it was worthless and would cause
the owner trouble If he attempted TO
exchange it. All doubts as to the
value of the bill were laid at rest
when Joseph E. Ralph, director of the
bureau of engraving and printing,
stated that it was worth $50 and ex-
planned how the note originated.
Just two Of these bills are in circu-
lation. according to II. 0. GraEberg-
the owner, of one-a wealthy mine
owner of Colorado, who brought his
collection of freak" money to an ex-
hibit held recently in Detroit. Both
bills were printed in the bureau OF

The error can be accounted for
said Director Ralph, lin only one
way. The upper end of the plate
prints S100 bills while the lower end
prints $50 bills. The paper is then
turned over and another impression
is taken for the other side. In some
manner the plate was turned the
wrong way for the second impression
and the two bills issued. Although
they passed through the hands o.

SYSTEM IN THE HOUSEHOLD

A f~ireless cooker is a great boon TO
the housekeeper; it saves many steps

cool and pleasant, and above all. cooks
the food thoroughly without loss OF
flavor or danger OF burning.
One of these lavor-saving devices,
even OF the homemade variety, Is as
valuable for keeping foods thoroughly
chilled as il is in conserving heat for
cooking processes, so that it is really
a splendid investment for kitchen
equipment.
1t is becoming the tendency more
