drives out the poisons from the stom-

purifies the blood. Calomel puts the

Greatest Stock of
Money in History
By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.—More
actual money—gold, silver and paper
currency—is in circulation at present
than at any time in the Nation’s his-
tory and there is a bigger share tor
every man, woman and child. A
treasury report yesterday showed 35,-
558,000,069 in circulation—8760,600,660
more than a year ago and 8176,000.900
more than a month ago—making an
average of 52.44 for each person.
These figures on the stock of money
bear little relation to the Nation's
actual wealth or to its credit re-
sources since these, pyramided on each
other, amount to many times the act-
ual money available.
