Secretary of the Treasury McVeagh
is said to contemplate re-designing
the paper currency of the country.
His idea is to put the same portrait
on all notes of the same denomina-
ton, and he also believes that the de-
signs should be so distinctive that no
confusion could occur. He thinks that
the present size of the paper money
could be reduced about one-quarter,
conforming in size to the French pa

AS STRAIGHT MEN SEE HIM.
The Dead-Beat Is Probably the Most
Despised Creature That Walks
the Earth.

No man is wholly free from sin, but
SO many lesser evils are tolerated that
a man should hesitate long before be-
coming dead-beat Criminals are de-
spised and abhorred, but to the dead
beat all that is coming, as well as the
contempt of his fellow men. There is
something at once SO mean and so lit
tie in taking advantage of the conf
dence which comes with friendship
that the hand of every man is turned
against a dead-beat as soon as his
reputation is well established. The
dead-beat may fondly imagine he is
living easy and making money with
out work, and, of course, he takes no
account of the confidence he violates
and the hardships he infiicts on 9th
ers. But, that aside, he really has a
harder time than the man who is
honest and fair. He is compelled to
move good deal, and peace of mind
he knows not. Like other types of
crooks, he doesn't prosper, and his
finish is more unpleasant than the be-
ginning.-Atchison Globe.

Like an Earthquake.

Former High Sheriff Chesterfield C.
Middlebrooks, whose bungalow at
Highland lake stands partly over the
lake on stone and cement foundations,
was awakened at four o'clock the
other morning by loud noises which
he says shook his bungalow like an
earth tremor.
He says that after the household
had been shaken out of sound sleep,
he, not waiting to dress, went outside
to ascertain the cause of the noise.
He found, he says, that a monster
frog had its bed directly under the
bungalow. The frog weighed fully
six pounds, he says, and every time it
croaked the bungalow cracked and
shook.
Mr.. Middlebrooks bought an anchor,
strong rope and enough red flannel
to bait 100 hooks, and will try to save
his property by capturing the bull
frog.-Winsted (Conn.) dispatch to

ON FOOD
Tho Right Foundation of Health.

Proper food is the foundation OF
health. People can eat improper food
for time until there is a sudden col
lapse of the digestive organs, then all
kinds of trouble follows.
The proper way out of the difficulty
is to shift to the pure, scientific food,
Grape-Nuts, for it rebuilds from the
foundation up. A New Hampshire
woman says:
Last summer was suddenly taken
with indigestion and severe stomach
trouble and could not eat food with
out great pain, my stomach was SO
sore L could hardly move about. This
kept up until l was so miserable life
was not worth living.
Then a friend finally, after much
argument, induced me to quit my for
mer diet and try Grape-Nuts.
Although 1 had but little faith 1
commenced to use it, and great was
my surprise to find that 1 could eat
it without the usual pain and distress
in my stomach.
$50 kept on using Grape-Nuts and
soon a marked improvement was
shown, for my stomach was perform
ing it's regular work in a normal way
without pain or distress.
Very soon the yellow coating disap-
peared from my tongue, the dull,
heavy feeling in my head disappeared,
and my mind felt light and clear; the
languid, tired feeling left, and alto
gether 1 felt as if l had been rebuilt.
Strength and weight came back rapid
ly and I went back to my work with
renewed ambition.
To-day / am new woman in mind
as well as body, and I owe it all to
this natural food. Grape-Nuts."

A Sunday Sermon.

One must accept life as it is. 1t

too.
But that is life.
If you would make the world bright
er try to forget your hurts. dry your
eyes and turn to help those who need
the pressure of a friendly hand, the
encouragement of smiling look.
