There Is at present no woman offi cer of a New York city bank, and only one In New Jersey,, but If the war lasts long enough it may well be, as It Is in Canada now, that the banks will virtually be run by women. Al ready, It is estimated, 20,000 women have been taken on in the Wall street district since the United States en tered the war last April, says the New York Evening Post. Women are slower, but more care ful, said an official of the Mechanics and Metals bank, so, although twice as many women as men are needed to do the same amount of work, the bank loses no money on extra salaries, because the women save hundreds of dollars which had to be paid to the clearing house for the men's mistakes. Each mistake costs $1 and the records "Show that sometimes men's mistakes cost $25 or $30 a week. The average downtown bank has. lost 20 per cent of its men and taken on 40 per cent women. The Mechan ics and Metals bank now has 60 women and they are being taken on by tens or twenties each week. So far these GO women are taking the places of only 30 men, which shows the difference in rapidity, but the offi cial' of the bank pointed out that it would be a serious problem when the men came home for their jobs. "Our. hope is," he said, "that the business will be big enough then to accommodate them all." His Profits. "How did your patriotic garden work out?" "I've Just figured It out.

Ezra 8:22. - An Interval of some fifty years In tervenes I ecween the dedication of the temple and the journey of Ezra to Pal estine Some stirring events in the world occurred In this time which greatly helped the Jews. It was dur Jng this time that the episode of Esther's being made queen and the ele vatloa of Mordecai occurred, which fa vorably disposed the Persian govern ment toward the Jews. The time was auspicious for Ezra to make his re quest unto Artaxerxes Tht supreme aim of Ezra was the restoration of the true worship of Jehovah, for It is evi dent that the work done by Zefnbbabel had largely failed of Its aim. In order that Ezra might be an efficient instru ment in the hands of God for the ac complishment of this purpose, he "pre pared his heart to seek the law of the Lord and to do it, and to teach In Is rael the statutes and judgments" (7:10). There are three stages In the experience of every true teacher. First : to seek the law of the Lord. Second: to do it. Third : to teach It to others. The last Is impossible without the first two. The royal commission granted to Ezra embraced (1) The return of all whose free will prompted them to do so (7:13). (2) Ezra's being given magisterial authority over the district "beyond the river" (7:25, 26). (3) Exemption from taxation to the Levites (7:24). (4) Conveyance of offerings from the king and his officers (7:15, 19). ' I. Register of Ezra's Companions (1-14). Doubtless this Is a representa tive list of those who joined Ezra. There Is clear implication that the twelve tribes are represented among those who returned. (See 2:70; 6:16, !17.) II. Ezra Sends to Iddo for Ministers for the Temple Service (vv. 15-20). Be fore the journey to Palestine was ac tually begun, Ezra gathered about him his companions who were to accom- I pany him, to see whether they were representative. In this review he dis- j covered that none of the sons of Levi were In thetcompany. So he sent chief i men to Iddo, who was doubtless the president of the school of the Levites, for ministers for God's house. In re sponse to this appeal, 38 Levites and 220 Nethinlms Joined him. III. Ezra Seeking the Guidance of the Lord (vv. 21-23). The journey was full of riendlv Derlls. It lav throueh ' a region Invested with Bedouin ma rauders. Ezra, fully conscious of these, and ashamed to ask help of the king, proclaimed a fast, In which in deep humiliation they sought the guidance and protection of God. This is a fine Illustration of the Independence, and yet dependence, of the men who fully trust God. Ills chief concern was for the honor of God's name. He had so confidently and repeatedly spoken to the king of the divine sufficiency that now to have asked for a guard of sol diers would cause him to blush with ehame. In this critical hour they com mitted themselves to the care of Him who keepeth Israel. We should begin every journey, every undertaking, every new piece of work, every new day by seeking the direction of God. No friendship or business interest ever reaches Its best unless God's hand be In it and upon it. We should not go anywhere, engage In any business or have any friendship upon which we may not ask God's blessing and aid. They sought this for themselves, for their children, and all their substance. They knew that as soon as tbey made God first his blessing would be upon them, and as soon as they forsook him his power would be withdrawn and his wrath would be upon them. IV. The Treasure Committed to Twelve Priests (vv. 24-30). Combined with their faith In God, we find prac tical business sense. Honest, trust worthy, good men were selected (v. 28). To such only should be Intrusted the Lord's money gifts offered freely 1o the Lord by his people. Again, the money was carefully counted and weighed, and the amount set down. The men were held accountable at the end of the Journey for everything in trusted to them. Men ought to be held to strict account for everything Intrust ed to them, to the very last cent. The men to whom this was intrusted were holy; the gifts were God's; they did not belong to any man; they were charged with the obligation to deliver these gifts before the chief priests. V. The Safe Arrival at Jerusalem (vv. 31-36). The journey lasted four months. They carried with them mil lions of dollars' worth of treasure, through a region infested with maraud ing Bedouins, yet God delivered them from their hands. At the end of t'ie journey they testified to the faithful ness of God in bringing them safely on (v. 31). The safe arrival at the end of each day's Journey is due to the good hand of out God upon us. After resting three days, the treasure was brought Into fie temple and burnt of ferings were made before the Lord Jehovah. WOMEN SUFFERERS NEED SWAMP-ROOT Thousands upon thousands of women have kidney and bladder trouble and never suspect it. Women's complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder disease. If the kidneys are not in a healthy con dition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased. You may suffer a great deal with pain in the back, headache, loss of ambition, nervousness and may be despondent ana irritable. Don't delay starting treatment. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a physician's pre scription, obtained at any drug store, re stores health to the kidneys and is just the remedy needed to overcome such con ditions. Get a medium or large bottle immedi ately from any drug store. Ilowever, if yon wish first to test this reat preparation send ten cents to Dr. vilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a ample bottle.

Something was the matter with the stop-signal bell of the Toonervllle trol ley car, and the conductor had to whistle to the motorman, that trip one whistle to start, two whistles to go ahead. This wasn't the real Toonervllle trolley, but a certain suburban "dummy line" which is so denominated by the facetious car riders. At one place, the other morning, the car made a long stop, and some of the passengers began to get uneasy. One sought the rear platform and found the conductor eating a frugal lunch eon. "Say, how long we goin' to stand here? What are we waitln for?" asked the passenger. The conductor swallowed hard and was understood to reply: "Looky here, I ain't got nothln but dry crackers fer my lunch. An' youll hafter wait till I git 'em all swallered good before I kin whistle!"

I The government at Washington is pre paring: a campaign that should be effec tive in killing the rats that are so destruc tive both to lives and property. A con servative estimate places the loss of food stuffs from rats at over two hundred mil lion dollars annually, and in the present scarcity of food, this loss must be pre vented. The most efficient way to "Kill the Rat" is by the use of Stearns' Paste, and thousands of dollars worth have been bought by the government. Every house keeper troubled with rats, mice, roaches or waterbugs should buy a small box of this reliable exterminator for thirty-five cents, and stop further loss of food la her home. Adv. Most Admired Statue. What is the most admired statue In Washington? The memorial to Mrs. Adams by Mr. Salnt-Gaudens, thinks Mr. Moore. He says that "in spite of the remoteness of location and the dif ficulty of finding it In Rock Creek ceme tery, no other work of art In Washing ton is really seen by so many people. Undoubtedly the element of mystery In both figure and setting has to do with Its fame ; but I prefer to think that in this memorial the sculptor has ex pressed (using his own words to me) 'the soul face to face with the great est of all mysteries' the problem, If a man die shall he live again?" Such a piece of sculpture, touching every mind and heart, outwears in its appeal all the colossal figures and speaking likenesses. It would triumph in any referendum and need never feaF a verdict of recall. New York Sun. Now Rides in an Auto. Mrs. Russell Sage, who Is now past eighty-eight years of age, only recently consented to ride In an automobile. If Worms or Tapeworm persist in your system, it la because you have not yet tried the real Vermifuge, Dr. Peerjrs "Dead Shot." One dose does tbe work. Adv.

DESTROYER OF THE FRONTIER Airdraft Promises Such Swift and Easy Transportation That Peoples Will Not Be Rooted In Soil. If you went In the ordinary way from the Italian city Turin to Eng land, you would change trains three times, cross the channel by boat, force yourself to be patient while locomo tives coaled and took on water, pas sengers embarked or alighted along the railway, and customs' officers went through their fussy examinations. A proper allowance of time, we would say, would be 30 hours. The other day, Captain Lauriat of the Italian aviation corps made the journey by airplane in 12 hours and two minutes. For him, there was no such thing as frontiers, no delays ex cept those he himself willed, no offi cials In seedy uniforms to make a mess of his baggage unless he elected to let them. It Is the Idea of internationalists that we'll have a world state when everything is so mixed that there Is no straightening It out by national command, when borders can be crossed as one would county lines, when transportation Is so swift and easy that no peoples can be or will desire to be rooted in the soil. Well, should this come about, the world has the instrument which will compass it. It Is the flying machine. Toledo Blade. Kept His Word. "I haven't any case," admitted the client, "but I have money."

No. 4, Bos:- 82, Rogersville, Tennessee, writes : "I feel it my duty to recommend Peruna to all sufferers of catarrh or cough. In the year 1909, I took a severe case of the la grippe. I then took a bad cough. I had taken all kinds of cough remedies but got no relief. I then decided to try Peruna. I used five bottles. After taking five bottles my cough stopped and my catarrh was cured. My average weight 'was 115 and now I weigh 1484. Any one suffering with ca tarrh In any form I will advise them to take Peruna."

Unable to Read. A large number of Turkish women are unable to read or write their own difficult language. A Saxon-French Cigar Lighter. Several years ago the then new min ister of France, M. Klotz, decided to Impose n tax of two fr:i!i-s, or 40 cents AineiiCiiii money, on each cigar lighter used in that country. The rea son for this is that the sale of matches In France is in the hands of the gov ernment monopoly and the portable lighters interfered with the sale of th matches. Oh the other hand th matches have become so bad In qnalltj that they are subject of complaint an ridicule. The law has become unpopu lar and there is an effort now being made to have the order rescinded. Not withstanding the fact that an in creased tax was placed on tobacco by the French government several years ago, It has caused a tendency to In crease smoking and that is proven by the many smokers to be seen In public places and thoroughfares.
