LAsoRINa MEN SAVE MONEY.

LABORiNG MEN SAVE MONEY.
(In lieu of a letter, Mr.. J. @. Bas-
sett, president OF the Aberdeen Ma
tional Bank, substitutes an interview
with him, published in the Aberdeen
Daily News of October Al, herewith
appended.)
J.. C. Bassett. president Of the Aber-
deem National bank, basing his pre-
diction on increases shown by agures
complied today In the savings depart
ment Of the bank, believes that the
majority OF the voters Of Aberdeen
win vote for prohibition this fall. He
thinks that they will not abandon the
prosperity That the city has enjoyed
since 1t went dry.
During the dry campaign said
Mr.. Bassett, we thought we would
have vacant business buildings and
that rent would decrease. The CON
traTy has been true. Not only have
we no vacant business locations but
very little time was lost during the
transition period. Places formerly
occupied by saloons were quickly
used by stores in a business that
would be of beneit to The community,
Probably one Of the best incica-

savings of the people. Our savings
department has increased its number
of deposits during the last year forty
one per cent, while the total amount
of money in savings is even a larger
percentage. Many men who never
had an account during the reign OF
saloons now have accumulated quite
an amunt, while others have material
ly improved their homes.
THE stores report not only increas-
| ed sales, but an increased percentage
OF cash sales.
There is no doubt in my mind that
! Aberdeen will vote dry with q larger
majority than ave at this coming
| election"

Ever since the discovery Of uric acid
in the blood by Scheele, in 1775, and
the bad effect it had upon the body,
scientists and physicians have striven
to rid the tissues and the blood of
this poison. Because of it's over
abundance in the system it causes
backache, pains here and there, rheu-
matism, govt, gravel, neuralgia and
sciatica. 1t was DR.. Pierce who dis
covered new agent, called "Anuric,"
which will throw out and completely
eradicate this uric acid from the sys-
tenn. "Anuric" is 81 times more po-
tent than lithia. and consequently you

Squabbe Over Officers.
Congress in Tie winter Of 1775, REQ
ognizing the necessity of raising troops
to take the place of those whose terms
expired, resolved to provide twenty
six regiments, with power to Wash
ington to select the officers, which re-
suited in many perplexities for him
and his general officers, for, as Wash
lngton wrote, Connecticut wanted no
Massachusetts man in her corps. Mas
sachusetts could see no necessity for
having Rhode Island man in hers
and New Hampshire says it is very
hard that her experienced officers
should be discarded because her own
regiments cannot provide for them

stood aloof to see what advantage they
could make for themselves. The diff
Guilty with the soldiers was greater,
if possible, than with the officers.

Put Washington in Dilemma.
Up to November 10 only 966 men
had enlisted. By November % they
had reached $500, and they all wanted
furlough. Washington wrote: "Ou1
situation is truly alarming, and of this
General Howe is well apprised, it be-
ing the common topic of conversation
when the people left Boston last Fri
day" In private letter Of the same
time he wrote "Such a dearth of pub

vantages in this great change Of mill

strOy the little subOrdination 1 have
been laboring to establish and run me
into one evil while I am endeavoring
to avoid another. But the less must
be chosen"
After five years of experience in
command Of the armies, Washington
thus expressed himself in a letter to
the president Of the congress, dated
August 20, 1880:
Had we formed a permanent army
in the beginning, which, by the con-
tinuance of the same men in service,
had been capable Of discipline, we
never should have had to retreat with
a handful of men across the Delaware
in l776, trembling for the fate of Amer
lea, which nothing but the infatuation
of the enemy could have saved; we
should not have remained all the sue
ceeding winter at their mercy, with
sometimes scarcely a sufficient body
of men to mount the ordinary guard.
We should not have been at Valley
Forge, destitute Of everything, in a
situation neither to resist nor to re-
tire. We should not have seen the
country ravaged, our towns burned,
the inhabitants plundered, abused
murdered, with IMMUNITY.
Army Expenses Doubled.
"The arrangement of our finances is
essentially to be ascribed to it. The
expenses Of the war and the emissions
of paper money have been greatly
multiplied by it. We have great part
Of the time had two sets Of men to
feed and to pay-the discharged men
going hcmc and the levies coming in.
"Our discipline has been much hurt,
if not ruined, by such constant
changes. There is every reason to
believe that the war has been pro-
tracted OH this account
A little later Washington wrote re-
garding that defeat of General Gates
at Camden: Regular troops alone are
equal to the exigencies of modern war
fare, as we'll for defense as offense,
and wherever a substitute is attempt
ed it must prove illusory and ruincus'
"In my ideas of the true system OF
war, the object ought to be to have a
good army rather than large one
During the entire war the lack OF
money entailed greatest suffering upon
the army, but the men of the continen,

or two regiments, were true to the

poverty at home, nakedness and de-
