MONEY MOVING.
Banks Begin the Payment of
Interest and Dividends
Amounting to $1S2, 900, 900 and
Breaking All Records.
REDEEMING ITS BONDS
The Government Is Paying Off
the FOurs of 1907.
A Big Advance in Call Money
Has Resulted.
REDEEMING ITS BONDS

New York, July 2.-The New York
banks have begun the disbursement of
July dividends and interest amounting
to more than $1S2. 100000. This will
be the largest sum that ever has been
paid out this month in the city of
New York. In preparation for these
heavy payments, the banks have been
calling loans and shifting accounts to
such an extent that the rates for call
loans yesterday advanced to ID per
cent. This is the highest rate in
months.
The government today will begin to
redeem the 4 per cent bonds of 1907,
of which about $36.00O,000 are out
standing. 1t is expected that between
100000 and $15,0OO,000 will be
paid out in New York alone. Bankers
say that the tension due to the July
payment will probably last about ten
days.
It will be that time before the
money that is paid out begins to re-
turn to the banks.

WANT TO SELL LIQUOR.
Applications From 1000 Received by
the Revenue Collector.

Leavenworth. Kan. July. 2.-When
the office of the United States internal
revenue collector closed at O'Clock
last evening, more than 1000 applica-
tions for government liquor licenses
had been received. The old licenses
expired at midnight of Sunday. The
applications received come from every
locality in the state.
The applicant does not have to
wait until he receives his license be-
fore he can start in business. The mo-
ment he files his application he is en-
titled to the protection the license
gives him. The licenses cover all alco-
holic beverages, and many patent
medicines come under its provisions.
The necessity of filing application
for renewal has played havoc with the
jointists. They know that to apply for
a license will proclaim their business
and it is dangerous for them to sell in
toxicants without one. The license
costs s25. About twenty-five in Leav-
enworth county have applied. num-
Der of these are proprietors of two
per cent joints. while a few are en-
gagged in the sale of something strong

VALUE OF WALKING.
Benefits to Be Derived From This
Form Of Exercise.


There is hardly an instance OF a long
lived man who has not been for the
best part OF his life brisk walker
and for some reason or other has had
to take exercise pretty well every day.
Riding is all very well and SO are
other exercises. but there Is nothing &
like a good walk, because il stimulates
the blood and the muscles and necessi-
tates being in the open air.
If those who complain OF being stout
would only think OF this and never
omit n daily constitutional they would
bs amply rewarded. IL will keep them
young and their figures presentsble.
II is simply a remedy that no one
heeds 10. Sitting about in the open
air Is all very well and is far better
than sitting In the house. but II does
not keep you in good health.
II Is quite another thing to over.
fatigue oneself. There Is nothing bet
ter than to get into a healthy perspira-
tion by walking. 1t Is just like drink
Ing a glass OF cold water In the morn
ing II IL so simple no one believes
In IT,
This may not suit everybody. but
those II does suit IL will keep In health.
