BANKING STABILIZED.

M HAT the federal reserve system has done for the ma
tional banks is su~ccinctly summarized in three
charts just issued by the comptroller of the CURRENCY,
graphically epitomizing the story of the banks for the
past As years.
Resources of national banks have had a greater
growth during the past 5 years under the reserve system,
than they had in the 40 years Immediately prior to 1914.
From 1874 to 1914 they increased $9,487, 854,609. From
1914 to 1919 they increased $9,503, 1882. Deposits in
creased from $795,500, 586 in 1874 to $8,393,372, 72 in 1914
and from the latter figure to SIS, 924y865 900 in 1919. The
total resources in 1919 are $20,799, $4,000.
The prosperity of the banks, which reflect the pros
|perity of the country under the reserve system is shown
by the fact that the net earnings of national banks in the
past five years have shown a greater increase than in
the entire 40 years before. The chart shows the earnings
as $62, $685. 600 in 1874, which shrunk during the hard
times of the latter 70s to $4,000, 900, reached a peak of
SIG, 000,0 900 in 1891, shrank to $4,000 900 in 1895 and 1897,
1t is however, in elimination Of failures and increas-
ed stability and safety that the federal reserve system has
most benefited the people. In 40 years from 1874 to
1914, bank failures occurred on an average of che in every
Il days, while since January l, 1913, such failures have
been only one in Il months. From 1874 to 1893 there was
an average OF 17.6 failures each year, from 1893 to 1914,
an average Of 16 failures per year. In 1914 there were 8
failures, in 1915, 5 failures, in 1916 and 1917, 3 failures
each year, in 1918, one failure and in 1919 to date, none.
The record for the past % months has been thirty times
better than the record prior to 1914.
In achieving these results, credit is also due the banks
for cooperation and sound management. Banking has
been stabilized on a 'safety-first fol. depositors' basis,
the wild-catter and Spectator eliminated---all of which is
a cause for thanksgiving.

LONDON PAPER SAYS
PRINCES WELCOME
IN U.S.S CHEERING

London, Nov. 25.-The hearty recep-
ton accorded to the Prince of Wales
in the United States has created a
atmosphere" which is badly needed
to counterfeit the senate's action to-
ward the peace treaty, the Daily News
declares.
TO suggest The princes visit forged
permanent bonds between Great Bril-
tain and the United States, would be a
manifest exaggeration,'" the News
said, "but 1t believed relations had
been so strengthened hat the British
public would not consider the senate 5
APPARENT rejection of the treaty as an
affront to the nation"
The entire press expressed greatest
appreciation of the enthusiastic fare
well accorded the prince in New York.
While the success of the princes Wis
1t was anticipated, the Times said
reality far surpassed anticipation"
THE American people have shown
plainly they like the prince" this news
paper asserted ,tand I'VE in this coun-
try say quite frankly we like them the
more for liking the prince so much.
The Anglo-American bond has been
clear for years to close observers, but
the princes visit blazoned it in the
streets and meeting places of the Uni
ted States, teaching it to great crowds
there and making it a far greater truth
than in the past"

PHI MEXICAN MESS.

THE American Mining Congress views with alarm the
! course of the Mexican government and calls anew for
intervention for the protection of Americans in the south
ern republic.
This is part and parcel Of the propaganda that has
been conducted for the past six years to embroil the two
nations and force American intervention. There is so
much colored news, so much deliberate falsehood, so palp-
able an attempt to create discord with Mexico, in order
that American e%xploiters may profit, that every story
from Mexico must be viewed with suspicion, as put forth
with a sinister motive.
The @Mexican Review" published in the city of Mex
leo, which is also propaganda against intervention, ex-
plains some Of the "bogies' raised by the intervention
lists. The denounced land law is thus explained: When
foreigners acquire Mexiacn real estate they must re-
nounce their rights as foreign citizens "for the purpose of
that especial property" and promise not to appeal to their
home governments about it---not an unreasonable require
ment and one which Ais American citizens agreed to dur
ing the past year. But two Japanese applied for lands,
and only q third as many Germans as Americans.
The strained relations between the two nations are due
largely to the fool attitude of Carranza, who is afflicted
with megalomania as well as pro-Germanism. His exalt-
ed idea of his own dignity and Importance, his high-hand-
edness and his insolence have about worn out the patience
of Americans and play directly into the hands Of his en-
emies.

Comb Sage Tea In
Hair to Darken II
Grandma kept her locks dark, glossy,

and Sulphur

The old time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grandmoth-
er's recipe, and folks are again using
it to keep their hair a good, even col
or, which is quite sensible, as we are
living in an age when q youthful APP
pearance is of the greatest advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have
the troubleome task of gathering the
sage and the mussy mixing at home.
All drug stores sell the ready to use
product, improved by the addition of
other ingredients, called "Wyeth IS
Sage and Sulphur Compound" 1t is
very popular because nobody can dis
cover it has been applied. Simply moist
en- your comb or q soft brush with it
and draw this through your hair, TAX
ing one small strand at a time; by
morning the gray hair disappears, but
what delights the ladies with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound, is that,
besides beautifully darkening the hair
after a few APPLICATIONS, it also pro
duces that soft lustre and appearance
of abundance which is so attractive.

Oft I envy Ebenezer, Of the ragged
coat and hair; he's a needless, happy
geezer, who has never known a care.
All the day he sits and whites. with
his back against the wall, and he
cares no lots or TITLES what Of evils
may befall. Dynasties and thrones
may tremble. ana he doesn't care a
boot; mighty armies may assemble,
and the battle bugle foot; but the
marching Of a Caesar on new victories
intent. doesn't bother Ebenezer, doesn't
Jar him worth a cent. While he has
his daily yitt1es he Is stranger to a
care, and he whistles and he whites,
with the chinchbugs in his hair. All
the land is in commotion, every day
new problems rise; from the east to
western ocean there are mad excited
guys; there are spasins, wild. titanic.
every way q man nay turn; Ebenezer
sits and whistles, following his lifelong
plan. while the papers print epistles
from the Constant Reader" clan,
pointing out that Doom Is coming to
our bulwarks and our shrines. and that
Nemises Is humming all along the
vengefnl lines. Ebenezer's view is
broader than these visions of despair:
while he has his daily fodder. what
should Ebenezer care? IL there's trou-
Bile on the morrow, why 60 forth that
woe to meet? Why should he consort
with sorrow, when he has enough to
eat?
