Every business man and every farmer who deposit or borrow money at the banks are vitally concerned in laws to safeguard de posits and prevent bank panics. These objects are sought to be attained by The National Citizens' League for the promotion of a sound banking system. Of the Nebraska section of the league , Hon. A. E. Cady , wholesale mer chant of St. Paul , is President and Arthur C. Smith , president of the wholesale house of M. E. Smith & Co. , Omaha , is chairman of the executive committee. In a recent interview Chairman Smith said : f "In times of- - financial stress , it is the business men who are most affecteJ , and they .now propose , that congress shall furnish remed ial legislation , which will minimize distress among all classes , and particularly thernacjves. , at.such times. 4'Literature setting forth the objects to be atcutted by the org anization , which it hopes t. < > see incorporated luto-ian ? ; " Is being dis- . ' . A mini f r the ro : iuct , ! of the campaign is heing raised "amorg t.he. business men. un l 'bis fi'ui will binonased b.\ int - v-lual membership fees. "The. League opposes Wall St. control of the financial affairs of the country and its literature ex presses its opposition to the so- called central bank proposed. "There will be an end to bank 'runs' and to panics , whenever it isJ < nerully known among business men and d positors that the indi- v.iiil iiMik-H vill b adequately 1 supported , and that the amount if credit necessary to handle the cur rent exchange will always be sup plied. " Business men generally are in vited to join the league and should i help the movement for banking \ | reform.

Delegates were instructed to go to the Hastings meeting and try to get every Woodman into the same state organization. A committee of five were selected to confer with a like committee at Hastings to join together for the fight , and also that we unite with the Minneapolis convention for the same purpose. Max Viertel and I. M. Rice went to the Hast ings meeting to be present at their deliberations and it was stated by their delegates that it was their purpose not to secede or try to form a separate or state jurisdic tion but to get a readjustment of of the rates. A very enthusiastic meeting was held'at Columbus. Simeon Miss Stella Martin of California his been visiting her sister , Mrs. E. R. Stil we'll. New girls arrived at the homes of W. N. Ballard and E.

The Simeon postoffice changed hands Saturday. It was trans ferred to the Hobbs ranch , with Miss Eva as postmistress. That she will give splendid satisfaction gos without say ing. This change will make mail matters more in convenient for many patrons. But if it had to be changed we are very fortunate that Miss Hobbs would accept it. G. P.

You cannot ho over-cnreful in the selection of medicine for children. Only the very gentlest bowel medi cine should ever be given , except in emerscnoy cases. Ordinary pill , [ cithsirtiufi and purgatives are apt to d. ) more harm than good They may cuu e g.iping , nausea and oth er disiressing after-effects that are frequently health-destroying. We personally recommend and guarantee Eexall Orderlies as the safest and most dependable remedy , which we know , for constipation and associate bowel disorders. We have such absolute faith in the vir tues of this remedy that we sell it on our guarantee of money back in every instance where it fails to give entire satisfaction , and we urge all in need of such medicine to try it at our risk Rexall Orderlies are eafen just like candy , are particularly prompt j an 1 agreeable in action , may be taken at any time , day or night ; do not catii-e diarrhoea , nausea griping , excessive looseness or other unde- siiahle effects. They have a very mild but positive action upon the organs with which they come in contact , apparently acting as a regulative tonic upon the relaxed muscular coat of tlie bowel , thus overcoming weakness , and aiding to restore the bowels to a more vig orous and healthy activity. Eexall Orderlies commonly com pletely relieve , constipation , except of course when of a surgical charac ter. Tbey aso ] tend to overcome the necessity of constantly taking laxatives to keep the bowels in normal condition. Three sizes of packages , 10 cents , 25 cents and 50 cents.
