At this time of the year people feel
weak, tired, listless, their blood is thin,
they have lived indoors and perhaps
expended all their mental and bodily
energy and they want to know how to
renew their energy and stamina, over
come headaches and backaches, have
clear ewes, a smooth, ruddy skin, and
feel the exhilaration of real good health
tingling thru their body. Good, pure,
rich, red blood is the best insurance
against ills of all kinds. Almost all
diseases come from impure and Impov-
erished blood. 1t Is to be noticed IN the
pale or pimply face, the tired, haggard
appearance or the listless manner.

MANY GOLD COINS ABRADED
Are Often Found by Banks to Be Be.
low Weight Fixed by the United
States Treasury Department.

Gold coin in circulation loses
weight more rapidly than most people
realize, and it is said that a great
amount of the gold in circulation on
this coast is abraded below the limit
Of tolerance at which the United
States treasury will receive it, says
The San Francisco Chronicle. A good
deal Of this lightweight money is ac-
cepted by the banks, as is discovered
whenever a national bank makes a
gold payment to the Federal Reserve
bank. Probably the banks have now
become educated, but when the first
payments were made to the reserve
banks it was found that considerable
gold which passed current among
banks would not be received by the
reserve banks at face value.
1t is safe to assume that all gold
coin received by banks is sorted, the
perfect coins being held in the vaults
and the worn pieces paid out over the
counter so that the ultimate loss which
Is inevitable is borne by the last indi.
vidual holder.
Congress is now asked by the treas.
ury department for authority to re.
ceive for limited period all gold coin
at it's face value. That which is
abraded will then be recoined and the
integrity of the circulation restored.
