JUNGLE SAM OWES
 MANY PEOPLE
 Thousands of Checks Have Never Been Presented for Payment

From the New York Times.
 The reported loss of many thousands bf dollars by the sinking of the Ti- Panic a few months ago, calls attention ko the fact that the government of the Knitted states frequently benefits by Inc misfortunes of theapeople. says the National City Bank in its July circular I[t never can be known what amount or Knitted States money went down with he Titanic but, whatever the sum, the req asury department has so much addi- kional to it's credit as it can never be presented for redemption.
 A week rarely or never passes that {he treasury department does not re- eeive for redemption a number of pack hges containing money that has been partly destroyed by fire, and in all Eases where the bills can be satisfac- ! zorily identified new money is issued Therefor; but frequently only portion bf the bill remains, and in that event. I If three fifths of the note can be identi- Fled the full face value is returned to khe owner. but if less than three-fifths k.an be identified only one half of the kalue Is returned. These losses by fire Aggregate each year very large sum, but what has become of the millions of Ilollars of which there is no trace, Is Ian unsolved problem. Treasury off, ficials speak of the great fires that in Fears past have swept Chicago, Boston, Ban Francisco, Baltimore, and other |.ities, and estimate that many millions must have been lost in these great con- |lagrations.

WHITE MAN TURNS BLACK
Fifty Physicians Unable to Offer
 Remedy for Remarkable Disease

From the New York Press.
 Afflicted by a mysterious malady which has baffled more than 70 St. Louis physi- clans who have been called in consulta- tion, s. A. Hendricks, farmer. 65 years old of Van Buren, Mo, is turning black in the Mayfield sanitorium at Taylor ave nue and West Belle place.
 Five months ago the mans skin was fair and rudofy. Today his complexion Is several shades darker than that of a mulatto and rapid change to black is carrying him through successively darker shades. The change is so swift that it can be noted from day to day by the phy- sicians, who are powerless to stop it. or even to find a satisfactory explanation for the strange transformation.
 When Hendricks was taken to the hos pital on July 25 last he weighed 190 pounds. His present weight is 95 pounds.
 One thing which puzzles the physicians is Hendricks spirit and will power, de- spite his weakened physical condition. He begs that he be permitted to go out and seek employment. Sometimes, when told that he cannot do this, he smiles and says:
 Well, I guess I couldn't get white mans job, anyway. They'd take we for negro
 His attendants say they are sure any one who was not familiar with his strange pathological history would take him for a negro, though he came from untainted Anglo-Saxon stock. Five months ago. when at work on his farm, Hendricks felt a sharp pain in his abdomen This was quickly followed by muscular pains throughout his body. After several sleep less nights he called a physician.
 Even then his color had begun to change From the rutidy glow of health 1t passed through successive shades of yell low. The country doctors diagnosed the malady as acute billiousness. Their treat ment relieved the pains, but could not check the darkening of the skin.

for only few cents, they also have been kept for souvenirs.
 Many people who received govern ment checks in payment of interest on live bonds see into be very careless or not in need of funds. as large number of these checks have never been pre- sented for payment. One party alone Is known to have in his possession an az gregate of many thousands of dollars represented by these checks, and all though frequently importuned to pre- sent them for payment, he has so far neglected to do so.
 An investigation recently made by the Secretary of the treasury discloses the fact that many national banks are hold CTS of these checks. and the treasury now has the names of over 100 national banks who have thus far neglected to present them for payment.
 This failure on the part of any such check holder to present them has caused the secretary to issue an order to the effect that when such interest checks remain unpaid for more than three full, fiscal years, the holder will be required to prove his right to them. In addition. 1t Is probable that new checks will have to be issued covering the amounts of the old.

tender notes, which were used in pay ment of all government obligations, in cluding the pay of the armies in the field. At this time there are still out standing over s3.000,000 of these notes in the denomination of $1 and $2 alone which are never heard from, except now and then a stray bill or two is pre- sented for redemption. It is fair as- sumption that large percentage of the whole $3,000,00 has been accidentally destroyed, and this is undoubtedly pro- portionately true of all of the old is- sues.
 Soon after the war began the govern ment issued from time to time an ag- gregate of nearly $269, 000, ,000 in frac- suoDal paper money, and something over s15,000,000 Is still carried in the treas ury accounts as outstanding. although only a few hundred dollars are pre- scented each year for redemption.
 As far as these old war-t time shin plasters' come in the treasury destroys all of them that are much mutilated and worn. but they are never paid out again other than in small amounts and in exceptional cases. The treasury now has hand only about $246 of these small notes. In 1870 the department, recognizing the fact that comparatively few of these old fractional notes would ever be presented to the treasury, di- rected the segregation of a fund of something over $S,000,000 held in the treasury for the redemption of these notes, the amount to be applied to the payment of war pensions Large sums of this issue are no doubt held by col lectors as souvenirs.
 Of the civil war issue of compound interest notes which amounted to nearly S267, ,000,000, there still remains out standing approximately $160,000 and of this issue only s70 came to the treasury last year. Of the issue of seven-thirty notes running from 1881 to 1895, which totaled about s97O 000. 900. there is still outstanding $130,000, and only s10O in these notes was redeemed last year.
 Of the war time demand note issue of $60, 900, 900. a total of $53,000 is still un- accounted. for. and none of this issue has recently been presented for redemp- tion.
 During the issue of the Spanish war loan in June and July, 1908, about 235,- 900 government checks were sent to subscribers for small amounts of these bonds, which represented the interest due from the daet of its receipt until August l, the date of the bonds, and over 10000 of these checks have never been presented for payment. It Is as- sumed that as nearly all of the checks were for small amounts, some of them

Mother of Four Didn't Know It

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
 While four tiny mites of humanity are fighting for their existence in incubators at the Dorchester Cottage hospital, the mother Mrs. F. H. Seely of 60 Sawyer avenue, is slowly recovering her strength, ignorant of the fact that she has more than two babies.
 For the present the physicians have considered 1t safer not to excite the mother by telling her that she has quad- ruplets.
 Miss Flora Welch, matron of the hospi- tai. said today that this is the second pair of quadruplets born in Boston. On June IS, 1910, woman at the Homeo- pathic hospital gave birth to four chil- dren, three girls and a boy. and all four expired a few hours later. E The Seely babies are now entering on the third day of their existence. and, as they seem normal. hopes are held out for them. The auadruplets are kept in q baby incubator and every two hours are taken out and fed.

Diamonds Just as Safe and More Profitable Than

This is the Loveman, Joseph & Loeb safe guarding guarantee.
 From point of investment noth- ing could be more profitable than the purchase of Diamonds honestly represented; Diamonds that are naturally increasing in value ev- cry year; and Diamonds you can buy from Loveman, Joseph X Loeb at an average saving of 10 per cent less than the current diamond market.

EARLY CULTIVATION is BEST
Applying Mulch to Soil Prevents Bed

Shallow cultivation Is the same in
effect as applying a mulch to the soil,
as II prevents the bed from becoming
dry, and enables it to absorb all the
moisture from light showers and
dews.
For May plants such cultivation
will be sufficient without watering,
but others, notably dahlias, must have
plenty Of water. Soap suds from the
waCh are excellent for dahlias, and
should be applied by the pailful to
make sur OF reaching the roots. This
matter Of watering, right down to the

to do that it will be better not to wa
