R When zour Children Cry for It Castoria is a comfort when Baby is fretful. No sooner taken than the little one is at ease. If restless, a few drogs soon bring content- ment.

It is a vegetable product and you could use it every day. But it’sin an emergency that Castoria means most. Some night when constipation must be re- lieved—or colic pains-—or other suffering. Never be without it; some mothers keep an extra bottle, unopened, to make sure there will always be Castoria in the house. It is effective for older children, too; read the book that comes with it. ADVANCE INCREDIT SPECULATION SEEN Federal Reserve Board Cites Reasons for Warning Banks to Restrict Loans. By the Assoclated Press. Some of the factors which led up to the recent warning of the Federal Re- serve Board that use of Federal Reserve funds for speculation must be re- strained were outlined yesterday in the board’s monthly bulletin, Citing that during the past six years the United States has experienced “a most remarkable run of economic ac- tivity and productivity,” the board in its bulletin said, “During the last year or more, however, the functioning of the Federal Reserve System has encoun- tered interference by reason of the excessive amount of the country's credit absorbed in speculative security loans.” 1929 Conditions Outlined. . “The credit situation since the open- ing of the new year (1929) indicates,” the bulletin continued, “that some of the factors which occasioned untoward developments during the year 1928 are still at work. The volume of speculative credit is still growing. “‘Coming at a time when the country has lost some $500,000,000 of gold, the effect of the great and growing volume of speculative credit has already pro- duced some strain, which has reflected itself in advances of from 1 to 1, per cent in the cost of credit for commercial uses. The matter is one that concerns every section of the country and every business interest, as an aggrevation of these conditions may be expected to have detrimental effects on business and may impair its future. Board Defines Its Position. “The Federal Reserve Board neither assumes the right nor has it any dispo- sition to set itself up as an arbiter of security speculation or values. It is, however, its business to see to it that the Federal Reserve banks function as effectively as conditions will permit. When it finds that conditions are aris- ing which obstruct Federal Reserve banks in the effective discharge of their function of so managing the credit facilities of the Federal Reserve System as to accommodate commerce and business, it is its duty to inquire into them and to take such measures as may be deemed suitable and effective in the circumstances to correct them; which, in the immediate situation, means to restrain the use, either directly or in- directly, of Federal Reserve credit facili- tle:flin aid of the growth of speculative credit. Reserve Credit Outstanding. The volume of reserve credit out- standing at the end of 1928 showed an increase for the year of $252,000,000, the bulletin said, while the demand for currency showed an increase of $13,000,~ 000. The increase in outstanding re- serve credit, it was pointed out, was caused by a loss of $273,000,000 in the stock of monetary gold and an increase of $43,000,000 in unexpended capital funds of the reserve banks, effect in part by a decrease of $33,000,000 in member bank reserve balances. ‘The chief growth in bank deposits for the year was in time deposits, which require only a 3 per cent reserve, the bulletin added. SHOVELERS NEARING SNOWBOUND MINERS Food Almost Exhausted in (!oln- rado Town Isolated for More Than Two Weeks. By the Assoclated Press. DURANGO, Colo., February 18.—The army of shovelers working day and night to cut through mountainous snow slides to Silverton and Eureka, near here, where food supplies are almost exhausted, had hopes today of reaching the isolated mining settlements within oy ane great slide and a few small one great slide and a few si ones remained to be cleared from the tracks of the Denver & Rio Grande ‘Western Railroad before a train loaded with supplies for the 1,500 inhabitants of the two communities could be moved into Silverton. Eureka is only a short distance from there. ‘The slide at Needleton on the way to Silverton, the greatest obstacle in the way of the section crews that have been at work since February 3, has penetrated. This slide buried the rail- road tracks under neariy 100 feet of snow over a half-mile stretch. i The ‘only serious avalanche now ob- strueting the railroad is at mile post 48815 and the workers expected to have this cleared away by late today. The workers planned to use a rotary snow plow on the small slides. FORESTRY ADVANCEMENT PROVIDED BY PACK GIFT Washington Man Gives $200,000 to Yale to Establish Foun- dation for Work.

Rate Dispute Litigation Reaction Told by Speaker. NEW YORK, February 18 (#).—Wil- liam A. Prendergast, chairman of the Public ‘Service Commission of WNew York State, charged in an address' yes- terday that, the efforts of public officials to cease friction between the public and public utilities in rate disputes often has led ‘to expensive court litigation which reacted to the benefit of the utilities. This could have been avoided in many cases, he said, “if municipalities had taken a reasonable and sensible stand and if public officials had not in- frequently sacrificed public funds and public time in a manner which has im- measurably strengthened the utilities.” e COLD SPELL ARRIVES.
