BIG PROFITS MADE
IN COMING MONEY
In Forty Years Uncle sam Has Gain
ed S2O5.3S5,272 by Mint
OnPratiOns

Washington.-It is fact, perhaps
not generally known. that the seign-
forage or profit, which has accrued
to the government from the coinage
of silver. nickel and bronze pieces
during the last forty years has am
ounted to S2O5,3S5.272. This is APP
proximately four-fifths of the entire
cost of the Panama canal to date
says the National City bank of New
York in its latest circular.
The profits can best be understood
by the statement thai the cost of cop
per from which cents are made is
now about IS cents a pound. and each
pound coins l46 cents. The cost OF
nickel from which scent pieces are
made is 80 S5-lO0 cents per pound.
each pound coming 80 nickels. That
is to say. the government realizes
about $3.50 on the expenditure of less
than "a cents. Fine silver is now
quoted at from 60 to 6l cents an
ounce. which yields $1.3S in coin.
OF course, the cost of the minting
of coins of the United States must be
taken into consideration when calcu-
lating the net cost and profits of the
government. but as compared with
the gross profits resulting from coin
age the cost of minting is inconsid-
erable.
The net profits on silver from 1878
to 1909 were $157, ,467,155. The year
following the profits were s2,46S.6S5,
and in 1911 they were sl,91O,671,
and for the year 1912, ended on July
of this year, the profits were S4,-
567S2S. making the net profits on the
coinage of silver for thirty-four years
Sl66.414.SS6. The seigniorage on mi
nor coins from 1872 to 1911 inclusive
was $3S,97O.9S6.
Although the profits accruing in
the government on the coinage of
silver, nickel and bronze pieces since
1872 have been in excess OF S205 OOO,-
600. the coinage of gold has entailed
small loss.
The amount of United States mon
ey of all kinds in circulation on July
1. 1912. was $S,276,7S6,6lS, which
gives, according to the treasury esti-
mates. circulation per capita OF
s34.26. This is based on popula-
ton of 95, sec, 600 in continental Unit

YOUR CRAY HAIRS
QUICKLY VANISH
A Harmless Remedy Made
from Garden Sage, Restores
Color to Gray Hair,

A feeling of sadness accompanies the
discovery of the first gray hairs which
unfortunately are looked upon as heralds
of advancing age. Gray hair, however
handsome it may be, makes a person
look old. We all know the advantages
of being young Aside from the good
impression youthful appearance makes
on others, simply knowing that you are
Hooking fit" gives one courage to
undertake and accomplish things. So
why suffer the handicap of looking old
on account of gray hairs, when simple
remedy will give your hair youthful
color and beauty in few days time?
Most people know that common gar
den sage acts as color restorer and
scalp tonic as we'll. Our grandmothers
used "Sage Tea" for keeping their
hair dark, soft and luxuriant. In
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy
we have an ideal preparation of Sage,
combined with Sulphur and other valua-
BILE remedies for dandruff, itching scalp
and thin, weak hair that is split at the
ends or constantly coming out. A few
applications of this valuable remedy
will bring back the color, and in q short
time it will remove every trace of dan
druff and greatly improve the growth
and appearance of the hair.
Get a fifty cent bottle from your
druggist today, and notice the difference
in your hair after a few days treat
ment. All druggists sell it, under guar
antee that the money will be refunded if
! the remedy is not exactly as represented.

7 PLAYERS ARE HELD
BY BEARS FOR NEXT
SEASONS TEAM

Seven of the local club of the Trl-
State league will be held by the man
agement for the nucleus of next years
organization. according to announce
ment of Secretary doc" Crews OF the
Garden City Baseball club, says the
Walla Walla Bulletin. Four players
were sold to Spokane. Crews has
written Secretary Farrell of the Ma
tional association apprising him OF
the action taken by the local club.
The players who are reserved are
Captain bib Bruin" Brown, Pitcher
Kelly. Firstbaseman Thompson, Sec
ond Baseman Jones, Third Baseman
Childers, Left Fielder Martini and
Center Fielder Harmon. OF these, II
is probable that Thompson and Jones
will not report next year, as both said
before leaving they would not play
again.
The four sold are Leonard and
Bridger, pitchers, and Shortstop Da-
Wis and Right Fielder johnson. Both
the latter will probably play with the
Bears next year. but it is doubtful if
either of the twirlers will be sent back
by Joe conn.
This will give one pitcher, a catcher
the entire outfield and two men on
the infield for nucleus. Three
pitchers, and a first and second base
man must be found
1t is highly probable that an out
fielder will be sought to take john
sons place in order to move him to
first base If a heavy hitting outfield-
er. who could also receive in pinch
could be located. it would strengthen
the team. For Johnson plays whirl-
wind game at the initial corner.
There will be little trouble at second
base, for Cohn will have an army OF
recruits here in the spring, many OF
whom he will not be able to use. The
three pitchers will also be secured in
this way, 1t is probable.

ACCEPT OLD CUSTOMS
IN LONDON OF TODAY
RcfOrmers Fear to Disturb Ancient
Privileges Accorded PERSONS.

w
Privileges Accorded Persons.
LOndon.--Some peculiar privileges
are granted to London officials by
law or custom. There are certain in
stitutOns which cannot be interfer-
ed with. They have survived for CEN
turies. Traditions cluster round them
and the bold reformer has no chance
with them. Nowhere are customs
and privileges which have ancient
sanction more jealousy guarded than
in the City of London, and none
cling to their privileges more tena-
ciously than the livery men. These
privileged citizens, of whom there are
about 1000, have great deal to DO
with the election of the lord hlgh
mayor and sheriffs.
The Watermen's and Lightermen' s
company clung tenaciously to its priv
ilege embodied in a charter granted
at a time when royal progresses were
made in barges, Of issuing certificates
to those who had qualified as water
men. 1t was contended that they
had abused their monopoly, that in
their zeal for trade union solidarity
they did not scruple 10 hold up the
commerce of the river and the city
suffered.
The most privileged parsonage in
the City of London is the lord mayor.
He takes precedence over every sub
ject of the crown, not excepting mem
bers of the royal family, in the
i'suuare mile"
Members of parliament are not
without their special privileges. They
claim exemption from arrest on civil
process during the parliamentary ses-
$ on or for a period of forty days be-
fore and after. Members of the house
of lords also have this right and peer
esses may put forward this claim. A
unique privilege is claimed by LORD
Forester. who has in his possession a
grant of the time of Henry VII, CIV
ing to John Forester, Esq, of Wat
ling street. County Salop, the priv
ilege of wearing his hat in the royal
presence"
