Some female troubles may through
neglect reach stage when an opera
ton is necessary. But most of the
commoner ailments are not the sur
gical ones; they are not caused by
serious displacements, tumors, or
growtbs, although the symptoms
may appear the Same.
When disturb ing ailments first ap-

BANK FAILURES.

According to figures Of bank fall
ures ia 1921. reported by the Comp
troller OF the Currency, II was the
third most disastrous year for Ma
tional banks since the system was es-
tablished. There were thirty-seven
failures. the aggregate liabilities be-
ing $23,677,367 Additionally three
National banks went through receiv-
erships, but solvency being demon
strated they resumed business. In
the panic year of 1898 tho failures
numbered sixty five. and In 1897 there
were thirty-eight.
The showing for last year is by no
means bad one for the National
banks, considering that the number
In the system is now double what ii
was in 1893. State and private banks
were hit harder by the general de-
preston: 365, with liabilities aggre-

an enormous Pile OF rotting garbage
which sends a nauseating stencil over
a large part OF the city each day.

When the situation is considered Il
seems astounding that the deliberate
creation Of such q dangerous nuisance
should have been permitted. When
the garbage disposal plants failed
some plan should have been adopted
for disposing Of the garbage coliec-
tions, instead Of allowing them TO ac-
cumulate.
