STRENGTHLESS
SEEMED DYING
So Weak She Could Hardly
Move, Says Indiana Lady.
One Bottle of Cardui Put
Her on the Road to
Recovery
Tangier, Ind.—" Four years ago
this summer I was sick in bed,”
writes Mrs. Lillie McElwee, of this
place. "I had been under the doc
tor’s care for five weeks. . . I was
pretty bad, and I was just as nerv
ous as I could be. . . I could not
sleep at night until 10 or 12 o’clock
When I would doze off and wake up
I would be all of a tremble with
nervousness.
"The doctor called my trouble ca
tarrlj of the ... It gave me such
pain«[ that at each one it would seem
that I could not bear another one.
Then I would chill .. . the pains
would just seein to shake me all over,
and the next day I would be so weak
I could hardly move. I would be so
utterly strengthless it would
seem if I were dying!
"After one of my bad spells . . .
and 1 had almost died, I picked up
the Home Treatment Book and de
cided to try Cardui. Before I had
taken a whole bottle, I could sleep at
night. . . I don’t remember just how
long, but in a short time I war up
and helping with the work. . . ”

HARDING URGES
MORE ECONOMY
TO CUT H. C. L.
WASHINGTON, May 25.—Econ
omy in individual expenditures, re
duction of non-essential loans by
-banks, increased production and im
proved transportation are needed to
reduce the cost of living and de
flate credits, Governor Harding of
- the Federal Reserve board declared
today in responding to a senate reso
lution of inqury.
The board is not prepared to de
fine what are essential and non
esential loans, Governor Harding
stated. This, he said, is a problem
of local bankers familiar with local
needs.
Governor Harding’s letter, pre
sented to the senate today by Vice
President Marshall, came in response
to the resolution of Senator Mc-
Cormick, Republican, Illinois, adopt
ed recently, requesting information
regarding what steps the board con
templated “to meet the existing in
flation of currency and credits and
consequent high prices” and what
measures were proposed to mobilize
credits for movement of the 1920
crop.
Reviewing the board’s warnings to
federal reserve members against ex
tending credits and its increase of
discount rates, Governor Harding
said the board for months "has
recognized that the expansion ot
bank credits . . . was proceeding
at a rate not warranted by the pro
duction and consumption of goods.
The discount rate advances, Gov
ernor Harding said, have checked
credit transactions somewhat, but
"have not been entirely effective in
bringing about the reduction in loans
desired and which might normally
have been expected during the early
months of the year.”
Loans Have Increased
"On the contrary,” he said, “com
mercial loans have steadily increas
ed. Thus it appears that the pub
lic has anticipated demands for
banking credit which are usually
made later on in the year.
“The average reserves of Federal
Reserve Banks are now a little over
42 1-2 per cent,” he added. "as
against 45 per cent at the beginning
of the year and about 51 per cent
twelve months ago.”
Governor Harding told of the re
cent conference here of the Federal
reserve advisory council and its rec
ommendations for curtailment of
credits together with the opinion
that congestion of transportation
facilities is tying up great quanti
ties of foodstuffs.
"The board is convinced,” Gov
ernor Harding continued, "that if the
unsold portions of last year’s crops
can be brought to market before the
new crop matures, the liquidation of
credits which are now tied up in
carrying the old crops will be suf
ficient to offset to a considerable
degree the credit demands ... in
moving the crop of 1920.”
In the efforts to reduce non-es
sential loans, Governor Harding said
banks were cautioned against drastic
curtailments and advised to seek
gradual liquidation, and to grant
loans stimulating essential produc
tion.
“The problem of the banking sys
tem of the country,” he continued. “Is
to check further expansion and to
bring about a normal and healthy
liquidation without curtailing es
sential production and without
shock to industry and legitimate
commerce. \
“It is the view of the board that
while the federal reserve banks may
properly undertake in their trans
actions' with member banks to dis
criminate between essential and non
essential loans, nevertheless that
discrimination might much better be
made at the source by the member
banks themselves.”
On Traffic Congestion
Regarding congestion of merchan
i dise and traffic, Governor Harding
said:
"It is true that under existing
conditions the volume of credit re
quired in any transaction is much
greater than was the case in pre
war times; but it is also true that
the resources, of the member an.i
non-member banks would .be ample
to take care of the essential busi
' neSs of the Country and to a large
extent of non-essentials as well if
'there were a freer flow of goods and
Credit. If ‘frozen loans’ weredjquir
-fied and if commodities which ate
"held back either for speculative pur
poses or because of lack of transpor
tation facilities should go to the
markets, and if large stock of mer
chandise should be reduced, the re
sultant release of credit would have
almost beneficial effect upon the
general situation. In the meantlm®
everything must be done to expedite
the release of these credits and tt>
restrict non-essential credits in fu
ture.
“The board will not hestitate, so
far as may be necessary, to bring
to bear all its statutory powers in
regulating the volume of credit.
"Much will depend upon the res
toration of the normal efficiency of
railroad and steamship lines. _ If
adequate transportation facilities
can be provided the board sees no
occasion for apprehension in con
nection With the movement of crops
now being grown.”

How Various Coins Were Named;
Few Fully Understand the Origin
One of the most distinguished ele
ments in the present commercial dif
ficulty is that of money and exchange
and it is not surprising when consid
eration is given to the importance of
the medium of exchange and what
part it has to play in serving for
the transfer of commodities. The
word money was derived from mone
ta, one of the surnames of Juno, in
whose temple the Romans first made
coins. The word wint is supposed
to be a contraction of the word mone
ta through the Anglo-Saxon “mynet.”
When we read that sterling has
fallen in exchange value who knows
the Origin of the term? Yet it is
traced to the inhabitants of the Han
so Towns, known as Esterlings, who
were invited by King John, of Eng
land, to come to England and reform
the currency which had become very
corrupt. From that date good Eng
lish money was known as sterling.
The shilling is from the Anglo-
Saxon shilling, meaning a twentieth
so it takes twenty shillings to make
a pound.
The English farthing meant the
fourth of a penny and was actually
broken from a penny In olden days
when the pennies were indented with
a full cross so heavily that they
could be snapped into four. This
was a solution of making change, as
the primitive understood it.
The franc is only another way of
spelling the silver coin of the
Cordial Greetings
Are by
Presbyterian Bodies
M’KENZIE, Tenn., May 25.—For
the first time since the division arose
in the Cumberland Presbyterian
church oveT union with the Presby
terian church, U. S. A., the assembly
of the latter church in session at
Philadelphia and the Cumberland
Presbyterian general assembly, which
concludes its session here today,
have exchanged greetings. In re
sponse to greeting from the Pres
byterian general assembly, U. S. A.,
the assembly here has directed Dr.
D. W. Fooks, stated clerk, to send
the following response:
“In the spirit of our Lord and
Savior, we accept and return said
greetings and earnestly join in the
desire for the day when all bar
riers against a common fellowship
shall have been removed.”
The committee’s report of the re
sponse yesterday was greeted by
great applause. The vote adopting it
was practically unanimous and the
announcement of the vote was fol
lowed by the singing of the doxology.
The committee to which was re
ferred memorials relative to ordain
ing women as elders, deacons and
ministers reports that the proposi
tion which had been referred to the
presbyteries for a vote has been lost,
eighteen presbyteries out of seven
ty-two voting favorably and twenty
nine adversely. According to D. M.
McAnulty, chairman of the commit
tee on judiciary, the action does not
signify that the church is altogether
opposed to women participating 1n
these offices, but means that the
church is opposed to any change In
the verbiage of the constitution. Mrs.
W. M. Bennett, Fresno, Cal., has been
seated as a commissioner by this as

Woman Hides From
Husband 24 Years
LONDON. England, May 20.—A di
lapidated dwelling in the quaint lit
the village of Midhurst, Sussex surely
Will be known as the “House with
the Green Shutters.” Although a
woman lias occupied the house for
twenty-four years, very few of the
1,000 villagers knew she lived there.
She was almost as completely hidden
from the world as if she had dwelt
in a wilderness.
The secret was revealed only when
she died recently. Years and years
ago. when she was 30, she married
a man younger than herself. Soon
she regretted the step; suddenly she
disappeared. Undoubtedly her pur
pose in hiding herself was to de
prive her husband of any claim on
her money; which was her own.
So well did she seclude herself
that her husband believed her dead—
until she died. Learning of this
through the law’s channels, he ap
plied for letters of administration to
her estate.
Closest Kin Not Informed
Even the woman’s closest relatives
did not know her whereabouts for
years. She had not even told her
sister. “If you ever-need me put an
advertisement for a cook in certain
newspapers,” was her only message
when departing.
Years passed. Every day the wife
without a husband must have studied
the advertisement columns of the
newspapers she had fixed upon. The
call came in 1896. The woman an
swered it and went to the “house
with the green shutters,” to her sis
ter. There, too, lived their brother,
but, unknown to him, this secretive,
lonely woman entered the house. Un
known to him, she occupied a room
there. He and his sister died. The
woman in hiding div\elt there until
her last day. No one lever saw her
out of doors.

ue. Our own dollar has a German
origin, having been the thaler or
more fully, Joatchlm’s thaler, the
silver coin struck out of the silver
found in the thal or valley of St.
Joachim, France. This was extreme
ly pure and being coined into ounces
gave the real basis of the silver dol
lar which weighs an ounce.
Few stop to consider what a cent
is. It meant a hundredth, the French
word for hundred, and is the appro
priate name for the coin, which is
one-hundredth of a dollar. The quar
ter is easy, for it is one-fourth of
the dollar. The nickel is so-called
because of the metal from which it
is made and the dime is a tenth,
from the old French disme, traced to
the Latin decern, ten.
When you visit a mint and see the
great bars of gold and silver and are
told that thi sis bullion, you may not
know what the word is from the
Latin bulin, meaning rounded, and
referring to the rounding of these
bars by art.
The $lO gold-piece Is so-called an
eagle because of the print of the
eagle on it, just as the English
crown received its name from the
crown on its reverse side.
In coins the side bearing a head is
known as the obverse, that bearing
any other device as the reverse. In
matching coins, we speak of one side
as the head, the other as the tail.

excessive prices and with holding

FLAT ISSUE WITH
PRESIDENT'S PLAN
WASHINGTON. May 25.—William
J. Bryan took flat issue today with
President Wilson on the question of
an American mandate over Armenia,
declaring in a statement that "any
mandate is impossible.”
The United States, Mr. Bryan said,
could do no more toward making the
world safe for democracy, “even for
democracy in Armenia,” than by rec
ognizing the Armenian republic and
entering the League of Nations “as
the friend of all little countries.”
“Any mandate is impossible,” Mr.
Bryan’s statement said. without
other peace.
Would Mean Expense
"The one proposed for Armenia it
accepted would involve us in an
enormous expenditure in a time when
war. taxation is still so grievous a
burden that congress has difficulty
in finding the money necessary to
do justice to the men who served
in the World war, *
“It would involve us in the poli
tics of Europe and would compel us
to deal with implacable race hat
reds.
"It would involve us in the fierce
commercial rivalry of the big na
tions.
“But, worst of all, it would com
pel us to surrender a vital principle
of democracy, namely, that all peo
ple are capable of self-government.
Nearly 100 years ago Henry Clay set
forth the American view on this sub
ject in dealing with aspirations ot
South American republics. Refer
ring to the old contention of mon
archists that subject peoples, were
incapable of self-government. Clay
declared it to be a reflection on the
Almighty to assume that He would
create peoples incapable of self
government and leave them to be the
victims of kings and emperors.
Opposes Exploitation
“All the colonial exploitation of
helpless peoples is defended on the
theory of their incapacity tor self
government. We cannot indorse this
theory. It would be injurious to the
Armenians instead of a kindness to
affirm or admit them Incapable ot
self-government. If it were once
admitted, they would never be per
mitted to outgrow the presumption
of incapacity because consent to
their independence would encourage
other subject peoples to ask for in
dependence.
"Christianity does not require us
to abandon our ideas of government
or to adopt monarchical forms in
rendering aid to suffering peoples.
American ideas are entirely consist
ent with Christianity. We can rec
ognize the independence of the Ar
menian republic and send as min
ister to Armenia a man who has faith
in democracy and who believes that
governments should rest upon con
sent of the governed. He can advise
with Armenian officials when they
desire advice and help them as a
friend. We can be of much more
service to them in this way than
we can by exercising authority over
them. Then, if we will ratify the
treaty and enter the League of Na
tions as the friend of all the little
countries and insist on universal dis
armament we may be able to make
the world safe for democracy—even
for democracy in Armenia.”
Hero Hurt, but Doctors
Fail to Revive Pussy
PORTSMOUTH, N. H„ May 20.
Urban Bernard Wright, a quarter
master attached to the U. S. S. Rap
pahannock, had a narrow escape from
death when he jumped overboard
from the gunboat Paducah in an ef
fort to save the ship’s cat “Minnie,”
which had fallen into the river.
Wright saw the cat struggling in
the water and plunged overboard, a
fifteen feet. He struck
a ledge below and injured his arm
and leg so severely that they be
came useless and for a short time it
looked us though he would drown
before aid could reach him. How
ever, he grabbed the cat with his
one good arm and hung onto a line
until other members of the crew res
cued him.
"Minnie” and Wright were rushed
to the sick bay where they were
given first aid treatment. The ship’s
doctor worked on the cat for some
time, but failed to revive her.
A Million for Mink Skins
ST. LOUIS. —The opening of the
second and last week of the annual
spring auction of furs, at the inter
national fur exchange, brought a to
tal of about $1,000,000 in sales but
showed a decline of about 30 per
cent in prices. Phillip B. Fouke,
president of the exchange, explained,
however, that the decline does not
necessarily mean reduction to the
consumer.
The offering of 160,000 mink at
tracted many bidders but the collec
tion was not of the quality of that at
the winter sale, when mink price's
reached a record. First grade dark
eastern skins sold up to S3O; medium
grades from $lO to sl2 and the poorer
grades from $5 to $7.
The offerings for Tuesday embrace
7,800 Russian sable, 37 Japanese sa
ble and 9 sea otter. Sables from Ja
pan are much lighter in color than
the Russian variety and far less val
uable. Sea otter is almost a curi
osity in the fur market; its fur Is of
high value and has been sold as high
as $2,000 a pelt.'

JOHNSON WINS
NO BIG VICTORY,
TAFT DECLARES
BY WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT
(Copyright, 1920, for The Atlanta Journal.)
PORTLAND, Ore., May 25.—The
Oregon election has resulted in a
victory for Johnson, but by no means
a sweeping one.
Johnson has some pro-league votes
which were offset by anti-league
votes against him. But, on the whole,
it is fair to say that the total vote
against Johnson, as compared with
his total vote, represents the public
opinion in Oregon in favor of the
league with the Lodge reservations.
Every man but one of the delegates
elected made a public statement that
he was for the league with the res
ervations.
The man who was elected by the
largest majority was not only out
spoken for the league, but he an
nounced that if elected he would not
vote for Johnson. This candidate
leads the other delegates by some
6,000 to 8,000. There is only one John
son man on the delegation. The rest
will leave Johnson as soon as they
decently can.
The league entered very fully into
the campaign. Mr. Hoover advised
his supporters not to urge his candi
dacy, but to vote for delegates who
were for the league. He could not
prevent a substantial vote for him,
but his advice in respect to delegates
for the league was followed.
Johnson had his usual support ot
the Sinn Feiners, the pro-Germans,
the railroad labor organizations and
the radicals. His prestige from the
California election aided him much.
Ln Oregon one who has not registered
as a Republican cannot vote in the
Republican primary, but a great
many Sinn Feiners and railroad men
registered as Republicans in order to
vote for Johnson, but they will cer
tainly not vote for any other Re
publican candidate than Johnson. In
ether words, they are not Repub
licans.
The election shows one of those
ridiculous results that we not In
frequently have from general pri
maries. and one wonders how long
the people and the parties will be
willing to continue this farce, which
is destructive of the usefulness of
parties. A party is useful as its
return to power means the carrying
out of a definite governmental poli
cy. Under the primary ‘ system,
where candidates are selected not by
the loyal party members, but by fac
tional groups of the party, the choice
is not controlled by party loyalty or
interest In the party and its policies.
Such a system does not make for
effective and useful party action
after a victory is won. The Oregon
election for Johnson is like the Mich
igan election, and like those in other
states in which he gains the prestige
of a popular vote swelled by non-
Republicans and gets a few dele
gates who will not play with him to
the end. The Oregon delegation can
be counted on as voting in the con
vention strongly in favor of the
league with the Lodge reservations.
$lO in Bank, He Bids
$3,000,000 for Ships
NEW YORK, N. Y.—With a bank
account of $lO E. A. Moulton
New Rochelle, a $5 3 a week employe
of a steamship firm, startled the
congressional committee investigat
ing th# relations of the Morse inter
ests with the United States ship
ping board, with a recital of how he
negotiated with Charles W. Morse in
an attempted purchase of sou"
steamships valued at $750,000 each.
Moulton said he intended to pur
chase the steamers Huron, St. Paul,
Binghamton and Minneapolis from
the United States Steamship com
pany, and that he gave Charles w.
Morse, head of this company, person
al checks for $340,000 toward the
purchase. The checks were dated
in advance.
Reminded by Representative Tom
Connally, of Texas, that he had pre
viouslv admitted having only $lO in
a New Rochelle bank, Moulton said
he intended to put the money up to
cover the checks if the deal had not
collapsed when the United States
government refused to transfer the
ships to Canadian registry.
Says She Taught Her
Parrott to “Cuss”
ATLANTIC CITY.—If a wife
teaches a parrot to “cuss out’ her
husband, is it sufficient grounds for
divorce? , „ „
This issue has been put up to Spe
cial Master in Chancery Slack in the
suit brought by Maltby H. Messick,
a city fireman and overseas veteran,
against Mary R. Messick.
Mrs. Mamie Allen, a relative of
the defendant, testified that during
a visit to her home in Philadelphia,
Mrs. Messick had a parrot in her
room with her constantly and it
received a regular schooling in mod
ern cussing.
Mrs. Messick, according to Mrs.
Allen, said she was “teaching the
bird to cuss and swear so it could
express her opinion of her husband
tvhen he got home.”
Messick, who was a top sergeant in
Battery D, 112th artillery, admitted
the bird had an entirely new line
"that was worse than any German
gas he had bumped into.” Capt.
Hiram Steelman, his old commander,
now his counsel, pins his entire case
on the linguistic parrot.
