The Reserve Act.
Of the Federal Reserve act and
what it is expected to accomplish for
the finance and commerce of. the
country the Comptroller says:
THE Federal reserve act is designed
not only to cure weaknesses and de-
fects of the currency system under
which we have struggled, and some
times staggered, in the past, as we
have outgrown the conditions and
passed beyond the circumstances
which it was especially provided to
meet, but to offer to the people OF
this country many new advantages
and opportunities, while emancipating
business from many evils, difficulties
and troubles with which it has been
burdened and from which it has found
no escape" +,

counts the activities of governmental
agencies to aid the financial and bust
ness world during the stress az the

Ysobel,s Reformation.

Ysobei's Reformation.
Ysobel Smooch, young and beautiful
to say the least, hesitated outside the
g%littering Cafe de Bon Bon, torn be-
tween conflicting emotions between
the hours Of II and ~ p. m.
Outside all was dark and dismal.
Inside all was not. All was bright
and cheerful and gay.
"Shall I turn over a new leaf?" Yso.
bel asked herself, cor shall I keep
hitting up on the old page?"
There was no answer.
The fair girl: feet were waverine
toward the lights, when she reflected
again.
He was there! He! He! He!
He was the same cashier who had
seen her slip by the evening before
without the formality Of paying her
bill.
Resolutely, Ysobel 'smooch turned
her steps toward a different life.-De.

ing the seventies. When the Rev.
Voysey was expelled from the Angel

guilty of heresy, he carried a number
Of followers with him . His doctrine
was of the Unitarian order, and his
service was aided by high class mu~

the pastcrate was given to DR.. Walter
Walsh, once the central figure in a
heresy trial and well known as a mod.
ernist and a democratic worker in
civic affairs in Dundee. Dr.. Walsh
occupied the pulpit for two years.
But the congregation dwindled to
such an extent that the church seem

INSIGNIFICANT things are some
times responsible for important

illustrated by the story Of Mrs. kdith

A handsome. motherly woman, with
soft. white hair above d young face

stood for a moment watching the pa

play the total dcpravity characteristic
of inanimate things. 1t took a leap
and landed joyfully against little

came 20 her rescue and the woman in

she picked it up she glanced thought
