How Money Is Destroyed

The government Is very careful that none of the commercials shall ever again be made use of and the paper money is where it is cut to pieces and sold to paper dealers. The coins are melted in the navy yard and are disposed of In various ways.
 MT. Foster is a personal friend of Will liam J. Burns, the famous "McNamara' detective, and worked on number of cases with him. He barely mentioned one case, that of the Monroe head counter felt gang Chief Wil<ie took personal charge of this case and perhaps a dozen officers worked for a year and half on the case before landing the gang of 13 in points all over the east. Twelve out of the B operators were convicted in this case. The 18th man. who escaped, was the lawyer who advised the counterfeit CTS. AS an illustration of the daring of the counterfeiters MT Foster mentioned that they made a bunch of $20 Hamilton head notes while they were in prison in Philadelphia and passed them before the officers caught them.
 MT. Foster thinks very highly of Will Ham ]. Burns. 'I knew Burns intimate ly for a number of years,' he said, and think he Is one of the greatest detectives of the age He was one of the best that ever worked for the government. Burns greatest asset Is his capacity for detail. He never overlooks the smallest item and 1t is this that has made him what he is. Burns has a singularly pleasing person. ality and is what you newspaper men term good mixer. He is equally at home In saloon dive or drawing room If he Is on a case"

George F. Foster Tells How "Phoney" Money Is De-
 stroyed by Uncle Sam
SOONER OR LATER
 ALL GET CAUGHT
Officers Annually Confiscate About $150,00O Worth of Bogus Money and Paraphernalia of
 Swindlers Under Arrest
By JACK BETHEA.

The officers of the United States secret service annually eonhscate about sl50,00o worth of bogus money and paraphernala of swindlers under arrest. The disposal of the contraband goods offers quite a problem, but the government has solved 1t with the usual thoroughness for which Uncle Sam is famous.
 George F. Foster. custodian of the United States secret service, was in Bir- mingham last week, called here to testify in counterfeiting case. MT. Foster is the solution by the government of the problem of handling and disposing of counterfeit money.
 Contrary to the methods employed by the United States revenue officers, secret service men do not destroy the para phernalia of their prisoners on the ground. On the contrary it is carefully preserved and sent immediately to the custodian at Washington. That custodian MT. Foster checks off all the items In the box, makes a duplicate copy of the in voice, marks the box and invoices with corresponding numbers and files it away One copy of the invoice he files and the other he returns to the officer dispatch ing the goods. In this way should the money ever be needed for evidence or any other purpose it is easily located.
 However, owing to the vast amount con fiscated by the government it is imprac- ticable to save the goods over two years, and about once every two years com mittee of three, appointed by the Secre- tary of the Treasury, makes careful survey of the goods in the custody of MT. Foster and selects those outfits which. in the Judgment of the committee are no longer likely to be needed

Preventing Typhoid Fever.


Marshalltown imes-Republican ::
Chicago has very much reduced its
percentage ofstyphoid fever and looks
forward to further reduction within
the city. Three things have secured
this partial immunity: control OF
milk and of water and general educa-
ton along preventive lines. With all
the millions piled in a heap on the
site of the city 1t is stated that the
typhoid rate in the country is double
that of the city.
The milk comes from the country
most of it. 1t is one of the two most
convenient vehicles for the typhoid
germ. Lack of sanitation, careless
ness and filth in dairies are practic-
ally certain to cultivate the bacillus
more deadly than smallpox and SOW
the germs of disease among the
most deadly of modern scourges.
1t is simply common sense protec-
ton of public and individual health to
insist on competent dairy inspection
of all diaries of every place large or
small whence milk is vended. Given
safe water supply, sanitary diaries
and sensible training of children and
their elders as to the dangers of food
contamination by flies and other com
mon carriers of infection there is not
the slightest reason why typhoid
should not be effectually controlled
and epidemics of the disease unknown
