sive paek system will be provided In

"GrowIeI' Bill Dead. - The House
law and order committee to-day inde-
finitely postponed the Weimer "growl-

tative Graham, of Philadelphia, to-day
amended the administration escheai
bill, designed to secure for the State
unclaimed deposits and trust fund in
crements. He added a provision that
advertisement should be made.
Optometry Again.-The Governors
Office has declined to make any com
ment upon the contention that the
veto of the Daix optometry bill was
too late and that the time limit had
expired. An opinion was given to the
Governor that Sunday should not be
counted as a legislative day and the
officials of the State government will
stand on its findings. The Dunn bill
providing for a separate board was to-
day reported to the House with a num-
ber of amendments. 1t is in some
features similar to the bill vetoed.

that the fight on the anthracite tax bill

third reading tomorrow and If an
agreement can be reached It will be
given right of way on Wednesday.

IRE OF NATIONAL
BANKERS AROUSED
Bitter Resentment at New Order
of Wilson's Treasury
Department

Bitter resentment was expressed to-
day by national bank officials of the
city at the further demands for de-
tailed information of their transac-
tions which it has been announced
would be made in the next call for
condition of the banks by the Comp
troller of the Currency.
The ire of the bankers is aroused
not so much by the character of the
Information asked as by the impress
sion received that in making these
general demands upon all banks in
the country, the Treasury Departm
ds seeking to bolster up its case
against the Riggs National Bank at
Washington, which has alleged per-
secution in "burdensome demands for
special reports"
A prominent bank official of this
city pointed out that all information
sought by the Comptroller has been
open to any bank examiner who asked
for it. Bankers do not relish the idea
ords for five years back to report
amounts of overdrafts charged off,
which is one of the new requirements,
when such information has always
been available.
Sympathies of local bankers lie with
the Riggs bank in the controversy at
Washington. While they do not ap-
prove of certain practices of the Riggs
bank, they feel that the manner in
which the Comptroller had sought to
correct them by raking up records OF
past years which had been approved
| by previous Comptrollers, had des-
cended to petty prosecutions.

Plain Questions to
Harrisburg People
Every Harrisburg Reader Will Admit
the SoundnesS of the Logic


Would Harrisburg people recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills as they do IL the
medicine were not reliable? Would
they confirm their statements after
years have elapsed If their experiences
did not show the remedy to be deserv-
ing of 1t? Statements like the follow
ing must carry conviction to the mind
of every reader:
Mrs. NJ. e. Keller. 1922 North Sec4
ond street, Harrisburg, says: II can
confirm every word of my former
statement concerning the benefit one
of my family has had from Doan's
Kidney Pills. I took them myself sew
eral years ago and they benefited me
so much that I know they are all they
are claimed to be. 1 am glad to rec+
ommend Doan's s Kidney Pills to others"
Price soc. at all dealers. Don't sim
ply ask for a kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
Mrs. Keller had. Foster-Milburn Co..
