The most noted exception to this
rule by congress was the authorize,
ton of acceptance by former Presi-
dent Roosevelt of the Nobel peace
prize, amounting to about $4,000.
Colonel Roosevelt turned this money
over to the department of commerce
and labor to form the basis Of a
fund for expenses attending arbitra-
ton and the peaceful settlement Of
disputes between capital and labor.
Before granting the authorization in
this instance, congress had full knowl.

the money. The prize was awarded
to Colonel Roosevelt for his efforts
in terminating the war between Rus
STA and Japan. .5sssi3s

Big Harvest Fren Unredeemed Money

money that is either destroyed or is
in such hands that. it will never reach
the treasury for redemption in gold.
Wellknown authorities who have
worked Independently on the subject
found. when they compared notes,
that they had reached substantially
the same resultant of all paper
money issued the government escaped
payment on from one-tenth of per
cent to about one-half Of per cent
This, of course, means that the gov
eminent makes on the paper money
it issues a commission varying be-
tween the percentages set forth. The
most definite result shows a gain of
approximately one-eighth of / per
cent. total gain to the government
amounting to $13,241,oOo since the
beginning of our paper money-about
half a century ago.
All sorts of causes contribute to
increase the amount of paper money
that will never be presented for re-
demption. Fire is perhaps the most
important cause. though improved
safes and the more general use of
safes for holding the cash supply are
annually reducing the loss from this
cause. Then there is a sort of inertia
that money seems to have which

Is started In circulation, even though
it be of an issue supposed to mature
at a given time. Shipwrecks, too, are
responsible for some of the loss.
Lastly. there are the collectors, and
it is probable that every fairly good
collection OF United States paper
money accounts for at least one piece
of every denomination that has failed
to coma back to the trea sl,rv

Army Wanting in Marching Ability

that the field army is wholly unpre-
pared for field service. He says the
new regulations are almost entirely
theoretical or dependent upon the ex-
perience of European armies. Our
transportation is the same as at the
beginning of the civil war, for our
army has so far failed to make use
OF automobiles, traction engines and
other modern appliances in the field
The weaknesses could be quickly de-
veloped If the present annual maneu-
vers could be replaced at least once
by the march of complete army
corps. Very few of our officers have
ever marched with more than a regi-
ment
To remedy these conditions, Mai.
Gen. Wood. chief of staff. has issued
orders which will change materially
the training Of the army The inspec-
tors general will be required to SUBJ
nit the troops to an annual inspection
in the field, in addition to the present
inspection, which is described in some
quarters as being little less than an
inquiry into the accounts and garri-
son work of the troops The new in
spection will be designed to show the
efficiency of the troops in the theoret-
ical work taught army officers in the
various schools and provided for in
the various drill regulations.

WAsHINGToN.--The nited States

WASHINGTON.--The nited States
w government in fiftyears has &C.
sumulated $13.ooo,0oo from unre-
deemed money. A Outstanding ques-
ton, namely: How nct does gov
eminent make throua the failure Of
us citizens to preslt its paper for

curately for our centry in these fig

problem, and th results they have
obtained by difrent methods are so
nearly identicaps to lead the layman
to feel conflict that they have hit
somewhere ner the mark.

Some years ago Judge Gray of the
supreme bench of Iowa was called to
Colorado by the death there of rela-
tive, who had in vain sought better
health in the mountains. On the way
back with the body transshipment
was necessary at Council Bluffs. Judge
Gray purchased tickets for Iowa City,
and attended to the checking of the
coffin box in regular form. Then he
retired to-his berth in the sleeper for
nights rest. At half-past four the next
morning the porter reused him to
'uress. as Iowa City was but few miles
away The judge had not slept we'll.
and the early rising had not helped to
put him in good humor. He was feeling
anything but cheerful when he stepped
upon the platform at Iowa City, and. ).

that the body of his relative was not

SAID the agent. Judge Gray was furi-

First Report on Infantile Paralysis

as a cause of death has been made
heretofore, but the increasing import
ance of the disease and its wide prev.
alence throughout the country in the
form of local epidemics render q
statement of the mortality important.
The $50 deaths compiled for the
registration area for 1909 were widely
distributed, and indicate endemic or
epidemic prevalence in many parts Of
the country. It should be remem-
bered, the bulletin points out. that
the census data relate only to regis
tration sources, and that for the nom
registration states the deaths are
only those returned from the regis
tration cities contained therein
Pellagra is new disease in the
mortality statistics, the bulletin
states. Only % deaths were returned
from this cause for 1908, and no
deaths for any previous year except
one for 1904 Such deaths undouht-
edly occurred, but were not recog-
niged and were consequently returned
as due to other causes or as of I'M

When You Cant Sleep.


There is an odd theory Chat many
people believe and which is certainly
harmless) that sleeplessness may oft
en- be cured in the following odd way:
Move your bed out into the room so
that no part of bed or covers will
touch the wall. Then place under
each .aster OF the he'd = piece Of rub
Der or rubber overshoe, or set the
caster in thick glass dish. Then go
to bed, making sure the covers do not
touch the wall. Thus the bed and
yourself will be cut OF from all cleo
trio contact with the floor or wall.
