Alvin F. Smith, retired, address 10

ed by a gentleman IN the winter of
1897 about my experience with and
opinion Of Doan's Kidney pills. a pre-
paration for which I had gone to 81 A.

took a course of the treatment. / be-
lieve / was born with a weak back
and as I grew older. at least every
year, / was subject to an attack of
backache which compelled me to take
to my bed. Doans Kidney Pills stop
ped that annual occurrence and they
have been the means of stopping other
attacks since. When I look back over
the SO years Of my life and think what
I might have escaped had / known
about the value Of Doan's Kidney Pills,
1t makes me wonder that people, when

to representation, will not avail them

| sequences. Often | could neither lift
any weight nor stoop without suffering
and added to this, there was a difficult

severe attack. I have recommended
them to many friends and acquaint-

GOVERNMENT DEPOSITS.
Probable Increase of Amounts in Dis
trict Banks.

Probable Increase OF Amounts In lis
trict Banks.
It is likely there will be considerable In
crease in the volume Of money in the banks
Of the District Independent of the notable
additions which the bank statements for
several years past show have come from
increased deposits. This will probably
come from an enlargement in the amount
of government funds on deposit In the
District banks. At present only three banks
have government deposits. AS is well
known. such deposits are made on the con-
dition that there will be placed in the
treasury government bonds having a face
value equal to the sum on deposit.
For example, If 100000 of the money
of the government is placed in any bank in
the District, or in fact, in national bank
anywhere. a necessary preliminary Is for
the bank to purchase United States bonds
the par value of which is $10O, 900, and put
them up as collateral
This can, Of course, be done to only a
limited extent, for the reason that the
public funds available for use of this sort
are not sufficient to give all the banks
all that they ask for. In this city at
the present time. there is about $3.50, 600 Of
Uncle Sans money in District banks, for
which the stipulated collateral has been
put up. AS some of the banks are soon
to start out on career of enlarged capt.
tai, it is probable that there will also be
an increase in the amount Of the public
money on deposit here.
