out Of money, and, what was worse,
had no means of procuring more.
There was CONSERVATION all over
the city. For time, Mr.. Strahan' 5
friends would not believe that his
Bank had failed; Sir Johns fellow
churchman denied that such a thing
could happen.
Then came a greater shock than
any. The three partners had been
arrested at the instigation of the
Revd. D. Griffiths, who alleged that
they had sold his securities left for
safe keeping. Sir John was arrested
at his home while reading the family
prayers. 1t was too late for him to
be taken to London that night and he
was escorted to the train next morn
ing They entered carriage, slammed
the door in the face of the arrestine
officers, and the train went on without
them.

In this story, it was not so much
a project as a reputation that was the
bubble. though mems hope of gain
helped to blow it and kept it floating
for all its many years.
Who in the year 1852 would distrust
the Banking firm of Strahan. Paul and
Bates, London? 1t wasBestablished in
the year 1920. The only time it had
ever had trouble in meeting It's obi
cations was when King Charles II
wanted some money for his lavish en-
tertainments, and seized all the spare
cash in its vaults.
Moreover, Mr. Strahan had just In
herited a fortune of $1,000,000; Sir
religious works, and Mr.. Bates was a
shrewd business man.
Therefore, when it became known
that the Bank was going to finance
Gandell, the contractor, to undertake
some railway works in France and
Italy, none of the customers became
alarmed, though railway investments
we're not popular lately. Instead, ev
eryone thought that this must be an
exceptionally profitable venture fol-
the Bank to change its practice Of not
lending on what was regarded as a
hazardous undertaking. Nor was there
any surprise when the Bank began de
veloping a coal mine on Lord Mos
tyn's estate. Instead of Withdrawals
people came with their money so tha
they too might share in the harvest
For the Bank promised to pay high
er interest than any other institution
in London
So time went on. Mr.. Strahan ap
peared in society, attracting all by hi;
personality; Sir John became a mem
Der of every new church society o.
philanthropic body. And both brough
customers to the Bank from their &C
tivities in the outside world. Mr.
Strahan got the accounts of all veal
thy visitors to London; through ST
John the Bank became treasurer o
all the church bodies and societies.
So great was the customers faitl
in their Bankers that often they asked
them to make purchases of securities
and lodge them in the vaults of the in
stitution for safe keeping. One o
these was the Revd D. Griffiths, VIII
asked Sir. John to purchase him $120
900 worth of Dutch bonds.
Whispers went around that tn

Messrs. Strahan, Paul and Bate
thought enough of the venture to

OF course the partners spent money
but not extravagantly-just so mucl

ton in life.

merely went TO the Banks till for 1T.
This had been going on for many
years-even in the time when their
fathers were partners.
Thus, in the year 1916. Mr.. Strahans
and Sir Johns parents had helped
themselves to 100000. Ten years
later, Mr.. Strahans father borrowed
another $4,000 for himself. This
! debt he left to the Bank to carry on,
and the late Sir John Paul left it
another of s250,0O0.
Instead of trying to pay their debts
i off, the new partners borrowed more.
! Perhaps they thought they did well in
i following the example of King Charles
II in borrowing their customers cash
without permission.
But they took more than the king

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG

Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young is to
feel young-to do this you must
watch your liver and bowels
there's no need of having sallow
complexion-dark rings under your
eyes-pimples-a bilious look In
your face-dull eyes with no spar
kle. Your doctor will tell you nine
ty per cent of all sickness comes
from inactive bowels and liver.
DR.. Edwards, a well-known ply
stefan in Ohio, perfected a vege-
table compound mixed with olive
oil TO act on the liver and bowels,
which he gave to his patients for
years.
Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the
substitute for calomel, are gentle
in their action yet always effective
They bring about that natural
buoyancy which all should enjoy
by toning up the liver and clearing
the system of impurities.
