Take
Lithia Tablets
The most convenient way to take lithia
is in the soluble form. Dissolve a tab
Jet in a tumbler of water and instantly
you have a sprkling, effervescent drink.
It is very palatable. It tones up the
-stomach and will overcome conditions
of the system which cause rheumatism
and gout.
For minor kidney and bladder ills there
Js nothing better. .

(Continued From Page !)
is very much to Oregon's liking. The
Wets' investigators on the other hand
come hero to find facts to prove tlhut
Oregon is going to the bow-wows
since she mounted the water wagon.
An organized protest was made
here against a circular distributed by
the California Grape Protective as
sociation. This circular said that
since prohibition became enecuve,
"Portland, the largest city in the
state, ihas entered the worst financial
and industrial period of its history.",
But 111 reiuung mese tniiist-a,
Northwest businessmen are extreme
ly cautious. They want to be neu
tral. They aren't sure they are
through with liquor yet. The prohi
bition measure goes on the ballots
again this fall, and the voters again
will decide whether the water -wagon
slrJall survive.
o, when the California investiga
tors say that Pacific Northwest cities
are on the road to ruin, the business
men who want to refute these state
ments must grind their teeth in neu
tral rage and pass out as many fig
ures as possible to show the correct
condition of affairs. The bankers
won't say a word. But they present
these figures:
PortlandBank clearings January
1 to June 1, 1916 increased $10,405,
0G7 over the same period of 191(5. An
increase in deposits of $7,865,709 I'or
Portland and $12,093,421 for the eni
tire slate is shown between January
1 and May 1. Loans and discounts in
creased $4,905,120; of 332 saloon
buildings vacated Jan. 1 all but 21
have been occupied.
Seattle Clearings for the first six
months of 1910 were $350,349,975 as
against $290,497,097 for the same per
iod in 1915.
Spokane Deposits in 13 Spokane
banks in June, 1910 were $37,702,459
as against $:0,97,5.ri8 in June, 1915.
Clearings for tihe same period
"showed substantial increases over
the same period in 1915," according to
R. L. Ruiter. president of a Spokane
bank, who refused to comment on the
effect of prohibition in the financial
world.
Determined to be neutral, bankers
would rather have California people
believe sun-spots arc responsible for
prosperity or poverty, whichever the
versatile investigators happen to find,
than to have them attribute these
things to prohibition.
