the oldest financial institution in

going forward today, the work
being done by officers and direc-
tors of the bank, with the aid of
banking officials here today.
r. B. Creager is president of the in

effect at once. The bank will have a
capital of 100000 and surplus of
$4,000, fully paid

this reorganization has been effected by
the old stockholders, customers and
friends of the institution, with many
other leading citizens of the Rio Grande

cial institution in the Valley will here

have been taken by represent tatives of
each of the other banks in Brownsville

capital will be in better position than
ever to serve it's friends and custom
ers.''
1t is understood that the same of
ficers will continue, with Mr.. Creager
as president, and Mr.. Wagner in active
charge of the bank, and that the same
members of the board of directors will
hold over, with the probability of sew
eral new members being added to the
board of directors.

received confidential bulletins which

naval power in the Pacific were ade-

to the fact that there still existed a well

The society said its statement was

anything of practical value about the
disease are contrary to the facts, the
society says.
The disease must be discovered
early and suitable measures for it's
eradicat ation must be employed in every
case, says the society. adding sur
gerry and the application of X-rays
and radium are the measures which
the medical profession recognizes as
the most effective means of COM
batting the disease.
"A great many more people have
been cured by these measures than
is commonly supposed and the num-
Der is constantly increasing"
