Beware Cheap Bills.

An examination OF paper currency
by Warren II. Hilditch of Yale showed
an average of one hundred and forty
two thousand bacteria to the bill
Twenty-one bills were examined, and
while some were relatively clean, car
rying only triiie OF fourteen thou
sand living things. others swarmed to
the figure OF five hundred and eighty
six thousand. And, strange to say, the
bacteria did not seem to swarm to
the $1,000 bills in preference to the
81 bills.
This shows that 1t is far healthier
to carry $1,000 bills about than it is
to tote 81 bills. Here is valuable
financial hint.

There was one thing about the

neglected by the average tourist.
One cold morning in March before
breakfast two jinrikshas ratified UP to

to be rivals. One skins along, ap.

on the cushioned seats relieved to get
away from the deafeninS clatter Of

Our carriage was divided into two
