New York bankers are considering
means and methods by which the situa-
tion may be relieved.
There has been some discussion
among them on the possibility and ad-
visability of securing an amendment to
the federal reserve act which would
make stock exchange collateral eligible
for rediscount at federal reserve banks.
In other words. have notes secured by
stocks Of railroads and other corpora
tions enjoy the same privilege that is
accorded TO commercial paper.
The federal reserve law bars this
class of securities; trust companies and
banks generally consider them the very
best collateral, for which there is an
open market at all times. and many of
the former will not accept other than
coilateral-secured paper. stocks. real
estate or available collateral.
While admitting that this class of
secured paper is, perhaps. not suitable
in normal times. bankers suggest ac-
tion in this direction during the period
poses.
The federal reserve system is holding
large amounts of idle gold, which it
will retain against all but actual i'm
portations. but this great credit foun-
dation might be brought into greater
play If bankers had the right kind of
paper for rediscount to present. 1t may
be that they still have plenty of paper
which they do not care to rediscount
at this time.

While there was a larger volume Of
trading on the Washington Stock Ex-
change today. the sales were not of
character to give any new phase to
market conditions
The real feature of the session was
the indisposition on the part of brokers
to make bids for the average utility
bonds, although asking prices were
about the same, but, in many cases,
there was a disposition to pass the call
on these securities.
Capital Traction stock was the active
feature Of the trading, il As shares in

was 30A to sos. Small lots of WASH

Did God
Make a
Mistake?

Many people, and doctors, believe
that God made a mistake when H&
made man with an appendix. But, did
He blunder? l think not. believe.
and know, it is a very necessary part
OF the body, and many Of the NJ. DIS in
the highest standing of the profession
believe the same, and some Of them say,
lit will not be long before the NJ. DIS
will be ashamed to operate for appen-
dicitis." How many thousands die from
operations for appendicitis? And, how
many are ever real well after the APP
pendix has been removed? We have
cured hundreds Of cases Of appendicitis
without medicine or operations, and we
have never lost a case. A few days
ago Miss TiIlie Magenton, Kindred. n.
D., called on us. She came to us about
six years ago with bad case OF ap-
pendicitis and we cured her in about a
week. She states that she has felt per-
fectly. well since then, and has never
had the least trouble with her appendix
since she took our treatment. Acute
appendicitis we usually cure in q
week; chronic cases may take a little
longer, but you run no risk Of your life
and your future health is not destroyed.
The expense of our treatment compar-
ed with an operation is not much. If
you have the appendicitis, the place to
go is to The Nelson Sanitarium. 405
