opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re-

mucous membranes lining the stomach and
exposes the nerves Of the stomach, thus caus-
ing the glands to secrete mucin instead of
the juices of natural digestion. This Is
called Catarrh of the Stomach

while advancing on Saimatsza, almost

A CALL FOR MONEY
CIRCULAR SENT OUT TO Ma
TIONAL BANKS.
Preparing to Arrange for Payment OF
the 1000, 900 Preliminary
to Building of Canal.

Secretary Shaw today sent the following
circular to all national banks:
1T seems probable that the government
will be called upon in the near future to
pay $50 100000 preliminary to the construc-
ton of an interoceanic canal In addition
to this, there are outstanding approximate
ly s., GEO 600 of United States bonds which
by their terms matured on February j,
1904, and Congress is considering a propo-
sitien to loan between 81 10000 and IS 000.-
600 to the Louisiana purchase exposition.
To meet these probable demands il will be
necessary to withdraw at least $50 O00, 900
fl ON depository banks.
You are therefore requested to make
immediate preparation for the payment on
demand of twenty per cent at New York.
In the near future, possibly within ten
days, you will be asked to transfer this
amount to some one of the New York de-
positary banks. to be used in settlement
for the canal right of way.
If you desire to sell at once a portion OF
the securities now held by the government
against your deposit, you will so inform
this Office, and arrangements will be made
for the immediate transfer, so as to avoid
actual Withdrawals from channels of
trade.
"The department will surrender no
United States bonds held as security for
deposits with any bank until such bank
has withdrawn all state and municipal
bonds now held as such security but se-
curities eff the District of Columbia Philip
pine Islands and Hawaii will be retained, il

LIMIT OF PROSECUTION.
Bills introduced of Interest in Connec
ton With Post Office Affairs.

Representative Jenkins, chairman of the
House committee on judiciary. today intro
duced three bills Of peculiar interest at this
time in view Of the post Office investiga-
ton and trials now in progress
One of the bills introduced by Judge Jen-
kins extends the limit of time within which
officers, agents and officials of the United
States governments may be prosecuted to
five years The present limitation is three
years 1t has been contended In the post
office investigation that certain persons
have become immune because of the opera
ton Of the statute. Judge Jenkins bill
will not reach such people because 1t is
not designed as a retroactive law and con-
tains this specific provision:
But this act shall not have effect to
authorize the prosecution. trial or punish
ment for any offense. barred by the pro-
visions of existing law"
Judge jenkins second bill amends section
1044 of the Revised Statutes, the statute of
limitations, by making the limit five years.
This bill also contains the proviso quoted
above. The general statute does not ap-
ply to United States officers, hence the ne
cessity for the separate measures.
Representative jenkins third bill provides
for the appointment of solicitor for the
Post Office Department. and abolishes the
Office of assistant attorney general for the
Post Office Department 1t proposes that
there shall be in the Department of Justice
a solicitor for the Post Office Department
appointed by the President at salary of
4,508 a year and shall perform the same
duties as have heretofore been performed
by the assistant attorney general. The eff
feet of this measure Is to transfer the ap-
pointing power, with regard to the law OFF,
Ger of the department, from the hands of
the Postmaster General to the President.
