POISON IN MONEY :
STARTS RUSH FOR
BRAND NEW BILLS
Officials Declare There Is no
Danger, but Are Redeeming
100000 a Day.
NO II WITH INK.
Only One Known Case Where
Real Harm Resulted From
Handling Cash.
NO u WITH INK.

~sub-treasury officials in New York
scout the suggestion that, ink used in
the manufacture Of paper money IL
poison. Despite this nearly s.ooo,Co Is
being redeemed daily at the Treasury
Building. Wall and Nassau streets. The
average daily redemption. in the past,
has been about $4,000.
Tho increase Is said to be the result
o! the great cry which has gone out
from New York banks. big stores and
practically every place In The city
whore money In large quantities Is
handled.
New money" IL the demsnd every
where. From the small capitalists to
the dignined nnanciers. hundreds have
been streaming into the Sub-Treasury
for days demanding new bills for old
..ss. Seventeen 3:cn have hcca KEEP,
hard at work handling this money.
Only ordinary precautions for safety
are taken. In the words OF an employee
who has been In the service for nifty
two years. There's nothing TO this
danger cry as far as I can see
Much of the present discussion IL due
10 the poisoning in Waltham. Mass. OF
George X. Farnum. Treasurer OF the
Waitham Cooperative Bank. lie had a
slight abrasion back OF one ear. While
handling money he scratched the ar
fected part. Blood poisoning developed.
IL was asserted he had transformed
poison from the MI to the little wound.
In the memory OF the oldest Official
In the New York Sub-Trea sury-he hav-
ing been employed successfully In a New
York State bank. the United States
Treasury at Washington and In the New
York SIMULTANEOUSLY one case OF
poisoning from money is called to mind.
A cashier In an up-the-State bank con-
tracted smallpox. 1t was alleged. but
never proved. he got It from germs on
the money he had handled. State Bank
money. at that time. unusually was
very dirty.
All money brought into the Treasury
Department in Washington for redemp-
ton Is handled by about zoo women,
many OF whom have grown old In the
service. They adopt only the ordinary
precautions.
They wear a rubbar tip on their nm
gers when counting the money. and
would not think Of eating without FIRST
washing their hands. In case of n sore
on the finger, Il Is protected thoroughly.
Such a thing as putting the tip OF the
finger TO the lips is unhesrd OF among
them.
Much Of the cry for new none In
New York, officials OF the Sub-Treasury
say. is due To the examination which
the city Health Department has been
conducting. Millions of germs have
been found on old money, These reports
have had wide circulation.

TWO MEALS 4 DAY
RBClPBROR HEALTH

Two meals a day and an occasional
fast was the recipe for health and lop:
life given by DIR. j. S. Hooker the other
day in London in a lecture before tho
Psycho-Therapeutic Society.
In the two meals a day plan." he said.
Lies a great preventive of catarrhs, in
f1uenza. and q host of other diseases un-
der the form of dyspepsia, gOut. and liver
afectionS> - The best time fer these two
meals will depend to some extent on cir
cumstances, but l believe if il were pos
sible for US to take our first meal about
II or Il and our second at or in the
evening. We should be all the better for
it.
Il myself have not had 4 cold for
years and am actually feeling younger
rather than older as the days go on.
The fasting cure is essentially a
cleansing process, and is especially good
for such diseases as gout, rheumatism,
dyspepsia, internal troubles, and growths,
diabetes. obesity. paralysis. blood dis
eases of all kinds and skin affections.
But certain conditions are advised.
These are rest of mind; no business:
healthy surroundings. in which plenty Of
fresh air can be obtained; correct breath
ing in the open air. and after the first,
week, at all events for most patients, a
good deal of bodily rest No long fast
should be undertaken at all without med
ical inspection first and medical watch-
ing"

Here in the Philippines it frequently

of the year 1873 studied in the world
famous University Of Salamanca. and at
the age of twenty years entered the order

A Romantic Search.

From the Los Angeles Examiner.
Juan GacieS, who declares he was 7
Dodyguard to Alfonso XII, father of the
present King of Spain, is serving a thirty
day sentence for vagrancy in the county
Jail. Gacies says he is searching for a
convent in which a sweetheart of his
younger days is now a mother superior.
The old Spaniard declares that his
sweetheart was forced into convent by
her parents because she was true to him
and refused to marry the man her par
ents had selected. He tried to rescue
her from a convent in Barcelona, Spain,
and was banshed from Spain as d re-
suit.
Later the girl was sent to this country.
says Gacies. but he cannot find out in
which convent she now lives, though
he declares that il is in California.
From Spain Gacies went to Cuba. where
he says he fought in the Spanish-Ameri-
can war. He says that he worked his
way to California in hopes of finding his
sweetheart of earlier years. His descrip-
ton of the convent is vague.
In appearance GacieS is an aged man.
His clothes are ragged and he wears
sandals in lieu of shoes. Jail officials
think that the old mans mind has be-
come weakened. He was found wander
ing around Long Beach.
