season of the year The body is
working harder- now than in warm
weather The increased heat pro-
duction means more work for the
kidneys heart and lungs It seems
as though people tire more easily
at this season of the year
The best protection against influ-
enza and pneumonia is:
1 Plenty of rest long hours of
sleep
2 Careful diet more vegetables
salads and whole wheat bread less
meat plenty of water
3 - Warm feet dry clothes
- 4 Keep fingers " out of mouth
wash hands ‘before eating
5 Avoid getting chilled
I have also found both in my priv-
ate practice and during my exper-
ience in the army during the war
that the use of Influenza Mixed
Serum taken in the early fall and
late spring almost invariably immun-
ed people against colds and the
like and at the present time I very
strongly advise the use of this se-

X - Bonding Bask Failures '
It will require no less than $12-
000000 of cash to reimburse deposi-
tors in the failed state banks of Ok-
lahoma This is a conservative esti-
mate by leading bankers Every ad-
ditional failure will add thousands
and probably millions more to the
total
' The question before the legislature
is “Shall the taxpayers of Oklahoma
who are not engaged in the banking
business take $12000000 out of
their -own - assets and pay off the
debts of bankers who have failed?
Shall the farmer sell pigs and cattle
the salaried man set aside a portion
of his pay check and the merchant
donate a share of the goods on his
shelves in order to raise $1-2000-000
more in -tax money so that it
may be turned over to re-establish
the failed banks?”
The people of this state are not
responsible for the bank failures It
is not the fault of the taxpayers
that the banks failed Of the scores
of bank failures which have occurred
in the past two year not a half doz-
en failures could be called clean
failures In almost every instance
violation of the banking laws were
common and most of the losses were
Influenza and Pneumonia
From Oklahoma State Beard of
Health
Dr A E Davenport Commissione
From rumor and personal infor-
mation Oklahoma appears to be
having a considerable amount of sick-
ness variously classified as colds la
grippe and so on
It is not apparent at this time
that Oklahoma will suffer from an
influenza outbreak as visited the
country in 1918 and 1920 nor is
there need of any great alarm but
I wish to impress on the people ot
the state the necesity of taking
care of themselves on the first ap-
pearance of a cold Consult your
physician and go to bed or at least
in doors until cured The gratest
danger is the liability of pneumonia
following one of these attacks
A good rule to follow at all times
whether influenza impends or not is
to conserve one’s enerygy at this

due more to crooked dealing than
bad judgment-The crookedness ot
many of the banks was largely a 'tied
by the crookedness of a former biik
commissioner whose address is now
unknown He certainly had the
knowledge' of crooked conditions in
many banks and the evidence shows
that instead of improving the con-
ditions in some cases he deliberately
made them worse
Under any guaranty - bank law
which is really a mutual co-insurance
law every crooked bank that failed
added an additional burden on hon-
est banks which remained in busi-
ness There have been so many
crooked banks and so many failures
that the burden which has been pyra-
mided upon other state banks is un-
surmountable and the losses cannot
be made good by the guaranty law
State banks cannot be assessed
more than one-fifth of 1 per cent of
their deposits in order to meet the
losses of the failed banks’ and this
sum if collected from all the state
banks would not be sufficient to
pay interest on $12000000 to say
nothing -of paying the principal
- In order that the condition of the
existing state banks shall' not be fur-
ther jeopardized it seems as if the
wise thing to do would be to repeal
immediately the present guaranty
law and relieve the sound banks from
any responsibility in future failures
If the state issue bonds and raises
money to re-establish the failed
banks and repay the losses of all de-
positors the state itself will lose the
money because there are no re-
sources among either the failed banks !
or the remaining sound banks from
which a sum of $12000000 pan be
obtained
Does the state desire to' put a
premium on graft law violation and
crooked bank dealings by taxing
the wage earner the merchant and
the farmer to re-establish the busi-
ness of reckless or crooked bankers?
If the taxpayers pay the debts of
failed bankers why not also pay the
debts of merchants who have failed?
Numbers of both honest and ener-
getic business me have failed in
the past few years and other honest
people have lost money through
their failure Why - not reimburse
people who hold claims against fail-
ed business houses as well as claims
againstffailed banks?
If in the past few years we had teaks ’ It is not known whether
j iit i — — J ’ x — -ny one actually took the trouble to
get the - cooking formula from the
Porter House chef It is said here
that chefs merely started calling the
best steaks “Porter House”
The old hotel declared a menace
by the state fire mashai has had a
half dozen names during its life-
time but there are still a few resi-
dents of Sandusky who will remem-
ber its as the Porter House
had both a fearless and honest bank
commissioner at least 90 per cent
of the bank failures would never
have occured If all the state banks
had been under federal bank exam-
iners and had been connected with
the federal reserve system many of
the crooked or reckless loans would
never have been made and few fail-
ures have occurred
We neede a law to protect present
and future depositors more than we
need laws to reimburse the past loss-
es of depositors There is one coun-
try where bank failures are unknown
It is said-that in China there has not
been a bank failure in 500 years
This fact is due to the Chinese law
which provides that when bank
fails the banker is immediately be-
headed The execution takes place
first and the investigation of the
bank is made afterwards
If there were some feasible way in
which the state could lend its credit
for the aid of depositors who have
sustained Josses that would be a
worthy accomplishment providing
the state could surely and eventually
be fully reimbursed for its loans
That the state should lend its credit
to incompetent bankers or that it1
should donate taxpayers’ money to
reimburse the losses of the unfortu-
nate depositors in failed banks is an
exceedingly radical and hazardous
experiment — Daily Oklahoman

Porter House Gone
Sandusky Ohio — The hotel for'
which your porter house steak was
named is being razed
Built in 1817 the Porter House'
considering its size and accomoda-
tions is said to be unrizalled in the
midwest for picturesque historical
background
Charles Dickens who visited it in
1847 is credited with giving the ho-
tel its first flush of fame Dickens
was so pleased with a steak served
him in the little dining room that
when in Buffalo a few days later he
asked for a steak “like they serve at
the Porter House in Sandusky”
The English author spread the
fame of the Porter House steak
throughout the country by dwelling
on it3 deliciousness in many Ameri-
can addresses
Soon after leading cafes and ho-
tels announced “Porter House”
