"PROUD AND GLADp
Because Mother Looked So Well
After Quitting Coffee.

An Ohio woman was almost dis
tracted with coffee dyspepsia and
heart trouble.
Like thousands of others, the drug
-cdneine-in coffee was slowly but
steadily undermining her nervous
system and interfering with natural
digestion of food. (Tea is just as In

coffee.)

The FROGS and the Bulls.

A frog one day si,ting at the edge
of pond, saw two bulls fighting in a
meadow. He cried to his companion:
Look at that dreadful fight What
will become of us?'
do not frighten yourself" replied
the other. How can their quarrels
affect us? They are quite different
from us in every way"
Perhaps" said the first frog, Their
life is different from ours: but, as ons
of them will certainly get the better
of the other, he who is beaten will
take refuge here il the marshes and
perhaps tread upon some of us. You
see, therefore, we are more concerned
In their quarrel than you think"

usually the greatest sufferers.

Among the members of a fashiona-

doctor and minister. who delight in

With the gravest of expressions,

appearance OF these notes is that
500, 900 of them is OF the COM
pound interest bearing issue.
A billion and half of gold and
silver certificates and $3.50, 600
of legal tenders are counted as
being in circulation. But in all
probability several millions have
or will be destroyed in some way
SO the government will never he
called upon to redeem them.
Misers and foolish persons afraid
of banks will persist in hiding
money in old stockings, tin cans
or other receptacles where mois-
ture or rats can easily break
through and steal. And there are
those who for a time find stoves
and stove pipes a handy hiding
place until somebody else comes
along and starts a fire, and then
the paper money goes up in
smoke, all to the benefit of the
government.
The government is not only a
gamer by loss or destroyed cur
rency notes and bonds or other
evidences of Indebtedness, but
manages to make quite a snug
little sum in the postage stamp
and postal card business. There
is a very fair profit in postal
cards and stamps, and when one
is destroyed the government is
the gamer and thousands of dol
lars worth are destroyed every
year. 1t is true the government
will redeem cards, envelops or
stamps when presented, but the
defacing is not always done in
large quantities, but in quantities
too small to pay for the trouble of
presenting them at a postoffice
for redemption.
In general people for commercial
purposes prefer paper money to
coin, hence the paper money IS
more in circulation than the coin,
and it wears out quicker and is
more easily damaged beyond

flied the government redeems it,

at the treasury liberal amounts So

Lansing, Mich.-Unless the

ing his decision as to the needs
