RESERVE BANKS EXTEND FUNDS TO WAR FINANCIERS

" WASHINGTON, Feb. 14. The Federal Reserve Board today practically threw open the vaults of the twelve Federal Reserve Banks of the United States to the financiers of the European war, giving permission for - the use of the funds of these semi-governmental banking Institutions in purchasing munitions of war for belligerent nations. -The permission fa given in the second annual report of the Federal Reserve Board made to the Speaker of the House Representatives at noon today. In view of the terms of the Federal Reserve Act, however, the Board -warns the banks that foreign financing must be performed in a roundabout manner, the Federal Reserve Banks making no direct pure chases of obligations or foreign governments. On this point the Board says: "The Board has received many inquiries with reference to its attitude toward foreign borrowing, in the t'nlted States and its policy with reference to the obligations of foreign governments. The Board has reached the conclusion, supported by competent legal advice, that the purpose for which goods are sold or exported, or the use to which such goods are ulti mately put does not " fall within its province or jurisdiction. If the transactions which have given rjse 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 Act, and If the' maturity of the loan falls within the limitations of the law, then the paper growing out of them, no matter by whom or for what drawn, may at will be discounted by Federal Reserve Banks and must be regarded as falling within the legitimate sphere of their operations... The Board believes that the financing of the country's export trade is at the uresent time one of the most import ant financial problems with .which the nations has to deal; and it is of the opinion that Federal Reserve Banks cannot, even If they would, avoid the responsibility of assisting in this process of financing what legitimately and properly devolves upon them." While not authorising the Federal Reserve Banks to buy directly the bonds of foreign governments, this appears to give them authority to lend money on bills, notes, drafts and similar commercial paper growing out of war order transactions and other foreign financing. Labor interests in this country alleged to be pro-German last summer communicated to the' Board the threat that if the banks were perEVANGELIST EASILY j,; RAISES MONEY FOR METHODIST SERIES

Impetus was given the union revival cp.r.rign being conducted by the Kerr brothers, evangelists, yesterday, when the services brought out unusually large congregations.

Kerr had raised all of the Incidental expenses of the campaign. The amount excluded the week night collections. , The evangelist in speaking at the regular morning service took as his theme the opening of the windows of Heaven anil the pouring out of such a blessing that there -shall not be ' room to receive it. Persona occupied seats in the gallery at the evening service. Prof. Sloane is delighted with the work of the large chorus and orchestra which , renders music at each of the services.

Tolerate Catarrh? You have noticed.no doubt, that any j rold aggravates nasal catarrh, and the How of mucous amazes you that such objectionable matter could find lodgment in your head. To ignore this catarrh when the cold subsides is wrong because it continues to slowly injure the delicate linings of the nasal passages and clog them up. I To correct catarrh, cleanse the nos-' trils frequently with a solution of warm ' water and salt, insert vaseline on re- j tiring, and take a spoonful of Scott's j Emulsion after meals for one month. I Scott's acts through the blood to feed the tissues, and contains soothing glycerine to check the inflammation and heal the sensitive membranes. Scott's is pleasant to take. .

It was my good fortune to see this production at the Illinois theatre in Chicago in the latter part of July, 1915, and consider it one' of the greatest educational and historical pictures I have ever seen; and it is a picture that the people of Richmond needs to see at the present time more than anything else.

COMPARES RELIGION TO WOODCUTTER'S AX

Likening the importance of the Indwelling of the spirit of Good to the Christian as the ax is to the woodchopper. Rev. Milo Hinckle delivered an Interesting sermon Sunday before a large congregation at the East Main Street Friends church, i Following extracts from the sermon: "What the ax is to the woodchopper so Is the indwelling of the spirit of God to the Christian. "The mind which was in Christ Jesus is the ax-head of religion. The Gospel is so broad and comprehensive it answers every need of every life. We cannot do Christian service without the spirit, of Christ. We are not sufficient of ourselves; we must have Christ to be efficient." SALESMAN INJURED IN RAILROAD CRASH J.. U.

HIGH SCHOOL GIRL

Run-down,. Weak and Nervous Mads Strong by Vlnol. For the benefit of Richmond school girls who overwork and get Into high- -ly nervous, weak and run-down condition, we publish' this letter from Dorrls Coplier. of Fort Worth, Tex. "I go to the high school and take music lessons, and became run-down, weak and very nervous, so I could not do anything. I would shake' all over and could have screamed at times, and was really unfit to keep on with my studies. Mother purchased a bottle of Vinol for me and within a week I was better, and in two weeks I had gained five pounds and felt fine." It is the curative strengthening elements of the true cod liver extract, aided by the blood-making, revitalizing effect of peptonate of iron and beef peptone, contained in Vinol, which made it so successful in building up health and strength and overcoming the nervous condition of Mis.s Coplier, and we ask every school girl in Richmond who is in a like condition to try Vlnol, on our guarantee to return their money if It fails to benefit.
