SAFER CREDITS
The Regional Banks New
Measure Will Help Business
Men in Many Ways.

Better credits, rather than an extension
of credit, is the much-to-be-desired effect
which the Federal reserve act will have on
business. The new regional banks will ex-
ercise a useful function in assisting mem
Der banks to improve the character of their
loans.
The most useful function in matters per-
tanning to health is the digestive system, for
it is from this source we receive our daily
help in renewing the waste portions Of the
body, keeping the blood pure and well sup;
Piled with red corpuscles, and the general
condition up to Natures standard.
Therefore, watch the digestion and at the
first sign of weakness or distress see that
immediate assistance is given. This can be
efficiently supplied by the use of Hostel
| ter's Stomach Bitters.
It has well known reputation as tonic
and appetizer and can thus be relied upon
to help you regain your appetite, assist the
entire digestive system and help Nature IN
the promotion and maintenance of health.
Make Hostetter's Stomach Bitters your
first choice in any ailment of the Stomach,
Liver or Bowels. You will find it well
worthy of your confidence. Insist on hav-

ALL RIGHT IN THE FUTURE
Proof That Little Dorothy Had I'm

by Her Mother.

Dorothy's mother is suffragette OF
advanced type. Dorothy is a dear
little girl in a primary grade, but
somewhat inclined to copy her elders.
One day her teacher received a note
from the secretary of the school
board. but waited until after class to
read it. Dorothy returned for some
books and caught tears in the teach
er's eyes (the latter had been denied
an increase in salary upon which she
had based large hopes), and said:
why are you crying?"
The teacher laughed and said, THE
naughty old school board isn't nice

Dorothy took hold of the teachers
hand with both hers and said very
seriously, Don't you cry any more

correct such things!"-The Sunday

of Ecuador, is located on the
west bank of the River Guayas,
about seventy miles from the
sea, in a splendid situation, at the END
Of deep-water navigation, and at the
confluence of a number of rivers that

Magazine.
Rounding a bend in the river we
pass a number of shipbuilding yarus
and factories, and then, as our steam
er slowly draws up to her anchorage
the whole of the busy water front Is
revealed to our view Ike the unrolllng
Of a scene in panorama. Backed by
low hills, the city lies on piece OF
level ground in an open and beautiful
situation, stretching for several miles
by the side Of the river, which Is at
this point more than mile wide ana
deem enough for steamers Of consider
able size. The whole of the water front
is occupied by jetties and piers, where
craft of many different types load ana
discharge their cargoes, the twin
spires of the cathedral and numerous
churches stand up, white and cleaning
above the roofs of the houses, line
buildings face the water, and on a
wide thoroughfare between them and
the water streams of traffic pass &c

trade-an impression that is fully con
firmed by closer acquaintance. Th'

A walk through the buster streets
