NATIONAL FINANCES.
a Statement from the Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury.


WASHINGTON, March o.-Assistant
Secretary Curtis yesterday made the
following statement: I'm view of GER
tain statements in the newspapers that
treasury officials are embarrassed by
an alleged failure in gold deliveries un-
der the recent contract and other asser-
lions of a similar nature calculated to
mislead and disturb the public mind,
wish to say that the actual withdraw
ais of gold from the treasury since
March l, 1895, have been 1855, 347, of
which s2s1.Os7 have been for the re-
demption of United States treasury
notes, and s74.26O for the redemption
of United States notes.
'In regard to the excess of govern
ment expenditures over receipts. it is
well known the latter is rapidly in
creasing and that up to this time
nothing has been received from the
income tax and very little from
sugar duty, both of which will be i'm
portant elements of government re-
ceipts in the future. There is plenty
of money in the treasury to pay the APP
preparations, and the statement in
some articles, that if the treasury had
the money the passage of the enor-
nous appropriations would lead to the
immediate disbursement of immense
sums of money, is totally untrue.
There is question of law as to when
the appropriation for the payment of
the sugar bounty becomes available,
and until that question is settled it
will be impossible to make any pay
ment Hereunder. Moreover, the
claims for bounty must be adjusted be-
fore payment, since payment must be
made pro rata if the appropriate is
insufficient.
THE total available cash in the
treasury amounts to Ss3, 81, 495, over
and above the 500, 100000 allowed to
cover the gold reserve. which is Ss9,-
745, 1911. The treasury officials have
no anxiety as to their ability to meet
all obligations in the immediate future
with ease and are confident the eX-
pected revival of business will assure
the future"

SERVED IN TWO WARS
The Grip Almost Won Where the
Bullet Failed.
Our Sympathies Always Enlisted In the
Inhrmities of the Veteran.
(From The Herald, Woodstock, Ta)

fbOLctOtAf
There is an old soldier in Woodstock. Va,
who served in the war with Mexico and in
the war of the rebellion, MIR. Levi McInturff.
He passed through both these wars with
out serious wound. The hardships, how
ever, told seriously on him, for when the
grip attacked him four years ago it nearly
killed him. Who can look on the infirmi-
ties of veteran without feeling of the
deepest sympathyi His townspeople saw
him confined to his house so Frustrated
with great nervousness that he could not
hold a knife and fork at the table, scarcely
able to walk too, and as he attempted it, he
often stumbled and fell. They saw him
treated by the best talent to be had-but still
he suffered Oh for four years, and gave up
finally in despair. One day, however, he
was struck by the account of a cure which
had been effected by the use of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills. He Immediately ordered a
box and commenced taking them. He
says he was greatly relieved within three
days time. The blood found its way to his
fingers and his hands which had been pal
sled assumed a natural color, and he was soon
enabled to use his knife and fork at the
table. He has recovered his strength TO
such an extent that he is able to chop wood,
shock corn and do his regular work about
his home. He now says he can not only
walk to Woodstock, but can walk across the
mountains. He is able to lift up fifty-two
pound weight with one hand and says he
does not know what DR.. Williams Pink
Pills have done for others, but knows that
they have done a great work for him.
He was in town last Monday, court day,
and was loud in his praises of the medicine
that had given him so great relief He pur-
chased another box and took it home with
him. Mr.. Mclnturff is willing to make
affidavit to these facts.
The proprietors of DIR. Williams Pink Pills
state that they are not patent medicine but
prescription used for many years by anem-
inent practitioner who produced the most
wonderful results with them, curing all
forms of weakness arising from watery
condition of the blood or shattered nerves,
two fruitful causes of almost every ill to
which flesh is heir. The pills are also a
specific for the troubles peculiar to females,
such as suppressiOns, all forms of weak
ness, chronic constipation, bearing down
pains, etc, and in the case of men will give
speedy relief and effect permanent cure in
all cases arising from mental worry, over
work, or excuses of whatever nature. They
are entirely harmless and can be given TO
weak and sickly children with the greatest
good and without the slightestdanger. Pink
Pills are sold by all dealers, or will be sent
post paid on receipt of price, go cents abOx,
or six boxes for S2.50-they are never sold
