4 TTTF. ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. AFTER WIT OF M ISS AGNES TINSLEY HARRISON, of Atlanta, who made local debut as pro fessional actress Monday night. Government Soon to Deposit Ad ditional $10,000,000—Munici pal Bonds as Security. Atlanta national banka are taking advantage to the full of charges being put Into effect b v v the new Secretary of the Treasury. Secretary McAdoo has announced that the Government soon will deposit $10,000,000 additional in the bunks. Ho announced at the same time that Instead of requiring that deposits be covered dollar for dollar with Government 2s. he will accept municipal bonds under cer tain restriction as security for de posits. Both of these charges will operate to the benefit of Atlanta and the South in general. Government depositories here have put in application for a share of the $10,000,000. The money can be used to advantage in the South. Eastern banks, on the other hand, are not so anxious for additional Government funds since they will have to pay 2 per cent Interest in future. Many Southern Applications. There are about 900 Government depositories in the United Stales. Of these, 300 have made application for the $in.000,Q00, and it is surmised, from the facts stated, that many of these applicants are in the South. As Atlanta banks understand the municipal bond restrictions, 30 per cent of the bonds they are required to deposit with the Treasurer may bo muniyipals, at 75 per cent of their value.' In other words, a bank hold ing $100,000 Government funds may put up $70,000 in Government 2s, and $40,000 in municipal bonds, yielding 4 1-2 or 5 per cent. By doing this, notwithstanding the payment of 2 per cent interest on de posits, the transaction will yield a umall profit In Interest, besides possi ble profits from purchasing munici pal bonds chiefly, during periods of depression like the present, and real ising a profit on their rise in value. Government bonds cost a small pre mium, and never fluctuate In value. f j Opens Municipal Bond Market. The new ruling opens up a market for municipal bonds, too, in a quarter which was closed to such issues be fore. This does not amount to so much In Atlanta, with $500,000 Government deposits now, and a possible $600,000 when the additional $10,000,000 i* al lotted, hut for the nation, it amounts to considerable. Government deposits all over the nation will amount to $53,000,000, w hich will make a market for $16,430,- ooo in municipal bonds, if the deposi tories care to take advantage of it. Banks have found It profitable to handle portal savings deposits under a similar system. ENVOY LEISHMAN IIS STILL PENNSYLVANIA RESIDENT PITTSBURG, May 6—Judge R. A.

Through un fortunate Ignorance or careless ness in the feeding of a baby its tiny stomach may become de ranged. The disorder spreads to the bowels and before the mother realizes it the two chief organs on which the infant’s comfort and health depend are causing it great suffering. If the condition is al lowed to continue grave ailments often result. There is, however, ik> occasion for alarm, and the sensible thing to do—but it should be done in stantly—is to give the baby a small dose of a mild laxative-tonic. In the opinion of a great many peo ple, among them such well-known persons as the parents of Dixie Dudley, Magnolia. Ark., the prop er remedy is Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. Mrs. Earl Dudley writes: “Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin Is the best medicine I ever used. It cured my baby of flatulency colic when the doctors failed; it cured my husband of constipation. My home shall never be without Syrup Pepsin.” It is a pleasant-tasting laxative, which every person likes. It is mild, non-griping, and con tains that m6st excellent of all digestants, pepsin. This remedy is especially Intend ed for infants, children, women, old people and all others to whom harsh cathartics, Vwlt waters, pills, etc., are distressing.
