WATCH YOUR $40 NOTES.
Treasury Department VIII Not With
draw New Issue

The Treasury Department has no idea
of Withdrawing the new issue of $it
gold certificates, on account Of the acct
dents that have occurred in mistaking the
new note for the $40 certificate.
The new money bears a resemblance tc
the Old only in the fact that they are
Of the same color. yellow. and the de-
partment sees no more reason for with
drawing the $40 than there would be for
Withdrawing the s. silver certificates, be-
cause they are Of the same color as
81 bills

MONEY MAKERS ON LEAVE.
Uncle Sam Is Humane and Allows
Employees Their Vacations.

Uncle Sans money makers who turn
out fortunes in greenbacks every day in
the week aIe taking a rest. That IS, a
part OF the employees of the Bureau Of
Engraving and Printing and the Treasury
Department are taking their annual
leave. and each division IS minus one or
two Of the regularly employed men and
women. The leaves are divided. however.
so evenly that the manufacture OF money
goes on just the same.
Owing TO the fact that the clerks. Ger
tain ones Of them. in the Treasury are
away the work has been cut down lit
tie and this naturally makes less work
for the Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing. But the people use and wear out
just as much money during the hot sum-
mer months as they do during the win
ter and Uncle Sans money plant is COM
PEELED TO go on Just the same.
