For Forty Years Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound Has Been
Woman’s Most Reliable Medicine
—Here is More Proof.
To women who are suffering from some form of
woman’s special ills and have a constant fear of breaking
down the three following letters ought to bring hope: —
North Crandon Wis.— “When I was 10 years
old I got married and at 18 years I gave birth to
twins and it left me with ven- poor health. 1 could
hot walk across the floor without having to sit
down to rest and it was hard for me to keep about
and do my work. I went to a doctor and he told
me I had a displacement and ulcers and would
have to have an operation. This frightened me so
much that I did not know what to do. Having
heard of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
I thought I would give it a trial and it made me as
well as ever. I cannot say enough in favor of the
58.”—Mrs. Mayme Asbach North Crandon Wis.
Testimony from Oklahoma.
Lawton Okla.—“ When I began to take Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound I seemed <o be good for nothing. I tired easily
and had headaches much of the time and was irregular. I took it again
before my little child was born and it did me a wonderful amount of
good at that time. I never fail to recommend Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound to ailing women because it has done so much
for me.’’ —Mrs. A. L McCasland 509 Have bt. Lawton Okla.
From a Grateful Massachusetts Woman.
Roxbury Mass.—-“I was suffering from inflam-
mation ami was examined by a physician who found
that my trouble was caused by a displacement.
My symptoms were bearing down pains backache
and sluggish liver. I tried several kinds of medi-
cine; then I was asked to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound. It has cured me and lam
pleased to be in my usual good health by using it
and highly recommend it.” — Mrs. B. M. Osgood

RESERVE HOARD
PROPOSES SIX
AMENDMENTS
Congress Asked to Alter Law
Governing Banks in Several
Important Respects.
SAYS MONEY MARKET EASY
Manufacturing in Nearly All
Lines Active and Exports
at High Tide Now.
WASHINGTON. D. C. I <’b. 14.
Six amendments to the federal re ;
servo act were recommended to Con-
gress today in the report of the Fed- i
era! Reserve Board for the first full;
year of operation of the new lank-'
ing system.
“A year's experience in the opera - |
। tion of the federal reserve act' says
1 the report “has confirmed the board i
tn its profound conviction that the |
act has been one of the most bene- j
Ikial pieces of legislation ever
adopted by Congress. Not only have i
its fundamental principles been ful- I
l\ vindicated but in most details 1
the working of the measure has
been successful.”
The amendments recommended
would:
I’he six Xinrndmenls.
Permit national banks to subscribe
and hold stock in banks organized
for the special purpose of doing a
' banking business in foreign coun-
tries.
Permit with the approval of the
board the issue of federal reserve
notes to federal reserve banks either
against the deposit of commer<lal
paper or gold provided that the gold
so deposited shall count as part of
the required reserve of the bank.
ICxtend tho acceptance system to
the domestic trade so far as it re-
■ kites to documentary acceptances
; secured by shipping documents or
। warehouse receipts covering read-
ily marketable commodities or
I against the pledge of goods actually
j sold.
Permit national banks to estab-
i lish branch offi< es within the city
lor county in which they arc lo
' cated.
\<lvance tn Member Banks.
Permit advances to member banks
i against the member banks’ secured
’ promissory notes or against flip de-
• posit or I- ited States gov-
i ernment bonds.
Authorize a wide discretion In tho
| making of farm loans by national
; banks so that a federal reserve
| bank might make proper loans of
। this kind within a radius of one hun-
dred miles of its place of business
whether in its distritet or another
district.
“It is believed." says the report
“that the enactment of these amend-
ments will besides enlarging the
usefulness of the national banks re-
sult in ereatly strengthening the op-
eration of t+ie federal reserve act.
and more completely realize the
purposes of its framers."
The board annoum es that it does
not consider that it can direct the
business operations of federal re-
serve hanks in respect to foreign
loans but that its function is to
oversee these banks. A plea is made
in the report for the entrance into
the system of more state banks ami
trust companies.
Tn speaking of foreign borrowing
in the I'nited State the board points
nut that it bar re<’eiv»»d many in-
quiries on this subject ami lias given
them careful attention. Tt has
reached the c<»m lusinn. it says sup-
ported by competent legal advice
"that the purpose for which goods
are sold or exported or the use to
which such goods are ultimately
put." does not fall within its prov-
ince or birisdiction.
Ruling on I- a port Paper.
"If." the report adds "the trans-
actions which have given rise to
such sales or shipments are of a
true commercial nature if the basis
upon which they rest is such as to
comply with the requirements of
the federal reserve art. am! if the'
maturity of the loan falls within the |
limitation of the law. then the paper ’
growing out of them no matter by ;
whom or for vhat drawn may at I
will be discounted by federal reserve
banks and must be regarded as fall-;
ing within the legitimate sphere of
their operations. The federal re-
serve act makes no provision for ।
'collateral bond or stock loans or for'
the purchase of foreign govern- '
ments' obligations by reserve Insti-
tutions. Neither such obligations
therefore nor loans to member
banks based thereon are eligible as
investments for federal reserve
banks.
The board expresses regret that in
some states suits have been institut-
ed to test the validity of the provis-
ions of the reserve act by which if ;
may grant certain fiduciary powers
to national banks announces its In- I
tention to have its counsel intervene'
in these cases and says that every!
effort will hr made to have the ques- ;
tkm settled by the Supreme Gourt '
at an early date. It is pointed out
that only 32 state banks have been j
admitted to the system am! M nth-’
ers have come in by conversion Into!
national banks.
R<‘smcs Too Loxv.
"Tt Is regretable." continues the
report "that in not a few states re-
serve requirements for state banks;
and trust companies have been ma-i
teriallv lowered Io h gislaiAc enact- t
meat since the adoption of the fed-*
ernl reserve mt. The only justifica- ;
tion for the reduction of the reserve
requirements for national banks is
the fact tha» the national banks are
members of the federal reserve sys-
tem and that the federal reserve
banks hold part of the consolidated
reserve of the national banks and
are. therefore in position to come
immediate]’ with ah of their re-
sources to the support of national
hanks in case of necessity or emer-
The report declares that a condi-
tion of remarkable case was the
outstanding feature of the country’s
monev market during the year. it i
says that the nation's export trade
has reached high-water mark that

active and that it has been the part I
of wisdom for reserve banks to con-j
