The general effect for good
upon the country's business
should be very marked as the
passage of the new currency bill
contemplates a more elastic cur
rency, and under proper regula-
lions, than the United States has
ever known. This does not mean
that man who Is not entitled to
borrow money can go to a bank
and get 1t any more easily than
before, but 1t does mean that the
one who has the goods to back up
his proposition need not be hahdi-
capped by a shortage of available
cash as has been the case many
times in the past, the most nota-

MAKES RHEUMATISM
PROMPTLY DISAPPEAR
Chronic. Crippled-up Sufferers
Find Relief After Few Doses
of New Remedy are
Taken.

II Is needless to suffer any long
er with rheumatism. and be all
crippled up, and bent out of shape
with its heart wrenching pains,
when you can surely avoid il.
rheumatism comes from weak,
inactive kidneys, that fail to filter
from the blood. the poisonous waste
matter and uric acid; and II Is USE
less TO rub on liniments or take or
binary remedies to relieve the pain,
This only prolongs the misery and
can't possibly cure you.
The only way to cure rheumatism
If TO remove the cause. The new
discovery, Croxone, does this be-
cause 1t neutralizes and dissolves
all the poisonous substances and
uric acid that lodge In the Joints
and muscles, to scratch and irritate
and cause rheumatism, and cleans
out and strengthens the stopped up.
Inactive kidneys, so they can filter
all the poisons from the blood and
drive 1t on and out of the system.
roxone is the most wonderful
medicine ever made for curing
chronic rheumatism, kidney trou-
bles, and bladder disorders. You
viii find II different from all other
remedies. There is nothing else on
earth like 1t. 1t matters not how
old you are, or how long you have
suffered. It is practically impossi-
pie TO take II into the human svs-
TEN without results. You will find
relief from the first few doses. and
you VIII be surprised how quickly
all your misery and suffering will
end.
An original package of Croxone
costs but trifle at any first class
drug store. All druggists are au-
thorized TO sell II on positive
money-back guarantee. Three doses
q day for a few days is often all
that Is ever needed to cure the
worst backache or overcome urin-
ary disorders

MAY Be TURNED
/. To APARTMENT
HOUSE NOW

The old Hawthorne school in
the East End may be turned into
an apartment house. The school
board is considering selling it and
two parties are after it to change
it into flats.
The board unanimously re-
elected Alfred Lister secretary at
its organization meeting Wednes-
day afternoon. 1t also took over
the restaurant at the Lowell
school which has been run here
tofore by the parent-teachers' as
sociation. The latter made money
out of the venture and the board
thinks 1t can do as we'll.
The industrial department at
Whitman and Central schools has
made such success that the
board decided to enlarge the
scope of the endeavors and four
more teachers will be employed.

Member banks may re-discount
notes. drafts and bills of exchange
arising out of commercial trans
actions, the federal reserve board
having the right to determine the
character of the paper that Is
eligible for re-discount under this
act. Notes, drafts and bills of
exchange secured by staple agri-
cultural products, or other goods,
wares or merchandise are eligible
but notes secured by stocks,
bonds and other forms of invest
ment are not, with the exception
of government bonds. This pro-
vision will make 1t very easy for
the member banks to carry on a
much more. extended business and
take care OF large trade, but
every transaction carried to the
reserve banks will have to be a
gilt edge proposition" or it will
be rejected. No paper can be
taken to the reserve banks that
run for a period of more than 80
days, except that issued for aerl-
cultural or live stock purposes
which may run not to exceed six
months.

a national reserve agent, and any
national bank which fails to oe-
come a member in a year shall
forfeit all the right and privileges
given 1t under the national bank
act or under this act.
Each member bank shall SUBJ
scribe for an amount of the capt.
tai stock OF the federal reserve
bank of Its district equal to per
cent OF its combined capital aud
surplus. For example, a bank
having 100000 capital $4,000
surplus would subscribe for s7,-
500 of stock in the reserve bank.
This stock could not be hypothe-
Gated. Nor can II be transferred
except back to the issuing bank
to be cancelled. This amount of
stock may be increased or de-
creased as the capital or surplus
of the member bank Is increased
or decreased. OF this stock sub

National banks not in central

Its capital and surplus, but the
amount of new money this will
enable the banks to bring into a
community is enormous. For ex-
ample the combined capital and
surplus of the Tacoma banks IL
s3,400,090, which would mean
that II the local banks were to
get all they are allowed under
the act $f,700,000 of new money
could be turned loose at this sone
point. However, II Is not at all
probable that the Tacoma banks
would ever take advantage of
their satire privilege, especially
all at the same time.
Tacoma will undoubtedly have
branch of the reserve bank of
this district as the Importance of
this city will necessitate a repre-
sentation here.
These articles are not meant to
be complete digest or disquisi-
ton on the law, only to bring out
the points that are Of most inter-
est to the public at the present
time. An exhaustive treaties
would take many times the space
that can be given here and would
necessarily deal with many de-
tails that would not be of special
interest to the public.
No doubt most of the large
banks of the country will become
members of this great system,
and the benefit that will come to
this community is difficult to es-
innate.

Also how very evident are some

better results, and which leaves no
