BRITISH NAVAL CHANGES.
Forty Useless Vessels Will Be Retired
From the Service,

New York, Dec. S-The admiralty
win issue in few days, according to q
Times dispatch from London, state
ment Of its new scheme for the distri-
button of the vessels of the British
navy.
The scheme contemplates the retire.
ment Of about 40 vessels which, In the
judgment Of the admiralty, are OF lit
tie value as warships. It also provides
for the shifting about of useful vessels
50 that there shall be adequate forces
in the various parts Of the globe where
1t is thought that the British navy
should be represented.
It is proposed, according to the cor
respondent, that unique compliment
shall be paid to the American govern
ment by practically ignoring that coun-
try in the distribution OF ships. II In
probable that only two vessels will be
stationed on the whole North American
coast, one In Athaltic and the other
in the Pacific. There may be not more
than two vessels in West Indian wat
ers. An admiralty official is quoted as
saying: while the relations between
America and Great Britain remain as
they are we do not need any warships
over there. 1t would be waste of
money to keep any there"

The controller recommends that an
act be passed repeating the limitation
on the proportion of the circulation OF
any bank which may be issued in notes
Of the denomination Of IS. The scar
city Of notes of this denomination anj
fthe s.eat convenience It is to the banks
In the smaller communities to be able
to issue notes Of IS to the amount Of
their whole circulation, as formerly,
leads the controller to strongly recon-
mend that this reduction be repealed.
The controller again renews his
for the repeal of sec
tion nine of the act Of July 9, 1882
which limits the amount Of lawful
money which may be deposited with
the treasurer Of the United States by
national banks reducing their circula-
tion to 100000 during any calendar
month. It's repeal would add mater
tally to the elasticity Of the national
bank circulation without any counter
balancing disadvantages.
The controller again calls the at
tention Of congress to the necessity for
legislation in regard to the liquidation
and consolidation of national banks and
the extension Of their corporate ex-
istence.

countries has been estimated at sis,-

gate banking power OF the world APP
proximately sss.sos.ooo.ooo.
In conclusion. the report says; THE
figures given elsewhere IN this report
show the most marvellous growth IN
the volume OF our internal trade, our
exports and imports The people OF
the United States have become the
richest In the world and the national
resources Of the country are so great
that this Is sure to continue and In
crease for many years to come. The
amount of bank clearings and deposits
and the money on hand In the banks
Increases In every portion Of the Uni
ted States at most remarkable rate.
In spite OF all this however. we do
not seem to be taking our proper rank
and position In foreign and interna-
tional bankings. One Of the chief diff
ficulties encountered by all merchants
and manufacturers In extending their
trade with foreign countries and es-
pecially those Of South America and OF
the Orient, is the lack OF American
banking facilities and the necessity Of
doing this business very largely
through European houses. This ranks
next in Importance to the question OF
an American mercantile marine. as II
is one that has very great influence
on the volume and character of our
foreign trade. AS long as the United
States were experimenting with silver
or bimetallic standard that fact
acted as a handicap In this direction,
but now that the gold standard is
firmly and irrevocably established. we
should be able TO take ou places in In
banking transactions. New
York should become more and more the
depository for international balances
and exchange on New York be accepted
more and more in all commercial eoun-
tries OF the world.

The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1904-12-09
The Reason Why.

One important reason why our peo-
pie have not been more aggressive and
taken a larger part in international
banking business has been the same
as in many other lines Of trade that Is,
that We have been too much Occupied
with our own domestic business and
there has been a greater temptation
to transact the business at home,
which was easy to do and promised as
great or even greater profits.
With the accumulation of capital and
wealth this condition is greatly
changed and there Is now In the Uni
ted States abundant capital and talent
for this business. II It is given proper
encouragement.
The controller would therefore re-
commend that national banks having
a capital Of s1.Oo0.o 900 or more and To-
Gated in the reserve cities or central
reserve cities be specifically autnori-
zed to buy and sell foreign exchange in
which to accept bills drawn on them
selves, payable not to exceed four
months after sight and to issue letters
of credit; and also to open ami main
tain such Offices, agencies or branches
as may be necessary to conduct this
business in foreign countries. Porto
Rico, the Philippine islands, the Ha-
waiian islands and the Panama canal
zone. 1t is believed that this measure
will tend to make closer the relations
Of the United States with each OF its
possessions and would be obviously to
the advantage Of both.

Thomas Huxley it was, who described
the brain as perfect logic engine, work
ing without friction. without fret and
without fear, with the strain equally
divided. rThe question then becomes
says DR.. Pierce, how to run this engine
without blowing I'D the boiler, without
accident, and withou; sending the loco
motive to the repair shop. An ignorant
man cannot run an engine; neither can
a man over-work his brain unless he
observes certain laws OF health without
meeting with some disaster" II the
engine is properly oiled and cared for il
will last great many years, and in the
same way if the human mechanism is
properly looked after it will last the
allotted three score and ten years. AS
civilization progresses, the draft on the
brain and nerves increases, but no class
OF work burns up blood as fast as brain
work. Hard work confined to shop or
Office, without the invigorating air and
sunshine becomes the pace that kills,
the muscles and flesh become fabby and
the blood watery. The human system
must be laboratory for the constant
manufacture of rich, red blood. Success
and courage depend upon the blood and
the blood depends upon the stomach,
for the stomach, when healthy, takes
ND from the food we eat the elements
required for the blood. If the stomach
cannot assinlilate the food taken up,
then the blood and the nerves starye for
the proper nourishment they require.
This human machine soon breaks down,
like the engine without coal for its boil
ers, because the heart, liver and lungs
do not receive the pure blood neces-
sary to keep them strong and active.

A CLEVER CHILD ACTRESS.

There is little girl appearing with
Down by the Sea- who could teach
many good actor a few things in stage
technique. The little girl is not more
than five years old and is billed as Baby
Lillian, and will appear at the Crawford
Thursday, January Z. The child is ac-
companied on tour by her mother her
self clever actress. and has been before
the footlights since she was six months
old, when she was the celebrated laugh
ing baby with the late James A Hernes
production of Hearts of Oak" She is
one of the we child actresses whose debut
was not made in the part of Eva" in
Uncle Toms Cabin Stage children, as
a rule, do more acting OFF the stage than
on and their vocation can be instantly
recognized by their precociousness; in
other words. their freshness; but this lit
tie one, while possessing remarkable tai
ent, reserves her ability for stage pur-
poses only and divides her time when
not otherwise employed between her doll
baby and her spelling book. Her versa
tility is best illustrated in her comedy
scenes of the play which so strongly con-
trast with her pathos. Her lack of self
consciousness and her apparent oblivi-
BUSINESS to the presence OF an audience
justly entities Baby Lillian to be adver-
tised as The Wonderful Child-Actress.

Remember this, that our bodies Will
not stand the strain of overwork with
out good, pure blood any more than the
engine can run smoothly without OIL, or
can nun at all without fuel and water"
After many years of study in the active
practice OF medicine, DR.. r. V. Pierce
found that when the stomach was out OF
order, the blood impure and there were
symptoms of general break down, a
tonic made of the Alternative extracts OF
certain herbs and roots was the best cor
receive. This he called: DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. For over a
third of century this tonic and al,era-
tive has been more largely sold than any
other blood medicine or nerve tonic.
Being made without alcohol, this Med
ical Discovery does not shrink up the
red blood corpuscles, but on the other
hand il increases their number, and they
become round and healthy. II helps
the stomach TO assimilate or take up the
proper elements from the food, thereby
helping digestion and curing dyspepsia,
heartburn, and many uncomfortable
symptoms, such as heart-palpitation due
to gas formed in the stomach. It Is
especially adapted IN diseases attended
with excessive tissue waste, especially IN
convalesceuce from the various spring
fevers. whether of a nialarial or typhoid
character. As tonic and reconstructive

been extensively used as re builder

United States as mining stock brokers
and promoters, were arrested today on
the complaint of Postoffice Inspector
Williams on charge of a scheme to de-
fraud, made after an investigation of
their business schemes had been inves-
tigated. More than $500, 600 is involved
in the case and the federal authorities
declare that sensational revelations will
be made. The brothers were taken be-
