United States Treasurer McClung
has recommended in his annual report
that congress provide additional facili-
ties for exchanging old and defaced
United States paper currency for new.
Asserting that there Is widespread
interest which advocates a cleaner
and more sanitary currency, he says
that the sentiment is laudable one
and should be attainable because the
expense is but trile compared with
the beneficial results. 1t has been
demonstrated that bacteria attach
themselves readily to paper money,
and there is no doubt that disease is
thus disseminated. Mr.. Meetings.
crusade for clean currency ought to
find prompt and sympathetic response.

Object Leseson.

A ramshackle building in Winston
Salem was recently burned at the re-
quest Of the local Anti-Tuberculosis
league. because 1T was said to be alive
with tuberculosis germs and could not
be PROPERLY fumigataed.
For days before the building was
burned huge placards announcing the
hour of destruction were hung about
in prominent places. Among other
things the placards said: within the
past Is months two men who sold
fruit. ETC.. here have died of tuber-
culosis. but unconsciously left millions
Of tuberculosis germs by careless
splitting. The building is so open that
1t cannot be effectively fumigated.
The only practical means of dsin-
fecting is by fire."
At the appointed hour, while null
lions Of tuberculosis germs were be-
ing burned. 5000 pamphlets telling
how to prevent consumption, were dis
tributed to the crowd looking on.

NEAT PAPER WEIGHT

There are only two features that 1t
is necessary that paper weight
should contain The one is that 1t
should be heavy, and the other is that
1t should be as ornamental as posi-
BILE. A very capital paper weight can
be made with the aid of any ordinary
empty wooden match box, filled with
shot or small stones. or anything of
weight, and then entirely covered
with some dainty remnant of silk or
satin on which some pretty floral de-
sign has been either embroidered or
painted. When this has been done,
to complete the weight. 1t should be
edged with a fine silk cord. chosen in
some contrasting shade OF color. In

again and 1t spread all over his head.
All the hair came out and his head
was scaly all over. Then his face
broke out all over In red bumps and

hands and arms. l bought several
boxes Of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him. but he got worse all the time.
He had 1t about six months when a
friend told me about Cuticura. l sent
and got bottle of Cuticura Resolvent,
a cake Of Cuticura Soap and box Of
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to i'm
prove. He began to take long maps
and to stop scratching his head. After
taking two bottles of Resolvent, two
boxes Of Ointment and three cakes Of
Soap he was sound and well, and never
had any breaking out Of any kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. l don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuti-
cura.
