Statistics show about one person out

school children there always are those

use Of the common cup.

Proposed New HaIf-Cent Piece
Would Be of No Aid.
Chicago Bankers and Business Men
Ocprecate Proposed Plan of New
Yorker to Aid Americans
See No Advantage.

Chicago.-The American people do
not have half cent tastes.
They couldn't be educated to use
anything smaller than a cent.
The dollar has spoiled the sense of
proportion of the people of this
country.
All articles are sold on a cent ba-
sis. and people cannot lose something
they never had.
These are some of the answers of
Chicago bankers and business men to
statement given out in New York
by William II. Short, a banker of that
city, In which he urged the coinage of
two and a half cent piece by the
United States government.
The use of such a COIN" asserted
he, would mean a saving of 9,000.-
600 yearly by the consumers.
THE absence of such a coin," con-
tinued the New York banker, has
resulted in the universal custom of
sellers taking the half cent whenever
transaction does not result in even
money"
He said he thought the public lost
yearly from this cause "the approx
mate sum of S39 100000"
Here's what Chicago things of this
financial question:
George e. Roberts, director of the
government mint before he became
president of the recently merged Com
mercial National bank, thought the
American people too extravagant to
appreciate two and a half cent piece
If they secured it.
I'VE have one cent piece, and judg-
ing from the freedom with which the
American people spend money. don't
think they could be educated to use q
coin that would give them smaller
unit of exchange" said Mr. Roberts.
IN this country all our units are
higher than they are in Europe. Our
wages are better; our standard of liv-
ing is different. | can't see that we
need two and half cent piece, be-
cause we have coins enough, and
don't think the proposed coin would
be an advantage in trading"
Len Small. recently appointed
United States subtreasurer at Chi
cago, declared over the long distance
telephone from his home In Kankakee
that he had never given thought to
what would happen II we had two
and half cent coin.
But of hand" said he. 81 would
say that our present money takes care
of the situation pretty we'll. ! don't
think such a coin would effect much Of
a saving"

said he would have to give the mat
ter consideration before expressing
an opinion, but believed the smaller re-
taller would profit more under the
present coinage system than does the
larger store.
81 can see no advantage of such a
coin," he added.

Secretary Birds From South A.
RIGA Do Tricks at Zoo.
Reptiles Destroyed With Neatness
and Despatch by Feathered Flying
Animal-The Keepers Are
Astonished.

New York.-Two official snake kill
ers, who have been added to the col
lection at the Bronx Geological garden,
gave an exhibition of how serpents
can be slain with neatness and des-
patch. The snake killers are known
TO ornithologists as secretary birds.
They hail from South Africa. These
two got here on Saturday. They are
the first ever acquired by the zoo man
agement.
The ZOO keepers had read a lot
about the way in which the secretary
birds kill snakes, but they had never
seen the birds in action. Keeper
Riley of the monkey house, was a
little skeptical about their exploits.
WELL" keeper Charlie Snyder told
him. there are several no-account
snakes lying around loose In the store
room back Oh The reptile house. Let's
give the secretaries chance to show
u.s."
They did. Snyder gathered up a
small bundle of snakes, put them in
a bag, and a call was made on the
newcomers.
Snyder opened the bag and pulled
out three-foot water snake. The mo-
ment 1t touched the floor the snake
darted toward the closed window, and
both secretary birds made a dash for
the snake. The male reached the rep
tile first. Down came the foot of the
secretary bird on the snakes back
just behind the head, and in an in
stant about two feet of tail was twist
ing around the birds legs. There was
severe peck or two, and little was
left OF the water snakes head.
The tail slowly unwound itself, and
both the male and female began to
make meal of the dead reptile.
That's about the quickest work |
ever saw" said Snyder, and Riley ad.

DOOM SMALL COIN

half cent piece, or twelve and half
cent piece, will not remedy the trou-
ble," averred B. NJ. Chattell of the
Illinois Trust and Savings bank. 1T
Is deeper seated than that.
In America we have become accus-
toned to two for a quarter three
for a quarter and three for a half,
and our manufacturers have govern
ed themselves accordingly. No cigar
maker in the United States would
think of selling sigars for four. five,
six, seven or eight cents. and yet that
is what is done in European countries
on a corresponding scale of their
money.
The trouble is, the people Of this
country, starting in a primitive way,
became accustomed to the larger value
of coins. If, instead of having dol
lar, we had something akin to the
German mark or the French franc we
would accustom our people to more
economical mann ar Of living"

FETE SNAKE KILLERS

mitted that his doubts had been re-
moved.
When the birds had finished their
meal another snake was released, and
the performance was about the same.
Two more reptiles met with the same
fate, and then the secretary birds had
eaten their fill.
After their probationary period of
quarantine is over they will be put on
exhibition in the ostrich house. They
will have runway alongside the os.
trich corral, so that they can get all
the air they want in summer. The
birds have very long legs and necks.
At the base of each of their skulls is
a long tuft Of feathers, which gives
them the appearance Of having quill
pen stuck at the sides of their heads.
With them in the same shipment
from South Africa came a pair OF
hyrax, a small animal somewhat re-
sembling woodchuck. The hyraX.
says Director Hornaday, is really the
ooney referred to so often in the
Scriptures. 1t is carnivorous Both
specimens arrived in excellent condi
tion, and will be placed on exhibition
soon.
In the collection were also an Al
rican porcupine, two zorillas, small
skunk-like animals, with white stripes
along their sides, springhaas, which
is described by Colonel Roosevelt In
his last story in Scribner's as looking
like big jackrabbit, except for long
tail, and two small monkeys, one
Diana, the other known as a velvet
monkey. These last are very sus.
ceptible to cold, and will be hard to
keep here.

TINY BABY'S PlTlFUL CASE

Our baby when two months old
was suffering with terrible eczema
from head to foot, all over her body
The baby looked just like skinned
rabbit. We were unable to put clothes
on her. At first 1t seemed to be few
mattered pimples. They would break
the skin and peel off leaving the un-
derneath skin red as though it we're
scalds. Then a few more pimples
would appear and spread all over the
body, leaving the baby all raw without
skin from head to foot. On top of her
head there appeared a heavy scab a
quarter of an inch thick. 1t was aw-
full to see so small baby look as she
did. Imagine! The doctor was afraid
to put his hands to the child. We
tried several doctors remedies but all
failed.
Then we decided to try Cuticura
BY using the Cuticura Ointment we
softened the scab and it came off. I'm.
der this, where the real matter was,
by washing with the Cuticura Soap
and applying the Cuticura Ointment,
a new skin soon appeared. We also
gave baby four drops of the Cuticura
Resolvent three times daily. After
three days you could see the baby
gaining little skin which would peel
off and heal underneath. Now the
baby is four months old. She is a fine
picture of a fat little baby and all
is we'll. We only used one cake of Cuti-
cura Soap, two boxes OF Cuticura Oint-
ment and one bottle of Cuticura Re-
solvent. If people would know what
Cuticura is there would be few suffer-
ing with eczema. Mrs. Joseph Koss-
