has received reports from inspector
generals on number of divisions pro-
nounced ready to go to France. but he
will not permit them TO depart until

Officers of the department comment.

urged that American troops be dis.

that additional organizations would
be peparcd for foreign service and
held ready to sail as soon as tonnage

HARDING URGES CHECK

Raising Interest to Lure De-
posits Declared Harmful
to National Financing

The competitive mCvemcnt among in
terror banks to obtain dcmrnd deposits
by increasing interest rates Is dis

Of the Federal Reserve Board, who has
'elegraphed Reserve banks to use their
influence with banks tn check this prac-
tice pending action by the New York
Clearing House AsSC citation to restrict
higher interest rates, which have drawn
many deposits there.
Results will be harmful both to ma
tional financing and TO the banking busi-
ness. Governor Harding said, unless
the tendency to lure new checking ac-
counts by better rates Is Immediately
eliminated.
Another step taken hy the Federal
Reserve Board was tho calling Of a
conference of governors Of Federal r..

these accounts TO New York state banks

by all who know them.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets act gently
but firmly on the bowels and liver.
stimulating them to natural action,
clearing the blood and gently purifying
the entire system. They do that which
dangerous calomel does without any
of the bad after effects.
All the benefits of nasty, sickening,
gripping cathartics are derived from Dr..

pain or any disagreeable effects.
DR.. r. M. Edwards discovered the
formula after seventeen years of prac'
tice among patients afflicted with
bowel and liver complaint with the
attendant bad breath.

a vegetable compound mixed with olive
oil; you will know them by their olive
