THINGS WE THINK
Things Others Think and What We Think of the Things Others Think

If you're sure of your ground you're never at sea.
 A "windy" man naturally has an important aid.
 If you have to die in order to be respected, you're not worth it.
 Women are not as easily insulted as they were in grandmother's day.
 Tn biggest job in the world is just being decent tWenty-four hours out of every day.
 Preachers nowadays never wear sideburns and choker collars except on the stage.
 A trombone might not make such a lot of good music but it drowns out lot of bad music
 The really great man often knows he's great but the small man never knows he's small
 A beautiful thought for today: Flat tery doesn't pay the butcher but it may improve your steaks. After man passes a certain age his idea of achievement is to get a pair of shoes broken in to his corns.
 It's getting so nowadays when a politician talks about reducing the cost of living the consumer just laughs a hard, dry, bitter laugh. ,, A girl wishes to marry because other girls do and she doesn't want to get left, and man often mar ries because he gets tired of boarding round

NAVAVL CONSTRUCTION SEOUL D
 CONTINUE

Unless the United States joins the League Of Nations and that organize ton is thereby made effective it would be very unwise not to continue the very vigorous program of naval construction that was begun in 1915- 16 Secretary Daniels has taken the safest course in requesting author Gatlon Tor the construction of at least four more vessels of the heaviest efder and the necessary auxiliary ves- sels to maintain a we'll balanced and effective navy. A continuation of tho program of the Daniels administra- aon or the navy along the lines he suggests would give the United States the most powerful navy in the world, according to experts. It would make possible to over-match the Japanese on the Pacific and leave enoueb strength on the Atlantic to defend the coast.
 The Empire is not one of those that expect war with Japan. But if does SeheVe that the likelihood of war Will be less if we continue to he nra- pared for it. To be ready for war is ene of the cruel necessities in a world which recognizes the arbitrament of arms as the court of last resort Tt k necessity that will exist, however antil an effective League of Nations snail have been formed-Juneau Elm pire.

HOW DOCTORS
treat COLDS
And The FLU
First Step in Treatment Is a Brisk
Purgative With Calotabs, the
Purified and Refined Calomel
Tablets that are Nausea
less, Safe and Sure.

Doctors have found by experience
that no medicine for colds and infiu-
enza can be depended upon for full eff
fectiveness until the liver is made thor
oughlv active. That is why the first
step in the treatment is the new, nausea
less calomel tablets called Calotabs,
which are free from the sickening and
weakening effects of the old style Gallo
mel. Doctors also point out the fact
that an active liver may go long way
towards preventing influenza and IS one
of the most important factors IN en-
abling the patient to successfully with
stand an attack and ward off pneu-
monia.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time with a swallow of water-that s
all. No salts, no nausea nor the slight
est interference with your eating, pleas
ure or work. Next morning your cold
has vanished, your liver is active, your
system is purified, and you are feeling
fine, with a hearty appetite for break
fast. G Druggists sell Calotabs only IN
original sealed packages, price thirty
five cents. Your money will be cheer
fully refunded if you do not find ther.

ANOTHER DAWSON CASE
1T PROVES THAT THERE'S A
WAY OUT FOR MANY SUF-
FERING DAWSON PEOPLE.

Just another report of a case in
Dawson. Another typical case. Kid
ney ailments relieved in Dawson with
Doan's Kidney Pills.
j. E. Stevens, farmer, 419 East
Tenth street, Dawson, says: Several
years ago l was in an accident and
my back was injured. The trouble
weakened my kidneys and ever since
then when l took the least cold it set
tied on my kidneys and caused rheu-
matte pains in my limbs and Shout
ders. l couldn't do any lifting or
stopping and at times l couldn't raise
my right arm. My kidneys acted ir-
regularly and the secretions were
scanty and painful in passage, and
contained sediment. Doan's Kidney
Pills were recommended to me and
I started using them. They soon reg
ulated my kidneys and relieved the
rheumatic pains and all the other kid
ney troubles"

SPENT $1,35O,0OO
IN A SINGLE YEAR
CHICAGO MAN DECLARES AT
TER FEAT DOES NOT KNOW
WHERE MONEY WENT.

CHICAGO, Ill.-Not so long ago
novelist thought it imaginary to let
his hero attempt the supposedly her
culean task of spending a million
dollars in a year. 1t became known
here yesterday that George +. Stegar,
ficulty in administering the finances. Oh
company, has spent more than Sl,35O,-
90 in cold hard cash in twelve months
and had asked for a cOnSerVator to
prevent him from spending the re-
mainder OF his estate.
Steger appeared in the probate court
and told Judge Horner that for some
reason or other money just flowed
through his hands.
I'm spendthrift, Judge he said:
Relating to the Judge story OF
how i'll the year his personal wealth
had dwindled from $1,500,000 to $780,
600, he petitioned that his brother,
Chris G. Steger, president OF the COM
pany, should be appointed conserva-
tor.
The latter's fortune was estimated
at 100000, and he gave a bond OF
S5OO0O0 when Judge Horner made
the appointment. He said that his
estate and his brothers had been about
the same, both having received their
fortune from the estate OF their tath-
er. John Y. Steger, founder OF the
corporation,
When litigation of the estate was
completed Mrs. Louis Steger, the
widow. received her dover right OF
one-third of the estate, valued at 81

Before Judge Horner the spend
thrift son testified that he had no dif-
fculty in administering he finances OF

large sums OF money passed through

But l can't take care OF my own,

A BANK CATECHISM
BY Stuart Patterson Comptroller Guaranty of New York

Endorsed by the Educational Com
mittee of the Georgia Bankers Asso-
citation and published jointly with and
by courtesy of the general trade sec
ton of the Atlanta Constitution.
Q. What is a bank?
A. A bank is an institution char
tered by a state or the national gov
eminent which accepts the care OF
money belonging to individuals, firms
and corporations, thereby, among 9th
er things, relieving them OF the risk
of keeping large sums OF money in
their possession. 1t is also the medium
through which nearly all general bus
mess transactions are ultimately clear
ed. Without the facilities afforded by
banks the business OF the country
would be at a Standstlll.
In the very early days OF civiliza-
ton all commerce was conducted by
barter, trading one product for anoth-
er. Later came the creation OF money,
which greatly advanced the operations
of commerce as it provided a medium
permitting the sale OF a commodity to
one person or in one place, and the
purchase of some other commodity
from another person or in some other
place, thereby affording a wider mark
ct and more opportunities for profit.
The possession or transportation OF
money, however, subjected the owner
to risk of theft and loss of life, and
ultimately banks were organized in
which the money could be deposited
for safekeeping and the owner of the
money could pay his debts by writing
an order on the bank to pay a stated
amount of his money to whomever
he designated and thereby be relieved
of all risk from having large amounts
of money in his possession. These
written orders ultimately became
known as checks and today form one
of the most important mediums for
tranacting business.
@. Is there more than one kind Of
a bank?
A. There are many kinds OF banks
There is a bank of deposit, described
in general way in the foregoing par
agraph, and there are savings banks,
trust companies, private banks, banks
OF discount, acceptance banks and the
federal reserve banks.
Q. How does a savings bank differ
from other banks?
A. A savings bank is one in which
people deposit money that they do
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1921-03-15

mot expect to use Immediately and
upon which they can receive a higher
rate OF interest than is generally al
lowed by banks OF deposit
! .. Why can savings bank pay
a higher rate OF interest?
A. The principal reasons are that
most OF the money is deposited for
long periods and, because of the mac
tive nature of the accounts, the cleri-
cal work in a savings bank is less than
in a bank OF deposit, and consequent
| ly its expenses are much less, as the
accounts are inactive.
O. What is meant by money de-
posted in savings banks for long pc
RODS?
A. Usually savings banks accounts
are started with small sums and are
the proverbial rainy day" COnse-
quently, the money usually remains
until there is urgent need for it, or
until enough has accumulated to war
rant investment in some bond or bus
mess.
Q. If savings banks pay more in
terest, why does not everyone use
a savings bank instead of bank OF
deposit?
A. If savings banks were used for
commercial purposes their expenses
would be so large they would be I'M
able to pay the higher interest and
besides the method of transacting
business by savings bank is entirely
different In a savings bank the usual
method of withdrawing money is up
on the presentation OF bank book,
and it can readily be seen that com
mercial business could, not be transact
ed in that manner.
Q. What is. The difference between
a state bank and a national bank?
A. The principal differences be-
tween state and national banks are:
A state bank is chartered by the state
in which it is located and is subject
to the laws OF the state and eXamina-
tions by state authorities. A national
bank is authorized by act of congress
and is part OF the federal reserve sys-
TEN, while a state bank may or may
not belong to such system.
A state bank cannot issue bank
notes, which a national bank may do,
although under the federal reserve act
of 1913 the major portion of the notes
are now issued through the federal re-
serve banks.
