GOOD MORNING, DID
YOU GET A REST?
Comptroller Of Currency Asks
Bankers if They Take Va
cation Regularly.

st. Paul, Mimi, May 8.-St. Paul
bankers believe that John Shelton
Williams, United States comptroller
OF the currency, has reached the eli
max in the matter Of strange qnes.
tiOns when In call for bank cond.
lions last week he asked all national
bankers II they are taking vacations
regularly.
Next time" said one st. Paul bank.
er. "Mr. Williams will be asking il
we have taken off our wooden under
wear and put on our VI. V. DIS.
'But he is welcome to all such in
formation. His questions, find, are
of some value. for they lead one away
from humdrum topics and open up
fields OF speculation and conversa-
ton"
Urges Vacations.
Mr.. Williams asks how many bank
clerks and officials have had no vaca'
ton during the last five years.
The, comptroller is an earnest advo'
cate of vacations for employees. In
the circular he urges bank presidents
and directors TO see to it that their
employees have every year a regular
stated period OF rest.
Mr. Williams asks this on the
ground that duties of bank employees
are arduous and necessarily nerve
straining. and that the employees are
likely to do better work for the con-
sideration that is shown them. He
advances as a further argument the
suggestion that during such vacations
there is a more comfortable opportun-
ity for. an impartial check on the
books OF a bank.
Train Understudies.
There is also the further consider
alton in favor Of the annual vacation
that during the absence OF regular

makes no provision for the appoint
y ent of inspectors of the wards in
such cities, and these positions will
be filled. under the provisions OF sec.
tion 696 Of the Compiled Laws of
'"th Dakota by the board of county
commissioners. Section 95l Compiled
Laws. 1913, is not controlling in cities
operating under the commission form
OF government for the reason that
city commissioners individually do not
succeed to the individual rights and
powers of the aldermen, and the ap-
nointment of an inspector in a ward
was an individual, right Of the senior
alderman of that ward. &.
beg leave, therefore, to modify my
former opinion to the extent that in
cities operating under tie commission
form of governments, the inspectors Of
election must be appointed by the
board of county commissioners, under
the general law GIVING them power to
I'LL vacancies in precinct Offices.
Very truly yours,
H. r.. BlTZING,
Asst. ATTORNEY General.

Says Mrs. Mays-Gains Is
Pounds on Two Bottles.

Il refused to submit to an opera
ton which | was told was the only
way out Of my troubles, and took
Tanlac, and I have not only gained
fifteen pounds on two bottles Of the
medicine, but everybody is talking
about my wonderful Improvement

Twelfth street, Augusta.
Fourteen months ago." continued
Mrs. Mays, Il began suffering with
my stomach Kidneys and other
troubles and my condition was grow
ing worse all the time I got SO
suffered with headache constantly,
and at times they were so severe +
thought I would die with them. The
pain in my right side around my
kidney was SO terrible could hardly
bear it, and my back ached me con-
tinually. My appetite failed, and
what little I could eat seemed to
poison my system. My extreme ner-
VousnesS and constant pain made it
almost impossible for me to sleep.
Il read an Endorsement for Tanlac
given by a friend of mine, and that
gave me new hope [ decided to try
that medicine before allowing the
operation. I felt better right from
the start, and my Improvement has
been SO rapid it is really wonderful.
! haven't had headache at all since |
began taking Tanlac, and those awful
pains left my side and back before [
had finished my first bottle, and the
dread Of an operation left with them
My kidneys have also stopped troub-
ling me. My appetite is good, and
can eat anything [ want and sleep
like a child at night. All that weak
ness and rundown feeling have dis
appeared, and I have plenty Of
breath. [ have gained fifteen
pounds, but the best thing is I'm
relieved of all that dreadful suffer-
ing. I think Tanlac is the greatest
medicine in the world and there
ought to be a bottle Of it in every
home"
Tanlac is sold by regular estab-
lished agencies in all principal towns
of the South.-Ady.

BILLY PARKER MADE A HIT.

Dear Sir: Billy Parker, the noted
Anti-Cath olic lecturer, dropped into
our city last Saturday was a week
ago. He reached here about 10
O'Clock. We arranged for him to
make an address at the court house
at 1880, and even with this short
notice, we had packed house. At
ter the lecture, on Saturday after
noon, we succeeded in getting him to
return here on Thursday, August 3rd,
for a series Of three lectures. He
lectured Thursday night and Friday
night to a large mixed audience and
Sunday afternoon to men only.
There was a big meeting as Billy
is an exceptionally fine entertainer,
he is we'll posted on the Catholic
business which we Protestants know
very little about
Billy paid his respects to our local
newspapers, which they deserved, for
with all of his lectures here, and
crowds of people coming in from the
country and nearby towns, The
Moultrie Observer never mentioned
his name at all, and they neither
mentioned anything about the Public
speaking which we were having.
Billy has been in this county about
10 days, and he has the whole popu-
lation stirred up, and we expect to
see a great strong organization Of
the men of this country to try and
abolish the Catholic political ma
chine.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1916-08-17

Billy Parker certainly has the
goods, and he delivers them without
fear or favor. And he should be
given the support and encouragement
OF every true Protestant.
Billy left here Monday morning
for Macon, Ga, where he goes for
series Of lectures.
We have requested that he return
here for another series of lectures as
early as possible.
Yours in the fight,
Moultrie, Ga. J. T. D.
