WASHINGTON NICKEL.
Designs With First Presidents Head
to be Submitted.

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 9.--It was
learned on good authority that dies
have been prepared by the engravers
of the United States Mint in this city
for the proposed United States Ave
cent piece bearing the head of George
Washington, to take the place of the
nickels now in circulation.
1t cannot be said yet whether the
Government will adopt this coin or
not. Many hundred dies have been
made for coins never accepted, but II
his portrait coin follows the new Lin
coin penny it win be the first coin in
actual authorized circulation to carry
the head of Washington. Yet several
pattern coins bearing it have been cir
culated.
Washington himself refused to al
low such a CON to be issued during
his lifetime. He said it was mon
archial' custom, not fitting to re-
public.
Yet his head has adorned pattern
coins issued in small numbers, but
never adopted officially since 1888.
when some 5000 to 10000 by well
known DESC ner named Wyron were
struck off. AS late as 1868 pattern
for a two-cent piece bearing his head
was made, and in 1860 series of pat
tern five-cent pieces with his head
upon them was designed, but never
circulated.
This particular coin has been de-
signed either by Engrayer Morgan or
Barber, of the mint. Specimens TO be
struck off soon will be submitted TO
the Treasury Department in Washing
ton The adoption of the coin rests
with the Treasury Department.

PUBLIC DRINKING CUP DANGER
Movement to Abolish Them Rapidly
Gaining Roadway.

The question of supplying individual
drinking cups in public places is re-
ceiving a good deal Of consideration
from medical men at present In this
connection the International Journal
OF Surgery says:
ut is said that at enc Of our col
leges, in 1907, the graduating class of
eighty young ladies at final gather
ing all drank from one loving cup;
among them was a girl who had re-
Gently had diphtheria. Reports are
said to show that after the young la
dies had gone to their homes a large
number of them were affected with
some sort OF throat trouble.
"As a result of drinking from the
chained cup in large New York de-
partment store last winter, several
clerks were inoculated, and IL is said
that the store has now Installed small
automatic veAdors OF individual paper
paroffine cups.
Realizing the danger in the use of
the public drinking cup, the manage
ment OF the Norfolk &c Western
Railroad Company has recently in
stalled In each OF the coaches EN-
ployed in its service devices from
which individual drinking cups may
be secured by all passengers on the
penny-in-the-slot plan.

OUR HIGHWAYS THE WORST.
T Enelishman Declares That He Found
No Such Poor Ones Elsewhere.

of our highways Mr.. Jackson said

is surprising to me. for ii there is any
Improvement nation can make that

roads were six inches deep in dust.
and in the winter i doubt not. this
dust becomes sludge. How the farm
ers can get 10 market with their crops
is beyond me- Your roads wherever
have been are generally very bad. In
England we have excellent roads. as in
other countries of Europe.
Road building and road improve
ment are done through the township
unit system. Nearly every township
has one or more steam rollers. and the
cost of improving the roads or building
new ones is borne by the property
owners In proportion to the valuation
of their holdings. Most OF the modern
roads Of England have foundation OF
brick-not OF ordinary brick. but brick
of large size. Upon this foundation are
placed several inches of soil and on
top of this soil bluestone, which IL
ground into the soil by me2ns OF the
steam rollers This makes d first class.

condition during all seasons of the

made by simply turning the turf and

They Say You
Can Feel 1t Heal

(From the American Drug Reporter.)
Eczema on the head and scalp is a
common occurrence of most common
disease and it is to be regretted that
most remedies for eczema which pro-
duce cures when other parts of the
body are affected fail to give good re-
suits when used for eczema on the
head.
The new drug quintone is different
from other eczema cures offered to the
public, for it proves an excellent rem
edy for all forms of salt rheum, letter
ringworm, psoriasis and similar skin
diseases, and purchasers report they
''can feel it heal eczema on the scalp.
AS eczema on the scalp causes an
moving inching, dandruff and falling
hair, the sales OF quintone are rapidly
Increasing and it is probably the most
popular home treatment known. All
that is necessary is to dissolve two
ounces of quintone in a half pint OF hot
water and let cool. For eczema on the
head rub Quintone we'll into the scalp
with the finger tips. For eczema else
where a cloth saturated with quintone
lotion IS applied TO the affected surface.
Quintone stops the itching at once.
