Life- A Gigantic Neptune. At Monterossn. near Spezla, Italy, there Is an architectural curiosity, gigantic figure of Neptune, construct ed of cement and used to support the extreme end of n terrace for n seaside villa. The bouse Is the Villa Tastine, says the Wide World Magazine, nnd the statue Is the work of the Signer Arrige Mlnerlil, n talented sculptor of Hume. The small promontory on which the villa Is built presented many (1 Mi dlines to the architect, but he finally succeeded in building there n very commodious and comfortable villa. Tho statue Is wonderfully lifelike and Is eleven meters in height. The body, which, like tho head. Is built of re enforced cement. Is hollow nnd con tains u spiral staircase. Considering the nature of the material with which Signor Mlnerbl had to work, he Is to be congratulated on the result of bis labors. COMMERCIAL PAPER SECURITY Secretary of Treasury's Order Meant That Government Will Eitabliah Precedent In Jti Financial Policy. Twenty-flye to fifty million dollar! of government funds will be deposited In national banks of the south and west at once by Secretary McAdoo to facilitate the movement of crops. Federal, state and municipal bondi and prime commercial paper will bt accepted as security for the money. upon which the bunks will pay 2 pel cent Interest. The motive of Secretary McAdoo In establishing this new policy Is to anticipate the money stringency ii the late summer and fall, which In variably accompanies the marketing and movement of crops, especially when the crops are unusually large ai the harvest now beginning forecasts. He Intends to take time by the fore lock and prevent or minimize tho usual tightness of money. In a statement the secretary made the significant announcement that gov ernment bonds would be accepted at par as security for the new deposits and that the additional money would be placed only with banks which have taken out at least 40 per cent of their authorized circulation. The United States 2 per cent bonds, serving as security for most of the nntional bank circulation, have been depressed recently to a new low mar ket record, 95, in the last few days. The secretary's willingness to accept these bonds at par as security for the 25 to 50 millions of promised deposits and the Inducement to the national banks to increase their circulation up to the 40 per cent limit Is expected to help in restoring the parity of the depressed 2s by creating a new mar ket for them. For the first time in history the government will accept prime conv mercial paper as security for deposits. This privilege will be granted, an nounced the secretary. In order to make these special deposits available to the hRiiks on securities readily within their reach. "The commercial paper submitted," Mr. McAdoo added, "shall first be passed upon and approved by tho clearing house committees of the cities in which the banks offering such paper may be located. All com mercial paper and bonds must finally be passed upon and accepted by the secretary." Approved commercial paper will bo accepted as security for the deposits at 65 per rent of its face value, and high class state, municipal and other bonds, exclusive of government bonds, at 75 per cent of their market value. The additional deposits will he placed with the national banks in the two or three principal cities In each of the states where harvesting is in progress and where the demand for money for moving the crops most con veniently can be met. The secretary said it would not be practicable to scatter the deposits among the smaller cities, especially in view of the char acter of securities necessary. The banks will be required to re turn the money to the public treasury when the crops have been moved. The present suggestion Is, Mr. McAdoo said, that 15 per cent be repaid In December, 30 per cent in January, 30 per cent in February and 25 per cent next March. "Steps are being taken to carry out the plan," the secretary added, "so that the funds may be promptly available for the movement of tho crops."

Lemonade - made with soUu water, seltzer or carbonic water Is one of the most perfect germicides that can be taken into the body, according to the Loudon Lancet "It hits long been known that water charged with carbonic acid gas loses after awhile what bacteriological ac tivities it possessed," says that au thoritative medical paper.
