deposits are in the neighborhood of
$4,000.
The liabilities are about $4,000.
The deposits are in small amounts.
principally by farmers in and around
the village, and following the closing

these rope ends struck him on the
head. Instinctively he seized one OF
them and chung to it with desperation,
The schooner tore OH through the
water. and her master at the end Of
the dangling rope was drawn in close
under her bulwarks and dragged along

flung him again and again against the
side of the vessel.
But presently n gust of wind lurch'
ed the schooner well over. her lee rail
plunged beneath the water. and at the
same Instant another wave picked the
captain up and tossed him sprawiing
op the sloping deck. Battered as he
was. he had enough strength left to
seize the standing rigging and cling to
it. while the water poured back again
into the sea.
The helmsman had seen Captain
Hodson swept away 80 death. as he
firmly believed. and his establishment
at seeing him back again on deck may
be imagined. Hodson was not Serf-
ously injured by his experience. and
his vessel weathered the storm and

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS
Genuine Merit Required to Win
the Peoples Confidence.

Have you ever stopped to reason
why it is that so many products that
are extensively advertised, all at once
drop out of sight and are soon for
gotten? The reason is plain-the
article did not fulfil the promises OF
the manufacturer. This applies more
particularly to a medicine. A medi-
cal preparation that has real curative
value almost sells itself as like an end
less chain system Se remedy is rec
commended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need
of 1t.
A prominent druggist says Take
for example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root
a preparation I have sold for many
years and never hesitate to recon-
mend, for in almost every case
shows excellent results, as many OF
my customers testify. No other kid
ney remedy that l know OF has so
large a sale"
According to sworn statements ana
verified testimony of thousands VINO
have used the preparation, the sue

every wish in overcoming kidney, Nv

WEIRD TALE OF THE SEA.
When Death Was Cheated by Rope'e
End In a Raging Gale.

Few living men have ever looked
death so square in the face as Ger
tain Captain Hodson. who was for
years connected with the customs
service at Honolulu. Before that he
was a shipmaster. and the remarkable
adventure of which he was the he-9
occurred while he was in command CT
schooner that traded in the Pacific.
On this occasion the vessel was sew
eral days out from land. in the midst
OF the ocean. when II was overtaken
by a severe gale and thick weather.
For a time Captain Hodson tried TO
keep the schooner's head up into the
wind. but the storm became So violent
that there was nothing for it but 70
run before the gale. He brought the
vessel about and. pursued by a heavy
following sea, scudded it under almost
bare poles TO the northwnrd.
The captain himself stood by the
wheel to give the helmsman direc-
lions. The fest Of the crew, having
made everything as secure as possible.
were crouched in the lee OF the deck
house.
A flaw in the wind took the schooner
aback for n moment. and in that in
slant tremendous wave that was fol-
lowing close behind mounted over the
bulwarks and swept several feet deep
from stern TO bow.
Every one but the captain had some.
thing at hand to cling TO, although the
wave wrenched the man Mt the wheel
from his hold and threw him on hts
face. However. he brought up against
the deck house and scrambled to his
feet just In time to see the rushing
water carry Captain Hodson over
board.
Hodson's case was rs nearly hope

the present session OF congress as one
OF the features of President Wilson's

pose OF getting his name in print
Since taking ONCE last year he has

the great Industrial problems OF the
day.
in the last analysis" Mr.. Davies
said in a recent speech, society is
concerned with the question OF which
OF he two types of the industrial
system is the most advantageous TO-
the general welfare. The question
resolves itself into whether the mon
opolistic system OF large units or
the competitive system confers the
greatest advantage upon society.
The advantages and disadvantages
OF such are questions OF fact, and
one OF the paramount considerations
therein is the question Of cost OF pro
duction. The efficiency OF an indus
trial System will be finally guaged by
the people, In a large measure. by the
difference in the cost of what they
buy. and that system which produces
most cheaply and does not induce other
and greater evils than those sought
20 be remedied would be regarded as
the final economic fact. in a large de-
gree. by the consumer"

ACID STOMACHS ARE
DANGEROUS
Common Sense Advice by a pistn-
guished Specialist.

Acid" stomachs are dangerous be-
cause acid irritates and intiames the
delicate lining Of the stomach, thus
hindering and preventing the proper
action of the stomach, and leading to
probably nine-t0nthS of the cases OF
stoma ch trouble from which people
suffer Ordinary medicines and modi-
cal treatments are useless in such
cases, for they leave the source OF the
trouble, the acid in the stomach, as
dangerous as ever. The acid must
be neutralized and its formation pre-
vented, and the best thing for this
purpose is a teaspOOnfll Of bisurated
magnesia, a simple antaCid, taken in
a little warm or cold water after eat
ing, which not only neutralizes the
acid, but also prevents the fermenta-
ton from which acidity IS developed.
Foods which ordinarily cause greatest
distress may be eaten with impunity
if the meal is followed with q little
bisurated magnesia, which can be OBJ
tanned from any druggist, and should
always be kept handy.
