LAW MAKES NOTE PAYABLE AS CHECK.

If Maker Has the Funds On Deposit Xn Bank When Note Is Due ' "It Must Be Paid.

In order to prevent possible confusion and difficulty owing to the changes In business methods made necessary by the act of the last legislature relative to negotiable paper, the Indianapolis Clearing House association, by itsrmanager, George C. Culvert, is sending out a notice to business men as follows: “At the last session the Indiana legislature enacted what is known as the negotiable instruments law, which is a codification of the law, relating to checks, drafts and notes. This act marks some important changes in the law as- it previously existed in Indiana. Your especial attention is called to one such change effected by Article VI, Section 87, which follows: \ . “When the instrument (promissory note or acceptance) is made payable at a bank it is equivalent to an order to the bank to pay the same for the account of the principle debtor thereon.” ‘The attorney general gives it as his opinion, as have other lawyers who have been consultet, that under this law, when a note or acceptance is made payable at a bank and the bank has sufficient funds of the maker or acceptor of deposit, it must pay the obligation on demand at maturity unless it has specific instruction from the maker or acceptor to withhold payment. Thus, in its legal effect, a note or acceptance payable at a bank become®/at maturity practically a check on the bank where it is payable, and in the absence of positive instructions to the contrary (as in the case of a check on which payment has been stopped), the bank must pay it on proper demand if the maker or acceptor has funds on deposit sufficient for that purpose. “This law became effective on its promulgation April 30, 1913, and therefore controls all notes or acceptances executed on that or a subsequent date.” Heretofore notes payable at banks have not been paid by the banks from the funds of the persons who gave the notes, except on specific instruction. The reversal of this order, it is feared, will cause annoyance to business houses with possible overdrafts and resulting confusion, unless the intent Of the new law is thoroughly understood. Banks are notifying the drawers of notes payable at the banks of the date they become due, and hope in that manner to prevent confusion, but in order to help in making the situation clear, the clearing house is addressing its circular to all busness houses in reach.

United States Consumes More Beer Than Germany Does.

It is generally thought that Germany drinks, more beer than any other nation in the world. This is a mistake. Germany comes second. The United States consumes 1, 851,000,000 gallons of beer each year, which is 100,000,000 gallons more than Germany’s consumption. Russia leads the world in its use of distilled liquors, and the United States comes second with its consumption of 133,000,000 gallons. Although the United States is first as a beer-drinking nation and second as a consumer of distilled spirits among the nations of the world, the liquor dealers of America are having a desperate fight for the life of their traffic. The saloon has been expelled from one-half the population and from two-thirds the geographical area of the country. In 1868 there were 3,500,000 people living in territory where the drink traffic had been outlawed; in 1900 the number had increased to 18,000,000; in 1908, or only eight years after, the number had doubled to 36,000,000, and today there are 46,029,750 persons, or a fraction more than one-half of the population of the country living in no-license territory.' In has increased a little more than 10,000,000 which is more than) 10 per cent of the total population of the nation and 30 per cent increase in the number living in “dry” disricts. Since 1868 the population of the country has doubled, while the number of inhabitants of “dry” territory has increased thirteenfold.

Remarkable Care of Dysentery. "I was attacked with dysentery abqut-July 15th, and used the doctor’s medicine and other remedies with no relief, only getting woise all the time. I was unable to do anything and my weight dropped from 145 to 125 pounds. I suffered for about two months when I was advised to use Chamberlain’s Colle, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. I used two bottles of It and it gave me permanent relief," writes B. W. Hill, of Snow Hill, N. O. For sale by,A. F. Long. C Fire broke out 'Thursday in the Hammond distillery, one of the largest In the country, and for a time threatened to destroy It. The blaze started in the drying plant due to overheated machinery. John Branta, 12 years old, while watching the Are was fatally injured when he was struck by a flying brick. The blaze was checked after it had done $50,000 damage.

WHEN THERE’S NOTHING TO DO.

When a fellow has nothing to do, I say,.. . . • • . ... It’s the very worst time I know; When a fellow is idle the livelong day The time goes dragging so. The sun may shine just as bright as it can And the breeze may whisper, “Rest”; But when there is nothing to dq, a man Is weary and eyer distressed. The world grows so dull at every turn, When there’s nothing at all to do; And the rest for which we used to yearn ' t Is only a bugaboo. The days are as long as a felon’s doom And a very sad mortal are you, For the glee of the world all turns - to gloom. If you’ve nothing at all to do. So let us get back to the grind of the mill— Right back in our same old place; It is good to be there, in a crowd with the will That always is setting the pace. We want to be busy that we may be glad, A rest waxes old in a day; And a year of a lifetime might drive us all mad, Were there nothing to do, I say.

—Geo. R Harrison.

Good Reason for His Enthusiasm. V When a man his suffered for several days with colie, diarrhoea or other formof bowel complaint and is then cured sound and well by one or two doses of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, as is often the case, it is but natural that he should be enthusiastic in his praise of the remedy, and especially is this the case of a severe attack when life is threatened. Try it when in need of such a remedy. It never fails. Sold by A. F. Long. C Lewis S. Alter was over from West, Carpenter today. John Deere Spreaders sold by Hamilton & Kellner. Remington will go to Williamsport Sunday to play ball. Thrashing, which had been delayed? by the wet weather, was generally resumed all over the county today. Theodore Roosevelt will stop over in Chicago on his return trip from the Arizona desert to make a speech some tipie late in August, occording to information given out yesterday at progressive headquarters in that city. The war department has notified Quartermaster General Garrard that eight companies of the Indiana national guard, which had less than thirty-eight men in camp at Indianapolis a few weeks ago, will receive no pay from the government. Official announcement was made yesterday that the Commonwealth Edison company will consolidate with the Cosmopolitan Electric company, thus placing the entire electricjight, heat and power business of Chicago in the hands of the one corporation. Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma Thursday sweltered under the eleventh day of terrific heat which has paralyzed late crops, caused water famines and been responsible for extreme suffering among the people and the live stock of the three states. The regular and progressive republicans in Maryland got together for the state campaign at a big harmony meeting Thursday 'night. They adopted a platform to work together for the party’s interest In that state. Addresses in favor of a united party in the state campaign were made by well known speakers. Although the recent drought dried up all of the wells at the Ridge road district of Gary it was too late to postpone the annual picnic of the Gary democracy, with the result that a waterless outing was held Thursday. The brewery depots tame to the rescue. Lemonade and grape juice stands were erected for the Bryan and Wilson democrats. Speeches were made by Mayor Thos. E. Knotts and Aid. “Tim” Englehart. / Prof. Henri Marion, for thirty years professor of modern languages in the United States naval academy, died in the hospital at Culver, Ind., Thursday, of a general decline. Professor Marlon was designated by the government as the official interpreter of the party that brought back the body of John Paml Jones to his -country in 1906,, anw later wrote a volume on “The Last Cruise and Final ’ Resting Place of John Paul Jones.” He was the author of many text-books in French and Spanish.

Of Interest to Women

A Rap at Girls* Fiaishiag Schools — The Word “Finishing," Applied to An Intellectual Training, is Unfit — Reginald W. Kauffman's Ideas —The Young Girl a Mystery to Hun.

Reginald Wright Kauffman in Hampton's Magazine is very hard upon the finishing schools tor girls. After reading what he says, we wonder why these schools should be called “finishing.” The word can hardly be aplied to an Intellectual training which seems never to have been begun. Whatever “education” may have been Imparted to her in the earlier grades has mage no Impression either upon mind or heart. She knows exactly what Is expected of her in the social game, and whatever remains over and above she Ignores: One student of my acquaintance has, after a three years* course, managed to choke down enough French to translate, if there’s a dictionary handy, the original Gallic phrases encountered in a popular novel; she knows w what the menu is trying to say, though, of course, neither she nor anybody else can translate that verbatim. If she would take time to complete it —but she never takes time to complete anything—she might be able to make a fair copy of a Charles Dana Gibson line drawing. She can recite certain chapters of the Bible by heart, but knows about as much concerning them as the average -actor knows about the lines of his part And as for literature, she has acquired the exact date of every great English author’s birth and death without having any conception of what any of them wrote, and without swerving one hair’s breadth from her allegiance to the contemporary marshmallow school of fiction. The ignorance of the average girl Is certainly appalling, and We may well wonder what she has done with her time during high school days. She has acquired books enough to stock a store, thanks to the entente cordials that exists between the schools and the publishers. But if we try to draw out any of this information we shall lamentably fail. She seems to know absolutely nothing that is worth knowing upon any conceivable subject. She has studied civics—or says she has —but she has no glimmering of an opinion upon any civic or political subject. She has ploughed her way through books on history, geography, mathematics, and literature, but she is entirely dumb when any Intelligent subject is on the carpet But there are some things, Mr. Kauffman tells 'us, that the girl does know: The last tim&>she was home I tried to talk to her; iwe used to make mud pies together and, later, she chewed the spitballs that I threw at the teacher In the fourthi reader; but now I am a mister to her 1 and she Is a mystery to me. Well, we talked, or rather she did, and what I ( received from her was simply a rapid running description of all the season’ll plays on Broadway. It appears that the school Is often taken to the theatre in a body, provided the drama to be produced Is not too serious, «. and that the whole student body go' as Individuals to Saturday matinees. Consequently, this girl has twenty photographs of Robert Edeson, each in a different pose, on the dressing table, which she used to call a bureau, and knows the private history and matrimonial tecord of all the; Idols of the stage. And this is the equipment for “society” and later ion, perhaps, for other and more serious things. It's rather Bad when one comes to think about it

New Collars and Laces.

The turnover collar has taken a strong hold upon popular fancy and will no doubt continue to be the prevailing style until the return of cold weather. It la the; moat comfortable Idea we have had given us in many seasons, and we should be humbly grateful. Last summer we suffered In collars with abnormal points, stiffly boned and ear high, and one y hesiV

fates to criticise even the elderly petson for wearing the new collar, even if It does add years to her age. For young people the newest and prettiest design is the collar on the style of a sailor, finished with a four-in-hand tie at the front It is shown in all colors and combinations. White linen is edged with a band of pink, blue tan or lavender, or each as the colors forming a collar is edged With white.

A vital result of the record breaking drought in Kansas, Oklahoma and -the southwest became apparent yesterday, when a representative of one of the largest packing houses in the country predicted that he retail price of beef will go to unheard of prices this winter.

Costly Treatment “I was troubled with constipation and indigestion and spent hundreds of dollars for medicine' and treatment” writes C. H. Hines, of Whitlow. Ark. “I went to a St. Louis hospital, also to a hospital in New Orleans, but no cure was effected. On returning home I began taking Chamberlain’s Tablets, and worked right along. I used them for some time and am now all right.” Solt by A. F. Long. C

THE NOVELIST.

The novelist not only works on more various Elements; he appeals to more ordinary minds than the poet. This is indeed the strongest practical proof of hls~ essential inferiority as an artist. All who are capable of an interest In incidents in life which do not affect themselves may feel the same interest more keenly in a novel, but to those who can lift the. curtain does a poem speak intelligently, ylt is the. twofold characteristic of universal intelligibility and Indiscriminate adoption of materials that gives the novel Ils place as the great reformer and leveler of our time. -Thomas Green Hill.
