NEW YORK OVERSUBSCRlBED
All Other Reserve Districts
Fall Under Estimates;
Closes Friday Noon.

WASHINGTON. June l3-Treas-
ury officials announced today that the
Liberty loan apparently was short
$si2,DO0.OOU Of fun subscription Tues
day night. Two and one half days be-
fore the closing of the books
Announcement was based on actual
returns forwarded by banks and trust

cOmPanied by the > per cent OF sub
scrlptions required Thousands OF
banks and trust companies have not
been heard from since the loan was
first offered except for statements
that they were working TO make the
big issue a success
Final Drive l. on.
A tremendous eleventh hour drive
thruOut the nation. officials hope. Will
bring the final count II dollars well
beyond the s. 600. 900. 600 mark. The
only tangible evidence on which to
base an estimate. however. are the
returns from the reserve banks as
of the close OF business last night.
These show total actual subscrip-
tons Of 1855 100000 distributed
among reserve districts as follows.
New York, S75s. 100000; Boston.
slGl.o00 000; Philadelphia. $4,000
600; Richmond S55.Q0V,OU0; Atlanta.
$2s 100000, Chicago. sis+.000. 900;
Cleveland, $4,000. 600; St Louis.

Kansas City. S5s,0OU,y0V. Dallas. S2s =
100000. san Francisco. s52.O0o.0O0.
New York Is the only district which
has returned subscriptions higher
than its minimum allotment Not
only has New York exceeded the mini
mum. IL has topped the maximum
$759.U00.000 by Ss,000O00
Where Shortage Occurs.
Here is the apparent shortage in
each reserve district based upon the
latest returns and the minimum al
lotments:
Boston. s7s.000.ooo or SO per cent;
Philadelphia s57.000.000. or more
than 10 per cent; Richmond. $4,000
900. or more than 8 per cent; At
lanta s32.0Og.O00. or more than 50
per cent, Chicago. S76.OOO.V0O. OF
more than 2s per cent; Cleveland.
S27OO0.O0O. or Is per cent: ST Louis.
$33.000.0O0. or more than 20 per cent;
Minneapolis. $4,000. O0O. or 37iz per
cent; Kansas City $4,000. 900. or ~
per cent; Dallas, $1,000. 600. or more
than q per cent. san Francisco. $sS.-
600 600. or nearly % per cent
Analysis Of these figures discloses
that outside Of New York the country
apparently had failed up to last night
by exactly 100000. 900 to take its
minimum allotment Of 81 10000 Of
the bOnds-the other 5000. 006. 900
minimum being allotted 10 New York
Thus while the New York district has
oversu hscribed its minimum allotment
by approximately % per cent the rest
Of the country AS whole apparently
has fallen 35 per cent under its mini
mum.
The closing hour Of noon Friday is
not to be extended, Notwithstanding
widespread rumors to the contrary.
The closing hour win be the standard
time Of the section OF the country in
which each reserve bank is located
and will apply to all banks in that re-
serve district.

You Must Siam D
Ii Out

Realize that Catarrh is dan
gerous. Face the truth square
~ that it can cause death-but
you can be relieved.
See what Mrs. Henry Waye,
R. F. D. No. l, Wentzville,
Mo, says about how she was
relieved of Catarrh through
the use of S. S. S.
Il an CAD 10 say that I
have never needed 10 take any
more medicine a. have never
bad srv return % the Catsrrh,
thanks 90 ; :. :. I highly rec.
ommend it,
1t is an undoubted fact that
the careless way in which SO
many sufferers from Catarrh
regard this troublesome dis
ease in its early stages is a
prominent reason for its aw-
full ravages. If they would
take hold of it when it is moth
ing more than supposed cold
in the head, permanent and
lasting relief would be a SIM
pie matter.
You must treat Catarrh SER
oiusly. Catarrh is not merely
an inflammation of the tissues
of the head and throat, as the
symptoms of ringing noises in
the ears, mucous dropping
back into the throat, continual
hawking, etc, would seem tc
indicate. 1t is a blood disease
it affects the entire circula.
ton.
Catarrh is due to the pres.
ence of Catarrh Germs in the
blood. The liver, kidneys and
bowels frequently become tor.
pid and dull in their action
and, instead of carrying of
the refuse and waste of the
body, leave it to ferment ir
the system. This is taken W
by the blood, and, through its
circulation, distributed to al
parts of the system. These

The Habit Of Taking Cold

With many people taking cold is
a habit. but fortunately one that is
easily broken. Take a cold sponge
bath every morning when you first
get out of bed-not ice cold, but a
temperature Of about 90 degrees F.
Also sleep with your window up. Do
this and you will seldom take cold.
When you do take cold take Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy and get
rid OF it as quickly as possible. OBJ
