Lyster Deliver ed an Instructive Addess on Banking. Rotarian Arthur Liyster, of the Kingson branch, Bank of Nova S-o- tia, was the special speaker at the weekly luncheon of the Rotary Club on Friday at'ernoon, and he gave a most interestiffg and instructive dress on the banking and commercial systems .of ancient Babylonia. Tha: the Rotarians are as adept in the art of listening, as they are undoubted ly expert in extemperaneous speaking and singing was vasily evident by +w» close attention with which the gall ering gave to the speaker. In opening his address, Rotarian Lyster sketched some of the early history of Babylonda, and told of some of the conditéons of the country about 4500 L.C. This country, t speaker remarked, was no doubt, t cradle of the human race and this | | makes the study of banking institu- tions all the more interesting, The | | district is enclosed by the two gra | {rivers of Western Asia, the Tigris and { the Euphrates, and the majority of ; l the land being low-lyifg and marshy, the country was greatly subject to .floodsiin the spring. In spite of the | disadvantages of this, the land be- | came very fertile by these alluvial de- | 8, +-blood-that-must-not-be-disregarded it rposits-and when the-people-had-learn- 'ed to contruc: dikes, the district ba- came very prosperous as a result of | its agricultural development. The country soon teemed with an indus- trious population, while the histor; of the origin and development of | this civilization has but recently been {made known to us by 'he dgcipher- ment of the native documents and | historical records preserved in {form of clay slabs. which were started by the Germans {about 1900, establish ah®olute evid- | ence that these people had a grea: system of banking, and could draw up legal forms and documents every kind just as well as we can a: 'the p-esent day. of About "he time of Nebuchadnezzar, | famous in bible history, a form of i currency, gold and silver began to appear, while the rate of interest in vogue at.that time varied from 10 :» {16 1-2 per cent, This was, at first, | collected monthly, but later this was | changed to the yearly method, thus | showing the evolution of our modern | sys'em. The speaker then discussed | the methods of a certain large firm o* | that time, which probably corres- | ponds to the great Rothschild firm, |and which apparently handled mos: |of the banking transactions of that One of the features of this { time. [old system, was that debt was not zs severely punisheu in that old civiliza- tion, as it has been under our old Ehglish laws in fairly recent years, A number of intéresting docu- ments were then read by the spoak- er, being translations of the orginal slabs excavated in the ruins of thesa ancient cities, and they proved 'hat the people at tha. time were possess- ed of a good business sense, as well {as being fair and above-board in | their dealings, One good feature of | their old laws, was that if a person | failed to pay ja creditor, the debtor was forced to work as the others {slave until the debt was cleared, Mr. | Lyster closed his address by remark- | ing that it wag well for moderns fo | look back and study these pgople ani their methods. Rotarian Harry Miller, in moving a vote of thanks to the speaker, ro- | marked that he had found the ad- | dress most interesting, and far from dry, as humorously hinted by Mr. { Lyster. The vote was mos: heartily | given by the Rotarians. | Rotarian H. E. Penge remarked (that he was sure that the singing | could be improved, and tha: for tho | benefit of visitors especially, some re- | hearsals should be conducted. | Rotarian "Syl" Grace then pre- | tended to be greatly offended at the ad- | the ! Excavations, | ant slyly suggested that e énteMainments could some of the "fault-find- criticism perhaps fr prove rs' nent and it was orm the following airman Syl >, Harry Miller, e, Rex Snelgrove, "Matt" | Graham and Charles Anglin. Some new songs were introduced, | un ler the leadership of Rotarian Grace, who announced himself a ger', and were eunthus rendered by the Rotarians. | Rotarian Leman A. Guild, president, acted as chairman, i absence of President "Joe" Stewar who was announced as being "in| Florida, looking for a peanut of large | dimensions} so that his exerifons of | rolling it from the Standard Bank fo [the Nbve Scotia Bank, would be eli- minated as much as possible." This in | conformity with a verdict rendered | at the mock trial on the preceeding | week. WHY BEAUTY FADES | | evoked { finally } i A Condition Due Entirely to Poor, | Watery Blood. : i The girl who returns' home from: school or from work thoroughly tired | out will be fortunate if ghe escapes a ! physical breakdown, because this get- | ting tired so easily is probably the] { first warning symptom of a thinning, her health is to be preserved . | When the blood becomes thin and | inipuve the patient becomes" pale, Fugeard and angular. She not only | tires out easily but suffers from head-| aches, palpitation of the heart, dizzy | spells and a loss of appetite. This| condition will go from bad to worse, | if prompt steps are not taken to in-| crease and enrich the blood supply. | To make the rich, red blood that] brings the glow of health, no other medicine can equal Dr, Williams® | Pink Pills. If given a fair trial their | use brings rpsy cheeks, bright eyes, a good appetite and good spirits. Dr. | | Williams' Pink Pills have made thou- | sands of pale, languid girls active and | strong. On the first sign of poor, | thin blood mothers should insist un-| on their daughters taking a fair | | course of these pills. They.will not | {enly restore health, but will save fur-} | ther doctor bills. | ! - Dr. Williams' Pink Pills can be ob-/| tained from any dealer in medicine | {or by mail at 50 cents a box or six ; boxes for $2.50, from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont, | | CHOOSE EUGENE ~ SLEETH | | For the Position of Sanitary Inspector--He is a Return- | ed Soldier. The health committee of the city | council met on Friday afternoon to | take up the question of the appoint- | ment of a successor to the late W. | H. Carson, sanitary inspector. There | were forty-seven applications and the committee dealt with each one in succession and after tabulating them came to the concluston that if a re-| turned soldier among the applicants possessed the requisite qualifications | he should be appointed.
