things— yet it frequently brings about
results that seem to border on the
marvelous. Reports are constantly
being heard of relief and cures ef-
fected in chronic cases where all

of. No one yet knows the full medi-
cal possibilities of Vitalitaa. People
are daily finding new health strength
and hope in Its use. There are two
direct results from Rs use that may
be expected as shown In multitudes
ot cases first the cleansing of the
system by dissolving and throwing
off various forma of toxic poisons
that are the root-cause of disease;
second the Invigoration of the en-
tire body as result of its tonic prop-
erties.
Vitalltas is wholly and purely a
Nature product extracted from i
mineral chemical substance mined
out of the earth at only one spot. It
contains a rare blend of health-giv-
ing mineral properties. It is free of

H. Butler Escapes From Burn-

Boy—Dog Also Saved.
The crackling of the flames which
were destroying the Alamo Hetghta
Pharmacy owned by W. D. Butler
his brother aroused H. Butler from
his slumbers in a room at the rear
of the place early Tuesday just in
time to escape by leaping from a
window. At once he dashed into a
room at the rear of Emil Gott-
schalk’s grocery in the same build-
ing where he with great difficulty
succeeded in arousing and getting
out a young boy in the employ of
the grocer.
Firemen who responded to the
alarm sounded at 3:25 a- m. and
who entered the grocery with chem-
ical lines to check the flames res-
cued a dog which had been asleep
in the place. Fire Chief Wright

it had been burned about the back.

was valued at $2500 with $2OOO in-
surance. Damage to the grocery

at $5OO.

Years of widespread use confirm us In
the belief that the success of Eckman's
Alterative In cases of pulmonary tubercu-
losis (consumption) and chronic throat and
bronchial troubles Is due in large measure
to Its content of lime so combined with
other Ingredients as to be easily appro-
priated by the cells.
Doubtless this has had much to do with
the results obtained in many cases of these
affections which appear to have yielded
to Eckman’s AlUrative.

Don’t Merely “Stop” a
Cough
Stop the Thing that Causes It and
the Cougli Will Stop
Itself.
A cough is really one of our best
friends. It warns us that there is in-
flammation or -obstruction in a dan-
gerous place. Therefore when you
get a bad cough don't proceed to
dose yourself with a lot of drugs
that merely "stop” the cough tem-
porarily by deadening the throat
nerves. Treat the cause—heal the
inflamed membranes. Here is a
home-made remedy that gets right
a< the cause and will make an ob-
stinate cough vanish more quickly
than you ever thought possible.
Put 2 H ounces of Pinex (59 cents
worth) in a pint bottle and fill the
bottle with plain granulated sugar
syrup. This gives you a full pint of
the most pleasant and effective
cough remedy you ever used at a
cost of only 54 cents. No bother to
prepare. Full directions with Pinex.
It heals the inflamed membranes
so gently and promptly that you
wonder how it does it. Also loosens
a dry. hoarse or tight cough and
stops the formation of phlegm In the
throat end bronchial tubes thus end-
ing the persistent loose ough.
Pinex is a highly concentrated
compound of Norway pine extract
rich in guaiacol and is famous the
world over for Its healing effect on
the membranes.
To avoid disappointment ask your
druggist for "2 H ounce of Pinex”
and don't accept anything else. A
guarantee of absolute satisfaction or
money promptly refunded goes with
this preparation. The Pinex Co Ft.

KEYNOTE WO
BANKERS DINE
Business and Finance Men
Celebrate Opening of Dal-
•las Bank.
DIRECTOR M’CALEB TALKS
Outlines Usefulness of New
System and Predicts Huge
Success.
DALLAS Tex. Nov. 17.—Bankers
'and business men of Texas and Dal-
las met at the banquet board Mon-
day night for a "prosperity dinner”
which was also an affair to honor
the eleventh district reserve bank
officials. — •
.Four hundred or more business
men were present and optimism was
the keynote of all the speeches made.
The opening of the reserve bank
and the cotton exchanges of the
country added impetus to the spirit.
The democratic administration was
also commended highly by different
speakers among them bqlng W. F.
McCaleb a reserve bank director and
formerly of San Antonio.
Mr. McCaleb's address follows:
The welcome which you have ex-
tended us. as representatives of the.
federal reserve' bank has been so
v. hole-hearted and enthusiastic that
I can sny personally I am most hap-
py to be with you. It is indeed a great
pleasure to be associated with an
Institution which evokes such hope-
ful proml*?; It 1b also a pleasure to
be brought face to face with the
men of Dallas who have achieved
and are slOl achieving and'not the
least of whose successes is the .occa-
sion for your celebration toqight.
Congratulations on Cinergy.
Truly you are to be congratulated
on the energy and .intelligence dis-
played and I think it can be safely
said that you have never brought
any single thing to pass which quite
matches in Importance the opening
in your midst of the federal reserve
bank.
What the federal reserve bank
means to the eleventh district is a
thought at once inviting enthusiasm
«nd caution. It is impossible for any
cne to predict just what the future
holds tor us. The bank still exists
largely on paper; it remains for us
to transform it into a thing material
end there is every reason for believ-
ing that our efforts will be crowned
with success.
Those of you who have been en-
gaged *n banking and in general
business of any character during the
last thirty years have been brought
many times to appreciate the neces-
sity for ai change in the machinery
that controls the financial destinies
o' the country. Crises after crises
have come upon us ajjd with such a
degree of regularity that we have
almost become committed to a pro-
gram in which panic invariably ap-
pears if not in the leading certainly
in a subordinate rol«. Indeed for a
much longer period than thirty years
have .students of finance realized the
crying need for an entire shifting ot
bases on which commercial transac-
tions have been carrfed on. Numer-
ous scientific bodies set themselves
to working out a solution of our
ttoubles. The American Bankers' As-
sociation for many years was en-
gaged on the task. Measure after
measure was presented to Congress
and one by one they went on their
way to oblivion. Finally however
the panic of 1907 brought the nation
to realize as never before the neces-
sity for some drastic purging of our
financial .'.ystem and that some fund-
amental constructive legislation was
imperative if the United States were
to continue its march of progress
and hold its place in the van of the
great nations of the world.
IhaKc for President.
Then it was a monetary commis-
sion was appointed for the purpose
of studying the banking schemes of
progressive European nations with a
view to benefiting by their experi-
ences. and the federal reserve act
was materially influenced by the
studies of that commission. It re-
mained. however for a Democratic
Administration to pass the federal
reserve act which without doubt will
in the fullness of time be account-
ed the most far-reaching piece of
economic legislation in our annals.
I.ed by our great president whose
genius as historian economist poli-
tical scientist and executive Is trans-
cendent. the fight was won in the
face of opposition which hitherto
had borne all before It It was a
splendid fight and magnificently fin-
ished. We should be proud as Tex-
ans. for the part we have had tn
making possible the achievement of
this administration in its wise and
unfaltering course.
Now. then enough of ancient his-
tory. At the outset let me say to
you that in my honest opinion we
shall never again witness tn America
a crisis at all comparable in de-
moralization to those of '52. '72 '93
and 1907. Excellent as the national
banking system w-as tn some of Its
aspects. It was fundamentally defec-
tive. tn that tt made no provision
whatever fot the unifying or mobiliz-
ing of reserves or for the expand-
ing or contracting of currency to
meet the demands of commerce. It
pitiably failed to stand the test as
under that system each bank was
presumed to carry its own reserves
and look after Itself in whatever
stress or storm with only such sup-
port as it could hone for from its
friends who were also and at the
same moment tossed by the same
panic wind of disaster.
Have Common Reserve.
Under the new system the reserves
of all the national hanks will he
gathered together In the vaults of
the reserve banks there to serve the
useful purpose of stabilizing credits
and serving as a basis for the issue
of currency to meet the demands
which may come upon them. In oth-
er words rather than that each bank
should look after Itself we have one
great common reservoir to which
ail may go in time of need: and so
long as those applying have kept
themselves solvent they may surely
count on support.
Without doubt we shall have
cleaner and better banks throughout
district eleven than we have ever
hnd. on account of the close affilia-
tion with the federal reserve hank.

tined to bring about a tremendous
rc\olutlon in American financial ma-
chinery.
Measure Is Applauded.
I am glad to say to you now that
universally bankers have come to ap-
plaud the measure as they have
grown to understand Its beneficient
and they all ipok hope-
fully forward to a time not the
mllfentum of things banking but to
a season when life will be very much
more supportable and when follow-
ing their own vocations a little high-
er degree of happiness will be their
part. And then too so far as the
chstomer at large is concerned as
stated earlier there Is no reason ap-
parent why each Individual should
not in due measure receive at all
times. In season and out the accom-
modation from his bank to which he
is legitimately entitled and why he
too should not be a vast deal hap-
pier in the pursuit of the things the
gods have granted him whether he
be farmer or merchant whether he
be hewer of wood or drawer of
w ater whether man of letters or mil-
lionaire.
