MORE GOLD CERTIFICATES
Secretary Carlisle to Resume Theil
Issue Soon.
Reserve Is Now Believed Sufft.
cientIy Stable to Enable Their
Circulation.

Assistant Secretary Curtis has been in
New York two days but will be at his
desk again Friday. No Information is
vouchsafed at the department as to the
cause for his visit to New York, but it is
believed to be in connection with the pro-
posed renewal Of the issuance OF gold Ger
uficates.
II was generally understoodat the depart
ment that upon the return OF the Assist
ant secretary, Secretary Carlisle would
issue an order permitting the resumption
Of this practice he having authority
under the act of July II, 1882, to stop the
issue of gold certificates whenever the re-
serve fell below the one hundred million
mark.
The cessation of this issue has hap
pened frequently during the past four
years, hut 1T is now believed that the
ordinary course Of business will not inter
fere with a practice that has been found
convenient for the banking institutions
Of the country, and particularly for those
in the large cities.
There has been no stable gold balance
since 1893. When Secretary Carlisle
took hold of the Treasury in March, S93,
there were SIG ,000,009 of gold GER
tificates outstanding, but they have teen
steadily withdrawn. When the first sus-
pension of the issue OF gold certificates
occurred there We're $4,000, 900 out
standing. This happened in April, 1898.
After the sale of bonds the gold reserve
was recouped. but only Temporarily on
two different occasions the issue OF gold
certificates was resumed, but il was stopped
at both times within two or three days
after the order WAS made permitting them
Then the Secretary decided not To again
direUt their issue until the balance was
stable and devoid OF the fluctuations that
had marked IL through period of many
months. rt
Yesterdaythe outstanding CidccrtificateS
aggregated only S39, ,5ss, 80. The issue
proposed consists sofdenouinationso OF of So 900
and $40 900, and will be issued to such
persons as deposit the gold In the Treasury
upon which they are issued. These issIes
are largely used by banks as part of their

seriously interfcrcd with.
If man could see what Il .'wet blanket"
he put over his hard working friend, the
stomach, by putting in coffee, whisky or
tobacco, when it was honestly tOiling away
to do its work well. he would never repeat
the outrage and injustice. 1t is like
striking your friend a vicious blow when
he is delving away for you with might and
main. Don't do il. One feels more re-
spect for himself when he acts the man
and permits no form of abuse to stranglc
and spoil the beautiful work being done
for him in the human body. No sort of
fun on earth is equal to the fun of being
thoroughly well.

Medicines are poor crutches. The only
safety is to Isc food and drink that the
Creator intended for man, and when this is
done the diseases and sick spells gradually
disappear.
Common sense Is quite uncommon except
with those who give themselves a shaking
now and then and look plainly at what
they are doing. If a person kno ws coffee

does, then such people thoroughly ap-
