INCREASE IN SMALL BILLS.
Change to Be Made in National Bank
Plates

Following the plaii~ OF Secretary Shaw in
inviting national banks to print and use a
greater number of SIS bills to help out
the stringency in small bills, Controller
Ridgely has decided to make a change in
the plates from which national bank notes
are printed so to give a greater supply
of $40 notes. Heretofore the plates for
one plate contained four sos and another
contained three Sos and one $50. Under
this ARRANGEMENT banks were compelled to
take some $50 notes every time they or
dered $1os. Controller Tracewell will have
new plates made up that will consist of
four Sos and nothing else The present
plate with three S10's and one $40 will re-
main.
The expectation Is that in the future ma
tional banks will divide up their circua-
ton more fully among $5s and Sos, which
viii materially aid the circulat ton of small
notes.

A WeII-Known Remedy.

One of the oldest, safest and most
faYorably known remedies in the
world to-day is Brandreth's Pills-a
blood purifier and laxative. Being
purely vegetable. they can be used by
old or young with perfect safety. and
while other remedies require increased
doses and finally cease acting alto
gether, with Brandreth's Pills the
same dose always has the same effect,
no matter how long they are taken.
One or two pills taken each night for
a while is the best thing known for
any one troubled with constipation, in
digestion, dyspepsia or any trouble
arising from impurity of the blood.
Brandreth's Pills have been in use
for over a century, and are for sale
everywhere, plain or sugar-coated.
