SIGNATURES ON CHECKS.

The Palmer They Are the Less The,
Appeal to Forsers.
you ought to sign your check diff
ferently, Mr.. Blank" said a Chicago
bank employee to a depositor whose &C.
count runs well up toward 100000 a
year.
What's the matter with that
checkT' asked the customer, nettled
that. as he thought it should be init
mated he didn't know how to draw a
check.
You misunderstood me-" said the
teller. "The checks all right. l was
referring to your signature. 1t is just
the kind that a forger takes delight
in copying. If you will allow me the
privilege of saying SO, you're liable to
meet with loss in that way at any
time. Any good penman could initiate
it so cleverly you'd hardly know the
difference yourself.
The palmer the signature the less
likelihood there is of crook trying to
initiate it," he continued after the de
positor had become interested. In
nearly every big forgery of which
least. the signature initiated was that
of man who wrote with a flourish or
who had some peculiar type of writing
that ordinarily would appeal to the
laity as hard to initiate. 1t is a fact
that it is a rare occurrence for a big
forger to attempt to initiate the sigma
ture of the man who writes plain
hand.
mot long ago 1 had occasion to tell
a friend Of mine he stood a chance of
having some forger get a good sized
check in on him. My friend changed
the style of his signature. and a few
days later be was asked by a bank TO
inspect a check which had been pre-
scented for payment and to which his
old style signature was attached. He
had changed just in time. The forger
had been practicing on the old sigma
ture. getting it down pat and had not
ascertained that the new signature
was being used."-Chicago News.

Safe Food for the Little Ones

The delight OF children IS pastry
cookies, cakes, doughnuts, and other
dainties, in many of which a cooking
fat is used. Lard is risky; it is simply
hog fat, sometimes impure, often indi-
gestible. To use butter is expensive and
often impracticable. However, Cotto-
iene-the pure vegetable-oil cooking fat
can be used in every way the same as
butter or lard; it makes light, digestible,
healthful food, and at less expense, too,
one-third less being required than of
either butter or lard. If you value the
health Of your children, shorten their
food with Cottolene.
