BANKS READILY PASS THEM 250 Blanks Printed in Seattle Are Properly Numbered, "Protected" . and Oounterslgned In Con tract Company's Style. VANCOUVER. Wash., June 11 (Spe cial.) Wholesale operations by check forgrero have been discovered here. So clever were the forarerles of names and printing- that the Security Saving's & Trust Company, of Portland, on which the checks were drawn, cashed a num ber of them before discovering- the frauds. The Columbia Contract Company, which operates a rock quarry near Camas, Is the concern whose checks were forged. It Is alleged that the for ger had 2600 checks printed In Seattle, so near like the company's checks that It was hard to distinguish between the two. The checks were numbered with a numbering machine, properly dated and Imprinted with the same kind of an old-fashiened protectograph. A rub ber stamp also was used In marking NERVOUS CHILDREN There Is much criticism of modern educational methods tbat require too much work of school children, allowing them too little time for play and preventing- sufficient out-of-door exercise. When the study of music or any other accomplishment, with the necessary practice, is added, the strain Is In creased. Under these conditions the blood be comes impoverished and fails to nour ish the nerves. The child becomes rest less, and twitching of the muscles fol lows. Sometimes the child stumbles In walking and drops what it tries to hold. Pallor, llstlessness, inattention, rest lessness and irritability are symptoms that early show that the blood and, nerves are falling to meet the demands made upon them. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, a .fe tonic for children, will build up the blood. strengthen the nerves and help to meet the demands of the growing child. Suf ficient out-of-door exercise, nourishing food for ten hours sleep each day, with these tonic pills, will correct even long standing cases of St. Vitus' dance and will calm the nerves of the most lrrl table child. All druggists sell Dr. Williams' Fink Pills. A booklet "Diseases of the Nerv ous System" will be sent free to any parent on request by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co Echeneciady, sr. x wadvt the month and the names of the audi tor, T. Wettelund, and countersigned by the president. Daniel Kern, were forged so well that bank clerks and cashiers did not hesitate to honor them. The checks, ranging from 30 to $60. were cashed by workingmen In this city in various business houses and saloons. One bank got five of the checks, which were returned. It Is said the checks have been passed In Portland and other places. Fair Directors to Meet. CHEHAL1S, Wash., June 11. (Spe cial.)
