quite uneasy.
"I don't KNOW said George.
"I suppose it is hard to make up

"Oh dear. oh dear cried George,
who had thought he was going to have
fun with the Goblin. and he hid his
head under the bed clothes in shame.
"YOu see.' continued the Goblin,
you were getting into the habit of
really making a little Piggie of your
self! You were getting too fat and
lazy. You didn't like to play Ball with
the Boys nearly so much ns you once
did. Isn't that true?' And George,
who had stuck his head out of the bed
clothes again, nodded.

Look back at your childhood DAYS.
Remember the dose mother insisted
on-castor oil, calbmel, cathartics. How
you hated them, how you fought against
them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form of
physic simply dom realize what they
do. The children s revolt is well-found-
ed. Their tender little "insides' - are
injured by them.
If your child s stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli

action is positive, but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless fruit

love TO take it; that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweeten
the stomach, and that a teaspoonful
given today saves "A sick child tomor-

u. S. Banks Warned Not to
Tie Up Funds on Long
Term Obligations
STATEMENT ANSWER
TO MORGAN FIRM
Report Is Regarded In Official Circles
as One of the Most Important Decla-
rations Made by the Board Since It's
Creation.

WASHINGTON, Nov 2S. - American
bankers were warned by the federal re-
serve board yesterday to avoid locking I'D
their funds by purchasing treasury bills of
foreign governments involving long-term
obligations While specifically disclalming
any intention of rejecting upon the
financial stability of any nation" the
board advised all investors to proceed with
caution and formally announced to mem
Der banks of the federal reserve system
that with the liquid funds which should
be available to American merchants, man
ufacturers and farmers in danger of being
absorbed for other purposes, it does not
regard it in the interest of the country at
this time that they invest in foreign treas
ury bills of this character -
The statement is regarded in official cir
cles as one of the most important declara-
tions by the board since its creation Of
hcials would not discuss the question for
publication, but some of them informally
interpreted the warning as the reserve
boards answer to the recent proposal of
j. T. Morgan < Co., British fiscal agents
in this country, to have American bankers
accept British treasury bills of an indeti-
mite total issue, secured by gold reserves
held in Ottawa. Such loans would be for
~ days, with the privilege of renewal for
five other 90-day periods.
Danger from further importation of
large amounts of gold, the board says, will
arise only in case the gold Is permitted to
become the basis of undesirable loan eX-
pansions and of imitation. Emphasis is laid
upon the necessity for caution in putting
money into investments which are short
term in name, but which either by con
tract or through force OF circumstances
may in the aggregate have To be renewed
until normal conditions return.
Member banks are urged not to loan
down to the legal limit, but to maintain
an excess of reserves-not with reserve
agents, where their balances are loaned
out and constitute no actual reserve, but
in their own vaults. The statement warns
that if the banking institutions have to
intervene because foreign securities are
offered faster than they can be absorbed
by investors, an element will be intro
duced into the situation which, if not kept
under control will tend toward instability
and ultimate injury to the economic devel
opment of the country.
