FLAW DISCOVERED
IN CURRENCY LAW
NOT ONE DOLLAR OF EMERGENCY
MONEY MAY BE IS
SUED.
TREASURY OFFICIALS TALK.
Say Banks VIII Retain Present System,
as Bill Does Not Kill Clear
ing House Notes.
WILL DODGE THE MONEY TAX.

WASHINGTON, u. c., June G.
After it w&s jau.med through the House
by specia! rule and through the Sen
ate by the aid Of night sessions to defeat
the fIibuster against it, treasury officials
declare that the Aldrich Vreeland cur
rency bills most important feature is in
operative and that not one dollar Of the
$5OO,OOO,OOO emergency currency author
lied will ever be issued
There is nothing in the law to declare
clearing house certificates illegal. Nor
are they taxed. The law provides elab-
crate machinery for the organization of
national currency associations, formed OF
not less than ten national banks, the
purpose Of which Is to render available
as a basis for additional circulation any
securities, including commercial paper,
held by a national banking association"
Tax on Circulation.
All circulation not based on United
States bonds is to be taxed D per cent
the first month, and ! per cent. addition
al until it reaches 10 per cent, the OBJ
iect being to drive the emergency cur
rency out of circulation as soon as the
need for it passes.
Under the circumstances, if an emer-
gency should arise, treasury officials be
Sieve that instead Of issuing highly
taxed emergency certificates the banks

clearing house certificates which would
cost them nothing. Over $1OO,OOO,OO
in these certificates were issued last fall.
The department is. however, taking
steps as required by the law, to prepare
the $5OO,OOO,OOO Of emergency circulat-
ing notes in blank. 50 that they may be
ready to issue to any bank that may APP
ply for them under the regulations 1t
is calculated that the work will take
several months and will cost about
$4,000.
National Banks Excepted.
Under the terms of the new law, banks
in which funds of the government are de-
posted must hereafter pay interest for
the use Of such funds An exception is
made of national banking associations
designated as regular repositories in
which government funds are placed
strictly for use i'll meeting the govern
ment's own expenses.
There are outstanding about So .O00,-
900 of government funds on which inter
est must be paid by banks. By an odd
coincidence, an equal amount rests i'll
repositories not subject to the tax.
One Cent Minimum Rate
The rate of interest chargeable is to be
not less than l per cent, and as much
more as the secretary of the treasury
may deem proper
In the south and the west huge sums
of money are necessary each year TO
move the crops, and government funds
have frequently aided greatly i'll relev-
ing the situation. Hereafter banks must
pay for money lent 10y the government to
move crops.

The Evolution OF
Household Remedies

The modern patent medicine bust
ness IS the natural outgrowth OF the
old-time household remedies.
In The early history of this country
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME.
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas.
bitters, laxatives and tonics, were to be
found in almost every house, compound
ed by the housewife, sometimes assisted
BY the apothecary or the family doctor.
Such remedies as picra, which was
aloes and quassis, dissolved in apple
brandy. Sometimes hop tonic, made
OF whlskey, hops and bitter barks. a
score or more of popular, homemade
remedies were thus compounded, the
formulate for which were passed along
from house to house, sometimes written,
sometimes verbally communicated.
= The patent medicine business is a
natural outgrowth from this whole
some, old-time custom. In the begin
ming, some enterprising doctor, i'm
pressed by the usefulness of one of
these homemade remedies, would take
it up, improve it in many ways, manu-
facture it on large scale, advertise it
mainly through almanacs for the home,
and thus it would become used over a
large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE
HOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK
A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Peruna was originally one of these
cld-time remedies. It was used by the
Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before it
was offered to the public for sale. DR..
Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COM
FOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men
MONTE origin. First, he prescribed it
for his neighbors and his patients.
The sale Of it increased, and at last he
established mandatory and fur
nished it to the general drug trade.
Peruna is useful in a great many
climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds,
sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal
diseases generally, THOUSANDS OF
FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE
USE OF PERUNA and its value in the
treatment of these ailments. They
have learned to trust and believe in
DR.. Hartman's Judgment, and to rely
on his remedy, Peruna.
