had been several instances Of small
inaccuracies at the teller's window
etc = ] found nothing in the &C
counts of the bank that would lead
me to believe that any misapplica-
tion Of funds has taken place. The
items of real estate and expense
mentioned above seem in line and
are fully set out IN these accounts
and came under the scrutiny of the
auditing committee. etc. and |
think they are all right.
The affairs of the bank were
audited at regular intervals by an
auditing committee composed of
Mr.. David Cohn and Mr.. Ferd v.
Becker and 1t seems that these gen.
tlemen did their work very sys-
tematically and with thoroughness
and do not believe any consider
able misapplication of the funds of
the bank or the squandering of its
assets could have escaped them.
have attached analyses of the
operating accounts of the bank so
that you may see that the earnings
we're in line. | also attach analy-
ses OF the real estate and expense
accounts and itemized statements
of the profit and loss and other ac-
counts through which any misap-
plication of funds would have had
to be run other than in the matter
of loans, and this is treated later
in this report.
There are sundry adjustments to
be made on the schedule of assets
and liabilities as indicated in the
reconciliation statements attached
hereto These will all be made by
the assignees in their next report,
at which time they will also report
on insolvent or worthless bills re-
ceivable. etc and will ask to be
credited with same and charged
with any items of assets not set out
in the original schedule. The ad-
justment items will change the
condition as exhibited very little
but there will doubtless be SUBJ
stantial reductions for bad paper.

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS
Genuine Merit Required to Win the
 People's Confidence

Have you ever stopped to reason why it Is that so many products that are extensively advertised, all at once drop out of sight and are soon forgot ten2 The reason is plain-the art1cie did not fulfil the promises of the man ufacturer. This applies more particu- larly to a medicine. A medicinal prep aration that has real curative value almost sells itself. as like an endless chain system the remedy is recom- mended by those who have been bene- flied, to those who are in need of it
 A prominent druggist says, Take for example pr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recom- mend. for in all post every case 1t shows excellent results, as many or my customers testify. No other kid ney remedy that l know of has so large a sale"
 According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of pr. Kilmers Swamp-Root is due to the fact that it fulfils almost every wish in overcoming kidney. liver and bladder diseases. corrects urinary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism.
 You may receive a sample bottle of Swamp Root by Parcels Post. Address pr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton. N. r. and enclose ten cents; also mention The Bulletin.

To Put On Flesh
 And Increase Weight
A Physicians Advice

Most thin people eat from four to six pounds of good solid fat-making food every day and still do not increase in weight one ounce. while on the other hand many of the plump. chunky folks eat very lightly and keep gaining all the time. It's all boSh to say that this is the nature of the individual IL fsn- { Natures way at all.
 Tuin folks stay thin because their powers or assimilation are defective. They absorb just enough of the food blance of health and strengrn SJu1nng won't heln them. A dozen meals a uay won't make them gain a single stay there pound. All the fat-producius sr clements of their food just stay in the inteStines until they pass from the body as waste. What such people need is something that will prepare these fatty food elements so that the blood can absorb them and deposit them all about the body-somethtng too, that will multiply their red blood corpuscles and increase their blood's carrying power.
 For such condition l always recon . mend eating a Sargol tablet with every meal. SarSol Is not, as some believe a patented drug, but is a scientffic v5In- binati0n of six Of the most effective and to chemistry, It Is absolutely harm less, yet wonderfully effective and a single tablet eaten with each meal of ten has the effect of increasing the weight of thin man or woman from three to five pounds a week SargoI is sold hY Lee & ysgood and other good druggists everywhere on posftIVa . guarantee- of weight increase CT money hack<
