J. GEO. HINTZ," 756 Penn St. DIARIES FOR 1916. THE READING NEWS TIMES, READING, THURSDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 2, 1 9 1 5 DOLLAR BILLS HOT EASY TO GET, BDT GOOD TIMES BOOM Scarcity of Smaller Notes, Bankers Say, is Sign of Prosperity WORK FOR ALL TO DO Large Quantities of Change Will be Needed During the Month With the approach of holidays there Is a great deal of money In circulation, say bankers of Reading, and a large quantity of change is needed.

This applies particularly to dollar bills. Reading depends large ly on Philadelphia for its supply of change of smaller denominations, but Philadelphia says dollar notes are scarcer there now than they have been in years. There are plenty of the big bills with the yellow backs, the tens, twenties, fifties, hundreds and what ever sizes the treasury department may make but so far as the smaller sizes those with the picture of Lincoln on one side and Grant on the other con nected by the significant legend "One Silver Dollar" this form of spending money is hard to get. The cause of this dollar stringency which is giving a great deal of concern and general rejoicing on the other, is simply this prosperity. With few dollar bills on hand the banks know the country is prosperous.

When the dollars begin to pour in and stay, it is a sign, say the banks that here's nothing for them to do outside and this means panic, The banks of course are not entirely out of this class of money.

The farmers are receiving good prices for their crops and an agricultural following seems to be quite profitable. The seizure of wheat by the Canadian government this week has resulted in a boost in wheat prices, which benefits the Berks farmer to a considerable extent. The top notch price offered by the millers for Perks wheat this week was $1.10. an Increase of about six cents over the price which prevailed a week or ten days a go. The local price rang ed from Jl.05 to J1.J0.

and where the millers were formerly receiving western wheat, they were forced to fall back on the Berks crop almost exclusively to supply the demand Many of the farmers, believing the price had advanced as high as it would go, were willing to market their crop, and a great amount of wheat was sold. New Corn at BO Cents Other "rop prices which prevailed during the week were: Rye $1 a bushel: oats, 40 cents a bushel; old corn. 85 cents, and new corn 60 cents. Pefore selling their crops the farmers were doing a great deal of sorting out of the best, which is to be used for seed nert spring. The corn crop this var offered some ex cellent seed.

There will be a great amount of oats bought by the Berks farmers. There has been little change in the poultrv prices received in the, country following Thanksgiving Day, and while all of the farmers will place their surplus poultrv the market for the coming holidays this may force down the prices.

To see the tinge of healthy bloom in your face, to see your skin get clearer and clearer, to wake up without a headache, backache, coated tongue or a nasty breath, in fact, to feel your best, day in and day out. just try inside bathing every morning for one week. Before breakfast each day, drink glass of real hot water with a tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in it as a harmless means of washing from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the previous day's Indigestible waste, sour bile and toxins: thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is wonderfully invigorating. It cleanses out all the sour fermentations, gases and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast.

A quarter pound of limestone phosphate will cost very little at the drug store, but is sufficient to demonstrate that Just as soap and hot water cleanses, sweetens and freshens the skin, so hot water and limestone phosphate act on the blood and Internal organs. Those who are subject to constipation, bilious attacks, acid stomach, rheumatic twinges, also those whose skin Is sallow and complexion pallid, are assured that one week of inside bathing will have them both looking and feeling better in every way.
