For 62 Years ihe World's Best Whisky This aristocrat of all wfiiskys Cedar Brook vhis ky has tle richest flavor of any whisky known. Since 1847, knowledge and experience in making and ma turing have made it the quality leader. There's a green .government stamp over the cork on each bottle of W. H. McBrayer's Bottled in Bond . This little stamp means much. But the name Cedar Brook means even more. The government stamp means government supervision from the raw grain to the finished product. Uncle Sam's require ment that the whisky be pure, straight, 100 proof, full measure and aged at least four years-r-has been complied with. . But Cedar Brook is all this and more. Other whiskies, as well, pass this examination, yet there is no whisky that can come up to the Cedar Brook test. Uncle Sam's requirements are only part of the Cedar Brook test. The name Cedar Brook guaran tees not only that every govern ment requirement has been com plied with, but guarantees quality supreme, a wonderful flavor and smoothness, a delicacy arid a rich ness both incomparable.

It is certain that our banking and monetary sys-j Item is a patched-up affair which satis fies nobody, and. least of all. those. who are clear-headed and have a knowledge of what a financial system should be. The matter has been re ferred by congress to a monetary com mission, which has been studying with i much-interest and enthusiasm the fi- naneial and banking systems of the great governments of Europe. The re- port of this commission soon will be puunsnea. It is quite apparent from the state ments of Mr. Vreeland. who is now the head of the committee on banking and currency in the house of representa tives, and from the conversations of Mr. Aldrich who is chairman of the monetary commission and of the fi- nance committee of the senate, that to time will come in the circulating medium of the country and the world. lnIiHienitl!. tf )iilrnnrnt. . "Mr. Aldrich states that there are two indispensable recpiirements in any plan to be adopted involving a central bank of issue. The one is that the control of the monetary system shall be kept from Wall street influences, and the other that it shall not be ma nipulated for political purposes. These nrp two minciules to which we can all subscribe. i "It is quite possible that' the report of the commission of a definite conclu sion may be delayed beyond the next session of congress. Meantime t he members of ihe commission intend to institute a campaign of -education t order to arouse public o union to the necessity of a change in tilir niutieliirr nnd banking systems." ' is DISLIKE AMERICAN TARIFF President of Canadian .Mnnufac lure Says Senate Violated Trust. Hamilton. Ont.. Sept. 15. At the annual meeting of the Canadian Manufacturers' association yesterday President H. Hobson. in referring to the American tariff, characterized the action of the I'nited States senate as a violation of the trust reposed in it by the American people and bar ren of all desire to create closer trade relations with Canada. Its action, he said, put the farmer oiv the same level as the manufai tiirer. both of whom must look to the home market. He called upon the Canadian government to take the American government at its word and bring into effect the provisions of the surtax act of 1 !09. Mr. llobson ( believed Canada should deepen the St. Lawrence and AVjelland canals. BIG ROW AT CONVENTION Join Men in I tat lie With I'mhrellas at Yeomen's Meeting. Springfield. 111., Sept. l.".
