COUNTERFEIT FLOOD LATE MARKET NEWS
Bad Half-Dollars and Quar-
tiers Abroad in Texas.
(American News Service)

San Antonio. Texas, April 90 For
the past three months counterfeit half
dollars and quarters have been num-
erous in certain localities in south
west Texas. Secret service men have
been trying for some time to locate
the source of supply, it being evident
this spurious coin was made at some
point in Texas. A short time ago, two
men were arrested at Ell Paso and it
was thought at that time the heads of
the gang had been apprehended. Late
ly, however. much of this spurious
coin has been in circulation and to
the two denominations named dollar
of excellent workmanship has been
added From this it is believed that
the manufacturers. but merely en-
gagged in passing the counterfeit mon
ey. \ few days ago a man was arrest
ed in Denver who, it is alleged. made
the most dangerous counterfeit quar-
ters, halves. and dollars that have ev-
the arrest of this man, secret service
men believe that the money passed in
Texas is the Colorado product. 1t has
been learned that this money could be
bought for fifty cents on the dollar.
1t appears that operations have been
carried on not only in Texas. but in
other parts of the south among Mexi-
are so perfectly made they can not be
detected by the workmanship. They
are overweight. however, and do not
ring quite clearly when given the reso-
nance test. 1t is believed that many
thousand dollars of this spurious coin
have been put in circulation. So far,
detectives are at loss to know who
is responsible for the presence of this
money in this part of the state.

and cleanses as no other shampoo will.
The luxury of extreme cleanliness of
the scalp which comes from the use of

You can prepare the tonic yourself by
adding one ounce of puinzoin to a half
