They unhesitatingly re plied that they did not know. John R. Bland, president of the Unit ed States Fidelity and Guaranty Coin pany, of Baltimore, admitted that he had received Information that, his in stitution was to be received into the association since the agitation started by he money trust investigating com mittee had begun.- I’ntermeyer tried to get the witness to admit that the committee’s action was responsible for the action, but he re fused to admit ft. Refused Membership. The first witness before the commit tee was William W. Cloud, president of the State Bank of Maryland, a Bal timore institution with a capital of $500,000. I’ntermeyer questioned him about the Baltimore Clearing House association, and Cloud said the application of his bunk for a membership in the associa tion had been refused. “What reason was given?" “We were told we would have to become full members if we wanted to clear.” cloud said they made two applica tions for membership, the latter one in May, 1911. but were informed that his institution could not be admitted. He aid Ids bank still was seeking mem bership and was willing to subscribe to all the clearing house regulations to get it. Cloud said his bank had conformed to clearing house rules regarding charges for the collection of out-of town bills, and intimated there was no difficulty on that charge. All Harmony in Committee. When the session was formally open ed Chairman Pujo read a statement in which he predicted that it would be necessary to correct the many “unau thorized. misleading and inspired re ports circulated regarding the commit tee's work.” He said a hostile effort had been made to embarrass the in quiry and no statement unless made at the committee had been taken as of ficial. - “At no time has there ever been any friction between members of the com mittee,” he said.

The mirth quali ties of the play are no less engaging than its score. The love of a man for a maid under odd circumstances, love of the soul ful. romantic sort, love that blossoms in the heart of youth and flourishes as true love ever does when things do not go smoothly, is the reigning spell of the pro duction. but this love, this courtship, is st* beset on every side and attended by so many misadvantages, that while Itself remaining an appealing interest, all its accessory situations arouse sentiment. A company of noted celebrities will be seen here in the sensational French vaudeville, as it is termed, among whom are Miss Reine Davrles, Betty fiarnell. Maud Irving. Ida May, Fred Frear, James Darling, Cyril Ring and 25 others.

Most old people must give to the bowels some regular help, else they suffer from constipation. The condition is perfectly natural. It is just as nat ural as it is for old people to walk slowly. For age is never so active as youth. The muscles are less elastic. And the bowels are muscles. So all old people need Cascarets. One might as well refuse to aid weak eyes with glasses as to neglect this gentle aid to weak bowels. The bowels must be kept active. This is important at all ages, but never so much as at fifty. Age is not a time for harsh physics. Youth may occasionally whip the bow els Into activity. But a lash can’t be used every day. What the bowels of the old need is a gentle and natural tonic. One that can be constantly used without harm. The only such tonic is Cascarets, and they cost onlj- 10 cents per box at any drag store. They work while you sleep.

And it is just this service that this store brings to the women of Atlanta right now. If there is anything that we have done well this season, it is the assembling of this wonderful collection of handkerchiefs. We know they are the prettiest that the same money can buy. We know that one quality and style after another are priced for less than elsewhere, we know that varieties here are the greatest in Atlanta. We have imported directly from the handkerchief island of the world, from Ireland. The handkerchiefs come in bond to us, no middleman has made one penny of profit on them. The cost of getting them here for you has been reduced to the very lowest. But price is not the only reason that we go to Ireland tor handkerchiefs. It is there that the exquisite and exclusive novel ties are to be found. And as these we have are from one of the foremost manufacturers of Ireland--we are his sole agent in this Southern section—-this is really a final resort for Christmas hand kerchiefs. Nor is this simply our opinion—customers are very liberal in their praise. One woman just returned from Paris—she seemed to have brought some of the French enthusiasm with her—exclaimed over the handkerchiefs she saw here, declaring them cheaper and prettier than any she saw in all Paris. So see them, see them now while the stock is at its fullest, and you will appreciate why we are so positive and earnest in our dec larations about them—every kind and every grade is here.
