Government Appeals to E4oli-
day Shoppers to Give Sc
curities as Presents

Governor John U. Calkins of the
Federal Reserve Bank, which is the
financial agent of the United States
Government in the Twelfth Federal
Reserve District. has written a letter
to every bank and trust company in
the district calling upon them to use
every means Within their power to
induce the people to buy War Savings
Stamps and Treasury Savings Certifi
Gates for Christmas presents this year.
1t is the hope of the Governor that
the people of the Twelfth District, in
stead Of spending their money for lux
uries to be used as Christmas presents,
war debt Of tNenty-six billions of dol
lars by sending War Savings Stamps
and Treasury Savings Certificates as
gifts to their friends and loved ones.
Demand for Waf Savings Stamps
and Treasury Savings Certificates, the
latter III denominations Of 500 and
$1,000, set III lnst month. The Federal
Reserve Bank shipped $4,000 worth
Of Treasury Savings Certificates To
eighteen banks on November 90 this
being the largest days shipment since
the close of the war. The Government
anticipates in the light of the demand
Of these eighteen banks for these Sc
curities to meet the holiday trade, that
the setentctil hundred banks in the
district will purchase more than a
quarter of a million dollars worth of
| the Governments paper. Increased
call for War Savings Stamps and
! Treasury Savings Certificates. and
even Thrift Stamps has come in from
all postoffices in the west in order
that postmasters may have on hand
sufficient supplies to meet the public
, demand.
| The Governments holiday slogan
"Give War Savings Stamp or a
! Treasury Savings Certificate for Christ
mas is elaborated in Governor Calk-
ms letter, which follows:
The Christmas holidays are almost
upon us. Everything points to a
tremendous outlay of money in the
purchase of holiday gifts, the greater
! portion of which think l am safe in
saying will be Injuries. The present
situation demands not that more
money be spent in the purchase of lux
uries, but that we curtail as much as
possible, with the consequent beneficial
/ contraction of credit.
Therefore. l appeal to you as fell
low banker to do everything within
your power to stimulate the purchase
and giving of War Savings Stamps and
Treasury Savings Certificates as Christ
mas presents in place of the usual
needless and expensive gifts. 1t seems
to me that the responsibility of leading
mems minds along the ways of thrift
and simple living rests to a great ex
tent upon the bankers of the country
and in asking you to push the sales Of
Treasury securities during the Christ
mas holidays, AIN asking you only to
take advantage of an opportunity te
meet this responsibility"
In addition, Christmas posters car
rying an appeal to give War Saving:
Stamps and Treasury Savings Certifi
Gates for Christmas presents will BIZ
distributed throughout the Twelfth
Federal Reserve District, and all banks
have been asked to include similar
appeal in their advertising.

Make 1t Thrift Christmas
United States Asks
Governors.

Proclamations calling upon the
people to give War Savings Stamps
and Treasury Savings Certificates
rs Christmas presents have been
aske, Of the governors OF all the
states in the Twelfth Federal Re-
serve District and mayors OF the
larger cities by Governor John U.
Calkins of the San Francisco Fed
eral Reserve Bank. Not only has
the Governor appealed to state eX-
ecutives and mayors but similar ap-
peals have gone to clergymen
throughout the district. These
measures will be supplemented by
vigorous campaign i'll many other
ways to bring about wide purchases
OF Government securities as holiday
gifts.
Governor Calkins said:
Economists are agreed that the
present eXorbitant level of prices
that constitute not only an eco
monte but a social menace is caused
10 great extent by spending
spree being INDUCED in by the
people. Indulgence in luxuries,
which, of course, causes increases
IN the necessities of life, has
raised prices generally to such I'M
heard of heights that Christmas
buying this year promises a dan
Serous climax. We, therefore, ap-
peal TO YOU to call upon the people
OF your state to forego the Civ
ing OF the usual Christmas gifts
this year and instead give Sc
curitles of the United States
Government, such as Thrift and
War Savings Stamps, Treasury
Savings Certificates and Liberty
Bonds. There could be no more
timely effort at sterilization of
prices and production than such
action upon your part and the part
OF the people, majority of whom,
am sure, would answer your
call"

San Francisco Judges to Make
Guilty Choose Between
Fines and Investment

Instead of forcing persons guilty of
minor transgressions of the law to pay
fines. in future Police and Superior
Court Judges OF San Francisco, as a
corrective measure tending to charac-
ter building, will give Offenders ap-
pearing before them an alternative of
helping themselves by investing in
United States War Savings Stamps.
Il shall be glad" said Judge 7. /.
Fitzpatrick, Presiding Judge of the
Police Court, ito assist in the move
ment in this direction as far as l can,
under the provisions of the charter Of
this city and county. upon the thesis
| that thrifty man is better citizen
and that many OF our economic ills
and much OF our present day social
unrest are due directly to thriftless-
ness"
The policy agreed to by the San
Francisco judges is a move to pro-
mote better citizenship among those
persons coming before them upon mis-
demeanor charges. Filming them
while serving as corrective meas.
ure. lowers the self supporting ability
OF DEFENDANTS, whereas compelling
them to purchase interest earning Sc
curities of the United States Govern
ment, i'll the judges belief, will give
them start toward building up a
bank account, and, proportionatelv. a
feeling of responsible citizenship. The
only condition attached to the alter
| 81 H..
stead of paying TIE fine will be that
the defendants must held the securi.
ties until maturity.

Auto-intoxication can be best
ascribed to our own neglect or
carelessness. When the organs fail
in the discharge of their duties,
the putrefactive germs set in and
generate toxins-actual poisons,
which fill ones own body.
Sleepiness after meals, flushing
of the face, extreme lassitude, bill
iousness, dizziness, sick headache,
acidity of the stomach, heartburn,
offensive breath, anemia, loss Of
weight and muscular power, de-
crease of vitality or lowering of
resistance to infectious diseases,
disturbance of the eye, dyspepsia,
indigestion, gastritis, many forms
of catarrh, asthma, ear affecti ,ns
and allied ailments result from

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp.Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one Of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies in
an interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is SO
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Bnghamton, N. Y, for .

Paris.-It's beginning to look as If
English will be the world language
of the future-with French as close
second choice and with German run
ming poor third.
This discussion of q world Ian
guage" which is occupying consider
able attention around Paris, reveals
among other things n strange chapter
Of German duplicity and trickery. 1t
now seems certain that the Germans,
knowing the German language was in
adequate as world tongue, tried their
best to get the world to think favora-
bly, of certain "cooked-up" languages
made to order things as 1t were, in or
der to prevent French or English from
being considered as the legitimate
world languages.
These artificial tongues, such Gs Es-
peranto, which was probably the best
known to them, in America at least,
were fairly numerous and each one
was given some sort of an odd name.
They were called Esperanto, lido, Novo-
Latin and several other queer-sound-
ing names. Naturally enough there were
n few people in nearly every country
that took up these tongues and learn
ed them. But at best the languages
were, and are fads, and are unequal
to the great task assigned them-the
task Of becoming world tongue.

Woman Gets Money Back.

Marinette, Wis.-Seventeen years
ago, at a band concert in this city,
MISS Adeline Pratt, deputy register of
deeds, lost a pocketbook with several
dollars and a keepsake knife in it. She
was surprised recently on going to
the post office to receive a packet con-
tanning the knife and money without
any explanation. Whether she lost the
pocketbook or 1t was stolen from her
she does not know, but efforts to re-
cover 1t by advertising at the time
failed.
