REPORT INDICATES
ENGRAVING BUREAU

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE re-
port of the special treasury commit
tee which made an inventory of the
supplies and equipment of the bureau
of engraving and printing following
the recent reorganization of bureaus
personnel completed today, is under
stood to be substantial vindication
of the declaration by treasury off,
Gals that no material output of lille
gal bond, note or stamp issues had
taken place within recent years.
The report, which is expected to
go to Secretary Mellon this after
noon, will record, however, that a
discrepancy of some fifty sheets was
found when check was made of
the special paper used in the bureau
for printing of bonds and notes.
Since the discrepancy occurred
within the period covered by the last
four years or operation of the bu-
reau and was not confined to any
one section of the institution, officials
held that the missing material would
not have been sufficient, even if d.
Verted to Illegal purposes, to have
given foundation to the charges that
the country has been FLOODED with
duplicated bonds"

The next dose Of calomel you take

Take a spoonful and if it doesn't

Don't take calomel! It can not be
