pointed out, but Of course no heed WAS
paid to them. The farmer vote must
be cultivated, and the land banks au-

restricts the charge that can be placed
Oil the original farm-borrower to 6
per cent, it is evident that with the
bonds bearing 51s per cent. tho margin
to the bank in conducting the bust
ness is reduced TO but half OF one per
cent. Private companies usually cX-
poet a margin for conducting business
OF one per cent. The question Is
whether the farm loan banks can do
business az half this margin and meet
expenses.

Most Needed.
People are very often very much
disappointed To find that their family
physician is away from home when
they most need his services. Disease
like pain In the stomach and bowels,
collie and diarrhoea require prompt
treatment, and have In many IN
stances proven fatal before medicine
could be procured or a physician sum
moned. The right way is 10 keep at
hand a bottle OF Chamberlain's Colc
and Diarrhoea Remedy. No physi-
clan can prescribe better medicine
for these diseases. BY having il in
