Liberty 315s Well Above Par

Liberty 31as performed their daily
stunt of smashing records yesterday,
and established 1O2O6 as the new high
selling price for the bond. The securi-
ties opened at 101.1S and closed at
10202. Thus, because of the attrac-
ton to investors of the tax exempt
feature, holders of the safest invest
ment in the world" had the satisfacr
tion of knowing that their patriotic
purchase was not only regularly pay
ing interest, but also selling in the
open market for more than two dol
lars above the subscription price.
There is no indication that the up
ward movement of the bonds has
reached a climax. Out of an original
issue of S2,O0O,0OO, 900 only 81 ,434 ,000,-
600 are now outstanding. The others
have been converted into and 4A
per cent bonds, and, though retaining
their maturity dates, the convertibles
have only the qualified exemption
privileges of the bonds of the sec
ond and third issues.
Liberty Bond Payments
Partial payment purchasers of Lib
erty bonds of the third issue are
asked by Federal Reserve Bank Of
ficials to bear certain facts in mind
in paying off their instalments before
they are due. Though all subsequent
coupons on the bonds cover six months
interest periods, the initial coupon
runs only for four months. This ad-
justment was made to make the inter-
est payments due on September Is
and March Is, dates which do not
conflict with interest dates of the
first and second loan. Failure to real
ize that the first coupon only covered
TOUR months period apparently
has led to confusion among subscrib-
crs who anticipated the later install
ments, and sought to receive inter
est for the period between the time
they paid off the last instalment and
September Is. In such cases the Lib
erty Loan Association tears off the
first interest coupon, and gives the
subscriber a check for the interest
due him. For convenience in hand
ling the some 100000 coupon book
subscriptions, interest allowances are
figured by the month instead of the
day. A subscriber who. pays up in
full in August receives the same
amount of interest, no matter whet her
he does so early or late in the month.

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

Swiss francs, which have shown per-
sistent weakness for some time, yes
terday dropped from 406 units to the
dollar to 4.13 for checks and from 4.04

experts said no technical causes were
responsible for the movement, which
reflected the new world attitude as to
the future cause of the war. Repeated
Allied victories on the battle6elds Of

Mother Worried
Over Son, She Says
Mrs. Mclaughlin Tells How Tan
lac Restored Herself and Son
to Health-She Suffered Three
Years.

"Tanlac has benefited my family
more than any other medicine l ever
saw or heard Of" said Mrs Cora Nc
Laughlin, 1862 North Second street,
Birmingham, Ala, some time ago.
Il had been sick, run down and ner-
vous for three years, suffering from
indigestion and loss of appetite. / got
so bad that I couldn't sleep at night
for my trouble. My oldest son had
just got up from a spell of pneumonia
fever, and he stayed so weak that I
was worried over him and began to
think he couldn't get his health back
I'VE both started taking Tanlac, and
| begun to gain from the very first.
My appetite came back to me, and
found that I could eat anything I
wanted and enjoy it without suffer-
ing afterward. My son improved I'M
til he hardly looked like the same per-
son. / sure am glad to recommend
Tanlac, for 1 have nothing but praise
for it after it has done so much for
u.s."
Tanlac is sold in Pensacola exclu-
sively by the Crystal Pharmacy.-Ads

Hot Water for
Sick Headaches
/ Tells why everyone should drink
hot water with phosphate
In Il before breakfast.

Headache Of any kind, is caused by
autointoxication-w means self
poisoning. Liver and bowel poisons
called toxins, sucked into the blood
through the lymph ducts, excite the
heart which pumps the blood so fast
that it congests in the smaller arteries
and veins Of the head producing VIC
lent, throbbing pain and distress, call
ed headache. You become nervous,
respondent, sick, feverish and miser-
able, your meals sour and almost nau-
seate you. Then you resort to acetan-
Hide, aspirin or the bromides which
temporarily relieve hut do not rid the
blood Of these irritating toxins.
A glass of hot water with a tea
spoonful Of limestone phosphate in it,
drank before breakfast for awhile,
will not only wash these poisons from
your system and cure you Of head
ache but will cleanse. purify and
freshen the entire alimentary canal
Ask your pharmacist for quarter
pound of limestone phosphate. It is
harmless as sugar, and
almost tasteless, except for a sourish
twinge which is not unpleasant
II you aren't feeling your best, if
tongue is coated or you wake up
with bad taste, foul breath or have
colds, indigestion, biliousness, consti-
patton or sour stomach, begin the
hot water cure to rid your
system Of toxins and poisons.
Results are quick and it is claimed
that those who continue to flush out
the stomach, liver and bowels every
morning never have any headache or
know a miserable moment.-Adv.

With daily attendance of more than Soo soldiers relatives or friends the convalescent home recently opened st Camp Shelby at Hattiesburg, Miss. is proving to be big feature of Red Cross activities, according to Harry T. How ard, director of the bureau of military relief, gulf division, A. R. c.
