The refusal of the Xatioual Surety Company of New York to pay over the $15,000 represented by the bond of the late cashier, Alviu Km nor, was ascribed as the principal cause. Mr. Horst frankly admitted he could not now name the day onSvhich the institution would be reo'pened. Arthur J.

TRADE PROSPECTS ARE ENCOURAGING Improvement in business since depres sion reached low tide several months ago has been gradual. Confidence has been restored and unless all signs fail, the country is scheduled for a boom al most unparalleled. In order to overcome the depression that attacks a person in poor health it is necessary that particular attention be 1 aid to the Stomach, Liver and Bowels. These organs are the controlling power in all matters pertaining to health and there is nothing will make you feel "so blue" and discouraged as to be without appetite—to be subject to spells of headache, indigestion, dyspepsia and biliousness—or to have constipated bowels. Nature never intended anyone to be in such a condition and the only way to improve matters is to give necessary aid promptly. This suggests a trial of Hos tetter's Stomach Bitters, because it has an established reputation as a tonic and appetizer, and will be found very help- I ful in any Stomach, Liver or Bowel ail-1 ment. It is well known as a real "first aid," j and for over 60 years has held a perma- J nent place in thousands of homes. You i will make no mistake in purchasing a bottle to-day. but be careful t» see that the Private Stamp over the neck is un- j broken. This is your protection against! imitations.—Adv. • .

What Could Be Done with the $2,000,000 Which the Full Crew Laws Arbitrarily Take From the Railroads Increased Railroad facilities, better service, greater safety and convenience, business expansion and the employment of a great number of men now idle would follow the repeal of the waste ful Pennsylvania and New Jersey Full Crew Laws. Facts —Not Theories $2,000,000 would buy 2000 steel coaches. It would pay for 80 locomotives. It would purchase 67,000 tons of rails. \ . It would return 5 per cent, op $40,000,000. It would block-signal 1000 miles of track. It would eliminate 65 grade crossings. It would pay for 2000 freight cars. It would build 200 new stations at SIO,OOO. • It would provide additional freight terminal facilities. It would buy 2,500,000 railroad ties. It would pay for 2,000,000 tons of coal. The iron and steel industry would be stimulated, furnish ing steel for new cars, rails, bridges, buildings, etc. Miners and coke oven operatives would get increased work as industry expanded. New construction would mean busy times for the Lehigh region cement plants and their workmen. Thousands of architects, contractors, building trades workers, electrical concerns and electricians, skilled mechanics, carpenters, miners, and day laborers would so get work. With these incontestible facts thus clearly set forth, the twenty-one railroads of Pennsylvania and New Jersey feel it their duty to place the fate of the Full Crew Laws in the hands of the people. They are convinced the people prefer that em ployment be given to thousands for whom there actually is work to knowing that $2,000,000 a year is being paid in mandatory wages for extra men for whom there exists no essential service to per form and whose presence, it has been conclusively shown, increases rather than decreases—the hazards of railroad operation.
