Bland, president of the Unit ed States Fidelity and Guaranty Com 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. Untermeyer tried to get tlie witness to admit that the committee’s action was responsible for the action, but he re fused to admit it. Refused Membership. The first witness before the commit tee wan William W. Cloud, president of tlie State Bank of Maryland, a Bal timore institution with a capital of .$500,000. Untermeyer questioned him about the Baltimore Clearing House association, and Cloud said the application of his bank 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 Muy, 1911, but were informed that his institution could not be admitted. He •said his bank still was seeking mem bership and was willing to subscribe to all the clearing house regulations to get it. < 'loud said ills 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 tlie committee had been taken as of ficial. ‘‘At no time has there ever been any friction between members of the com mittee.” be said. “The utmost har mony lias prevailed from the begin ning. and a report to the contrary has been sheer fabrication.

A genuine man wants a genuine woman; he monopolizes all her thoughts by day. His imagination is a lens which gathers together all the light and heat of a great world, and focuses them on June.

Seats are now selling GRAND HAS FEATURE BILL FOR PATRONS THIS WEEK Vaudeville feature acts from every principal circuit in America have been assembled to appear at the Grand this week. The promise of the management that this would happen has been fulfilled with good measure For the last two weeks at the big theater the attendance has been of the kind that follows all the attractions that have magnetic strength. In selecting this bill, the Keith people have perhaps assembled more variety tfean any seven-act program yet seen here There is farce comedy, comedy magic, trained animals, black-face fun, musical comedy and gymnastics. The star feature will be Edgar Alche scn-Ely ami company presenting "Billy's Tombstones,” a vaudeville version of the Shuberts’ great farce comedy. Mr. Atche son has scored a splendid success with this, and it is believed will prove to be one of the great hits of the Grand sea son.

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 tiie 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 so beset on every side and attended by so many niisadvantages, that while itself remaining an appealing interest, all its accessory situations arouse sentiment. A company df noted celebrities will be seen here in the sensational French vaudeville, as it is termed, among whom are Miss Reine Davries, Betty Barnell, Maud Irving. Ida May, Fred Frear, James Darling, Cyril King and 25 others. A number of new ideas in gowns and millinery are displayed by a charming group of choristers. "Madame Sherry" opens a week’s engagement tonight at the Lyric.

Most old people must give to th* 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 i« never so active as youth. The muscles are less elastic. And tlie bowels are muscles. So all old people need Cascarets. One might as well refuse to aid weak eyes witli glasses as to neglect this gentle aid to weak bowels. The bowels must be kept active. This is important at I 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 only 10 cents per box git any drug store. They woi k while you sleep. (Advt.)

And so does practically every woman. Now, the store that can effect economies for these thousands of women who give thousands of handkerchiefs will be doing a real and worthy service. 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 I in Atlanta. We have imported directly from the handkerchief island ot 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 for 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.
