School Teachers and Investments.

To the Editor Of The Star:
The public school teachers Of the District
Of Columbia and probably all the public
school teachers throughout the United
States are being besieged with specious and
alluring circulars concerning all sorts of
mushroom stock-jobbing corporations, ex-
plotting alleged important inventions, min
ing stocks, etc. and it seems to me that a
word of warning to the teachers should be
given them against these humbugs. There
is no more worthy class of useful and de-
serving citizens than the public school
teachers. They are. however. for the most
part, young and inexperienced in the wiles
of the stock-jobbing world. These shrewd
concerns, which are flooding the country
with their literature, recognizing the fact
that they must put up a plausible and con-
vincing prospectus, employ the best skill to
formulate their claims in attractive printed
matter of gilt-edge finish. It is worthy Of

TRY THIS FOR
SALLOW COMPLEXION

The following prescription is one
constantly prescribed by the most
up-to-date physicians and is known
as the Pasteur formula: Two
ounces Essence of Pepsin; three
ounces Syrup of Ginger; one ounce
Catandir Compound: mix well and use
in doses of from one to two tea
spoonfuis after each meal; also at
bed time for the first four or five
days" Sallow complexion, bad
breath and nervousness are caused
by imperfect digestion which allows
poisonous acids to be absorbed into
the blood instead of being expelled
through the bowels. This extremely
distressing condition is said to be
most effectually removed by the use
of the above prescription. A we'll
known local druggist states that he
has advised many of his patrons that
this formula has exceptional cura-
tive powers and that Il makes
pleasant remedy TO take. The in
gradients can be gotten from any
weil7stocked pharmacy and easily
mixed at home. 1t

MORE INQUIRIES INTO BONDS
Defense I'm walsh Case brings out
that No Profit Was Made
on Sale.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2-Attorney Miller,
counsel for the defendant continued today
his cross-examination OF Bank Examiner
Moxey In the trial Of John r. Walsh. ex-
president Of the Chicago National bank.
His first inquiries related to the sale of
other bonds than those used for collateral
for the various memorandum notes men
toned by Mr.. Moxey on his direct exami-
nation. IL was shown by the defense that
these bonds had been sold to the public at
prices equal to those received for them
from the Chicago National bank
During the cross-examination, the de-
fense brought out the fact that all Of the
bonds of Mr.. Walsh's various companies
accepted by the Chicago National bank
had been sold to outside parties without
loss to the bank.
On redirect examination It was brought
out that many Of the memorandum notes
which the defense claimed Mr.. Walsh had
paid had been simply renewed. 1t was
shown that many of these renewed notes
were in the bank when It was closed in
December 1905.
The bank examiner asserted that when
the bank closed there were thirteen notes,
each of the face value of $4,000 stin un-
paid, although the discount book pur-
ported to show them as paid,

LONDON, Nov H.-The Bank OF Eng
lands discount rate remained unchanged
today at per cent. This was regarded as
indicating that the directors are stiu hope
ful that the American governments ef-
forts TO relieve the currency famine in the
United States will prove successful, but
Il did not suffice to dispel the uneasness
regarding the American situation prevail
ing in the money market here. Lombard
street, like the other European money
contors. intends, It is said, to remain on
the defensive until the conditions in Amer
lea have cleared. The complaint is made
here that the New York bankers seem
more intent on dragging further gold
across the Atlantic than in assisting the
authorities at Washington in restoring
confidence among the general public.
The Bank of England lost the greater
part of e2OOO0OO in gold during the last
are stlr coming in. Very little gold is
arriving here from the continent to offset
this drain, continental competition for
sterling bills having ceased, a fact which
the money market is inclined to accept as
indication Of the unwllingness Of Paris
to part with much more Of the metal.
The reiterated reports that American
bankers propose to utilize the new treas
ury certificates as a means of attracting
gold to New York are not favoraby re-
ceived. with the strained financial situation
both in Chile and Portugal further in
creasing the local tension.
