CURES
BLOOD POISON
Contagious Blood Poison usually begins with a tiny sore or pimple as
the only outward evidence of its presence. But in a short while its many
symptoms begin to make their unwelcome appearance. The mouth and
throat ulcerate itching rashes appear on the body the haircomes out easily
brown splotches appear on the limbs etc. So highly contagious is the dis-
ease that it is sometimes communicated from one person to another by the
use of the same toilet articles or handling the clothes of an infected person.
S. S. S. has been curing Contagious Blood Poison lor more than forty years.
It goes right down into the circulation and removes every particle of the
poison. While curing the disease S. S. S. adds richness and nourishing
powers to the blood and a person who is cured by the use of S. S. S. will find
that every portion of the system has leen lenefited by the treatment. S. S. S.

The several bills pending before
the legislature' on behalf of which
Mr. Merrlam appeared before the
committees propose to do pretty
much what Mr. Vail outlined from
and powers of such commissions are his viewpoint as the right procedure.
now pending in the Illinois legisla-
ture largely as the outcome of Chica-
go's experinfnts. These bills are
not exerted to pass at this session
but they will pave the way for prob-
able favorable action at the next ses-
sion just as their way was paved by
the work of the special efficiency com-
mission appointed by the Chicago
common council of which Merriam
was chairman and the leading spirit.
Tiie commission method of regu-
lating public utilities has become
a cause. Mr. Merriam Insists that
he has "just begun to flght." He will
continue his efforts in !ehalf of pro-
gTesslve measures notwithstanding
defeat in this election.
Some of the "progressives" see en-
couragement for their cause from the
direction of officials of public service
corporations some of whom have ta-
ken an advanced position on the ques-
tion of American Telephone & Tele-
graph company In his recent annual
report took up that problem. A few-
other notables among corporation of-
ficials are rapidly coming around to
a similar view.
"Public control or regulation" said
Mr. Vail "has come and come to stay.
Control or regulation exercised
through such a body has many advan-
tages over that exercised through
regular legislative bodies or commit
tees. The permanent commission will
be a (uasi-Judlcial body. It should be
made up of meinlvers whose duty it
will lx. and who will have the de-
sire the time and the opportunity to
familiarize themselves with the ques
tions coming Ix'fore them. It should
act only after thorough investigation
and be governed by practice and pre
I cedent for the ctlidance of all con
cerned.
"Kxperience also has demonstrated
that this supervision should stop at
ccntrol and regulation and not man

management should be beyond the re
Representative Rawleigh who Is also
mayor of Freeport introduced a bill
which gives the state railroad and
warehouse commission jurisdiction
over water gas electric and tele-
phone companies outside Chicago
with power to require standard serv
ice and product and to regulate
rates. It is somewhat similar to the
Wisconsin law.
Illinois is showing symptoms of be
coming progressive on this subject.
Senator Kttelson has introduced a bill
providing for one commission for Chi
cago and one for the rest of the state
giving supervisory control over pub-
lic utilities corporations. Senator
Hearn baa a bill giving the railroad
commission jurisdiction over the ex-
press companies. Prof. Kinley of the
University of Chicago has also had In-
troduced a public utilities bill provid-
ing for control by commission.
There to little definite opposition
among the legislators to the princi-
ples embodied in these bills but the
majority of the lower house are new
members and averse to attempting
much In the way of aggressive and
progressive legislation.

from which Cottolcnc is made. Moreover it is

Washington April 5. Forty seven
years ago April 13 1S64 Abraham
Lincoln paused in the cares of civil
war for one of those kind and homely
acts which have lived after him. It
was to pen a personal letter to the
postmaster general asking that offi-
cial to employ Miss Susan Dugger a
young belle of Carlinsville 111. who
was the sole support of her brother
a union soldier crippled at Shiloh.
Miss Hugger got a position and pre-
served the letter.
Secretary MaeVeagh after reading
the same letter today though the pa
per was yellowed with age and the
ink is dim ordered that Miss Dig-
ger's name he not dropped from the
treasury's list of employes though
she has been ill for more than a
year. hen an employe has been ab-
sent without pay that length of time
it is customary to strike the name
from the rolls.
Senator Cuilom brought the letter
to Secretary MaeVeagh who prom
Ised that Miss Dugger may have her
old position If she Is ever able to
work acain. She Is now 70 years
old. Miss Dugger was transferred
from the postoffice department to the
treasury soon after President Lin-
coln's letter got her employment and
became an expert In decfectlng conn
terfeit money. She has handled bil-
lions of dollars some good and many
bad in forty-five years' service for
the government.
THE PLANTERS AND
MANAGEMENT TOO LAX INDI-
VIDUAL DEPOSITS $213321.61
PROTECTED BY GUARANTY.
Bank Commissioner J. D. Lankford
took charge of the Planters and Mer-
cnants bank or this city Thursday
morning and commenced the liquida-
tion of the institution. The bank
wa5 open for business all day receiv-
ing no deposits but paying depositors
as fast as their pass books could be
balanced or statements obtained of
their accounts.
The confidence of the depositors In
the guaranty law was shown by the
fact that at no time was there a rush
of people to get their money. There
were enough people all the time to
keep the clerks busy but nothing like
a crowd either within or outside the
bank.
M. R. Garnett assistant bank com-
missioner was in active charge of
the bank with other assistants from
the bank commissioner's office at the
teller's window. Mr. Garnett estimat-
ed that it would probably take a week
to pay all of the depositors but ex-
pressed the belief that all of those
who were anxious for their money can
be accommodated within a day or two.
The bank guaranty fund was called
into play to supplement the small
amount of actual cash on hand In the
bank but no estimate was made as
to the amount of money that would
be required from that source.
The last statement of the bank
made on March 7 showed Individual
deposits subject to check $213321.61;
demand certificates of deposit $3-
1)09.43; time certificates J49.720.54.
The total assets of the bank at that
time were $323474.91 Including loans
and discounts $252107.02; due from
banke $3011.92 and cash on hand
$12148.67. The capital of the bank
was $50000 and that statement show
ed the undivided profits to be $100.48.
An interesting feature In connec-
tion with the payment of deiiositors
was the fact that folders advertising
a $500000 national bank here which
recently absorbed the largest state
bank In Oklahoma were handed to the
people who came out of the bank as
soon as they reached the sidewalk i
It is understood that an Investiga-j
tion. of the bank's affairs by the state
banking board has been going on for
some time past.
Efforts were made recently to the
effect that a merger of the Planters
and Merchants with another local
state bank but without success.
Commissioner Iinkford assigned as
his reason for taking charge that;
there had been bad management on i
the part of the officers of the bank. '
