DEVISING MEANS TO MEET
GOVERNMENT EXPENSES
Secretary McAdoo, With Federal Re-
serve Board, Considering Tempo
rary Plans for Balance of Year.

Secretary McAdoo has taken up, with
the cooperation of the federal reserve
board, a program of temporary finance
to meet the running expenses of the
government from now to the end of
the fiscal year. Between $4,000, 900
and s200.00O,000 will be needed
The issuance of temporary certificates
of Indebtedness to be redeemed July l
is under consideration. 1t is expected
that federal reserve banks will handle
the issue of temporary certificates. but
will not subscribe to them. The re-
serve banks already hold S5O,ODO,0 900
of certificates. issued April l and ma
turing July 1 and bearing interest at
the rate of 2 per cent a year. The is
sue now planned probably will bear
interest at the rate of 24a per cent.
Under the law authorizing them,
passed by the last Congress, the Treas
ury Department may pay up to per
cent interest.
The issue probably will be taken
wholly by financial institutions 1t is
unrelated to the war finance bill au-
thorizing the issue of $1,000, 100000 in
will be used to meet ordinary and
emergency calls upon the Treasury
while. the government is collecting the
bulk of its annual revenue for the
current year.
Federal reserve banks were today re-
quested to obtain information as to
the amount of certificates each could
dispose of quickly and to forward a
report of the total to the board here

Several Married Since Call.

OF these men there were several who
had married since the call into active
service, it is stated, and then obtained
their discharge on the ground that
they had a wife to support. They will
not be affected by the order issued by
the War Department yesterday, as
their discharge was made in accord
ance with previous order of the de-
partment. one that provided that men
having dependents should be released
from the service.
fhe order will affect one or two
members of the 1st Separate Battalion.
n. G. d. c. Maj. James E. Walker said
today that more than 100 members of
the battalion have applied for dis
charge under the dependent relative
rule, and the papers in their cases
probably will go to the War Depart
ment this afternoon. OF these appli-
cants for discharge there are one or
two men who have married since being
called into service.
Maj. Walker explained that the dis
charge of members of his battalion has
been delayed somewhat by reason of
the investigation which he has been
called upon to make in each case. With
the battalion scattered at various
points throughout the District doing
guard work. he has been handicapped
somewhat.

since the original order was issued
with inquiries and protests from both
officers and men of the National Guard,
many of whom have been discharged
against their wishes because they were
married men. A supplementary state
ment of policy was necessary, as in
numerous cases National Guard regi-

ETERNAL
FEMININE
QUESTIONS

How can drive away these dis
figuring wrinkles-how can | make
my skin smooth and soft-how can
| get rid of the sallowness and dry
ness OF my skin and bring back
the fresh, youthful color?"
Women everywhere, everyday
are asking themselves these ques-
tions, and the best answer we can
give is to advise them to go to
ODonnell's Drug Store or Peoples
Drug Stores, or any hrst-class
dealer. at once, get bottle of Usit
and apply it regularly at night be-
fore retiring, for short time. The
results, from the use of this pure
nut oil, liquid preparation, are
really wonderful. 1t feeds and
nourishes the skin so that wrinkles
quickly disappear, the skin be-
comes soft and smooth, plumpness
is restored and youthful color and
freshness return. And some of the
nice as well as the important fea-
lures OF the Usit treatment are
that it is a clean, delicately per-
fumed liquid, and is guaranteed
not to cause the slightest hair
growth. You will be delighted with
Usit and if your skin needs atten-
ton get bottle and begin its APP
plication at once. Freckles, black
heads and many forms of eczema
yield to this treatment-Adver-
