The Washington times., 1911-01-17

Senator Nelson w. AIdrich, before de-
fore departing for the South. sent to
the National Monetary Commission the
plan he has drafted for monetary re-
form in the United States.
1t comprehends the readjustment of
the national banking laws and the form
alton of a great central bank in Wash
ington with $500, ,OOO, 900 capital. 1t rep
resents the fruit of the investigations of
Senator Aldrich into the banking and
currency needs of the country for many
months past. II is not to be taken as
the completed plan of the Monetary
Commission, for that body at a meeting
sometime ago authorized Senator AL
drich to prepare a draft of plan to be
used by the commission as basis for
working out the commissions COM
pleted report.
In sending his plan to the commission,
which met today to consider it, Senator
Aldrich declared the present law obso-
lete and added:
I'm the light of our experience it is
obvious that one of the principal needs
is to find some method for the unifica-
ton of our present banking institutions
into one comprehensive system. In
other countries we have found that re-
serves are concentrated and used freely
in any direction where needed Under
our faulty system reserves are so scat
tered as to be unavailable in time of
trouble, either for purposes of assist
ance or defense"
Wants Banks Associated.
Instead of a system of isolated units.
Senator AlHTirh 80
an association of all the banks of the
country. and in addition to this "a more
scientific bank note circulation"
y further requirement, he says, is a
discount market similar to the discount
markets in Europe, so that the most
liquid portion Of our bank funds will not
Of necessity be forced to such large
degree as at present into the making of
call loans upon stock exchange collat-
erdl, but will, instead be available for
the needs of our commercial business
Meme Of the European systems are ap-
plicable to the needs of this country, ac-
Cording to Senator Aldrich. What he
proposes is not central bank in the
European sense of the tenn. he says,
DIt instead. what IS TO he known as the
"R"SCrVC Association Of America"
the statement goes on to say:
1t is proposed to charter the Reserve
Association Of America. which will be
the principal fiscal agent of the Govern
ment of tine United States. The author
lied capital of the reserve association
shall l." $780, ON 900 The length of its
charter shall be fifty wears. The head
Office shall be in Washington. .. c.
The country shall be divided into fif-
teen districts. and a branch of the re-
serve association located in each dis
trict.
"Unly national banks may subscribe
to the capital stock of the Reserve As
SoCiation. After the payment Of all ex-
penSeS and taxes, the stockholders shall
receive per cent. Further earnings

Health and Beauty Queries
BY MRS. MAE MARTYN

Julia M: 1t is natural to grow
heavier during cold weather months, but
your weight is increasing too rapidly,
and would suggest simple treatment
which is splendid for taking off flesh.
Get from the druggist four ounces Of
parnotis and dissolve in ~ pints hot
water. tablespoonful of this before
each meal will gradually take off the
supertfuous weight. This treatment is
harmless, costs little and requires no
starving, but you must be sure to get
parnOtiS.
Elsie l.: 1t is ungallant for your
sweetheart to chide You about the
downy growth on your face, but if you
follow these simple directions the hair
can be easily removed: Buy an ounce
of delatone from your druggist, mix
little with enough water to make a
paste, and apply to the hairy surface
Let remain for two or three minutes,
then rub off and wash the surface well.
While delatone is little expensive, one
application usually does the work.
May: Stop using face powders and
try this liquid powder for that shiny
look, and your complexion will soon re-
sumo its natural healthy tint: Dissolve
four ounces of spurmaN in one-half pint
hot water, add two teaspoonfuls glycer-
inc, shake well and let cool. This ap-
piled to the skins surface after wash
ing clears and cleanses it and gives II a
pink and white glow not obtainable with
poW9eT ana rouge ANY druggist can
supply spurmax, and 1t is inexpensive.
Hermes: Face lotions will not rid
your face of its pimples and liver spots.
This condition is caused through i'm
purities in the blood finding their way to
the skins surface. What you require is
a blood cleanser and system tonic, and
if you will prepare this inexpensive
recipe the skin will become clear and
you will feel much better: Get an
ounce of kardene from your druggist
and dissolve in one-half pint alcohol,
adding one-half cup sugar, then hot
water to make a quart Take table
spoonful before each meal, and I'm sure
you will find It excellent.
Bride: Here is splendid recipe for
a greaseless massage cream: Dissolve

Naphtha soaps can be
used successfully only in
cold water. Sunny Monday
laundry soap does its work,
no matter what kind of
water you use hard, soft,
cold, luke-warm; hot or boiling; it
also softens hard water.
Sunny Monday will not shrink
woolens or Aannels, and will not
fade the colors in colored goods. 1t

Suit for Choice Coal Land.

Denver.-The United States govern
ment entered suit in the United
States District Court against the Car
bon Coal and Coke Company. a sub
sidiary company of the American
Smelling and Refining Company. bet
ter known as the smelter trust. and
the Exploration Company. Ltd, one of
the largest British mining corpora
tons in the world. to recover coal
lands in Colorado alleged to have been
fraudulently acquired by means of the
dummy entryman system.
The value of the lands In controver-
sy is rated at not less than $4,000
900. They are declared by govern
ment experts to be among the choicest
coal properties in the state.
The suit is based on a new point OF
law to the effect that the statute OF
limitations as ordinarily construed
does not actually apply to these cases.
1t is commended that the statute Of
limitations does not commence to run
until the fraud is discovered.
The suit against the Carbon CoaI
and Coke Company embraces eight
coal entries made in 1901. consisting
of 1.2SO acres at Cokedale, where the
company's plant is located.
The lands are alleged to have been
taken by dummy entries in 1903 and
1904.
The investigations were made under
the supervision OF the field division OF
the General Land Office for Colorado.
of which NJ. ID. McEniry is chief. in

mended in the latter part of 1909. d.

act as dummy entrymen.
