Toxic.

In circular letter to the savings
banks and trust companies of the state
Bank Commissioner Frank c. Williams
says that there Is no occasion for un-
easiness on account Of the large with
drawalS which have been made and will
be made on account Of Liberty Loan in
vcstments. Mr.. Williams does not be-
lieve that the withdrawal Of savings
deposits viii be large enough to en-
harrass the banks. Furthermore. he
says he has assurances from correspond
ing banks in other states that they will
ito everything possible to accommodate
their Vermont customers either by re
discounting commercial paper for them
or by making loans on such security as
the banks desire to offer. Commissioner
Williams urges all state banks to organ
lie campaigns for the sale of Liberty
bonds on the iHstallment plan, beIiev-
ing that this course VIII relieve the
banks from any possible embarrassment

likewise viii produce a now crop OF
savings deposito-s. 1.-The people OF
the state apparently are not feeling
amy embarrassment for lack Of in

/ there ever was a time when people could
and ought to save a certain portion
OF their incomes, their salaries anG
their wages it is right now. In this
connection it is interesting to note that
savings deposits in Vermont banks Sept
I2J were 1l.475, 265.09 less than ON Junt

the decrease is largely accounted 70
Iby the usual Withdrawals from July t,

"oh, Dear; Oh, Dear" Laughed Toxic.

Toxic. Il had good exercise after they
had left. Didn't you feel ill.,"
Il didn't get quite as many as you
did said Jody But wasn't it funny
To see the children? 1t first they want
ed to throw the peanuts into the cage.
We looked so big that we frightened
them-so they said. But the keeper
told them not to mind US And then
they began to give Us the peanuts,
which we took into our trunks and up
to our mouths. They thought it was so
funny"
Il wonder how they thought we fed
ourselves" asked Toxic.
Tin sure l don't know" said J0dy
Il found out a splendid trick"
''What was it," asked Toxic.
Il held several in my trunk at the
same time when they were giving them
to me quickly That was so l wouldn't
miss any while I was getting my trunk
up to my mouth
"Oh, dear; oh, dear" laughed Toxic
''Why are you laughing?" asked
Jody.
Because" said Toxic, that is an old
trick that has been known by ele-
plants for ever and ever so long. As
long as children have been children
and peanuts have been peanuts. and
elephants have been elephants"
That's certainly long time
agreed Jody.
You Just thought it as a matter of
course, because its your nature-the
nature of every elephant"
1T shows / am growing up" said
Jody. And I like to grow up"
Il think the children had an idea
you were grown up enough" said Toxic.
"Oh. yes" said Jody 'in size But
| like to be old in years too"
But it was night time and they were
tired. They all began to lie down. and
soon they were sound asleep.
The next morning more children
came to look at them, and again they
brought peanuts which they put in the
end Of the trunks Of the elephants and
watched them carried up to their
mouths.
Now the keeper thought it would be
nice for the elephants to show off their
| tricks. First Jody made very hand
some bows TO the children, who laughed
hard
Next Toxic carried the keeper on his
back ard up on his head. Then he
Ief him down again. They both said
their prayers and put their trunks
ar"H:.d the keeper. And they let the

Keeper lie down underneath them in
such way that their big bodies did
not touch him.
At the end of it all they were given
water and hay for a reward and q fine
cool bath. They had enjoyed the day
so much because it had been very
warm, and the elephants love the heat.
In summer they take as many baths
rs they can. for in the winter they
hate to battle ana are given oil rubS
TO keep their skin from cracking.
And when the day was over and
again it was time for Jody and Toxic
to go to bed. Jody said what a glori-
Gus day this has been-hot. full of
peanuts, children, baths" And Toxic
agreed that they had had the finest
time in many Il day, They both de-
cided, too, that doing tricks for chill
dren was such fun, for children loved
them SOL

CaIomel loses you day! You

crashes into sour bile like dynamite,
cramping and sickening you. Calo-

When you feel bilious, sluggish,
constipated and alF knocked out and
believe YOU need a. dose of dangerous
calomel Just remepsber that your
druggist sells fow so cents large
bottle Of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is entirely vegetable and pleasant to
take and is q perfect substitute for
calomel. 1t is guaranteed to start
your liver without stirring you IN

Don't take, calomel! 1t makes you
