Banking Strain May
Last Several Days

The strain on the banking machinery
in connection with tax payments will
not be lifted, in the opinion of bankers,
for three days. Although many an
ticipated the "deadline" by several
days, most large tax payers waited
until yesterday in order to avoid the
loss OF interest.
1t was said at the Federal Reserve
Bank late yesterday that $234,0O0, 900
OF Treasury certificates of indebted
ness maturing yesterday were re-
deemed in cash. Another $4,000 900
was used by holders to buy the new
one year AZ per cent tax certificates
which tho Treasury is now offering.
Approximately $34O.O00oo0 of the is
sues maturing yesterday were origi-
nally placed in this district. Certifi-
Gates outstanding all over the country
which matured yesterday were esti-
mated at $s47 900, 900.

HELPS TO CONSOLE INSANE
Association With Others Of Unbalanced
Mind Said to Have Tendency to
Benefit Them.

There is a tendency for many peO-
pie to believe that when an insane per
son is put with other insane people.
the contact disturbs their minds, says
the New York Medical Journal. On
the contrary, as a rule the insane are
benefited by this association. The in
sane grow impatient and unsettled
when they are constantly associated
with those who are rational, because,
irrational themselves, the constant dis
agreements irritate them.
On the other hand, when the in
sane are brought In contact with those
who are more irrational than them
selves they derive some consolation
from the fact, for even for them con-
tentment Is the feeling that things
might be worse. They are often slim
ulated by the example Of the irration-
atty Of those around them to realize
their decisions and to use their own
reasoning powers to a better advan.
tege.

Q young man who practiced medicine
in . rural district became famous and
was called in consultation in many
towns and cities because of his sue
cess in the treatment of disease. This
was DR.. Pierce who afterward moved
to Buffalo, N. Y. He made up his
mind to place some of bis medicines
before the public, and he put up
what he called his wFavorite Pre-
scription," and placed it with the
druggists in every state In the Union.
For fifty gears DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription has sold more largely
throughout the United States than
any other medicine of like character.
It's the testimony of thousands Of
women that it has benefited or en-.

Tree Planting.

The government is making an earn
est effort to induce many of the states
to plant trees on q wholesale scale
and in some measure restore their
original wealth. There are thousands
of acres lying idle, even In such pOpu-
lous states as New York and Pennsyl-
vania which can be made to yield mil
lions Of dollars every year II planted
with trees. 1t is pointed out that al
though the Eastern states once pos

their own use they must now import
lumber from the Pacific coast, of
course, at great expense.-Boys' Life.

In its monthly review Of business con-

Although the readjustment process
has been marked by uncertainty and
some suspension Of activity. the board
described the economic and business
situation as a whole as one showing
''much inherent strength and an ability
to attain position of relative stability
through an orderly transition" 1t
argued that the necessary changes In
the direction of normal conditions
would be accomplished without great
disturbance unless unforeseen factors
entered into the process.
"Price revisions In textile lines and
in other branches of wearing apparel,

dities." said the board. "have been the

serves have held their own during the
month and there has been a steady
Improvement In the liquidity Of paper.
"Iabor Is less fully employed. Not

While the retail trade reported q
moderate increase" In net sales as
compared with last fall, the usual foil
activity and buying was said to be not

some Of this condition to unreasonable
weather.
Reports from almost all sections in
