Relief From Curse
of Constipation
A Battle Greek physician says,
"Constipation is responsible for more
misery than any other cause."
But immediate relief has been
found. A tablet called Hexall Orderlies
has been discovered. This tablet
attracts water from the system into
the lazy, dry, evacuating bowcll Called
the colon. The water loosens the
dry food waste and causes a gentle,
thorough, natural movement without
forming a habit or ever increasing
t/lie dose.
Stop suffering from constipation.
Chew a Rcxall Orderlio at night.

RADICAL CHANGES
TRANSFORM BANKING
National Commission Sees
Changing Opinion on Branch
Banking Issue?Studies Group
and Chain Banks.
NBW YORK,?Modification of the attftiidn
of bankers on the long disputed
| branch hanking question 1h forecast In
a review and report covering rapfd
| changes going on in hanking Issued
bore by the fCconornlc Policy Oommlsslon
of the American Hankers Association.
The report;,., however, after
referring to recent proposals, that natlonal
hanks he given brunch hanking
powers within the business territory
surrounding their location, declares
that "we do not believe that so-called
trade-urea' branch linking Is likely
to gain tlie support of any largo percentage
of tlie hanking fraternity."
The commission says that the "most
important development that lias infected
American hanking in rocont
years involves the rapid growth of
multiple hanking organizations in tlie
form of group, chain and branch banking
systems," and adds t.hat "we present
this report as an unprejudiced
economic study and have no theories
or policies to urge at this time." The
statement says that the commission's
Information indicates there are now
2 69 group or chain hank systems,
which coritrol 1922 banks and $15,285,000,000
in aggregate resources, and
that there are only six states and the
District of Columbia where it does not
find any group organizations.
The Commission's Investigation
"We have been in touch with the
managers of many important hank
groups," tin; report says. "Aside from
the obvious economies of centralized
operation and control a number of
these organization heads very frankly
tell us that they do not feel that the
system has been in operatlou and
tested long enough to justify them in
making positive or sweeping state- *
inents as to its advantages or disadvantages
compared to unit hanking.
"The Hanking and Currency Com- I
mltteo of tho House, which is conducting
an investigation TTUo banking
developments, lias called a number
of operating hcadH of some of the great
group systems. These men declared
that they found, under certain conditions,
dellnite operating and economic
advantage In both group and branch
banking over independent unit banking.
Some thought group banking was
only a transitional stage, that branch
banking was preferable and If it were
permitted on an extensive enough
scale they would change their groups
over to branch systems. Others held
that group banking was preferable.
"Some held that the ideal plan was
a combination of the two with group
bank units for localities strong enough
to support complete banking institutions
and with branch offices extending
further into the smaller places
requiring banking services but not
large enough to support complete
hanks. Several of these who advocated
multiple banking declared that nevertheless
they believed there would always
be room for vigorous independent
unit bank competitors.
Government Officials Express Views
"Tho Comptroller of the Currency
recommended that naticmal banks be
given branch banking powers' within
'trade-areas.' The Governor of the
Federal Reserve Board appeared to Be
in general agreement with the Comptroller.
lie said there were 24,645
banks and 3,547 branches, a total of
'<^8,192 _baiikiug offices; that in this
offices were either branches
or bank members of groups, or both,
leaving 21,839 banking institutions
that might be definitely termed lndependent
unit banks, having no
branches and In no way connected
with group affiliations. He said all
the banks had total loans and investments
of $58,500,000,000, of which the
group and branch systems held $S0,000,000,000,
or more than half.
"He opposed nation-wide branch
banking at present but said that ultimately
if bankers became trained and
experienced in the larger technique
of 'trade-area" banking he thought it
would in time evolve nation-wide
brauoJi banking under control of relatively
few banks, but he did not believe
this would mean monopoly or
lack of competition. lie favored
branch over group banking which,
however, lie said r. presented an economic
development along 'trade-area'
lines and would spread unless something
else were substituted and thought
trade-area branch hanking would
serve this purpose.
It is tho indention of the Coinnu.>
sion to develop its own studies in
these questions, watch carefully every
move that is made and every bit ot
information that may develop in thi<
connection and keep itself prepared
to give an unbiased and accurate
statement of tfiie facia of tho case
whenover that Is desired," tho repot-/
concludes.
Federal Reserve Pays Governmen.
In the fifteen years since its oetah

SAH JOSE MISSION FILLED
WITH RELICS OF THE PAST
Tlm? Writes History Into Ornaments
of Ancient Holy Structure
?*< in Texas.
Han Antonio. Texas.?Those who
pause before Han Jose mission see
only fragments of the beauty which
has mude It known as "the gent of
missions."
Treasure seekers, neglect and time
huve ruined many of-the elaborate
ornamentations. The mission was
built about 1720 and all the work was
done by priests.
The delicate carvings of tiie famous
"rose window." which hus been studied
by architects from ail pa^ls of the
world, are sold to have been made by
one iluicar as his expression of despair
over an unrequited love. The legend
is tliut Iluicar having amassed a fortune
as a conquistador, was returning,
to Hpain to be married when lie
learned thai his Intended bride hud
married another. He donned the
robes of a priest.
The cloisters still stand, although
they are roofless. The smaller chapel
at the huso of the tower is intact und
masses are still said there for Mexican
fumtllcs. On Its walls hang three i
paintings, brought from Spain, which
are so faded the subjects can scarcely
he made out.
The tower is one of the most interesting
parts. A spirui stairway,
hewn from the trunk of a single tree,
leads to the belfry. The tower collapsed
some time ago, but photographs
made possible the replacing of utmost
every stone In its proper place.
The belfry once held a carillon '
1 noted for Its beautiful tone. Legend
I says this tone was due to gold thrown
! Into the crucible when the bells were
cast In Spain. Don Luis Angel, who
i was to marry Teresa, had gone to
; Texas, where he met death and was
hurled In the shadow of the tower at
I Han .lose.
i Teresa, realizing the bells would
peal a requiem over Ids grave, walked
\> to the crucible und threw In the golden
ornaments he had given tier. Only ;
! a few of the hells are left, and these
are In a San Antonio museum.
Another legend about the building?
thut priests had buried a greut treasure
near It?has cuused gold hunters
to burrow under the foundations, and
these excavations nre blamed for the
collapse of the roof, and the tower.
Sun Jose Is older than the missions
In California.
Status of Reindeer
Meat Made Clear
Washington.?A statement on the !
status of reindeer meat under the federal
meat inspection act by a joint
committee of the Department of the
Interior and the Department of Agriculture
on the reindeer Industry of
Alaska, hus beeD made public.
The statement is prepared to make
clear to state and municipal health
officers, conservation and game commissioners
and the general public that j
reindeer are not included in the fed- !
eral meat Inspection act, but may be '
received into the United States and |
I shipped Interstate and 'that, when j
j marked for Identification, they may be
received and handled iu federally InF
spected plants.
House Plants Require
Soap-and-Water Baths
j New York.?Bouse plants should receive
regulur baths of soap and water,
but it is to be noted that they differ
from small boys In one Important
respect. The soap and water should
remain on the plants two days before
rinsing.
The advice on bathing house plants
is from H. W. Becker of the New
York botanical garden,. Bathing replaces
the effects of rain In cleansing
plant pores of dirt. The soapy water
should not be permitted to run Into
i the soil, for it burns roots. During
| the wash the plants should be kept
I out of sunlight for two days.
j Airplanes Are Tested
for Life-Saving Work
Sydney, Austruliu.?A new idea In
life saving has been successful at Torrigal
beach here.
An airplane took up a 500-yard life
line, at one of which was an inflated
motor tiro and at the other end an
iron weight.
The plane dropped the tire i ear a
swimmer and then dropped the dumb1
boll on t^io beach, whore roscuers
wero wailing to haul in the swimmer
clinging to tlie inflated tire.

precious silver t?n<J coin* valued at
about $400,000 la the objective of J.
1). Stamper, who has tuken a lease
ou lund In Carter county, about 80
ml lea from Lexington, where the
treasure la reported to be.
Mr. Stumj?er aold: "I feel confident
the treuaure la there and that I will
lind It. I urn the ouly man thut baa
ever found ull the earthmarka noted
on the map und that actuully came
across u cuve auch ua described In my
treasure rnup."
'i'he treasure la aald to have been
burled by Indiuus who left Kentucky
after the arrival of the white man.
Silver wuh plentiful with the redskins,
und when thpy mude their haaty exit
they burled the treuaure In a cave In
Carter county.
They drew a "mup of the cave, Its
locution and the ground murka that
distinguished It, and In 1811 one
ltobert King, a fugitive from Europe,
came uj>on u bund of Indiuna camped
in Kentucky. King made bliuaelf at
home with the tribe.
King hud no Intention of leaving
Kentucky with the Indiana, und when
the tribe left they guve him the buckakin
treuaure map as a furewell gift.
King searched for the treasure, but
was forced to give up, due to lack of
aid. Wlieu he died In that vicinity he
guve the map to an Indian by the
name of Robert Tinder. Tinder was
unable to find the cave, and when he
felt the approach of death called an
old friend, J. A. Ithodeu, now living
near Nevada, Ohio, to his bedside and
guve him the map.
Hhoden gave the map to Stamper,
who Is a native of Carter county and
familiar with the land In the section
where the cave Is located.
"Hankered to Write"
at 58; Back to School
Urbuuu. 111.?Because .he had a
"hunkering to write," Almanza S.
Davis has turned his back on 30 years
of .array service to become the oldest
undergraduate student at the t. Diversity
of Illinois.
This gray-haired veteran of fiftyeight,
however, is no newcomer to the
college world. He studied for the
ministry before he served Uncle Sam
in Germany, Alaska, Cuba and the
Philippines. His theological studies
were abruptly terminated In 1889
when Blackburn college authorities
found a bottle of medicinal whisky tn
his room.
Davis wus stationed at the university
after more than twenty years
abroad. In 1926 he was retired with
the rank of technical sergeant.
Psychology and science claim most
of his attention as ? student, though
he claims "too much schooling tends
to destroy a man's initiative."
Gold-Lined Tomb Built
for Argentine Family
Buenos Aires.?Simple an : unpretentious
in its exterior appearance,
one family vuult In the Chacarlta
cemetery holds a vast store of wealth,
It is completely lined with geld and
cost approximately 1.000,000' pesos
($420,000). It also contains a small
statue of a woman, a work of Bltolfl,
said to have cost 70,000 pesos. Frescos
of Inestimable value adorn the
upper part of the golden walls. Thevault
was constructed 19 years ago
by Angel Roverano.
Designs which wera being worked
out In the floor In small gold blocks
were never completed, because the
will of Roverano provided that the
tomb must be closed on the death of
his only surviving relative, a brother,
who died several years ago.

Mr. Barrett bequeathed to any old

appropriation of $10,000 authorized by
the state of Now York, to acquire the

Papers recently found In the archives
of Oneida county, unmistakably
written In the careful hand of the
baron, for the that time Indicate his
plans for an estate on Ids laud grant,

'Saw Opportunity for Wealth.
Benjamin Wright, who later drew
the plans for the Krl$ canal, was retained
by Steuben to lay out what he
expected to he his country seat, far
from the business woFld, which he
could not understand, and In the midst
of historic country to which he seut

virgin country, operating a sawmill
and selling the lumber on his land,

Of this land only 50 acres remains
available and this tract will be reforested

Devoted to Country.
Steuben. Inme\er, had the comfort
of peace in a country he enrao to love.
He described the wilderness about his
farm as "the most beautiful in the
world." *
And there he was buried, wrapped
In his military cloak, with the star of
knighthood on his breast. Only his
servants and a few neighboring farmers
attended the burial. Among them,
however, were men who had shouldered
muskets in the Itevolutlon and
had either seen or heard of Steuben's
setting the example of frugality and
privation to the tattered legions of
Washington's army during the bitter
winter at Valley Forge. Here he
welded the troops Into a perfect war
machine which defeated the British
the following spring at the battle of
Monmouth. Tina began the string of
victories which ended with the capitulation
of Cornwallls at Yorktown
which virtually ended the war.
Millions in Oil Land
Hinge on Bee's Knees
Bnkersfield, Calif.?Standard * Oil
Company of California Is now standing
on "the bee's knees," dependent on
them for the millions of dollars In
oil under the disputed Section 3G of
Elk Hill.
The government has long been seeking
to recover the rich section from
the company, alleging that it was
known as mineral land when the survey
was accepted in 1903.
Testimony to that effect was given
at a recent local hearing by A. C.
Veatch, geologist.
Hfc Asserted that evidence of oil was
found on the nearby Section 32 as
long ago as 1901?a discoloration of
the ground, the rush of escaping gas,
and an odor characteristic of oil seepage,
which smells like a horse being
shod.
Apparently left without a leg to
stand on. attorneys for the oil company
Investigated and found the bee's
knees to stand on.
On Section 32 they found a wild
bees' hangout. The discoloration, they
say, turned out to be, not seepage,
hut remnants of a bonfire built by
honey hunters In smoking out the bees.
Hie "rush of escaping gas," they
say. was the buzz of bees. The aroma
they ascribe to charred beeswax.
