NATIONAL BANKS TAKE
ADDITIONAL NOTES
Adopt This Method to Meet
Demand for Money.
Secretary Shaw's Suggestion Proves
Satisfactory to Many of the Larger
Depository Banks.

The suggestion Of Secretary Shaw
that the national banks take out addi-
tional amounts OF circulating notes.
with view 10 meeting any demands
for currency that may be needed in
he movement of crops, has met the
approval Of those institutions. and Sc
lar S15,0OO,OC0 of additional notes have
been ordered rrintedsfor their use. This
amount Is in addition to the regular
demands Tor bank notes.
While the additional notes will be
prepared at once. they will not be is
sued Until there Is a demand for more
money. but viii be held in reserve for
an emergency should it arise.
Ready for Emergency.
To print aud deliver to the banks any
notes they may require
usually takes about forty days. but with
the notes already printed and in stock
the hanks can obtain them in twenty
four hours. and thus relieve any demand
for currency that may Unexpectedly
arise.
Secretary Shaw's suggestion was not
a general one. but was made only to the
larger depository banks with which the
Treasury Deartment has extensive deal
iDgs. and whose circulating notes are
below the amount authorized by law.

TROUBLE BREWING
FOR PIPE SMOKERS
French Physicians Discover
Peril Hoverlng About.
HAS A TERRIFYING NAME
Latest Affliction Has Been Dubbed
Epithelioma, But Local Surgeons Say
1t Is Nothing Else Than an Old
Enemy.

The eminent specialist is at it again
From gay Paris comes the Intelligence
that the French physicians have dis
covered new disease. 1t is said to be
common among those who smoke pipes
After careful consideration of this
afliiction the specialists have burdened
1t with the name of ''epitheiioma Tn
like other ailments with tongue twisting
names. this latest i'll is not discrimi-
mating in the matter of distributing its
bacilli. It is both ultra fashionable and
plebeian. The high and the low are sub
ject to its whims. -
A New Term.
A well-known Washington physician.
in discussing the new disease yesterday
said that he was familiar with the symp-
toms. but that tie term "epithelioma"
was a new one on him. An inveterate
smoker, particularly a person who uses
a pipe, is sure TO be afflicted. more or
less. by this disease. In its advanced
stages the trouble is nothing more nor
less than cancer of the lips and tongue.
There is no need, however, to alarm the
smokers by declaring that the pipe is
unhealthful and a disease breeder. A
careful smoker always keeps his pipe
in state of cleanliness.
The incipient stages OF the disease"
continued the physician. ARE common
among those who smoke short clay pipes.
The trouble generally reveals itself at
the point where the stem of the heated
pipe comes in contact with the lower lip.
The tongue is affected on the side where
a stream of smoke is likely to strike
this delicate organ at each inhalation.
Two Forms of Disease.
These two forms OF the disease are
the most serious in their effects. To al
lay any feeling of alarm among pipe
smokers. might add that epithelioma-
SO called-is an exceptionally uncommon
disease. Among pipe smokers generally
might state that the disease claims. on
an average. one victim out of thousand.
the startling discovery
made by the French physician. the dis
ease is not>a new one by any means. AS
far as 'epithelioma is copcerned-well,
the term certainly is new one. case

Determined to sift the matter 10 the
bottom, the jealous reporter looked
around for evidences of the disease. A
street laborer he met looked like
good subject, The reporter approached
him timidly. Are you suffering from
apithelioma he asked. The man ad-
dressed slowly puffed at his short derry
and then exploded with honest indigna-

LIQUID full FOR
ALL NAVAL PURPOSES
Whether 1t Can Be. Used
Economically AQuestion.
Admiral Melville Holds That Recent
Experiments Have Been of In
calculable Value

The tests Of oil fuel that are being
conducted in this city by board of
naval officers of which Lieutenant Com
mander John r. Edwards. L. s y. is
the president. have already demonstrated
that liquid fuel can be used with the
utmost facility. Rear Admiral Melville.
chief of the Bureau OF Steam Engineering
of the Nav Department. however. says
that whether such fuel can be econom-
ically used by the navy is another mat
ter, and has yet to be proven.
According to this officer there seems
to be little prospect at the present time
that liquid fusI will supplant coal as
fuel in the navy except for such small
vessels as torpedo boats and naval tugs.
Expense Is Heavy.
Oil can be burned with perfect safety.
but when the matter of expense Is
taken into consideration it is not as
economical as coal when the latter is
selling at normal prices.
Admiral Melville says. however, that
the recent experiments have been of in
caIcriable value to the navy, and that
they are TO be continued along the same
lines.
