the wheat might not find a
market at the expected high
prices; but that difficulty has
passed. Wheat has recently been

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Oct. . 3.
The twelve federal reserve
banks of the new banking system
will be opened for business on
November 16, according to off
cial announcement today by Sec
rotary MeAdoo, who is authorized
by the currency act to name the
opening date.
His choice of the 18th was
made despite the fact that the
directors and governors of the
twelve banks in a recent confer
ence here, voted 81 to 35 against
opening on that date, and cx-
pressed their preference for No
vember 80.

of one or two million bushels a
day, and, in addition, much
wheat has found its way through
Canada to foreign buyers. Also
there is a larger stream going
now from Puget Sound some
where into the far east.
The mills are working over
time. Flour is as good as gold
and the millers know that flour
in an eastern warehouse is bound
to be valuable asset for the
next two years at least.
Don't Hoard.
The banks have no need to
hoard money. They took their
share of the emergency currency
put out by Secretary McAdoo, but
they could have done without it,
Except for one bank at Duluth,
there we're no northwest bankers
on the treasury departments list
of those who were boarding their
deposits and refusing loans at
reasonable rates of interest.
Only as the tangling lines of
credit stretch into the less pros
porous parts of the world has
business here been Jared. A man
with creditors in the east or
south may be pressed for money.
In one case ! heard of a deal
involving the sale of land valued
at four million dollars to a Bel
gian syndicate. The money was
to have been paid in Brussels on
the day war broke out. OF course.
that deal did not go through. But
these are isolated cases. The
northwest has begun to reap the
harvest which must come to the
country which has what the rest
of the world has not, but cannot
live without.
