TALKS ON BANKING.
WHEN You BORROW MONEY. ,

In the course of human events it be-
comes necessary for most people to
borrow money. Business men who can
make ten per cent. or more out of
trading find it profitable to borrow in
order to carry on business on a larger
scale, discount their bills and carry
complete stocks. Others find it desir-
able at times to borrow for various
purposes. and some find it necessary
to borrow because they have either
failed to save, or have been unable to
save and are confronted with an exig-
ency that requires money.
Should you at any time find yourself
in such a condition, do not borrow
from your friends, go to your bank.
That is what banks are for They live
by their loans, and no banker will re-
fuse loan that meets certain require
ments and is in his estimation good. 1t
is proposed in the next two or three
talks on banking to tell you what the
banker wants to know when you offer
him your note Whether the loan is
large or small the same rules apply.
In the first place the banker will ex-
pect you to be depositor. Most banks
make it a rule to lend to only those
who are customers, and customers
means depositors. If you favor the
/ banker with your account, giving him
profit from the use of your money, he
will be glad to reciprocate and let you
use his money when you need it and
offer the proper security The rule is
well established to lend in the proper
ton of not over five to one; that is, if
you keep balance of 500, the banker
would lend you $500, if he thought
well of your credit standing. The
greatest mistake business men make is
to keep little or no balance in the
bank and then expect the bank to ac-
commodate them with loans.
Take an actual case that happened
recently within the experience of the
writer of these talks A business man
wanted a note of 500 discounted to
meet his payroll The banker knew
him. His moral standing was good.
In looking up the account his balance
was but nifty cents. Now what did
that indicate? Just this: That the
would-be borrower had trusted every
body until his capital was on his
/ books, here, there and everywhere, and
he was not collecting his bills. He
had no free money" to carry on his
business. He had no working capital.
He was strapped" The banker was
perfectly justified in asking the bor-
rover either to make better collec-
tons, or get his affairs in such shape
that when pay day came he would not
have to depend upon borrowed money
to pay his men.
Nothing so hurts an application for
a loan in well managed bank as a
low average balance, and all good
bankers give heed to this factor.
Therefore, as a starting point, do your
business through a bank, depositing
your receipts and making your pay
; ments by check, and keep a balance
large enough to gain the bankers
good will when he looks at his ledgers
to see how much of your own money
you have available when the needs of
business require. Don't do all your
business on borrowed money, for if
the banker finds it out, he won't dis
count your note.

Hoods SarsapariIla and Peptiron Pills

For instance, Hoods Sarsaparilla,

Peptiron Pills, the new iron tonic,
are especially recommended for con-
ditions that are radically or charac-

nation Of these conditions. They are
afflicted with swellings Of the glands
