FOR CHRISTMAS
IS j. 5. APPEAL
Governor Calkins Urges Gov.
eminent Securities for Pres
ents Instead of Luxuries


Governor John u. Calkins ~ m.
san Francisco Federal Reserve Banl
nAs written . letter to all banks and
trust companies in the Twelfth Fed.
eral Reserve District urging them to
promote, wherever possible. the sale
OF War Savings Stamps and Treasury
savings Certificates for Christmas
presents this year.
The increased demand for thesa
government securities, the Treasury
savings Certificates being similar to
War Savings Stamps In denominations
OF Woo and $1,000, ia apparent from
the fact that the Federal Reserve
Bank supplied $4,000 worth of
Treasury Savings Certificates to eieh-
teen banks in the district on Noyem-
Der 20. which is the largest amount
sold IN one day since the close of the
war. On the face OF the demand OF
these eighteen banks and tho in.
creased call for the securities from
all postoffices throughout the Twelfth
Federal Reserve District, it would
Seem that the Governments holiday
slogan, Give a War Savings Stamp
or Treasury Savings Certificate for
Christmas is being followed out.
and the Government is hoping that by
giving War Savings Stamps and
Treasury Savings Certificates for
Christmas gifts the district will close
~ approximate it's War Savings quota
for the year.
A portion Of Governor Calkins' let
ter follows:
The Christmas holidays are al
most upon US. Everything points to |
tremendous outlay of money In the
purchase OF holiday gifts, the greater
portion of which l think am safe in
saying will be Injuries. The present
demands not that more
money be spent in the purchase OF
uxuries, but that we curtail as much
Is possible, with the consequent bene-
lclal contraction Of credit.
Therefore, I appeal to you as a
elbow banker to do Q, -rything within
our power to stimulate the purchase
nd giving OF War Savings Stamps
nd Treasury Savings Certificates as
christmas presents in place of the us
al needless and expensive gifts. It
GEMS to me that the responsibility of
sading mems minds along the ways
thrift and simple living rests to q
reat extent upon the bankers OF tho
Duntry and In asking Won tn nush
lie sales Of Treasury securities during
le Christmas holidays, am asking
on only to take advantage OF an op-
ortunity to meet this responsibility"
In addition, Christmas posters car
ing an appeal to give War Savings
amps and Treasury Savings Certifl-
ties for Christmas presents will be
attributed throughout the Twelfth !
ederal Reserve District, and all !.
anks have been asked to include q !
milar appeal in their advertising.

One of the reasons the striking
| shipyard workers in seven plants
around San Francisco bay have been
able to hold out for their demand of
| eight cents an hour increase is that
| collectively they own more than ST.
100000 worth of Liberty Bonds and
about 100000 in War Savings
Stamps. "The Liberty Bond and War
Savings Stamps holdings Of our men
have certainly stood us in good
stead" said Frank Miller, secretary
of the San Francisco Iron Trades
Council. when we win our demand
I am going to recommend that the
men save that eight cent an hour in
crease and invest 1t weekly with the
Government in War Savings Stamps.
They provide an ideal way for the
workingman to save"
C. A. Farnsworth, associate direc-
tor of the War Loan Organization for
the Twelfth Federal Reserve District,
said: Secretary Miller's figures on
the Liberty Bond holdings and their
Investment In War Savings are con-
sentative and there Is no doubt that
they have aided greatly in enabling
the men to support themselves while
on strike. The men can borrow the
face value of their Liberty Bonds
without sacrificing the bonds and
they can cash in their War Savings
Stamps"

Doctor Tells HOD to Detect
Harmful Effects of Tobacco
TRY THESE SIMPLE TESTS

New York: Doctor connor, former
ly of Johns Hopkins hospital, says:
Many men who smoke, chew or snuff
necessarily and who are seemingly
healthy are suffering from progressive
organic ailments. Thousands of them
would never have been afflicted had
1t not been for the use of tobacco, and
thousands would soon get well If they
would, only stop the use of tobacco.
The chief habit forming principle Of
tobacco is nicotine, deadly poison
which, when absorbed by the system
slowly affects the nerves, membranes,
tissues and vital organs OF the body.
The harmful effect of tobacco varies
and depends on circumstances. One
will be afflicted with general debil-'
ity, others with catarrh of the thront,
indigestion, constipation, extreme
nervousness, sleeplessness, loss OF
memory, lack OF will power. mental
confusion, etc. Others may suffer
from heart disease, bronchial trouble,
hardening of the arteries, tuberculosis,
blindness or even cancer or the COM
mon affliction known as tobacco heart.
II you use tobacco IN any form you
can easily detect the harmful effects
by making the following simple tests.
Read aloud one full page from a book.
II, in the course of reading your voice
becomes muffled, hoarse and indis-
tinct, and you must frequently clear
your throat. the chances are that your
throat is affected by catarrh and 1t
may be the beginning of more serious
trouble. Next, in the morning before
taking your usual smoke, walk UP

then stop. If you find that you are ous
of breath, your heart beat is forced,
trembling or irregular, you may be a
victim of functional or organic heart
trouble. If you feel that you mus,
smoke, chew or snuff to quiet your
nerves, you are slave TO the tobacco
habit, and are positively poisoning
yourself with the deadly drug, nico-
tine. In either case you have just two
alternatives-keep on with the self
poisoning process irrespective OF the
dangers and suffer the consequences,
or give up the habit and escape the
dangers. You can overcome the cray
ing and stop the habit in a very short
time by using the following inexpen-
siye formula. Go to any drug store and
ask for Nicotol tablets, take one tablet
after each meal, and in a comparative
ly short time you will have no desire
for tobacco, the craving will have left
you. With the nicotine poison out of
your system your general health will
quickly improve.
