Giddy DAYS of 1882

Those commentators who have
reached the shady side Of fifty or are
entering the three-scQe period US
ually view with alarm the speed of
the age in which they live. Search
the biographies or peruse the me-
moirs of the ancients and by chang
ing few terms, you can imagine that
you are reading modern attack on
flaming youth or diatribe against
the mad pursuit of pleasure.
Such q situation Is brought to mind
wildly in the recent birthday celebra-
ton of Alexandra Gueniot, former
president Of the French Academy Of
Medicine. He was born in 1882 and at
the birth Of this man, his father wrote
as follows:
THE poor infant enters the
world In very troubled times.
Hardly seventeen years have pass
ed since peace was restored to Eur
ope (after Waterloo), and We still
suffer cruelty from the effects of
the war. I would like to see my
son embracing the noble career of
medicine, but see quite we'll that
he cannot: one Of the heads of
the faculty has confided to me
that this profession Is literally in
vaded. And then, this madness Of
speed is wearing out men. Only
yesterday I saw post-chaise
tearing along. It makes one gid
dy! The horses were galloping at
more than fifteen miles an hour.
And every one wants his car

Cooperate With Nature
"The tendency Of all disease Is
toward recovery" was a favorite
expression of a professor in q
medical school. BY this he meant
to convey to us the thought that
Nature puts forth heroic effJEs
always to restore. Cooperation
with Nature is the true work OF
medical science. Hydrotherapy,
or the use of water, the various
modalities of the electric current,
the varied rays of light, combined
with the most suitable foods, rest
and exercise, sur oundingS Of
quietnesS and cheerfulness, min
gled with helpful instruction and
restful entertainment are Ma
ture's most effective assistants in
overcoming disease. The sani-
tarium's aim is to cooperate with
Nature so that she may work
most successfully to rebuild blood,
nerve and. muscle. Diagnosis must
precede treatment. To this end
complete diagnostic equipment
has been made available to insure
the highest quality of service.

the local Bankers Association
and the American Bankers AS

AS an indication of his ma
tional reputation as a banker and
his recognized ability as an
organizer, he was recently asked
tc assume the responsibility of
organizing the banks of Washing
ton into a unit Of the national
Credit Corporation, the purpose
of which is to stabilize financial
and economic conditions by the
utilization of bank resources and
credit throughout the United
States.

Bank Has Grown
Mr.. Fleming. a dominant per
sonality, a keen student of bank
ing, and an outstanding leader,
has proven his mettle and the
bank under his skillful guidance
has shown a remarkable growth
in the last few years.
On December 81, 1925, shortly
after Mr.. Fleming's election. the
total assets of the bank we're
$43, ,146,000, with capital $780,.
900 surplus and undivided prof
its $2,054, 900 and deposits $780,
10000. Six years later, on De
cember 81, 1881, total assets
were $64,104,0 900, capital $1,000
900, surplus and undivided prof.
it's $3.543.000 and deposits $54,.
O54,000, a phenomenal record.
One of the noteworthy incl
dents of Mr.. Fleming's admins
tration was the consolidation with
the Farmeres and Mechanics Ma
tional Bank of Georgetown in
1928.
With the acquisition of this
patriarch of old Georgetown, the
Riggs National Bank now has
six strategically located branch
offices and offers the banking
public complete city-wide finan-
cial service.
Mr.. Fleming like his prede-
cessors who so ably guided the
destinies of Riggs. is a man of
untiring energy and devotion to
civic enterprises. His days are
full and his duties numerous,
but no plea for constructive aid
in advancing the city's welfare
goes unheeded by him.
Many Activities
He is a director Of the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Com.
pany, the Potomac Electric
Power Company, the Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone Com
pany and the Acacia Mutual Life
Insurance Company.

With a considerable degree Of
success these aims have been
achieved. Two buildings adorned
the campus, one a nurses dormi-

tarium building with rooms for
approximately 40 patients, when
the doors we're first opened on
June 13, 1907.

To write the history Of an in
stitution requires that we retrace
our steps into the past, where we
may find the place of its origin
or its birthplace. It's beginnings
may at first be found as only a
dream or a profound conviction Of
a great need in the mind Of a
man or a group of men carrying
the responsibility of a large and
growing work. The Washington
Sanitarium and Hospital at Ia.
koma Park, Md, was thus born.
B. F. Gilbert, the former owner
Of the present site of the Wash
ington Sanitarium and Hospital,
for years cherished the plan of
having on this very spot a med
ical institution, and he finally
succeeded in securing the CO.
operation of a celebrated physi-
clan Of New York to build such
an institution, but the financial
troubles of 1893 prevented the
consummation of his plan.
However, it was a source Of the
greatest satisfaction to Mr.. Gil
bert in his declining years to
know that persons skilled in the
treatment of disease, should yer.
ify his judgment in selecting this
as an ideal spot on which to erect
a sanitarium. ...
Established in 1904
In 1904 the washington SAM
tarium was only a definitely
planned objective, backed by or
ganized effort to gather funds
from the members of the Sev-
enth-day Adventist churches in
all parts of the United States.
Here, as in all worthy en-
deavors. patience and continuity
of effort brought success, and
from the faVorably situated but
primeval forest along beautiful
Sligo Creek, approximately eight
miles north Of the Capital, there
appeared in stone and mortar an

News from Germany

North Dakota farmers will be in
terested in the report from Germany
that scientists at the Kaiser Wilhelm
Institute have developed a new wheat
which will yield twice as many
bushels per acre as any now planted
The basis for the development was
laid in the work of the late Luther
Burbank, American plant wizard
and If the report is true, it portends
additional difficulty for wheat ex-
porting nations, including the Uni
ted States.
II generally adopted and enough
seed is available, the alleged new
wheat would make Germany self
supporting, with respect to bread
grain, by 1894. Other importing ma
tions also might go off the list Of
world purchasers, or nearly so.
Unquestionably the development is
a good one, If true, and of vast value
to the world when considered over 9
period Of time. It hastens the day
when man will truly be lord of crea-
ton with relatively little work to do
to keep society supplied with its
needs.
But it will not solve our surplus
problem which now presses so heav.
lily upon us. It will do us harm
rather than good, until and unless
We learn how to transform these ad.
vances from the curses they are now
to the blessings they should be.

A cup of coffee contains a fair med
icinal dose of caffeine, an alkaloid of
the same class as strychnine, NOR
phine, atrophine, etc.. tho caffeine Is
comparatively nonpoisonous. The pur-
pose for which physicians administer
the drug caffeine by mouth or by n.y.
podermic injection is stimulation. It
stimulates the heart; it stimulates the
cerebrum; it stimulates the spinal
cord; it stimulates the kidneys.
A cup of tea contains small dose
of similar alkaloid called theme.
Tho theme is not used in medicine, its
effects are similar in all respects to
those of caffeine. tea being somewhat
milder than coffee
1t is conceivable that in certain cir
cumstances these beverages or drugs
might be beneficial for child, but
that would be a matter for the physi-
clan to decide. Certainly the effects
of tea or coffee are not desirable for
the normal, healthy child. That is
why we think children under 16 years
of age should not take tea or coffee.
If children must have beverage
other than water, soup, milk or any
fresh fruit juice in season, cocoa OF
chocolate is less injurious to them
than is tea or coffee. But when q
child is given cocoa or chocolate as
beverage the greater the amount Of
milk or cream and the less chocolate
or cocoa in the drink the better fol
health. Often the child who has beer
spoiled at home will refuse to TAXI

tary of the Northwest Bancorpora-
ton, has mailed to many editors in
North Dakota a reprint from the
monthly magazine Fortune entitled:

In some instances the pool hall man
agement was better than that OF the
bank.
Thousands Of bank failures
throughout the nation have focused,
as never before, public attention up
OH the banking structure Of the ma
ton. Canada, with strict system
Of branch banking, and dominion as
against local control, has had few
failures. The great parent institu-
tons of Canada have given the nee.
essary credit assistance and great
losses to depositors have been avoid
ed. The Canadian system is branch
banking with a capital B.
The United States has been a land
Of easy banking laws and wildcat fl
nancing. This nation has found to
its sorrow that, in banking at least,
there cannot be too strict regulation
in the protection of the depositors
money.
When branch or chain banking ar
rived in North Dakota there was the
usual outcry of monopoly, Sitting of
business and the Inauguration of
hard-boiled tactics. AS matter of
fact, the easy and lax practices of
many years spoiled many bank pa
irons and they should realize that
the only remedy that could be ap-
piled is the one now in process, not
only in North Dakota but through
out the nation. Bank operations
must be standardized and banks
made safe repositories for private
and public funds.
Fortunes article points out "how
memorable economies have slaugh-
tered our small banks. Now there
can be no happy ending until our
bankers learn that banking must be
a conservative profession
The article is true picture of
banking trends during the last de-
cade or so. It concludes with this
comment:
THE other paramount interest of |
the public is that its bank deposits
shall always be repaid, dollar for
dollar. During the years when most
Of our industries were infants, we as |
a nation may have profited by hay
ing bankers who lent money freely
rather than carefully. But the years
Of childhood are past? Now we re-
quire a banking system which at
tends to the cardinal duty of bank
ing, which keeps deposits safe.
Branch banking may make this OBJ
ject easier to attain, but no bank
ing system can of itself replace the
need for better bankers"
