theft of 5000 of the nations money was
effected during the last official count, made
In 1897. when Treasurer Roberts succeeded
Treasurer Morgan. One Of the employees
assisting In the count gained access to the
bags while the committee were not looking
and extracted the above amount of silver
dollars. for which he substituted disks of
lead or equal weight. The theft was de-
tected and the man sent to the peniten-
tiary, but a recount by hand instead Of by
weight was demanded for all of the silver
coin in the treasury. Thus was the time of
the official enumeration prolonged from
three months to five. The retiring treas
urer had to pay the 5000 back to Uncle
Sam, as the law prescribes in such cases.
Some time before that. some sheets Of bills
disappearing from one of the treasury bu-
reaus, could not be traced. Their face
value was $500 ard Treasurer Morgan had
to make the amount good. But when, in
1894, $40 silver dollars were distracted from
one Of the vaults by a young man. the
shortage was made good by a relative of the
thief. and Mr.. Morgan lost nothing AL
most all treasurers have had to make good
such discrepancies. but 1t has been a rule
of Congress to refund the money to them
where no personal fault appears. The cleaks
and messengers who handle the nations
millions in the treasurer's Office give no
bond whatsoever to secure him against loss
by their possible dishonesty or carelessness.

All coin In the treasury. except that kept
in the cash vault for current use. is stored
In the two great underground vaults. one
beneath the north court of the building and
the other adjoining, beneath the cash room
in the north front. These great strong
boxes are protected by heavy masonry,
thick slabs Of steel, immense swinging
doors, cunningly devised time locks and in
genieus burglar alarms. Since the money
in the building was last counted. in 1897,
two new vaults have been added to the
eight already in use inside the building.
One of these, selected to illustrate what
the treasury officials regard as the ideal
strong room, is twelve feet in each of its
three dimensions and the lining walls are
of Bessemer steel plate three-eighths of an
inch thick. By huge screws and bolts they
are fastened to framework of steel built
into heavy masonry. The 5000 pigeon holes
are of steel and there is not scrap of in
flamma BILE matter in the furnishings. There
are duplicate locks on the doors. at which
Is always posted a guard of two men.
About seventy watchmen are employed TO
guard the treasury vaults. They work in
three reliefs. patrolling the entire building
at all hours of the day and night. In the
office Of the captain of the watch are re-
cording instruments to which each watch
man must send an automatic report once
every half hour.

A well-equipped armory near the vaults
contains sufficient weapons to arm more
than 1000 men cap-a-pie. The interior of
the great building is honeycombed with
wires facilitating quick communication. and
should any burglar gang attempt to over
power or intimidate one of the employees the
pressure of button would bring an armed
force to the visited room in less than thirty
seconds. At o'clock each afternoon all
doors of the treasury building, save the
main entrance. are closed. By o'clock all
employees must have left the building and
the keys to the various doors must have

Contrary to what you might suppose, the
hand count of the paper money is task
far less difficult than that of the coin. The
counting committee after unseaIing one OF
the paper money vaults breaks open the
packages of notes or certificates one at a

the notes be exposed The entire wrapper
must be taken off and the paper money
must lie in a loose package before the coun-

You Can Feel

When everything seems an effort, when YOU
feel tired most OF the time when you wake up
every morning as tired when you went TO
bed.-then there is something wrong
Nature is protesting against some neglect or
some abuse
Nature protests more often against nerve neg
lect than any other cause.
Remember, your strength is not in your mus
cles-the mue,les simply work when the Nerve
Force tells them TO-
Even your brain does not work by itself-the
substance in FOUR brain cells must have energy to
do its work this energy must be nerve force
the same great power-of-llie that controls every
organ of the body.
Every form of weakness. or sickness or dis
ease. comes from lack of Nerve Force TO keep
the organs working properly.
When one speaks of "a good constitution one
simply means strong, healthy nerve system.
When the nerve system is not strong and veil
nourished, it follows inevitably that one is easily
''ovcr-worked"- easily run down-just as Mrs.
Lowry describes
"For several months my system had been
run down and felt all worn out tired, did
not feel able TO get out Of bed in the morn
ing and felt just as tired when got up as
when retired. Had no appetite and looked

Paine's Celery Compound is giving new Nerve
