Bank of England Opens
New War Loan Annex

London, Jan. II. The Bank of
England opened it's new war loan an
next at S.30 O'Clock this morning. The
building which is five-story structure
a stones throw from the bank, has
been leased at an annual rental of 30,-
600 pounds sterling. 1t will be entire
ly devoted to caring for war loan busl-
ness.
A long line of bank clerks and busi-
nessmen pushed through the doorways
throughout the morning, obtaining
huge bundles of prospectuses for dis
tribution among clients and friends.
The first man in line was an East Side
costermonger with a push cart which
he loaded with prospectuses and then
trundled it eastward, where he dis
tributed the documents among the
prosperous pushcart merchants on the
East Side streets The first actual
scene to the loan was from an insur-
ance company, enclosing a check for
100000. A large number of smaller
subscriptions flowed in during the
morning.

AN UNDIGESTED DINNER

Worse than badly cooked dinner is
dinner that you can't digest. Doyou
know what it is to turn away from the
best food, ill-humored and without APP
petite, though you know that it is dinner
time and that you need food to sustain
you? This is natures way of telling
you that your digestion is out of order.
Your stomach is not in a fit state to
absorb food if you eat it, or your blood
able to carry the necessary nourishment
to your nerves, brain and muscles.
First of all, put off eating until you are
hungry. II you eat when you are not
hungry you can't digest the food.
To put your blood in the right state
to derive good from your food, take DR..
Williams Pink Pills. Without any
purgative or weakening effect they
purify your blood and enrich it, sol that
you not only have an excellent appetite
for food, but are able to digest it COM
fortably and get benefit from it.
So many dyspeptics have been helped
by this simple treatment that every suf-
ferer from stomach trouble should try it.
A diet book, "What to Eat and How
to Eat" will be sent free on request by
the DIR. Williams Medicine Co., Schen-
ectady, N. Y. Your own druggist sells

be sent by mail, postpaid, on receipt of

price indefinitely.

men from all parts of Cumberland and

suits in loss to them because of the
high prices of feed and other increases
in the cost of maintaining dairy on
a farm.
A reduction was promised for the
summer months, but the producers said
that at present they could not tell
whether the price will be sixteen or
eighteen cents a gallon. Ten new men,
