case when the hearing resumed to-
day with President F. A. Chamberlain
of the Security National bank of M.J-
jneapolis, having the floor. Chamber
flnin declared that Minneapolis, as the
great grain center of the northwest,
carries the financial load during the
crop moving season and therefore
should have a reserve bank in prefer
ence to her sister city. Minneapolis

QUININE AS MALARIA REMEDY
Naval Surgeons Say It Will Not Pre-
vent the Disease.

Ordinary doses Of quinine will not pre-
vent malaria. though it may retard or
delay the symptom This is the con-
clusion of naval surgeons based on their
experience obtained after considera Bile
tropical service with the Atlantic battle
ship fleet
A special report on the subject has
been made to the Navy Department by
Surgeon L. W. Mcclure, in which he
says that persons infected with malaria
may not show any evidence of the
disease while taking quinine but when
1t is discontinued will suffer attacks Of
acute malaria paroxysms.
In fact, quinine may be harmful from
another reason because after taking it
for long period a certain tolerance for
the drug may be established. causing
great difficulty in curing these cases
1t Is admitted that an expeditionary
force during a short active campaign in
a malaria country might hold the malar a
in allowance temporarily by taking qui-
nine, from five to ten grains daily for
each person.
