The rapidly growing demand for a
more wholesome and decent paper
currency constitutes one manifesto
tion of the healthful tendencies of the
times.
To use the language of science, this
10 IN "antiseptic age;" to use the
language of everyday life, this is an
age of cleanliness. In the realms of
pathology, it is the age of germ dis
covery and humiliation; in domestic
affairs, it is an era of soap and water,
plentifully provided and industrially
applied.
To checkmate the micrObe has been
the diligent endeavor of modern medi-
cine and surgery; to promote that
virtue which is justly extolled as mex
to rank in GOdliness has been accept

1t strikes the Sentry as a self-evi-
dent satire on this condition of things
that our government permits the peo'
pie throughout seven-eighths of the
entire republic TO handle paper cur
rency in small denominations that is
disreputable in its dirt and recognized
as a menace to the public health, as
well as a disgrace to the nation whose
seal of verifcation and guaranty it
bears.
There might be some shadow of ex-
cuse for this state of things if there
were no remedy. But there is a rem

Her Powder Puff.

She was going to the matinee to spend

And she took her little powder puff

She ]journeyed to the jewelry store to
buy a salad spoon,
And she took her little powder puff

She went across the street from home

She didn't even wear her hat, but left

Together with her jacket and her
silken p~arasol,
And she took her little powder puff

She went to church on Sunday night

She met "A bunch of jolly friends and

used as a check is Immediately re,
tired from circulation, destroyed as
mutilated currency, and re-issued.
This keeps a constant flow of crisp,
new bills from the press to the hands
of the people.
Thus while the post.check would
furnish an ideal medium for small re-
mittances, and for that reason alone is
worthy of adoption, a larger aspect of
the case, and perhaps an even greater
benefit is found in this incidental
function of constant renewal of the
small bills and clean money kept in
circulation throughout the country.
Undoubtedly, disease turks in dirty
bills, where tempting nests for mi
crobes are found. A medical journal
tells us that the sponge used in a bank
was analysed and found to be swarm
ing with microbes of various deadly
diseases. Few of our bundles of bank
notes would pass muster at quarantine.
All classes are affected. The surgeon
who carefully sterilizes his lancet and
uses all manner of antiseptic precau
tions in performing an operation takes
his pay in filthy paper, which affords
excellent Couture" for deadly
germs. The most refined woman who
has carried personal cleanliness to the
extreme limit, fumbles loathsome bills
in her dainty hand-even holds them
in her teeth!
Thus health and d]ecency combine to
denounce the filth our currency car
ries. The difference between a crum-
Piled, greasy, dirty bill and a fresh,
clean one is precisely the difference
between soiled and fresh linen. If
there were no other reason for the
p~ost-check, this would suffice, but there
are many more, Clean money will be
an incidental, but most grateful boon.
1t canno come too soon to suit a peo-
pie whose instinct for cleanliness cries
out vehemently for this needed reform,
And the inventor of this many !
sided scheme of public utility has not
only assigned his patents to the gov

oense, but he has expended many
thousands of dollars in legitimate agi-

Salem Wooden Mill cloth is known III every Western State,
and is fast displacing other leading mill products throughout this
territory. The demand for thes goods has grown to such proper
tons that it is impossible for the mill to supply them. The success
of this factory has been due to the energy and good management
of Thomas b. Kay, the president and manager of the company.
Modern machinery and ~up-todate business methods applied in
all details Of the business is one of its up-bulders, and few men
know better how to apply new ideas than Manager Kay.
Quality il, the high aim of this young manufacturer. The past
year the mill has consumed one million pounds of Oregon wool. The
capacity Of the mill is being increased annually by adding a new
laborsaver here and there in the various departments, until the
perfection has made the same mill capable of almost double the
production without materially increasing its force, and a CORE
spending increase in quality as well.
The policy of adding new improved machinery wherever there
can be a saving of energy has proven to be the keynote to this
mills success, to which the largely increased business Of the past
year attests.
This establishment was begun in 1889, with a 12loom mill, and
has grown to its present proportions, and now employs about 100
people.

eharge of their duties and make the
following recommendation as to the
future conduct of the county's bust.
ness:
J. A. NESBITT Cwhile Treasurer
First we find that during his term as
treasurer he allowed the receipts and
disbursements of the county fund by
various persons not duly sworn as his
deputies. This practice is a viola.
ton of the provisions made in section
1907, Cuttings Compiled Laws. Sec.
ond. We find that during his term as
treasurer he failed to keep the county
funds separate from his own personal
fund. We recommend that this prac.
tice of non-separation of public and
private funds In possession OF the
county treasurer and other officers be
at once discontinued. as II is to be
regarded as a menace to the safe con-
duct of the county's business.
Third. We find that paragraphs /

port on the delinquent rolls, present
evidence of gross neglect on the part
of Mr. .Nesbitt In failing to keep the
delinquent roll up to date. or in a
careful or proper manner, and we
submit that the failure to so perform
the duties is deserving of the strong
est censure.
Fourth, We find that during his
term of Office as treasurer he em-
pIoyed a clerk not sworn as his deputy
to perform his work, and that he, J. A.
Nesbitt, never at any time. by his OWL
sworn statement, checked up. looked
over. or in any way whatsoever su-
pervised the counting of the county
funds in any particular, in fact he
knew nothing about the state of the
actual cash on hand. the book bal
ances or accounts and reports further
than the information supplied him
from time to time by the aforesaid
clerk. We submit that the failure to
perform these acts is deserving of the
strongest possible censure

There have recently been launched two

cargo of $4,000 tons dead weight.
"Third-Tlfere is another reason
which will help us secure this increased
traffic as the nations are more and
more Christianized. This is the increas-
ing popularity of the United States
with the people of the Orient, and
their desire therefore to trade with us
rather than with other nations when
they come to trade with anyone.
'Fourth--The high character Of our
manufactured articles and the quick
ness with which we do our work give
us the advantage in business whenever
there is any new development.
AS the interior districts of all these
nations are steadily opened up by mis-
sionary influence and the new wants
created, the United States is in the
very best possible position to get the
business.
"It is only as we develop missions
that we shall have market in the Or
lent which will demand our manufac-
tured articles in sufficient quantities to
match these increased facilities. The
Christian man is our customer. The
heather or non-Christian man, as a rule,
has very few wants. The native of
Egypt or of South Africa may live for
years in close touch with Christian civ
ilization, but he does not because Of
this change his manner Of life or have
any more wants. 1t is only when he
is changed within that there comes this
desire for the manifold articles that
belong to the Christian man and the
Christian home. A missionary is every
where and always the pioneer Of trade
"Young people vino have become

sionary work in our home land. Many

Of one Of these men living In the
state Of New York has been recently
shown by legacy Of more than $780,
