Goini to Build
; No matter what you intend to
j build—whether it's a house, bam or
i merely a shelf in the pantry — you
have to have tools. And the better
, the tools, the better the job. Poor
tools are expensive at any price.
‘ They last only a short time and
never do first-class worK.
To be s\ire of get-
ting tools worth buy
ing, get them from U3

of your purchase. In
addition to the tools,

need other things in
the hardware line.

Millions of thrifty Americans who
have Isiid aside soiufthing for a “rainy
day” are directly or indirectly owners
of railroad securitii’s. This owniMsliip
represents not only inilividual invest-
nu?nt In the niilrouds, but holdings of
railroad securities by life insurance
companies, savings banks, tire and ma
rine insurance companies, benevolent
associations, educational institutiou.s,
trust companies and State and Nation
al banks. A large part of the assets
of these institutions depend on the sol
vency of the railroads.
The ownership of railroad securities
among tliese people is divi<Ied approx
imately as follows;
Individuals, numbering over
1.000.000. own oul right about $10,-

Over G(K»,(K(0 are st<*ckhf»hiers with
an average holding of $ir?.ort(j.
Life insuninci' companies, with
53.000.000 policies in force, own
nearly $2,0(>0,000,000 of railway
securities.
Savings banks, with 10,000,000
depositors, own .S847,000,0(K>.
Fire and marine insurjiiice com-
p:ini('s, casualty aiul surety com

Interest cf Wage Earners.
In addition to tliis widesi)read own
ership of equities of American rail-
roa«ls by tlie ]>eople of the United
Stat<-s every wage earner who iniis
money into the savings bank has a di
rect iiitei-est in the soundness of rail
road investment on account of the
large part olf the savings of and
Women wage earners secured by the
railroad bonds which are bought by the
savitigs banks.
A great man.v of these institutions
are mutual savings banks which have
no capital slock, pay no dividends,
earn no i)rofits for stockholders, and
their entire propert.v belongs to the de
positors. Every dollar that the bank
earns beyond the actual cost of doing
business also belongs to them.
The report of the United States
Comptroller of the Currettcy for lOlS
shows tliHt 025 of these savings hanks
operated on the mutual plan had at the
end of 3918 total deposlt.s of .?4,422,-
090,393.15 credited lo 9.011,404 d(‘pos-
itors, an average deposit of $490.72.
These figures covered mutual savings
banks in 18 states of the Union.
The Conjptroller's report gives the
amount of railroad bonds held by mu
tual savings banks in the six New Eng
land states—Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont, ^lassachusetts. Rhode Island
and Conne<‘ticut-as $406,272,160. The
report of the State Superintendent of
Banks of New York shows that the
railroad bonds held by the mutual sav
ings banks at the end of 1918 in New
York amounted to $301,711,334.

tion$
H. G. Rogers, brakeman. Railroad
J St., Brevard says: “Some years ago
I had a bad spell with my kidneys.
My back ached a good deal and it
seemed to take the ambition out of
me. W”hen I bent over I could hardly
straighten. I think being on my feet
: so much and the jarring of the train
; is what brought this trouble on. Diz
zy spells would come over me and
black specks appear before my eyes.
. My head ached a good deal, too. I
i was lame mornings and my kidneys
didn’t act as they should. Hearing
of Doan’s Kidney Pills^ I got a supply
and soon I felt like myself again.”

Catarrh Cannot Be Cured
Wltli LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they
cannot reach the seat of the disease.
Catarrh is a local disease, greatly in
fluenced by constitutional conditions, and
in order to cure it you must take an
internal remedy. Hall’s Catarrh Medi
cine IS taken internally and acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system. HalVs Catarrh Medicine was
prescribed by one of the best physicians
in this country for years. It is com
posed of some of the best tonics known,
combined with some of the best blc^
purifiers. The perfect combination of
the ingredients in Hall's Catarrh Medi
cine is what produces such wonderful
results In catarrlial conditions Send for
