Notes In Circulation.

The peak of circulation of the reserve
banks occurs around the holiday period
and the statement of the local Reserve
Bank showed that this season was no ex-
ception. Reserve notes in circulation were
SSS0.S69.790 In the current statement
against 1871 $4,000 a week ago. That
peak. however, is s6,000,000 less than
the aggregate around July 4 and the ag
gregate around Labor Day. In 1919 and
1918 the peak occurred during Christ
mas week and, therefore. officials say
the circulation trend is downward.

gained twenty pounds and feel like
was never sick day in my life," he
continued.
MY trouble started year ago. Ny
appetite left me and what l forced
myself to eat would cause, a severe
pain in my stomach and shortness of
breath. Meats were almost like poison
to my system; I got as weak as a
kitten and the rheumatism laid hold
of me so bad / could hardly drag my
self about. My kidneys seemed to give
way, too, and my back hurt so
couldn't stoop over. My head ached
like it would split and 1 would get so
dizzy I had to hold to something to
keep from falling. I lost sleep and
out.
.Tanlac helped me so much that L
was out of bed in three weeks and
now l am like a different man. All my
troubles are entirely gone, 1 am back at
work every day and do. my work so
easily 1 surprise the men who work
with me. l never felt better in my
life and 1 give Tanlac all the credit
for my splendid health" ,-a.5.-...

Enforcing Confscatory Rates.

Cities cannot enforce terms of street rail-
way franchise which so limits fares that the
company operates at loss. This is the gist OF
decision recently returned by Judge Henry
T. Reed of the United States court for the
northern district of Iowa in a case involving
the traction lines. at Dubuque
The Dubuque car company had franchise
fixing the rate of fare at 5 cents. Employees
struck for higher wages and the company de-
clared it could not meet the demand without
greater returns. The city brought suit to
compel the company to operate according to
the terms of its franchise. Figures were sub
nitted to show that it cost sos cents to carry
passenger, not allowing anything for re-
turns on the capital invested. The company
insisted that the terms of the franchise could
not be enforced when they amounted to con-
fiscaton.
Ruling on this point the court said in eff
feet, that the provisions as to rate of fare con-
tanned in the company's franchise do not con.
stitute contract between the parties; thai
the provisions were and are beyond the powe,
OF the city to enact, and are therefore void

Subject for Sermons.

w. AS theme for sermons and lesson to
gwayward youth the sequel to the attempted
sholdup of an Illinois Central train near Chi
cago last Thursday night has not been often
equaled.
Yesterday afternoon hearse passed
through the streets Of Chicago 1t was fol-
lowed by single taxicab. In the hearse were
the body OF Horace Leroy Walton, shot by the
police after he had held up the train and killed
! an officer, and his father, L. T. Walton, who
died of shock and grief while on the way to
Chicago from his home in St. Joseph There
was only one passenger in the taxicab-the
mother and wife. taking the remains of all she
held dearest--those for whom she had lived
and worked and hoped-away to the tomb.
Father and son were buried in the same grave
today in Champaign, III.
The story of the father, killed by his sons
crime, is pitiful enough but that of the mother
is tragic beyond any words to picture. What
son, or what daughter, turning to the prim-
rose path can contemplate it without taking
thought whittier it may lead?

V d MR.. ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: When l
was % l was very popular and
went everywhere. One young man
especially cared so much for me
that it made him crazy when I went
out with others. His love for me
was so great that / promised to
marry him.
After our marriage my husband
was called out of town because OF
business and so We moved to an
other state. / am an only child and
miss my parents terribly. My hus-
band still loved me, but he had
won me and that seemed all that
was necessary. He never took me
anywhere, but he did try to relieve
my loneliness by giving me animals.
He bought two Angora kittens be-
cause both were so cute he couldn't
choose.
/ stood life away from home two
years and then l became so des-
perately homesick that my father
secured position for my husband
in our home town. l was certainly
glad to get back. Only one thing is
different: my husband is not like
the husbands of my former friends.
He is growing stouter every day
and he is lazy, while their husbands
are alert young men.
When ! am alone with my hus-
band love him. He loves me, too
