INK KILLS BACTERIA.
Paper Money Made Sanitary AMI
Handling Is Safe.

The United States has unconsciously
been the savior of the lives of hundreds
upon hundreds of cashiers, treasurers,
and others whose duties include the
handling of large sums of money, ac-
cording to DR.. w. c. Rucker, assistant
surgeon general of the Public Health
Service.
In answer to a question as to how
so many professional money handlers
managed to wet their fingers in count
ing germ-laden bills and live to tell the
tale, DR.. Rucker said:
THE answer lies in the formula Of the
ink used in the engraving of the money.
Either by design or accident. the formula
when made is a splendid germicide.
'The Public Health Service was called
upon some time ago to examine the old
money returned to the Treasury after
months of travelling around the country
and passing through all kinds of hands
1t was found that it was comparatively
free from bacteria, and the ink is given
credit for this satisfactory condition of
affairs"
1t is not known to what ingredient of
the recipe for the ink is due the credit,
for the secret Of it's composition Is care
fully guarded by the government.

Mississippian Says Owners Of Facto-
ies May Be Proceeded
Against.

The criminal clauses of the Sherman
antitrust act and the prosecuting pow
ers of the Department of Justice will be
used in defense Of the reductions in duty
prescribed by the Underwood tariff bill
II combinations are found among en-
ployers to restrain trade and intimidate
Congress by cutting wages and closing
factory doors, criminal suits will be in
stituted.
This is the frank intimation of Senator
John Sharp Williams of Mississippi, a
member of the Senate Finance Committee
THE protected interests are coming to
us with the same old plea that they are
threatened with ruin" said Senator Will
Jams They threaten to cut wages, Or
assert that ii will be necessary to cut
them. This is plainly intended to in
timidate Congress II ii should be dis
covered that the interests are combining
TO this purpose. the Sherman antitrust
act is sufficiently broad to cover such
acts. and we may land some Of these
gentlemen behind the bars"
Department VIII Help.
President Wilson and Secretary of Com
merce Redfield have previously made it
known that the inquisitorial powers of
the Department of Commerce will be used
to investigate the economic justice of
cutting wages in industries affected by
ldTill TeuuCllOH
That the Department of Justice should
be brought into play and criminal pro-
visions of the Sherman act employed es-
tablishes new precedent and indicates
tina; the administration is willing Ito go
the limit in protecting the wages of la
borers, and, incidentally, defending its
right to remain in power.
'.Injunctions and criminal actions have
been brought against those who combine
to strike" said Senator Williams. TIE
same instruments may be used against
those who combine to restrain trade by
lowering wages and closing factories. 1t
is a poor rule which does not work both
ways"
Representatives of protected interests
will be heard in private by the sub-com-
mittees of the Finance Committee during
the coming week. The decisions OF the
subcommittee will be submitted to the
entire committee for It's approval before
the BILL as amended, is offered for con-
sideration in Democratic caucus.
This is the programme. whether or mol
public hearings are forced. Democratic
Senators fear that il public hearings are
held the bill may not reach the Senate
floor until July.

Beecher on Blindness.

1t would be a dreadful thing to me
TO lose my sight, to see no more the
faces of those / love, nor the sweet
blue of heaven, nor the myriad stars
that gem the sky, nor the dissolving
clouds that pass over it, nor the bat
ting ships upon the sea, nor the
mountains with their changing lines Of
light and shade, nor the loneliness of
flowers, nor the FURNISHED mail Of in
sects. But l should do as other blind
men have done before me: should
take Gods rod and staff for my guide
and comfort, and wait patiently for
death to bring better light to nobler
eyes. o We who are living in the dark
ness Of sin! turn before 1t Is too late
to the light of holiness, else death will
bring to you not recreation, but retri-
button. Earthly blindness can be
borne, for 1t is but for day; but who
could bear to be blind through eterni-
ty?-Henry Ward Beecher

Legitimate Slang.

The eats "a perfect BRICK" "the
gift of gab' and other such phrases
have been given clean bill of health
as perfectly pure English and have
been extended welcoming hand into
the Anglo-Saxon language by Mrs.
Mary Green Conklin, Radcliffe student,
author and playwright. Following is
partial list of the phrases Mrs. Conk-
lin calls good slang: The eats, bad
lot, played out, go hang, jolly good, all
in, buckle under, going to the dogs, at
sea, go against the grain, pitch into,
gift of CAB, chip Of the old block, ter
ribly cut up, scrape acquaintance, had
an affair, don't care a rap, white
washed, getting on fast, perfect
brick, made hit. Mrs. Conklin de-
clares that certain slang is not only
permissible, but very acceptable, force
full and worth while. She insists that
slang can uplift as well as debase a
language. 1t is the vivid, typical slang
of the street that keeps a language
alive, in her opinion.

Architect of His Own Fortune.

Prof. Armln1uS VamDery, the world s
most famous orientalist, who celebrat-
ed his eightieth. birthday not long ago,
was tailor's apprentice as lad, and
received no education other than that
he was able to pick up. His father
was poor Jew, and the boy had to
work his way. At eighteen he had
already mastered four European Ian
guages, in addition to Turkish, and
then became a private teacher. His
long life in the Orient gave him per:
feet command Of many tongues. At
Constantinople he was counselor to
Abdul Hamid. He is proud of his low
ly origin, boasts of the many books he
has written, cares little for wealth, but
is said to be unusually susceptible to
flattery. For years he has been pro-
fessor of oriental languages at Buda-
pest.

Harvard at Play.

A great joke was played upon Presi-
dent Lowell of Harvard at the recent
banquet for the Harvard football team
by the Boston alumni. A student, clev-
erly disguised and speaking broken
English, was introduced to the "prexy''
as Herr Baron Won Keppel," just over
from Germany. President Lowell lent
himself to the foreigners entertain
ment, recalling other distinguished
foreigners who had shown interest in
the university. When the stranger
asked: What time do they chase the
eats on board?" the president prompt
ly recognized him as a Harvard man
by his university English.-Evening

Lightning uncovers Lead Mine.

Lightning recently uncovered a lead
mine on the farm of William Thacker
in Baxter county, Arkansas. The bolt
struck a hickory tree, ran into the
ground and then divided into six
branches, digging bitches about three
feet deep and eighteen inches wide.
The longest ditch is $50 feet in length
and the others vary from twenty ito
forty-nine feet. At the end of the
longest ditch is hole two feet in di
ameter and two feet deep, from which
a considerable quantity Of lead ore
was thrown out, one piece weighing
four pounds.-Kansas City Journal.

The human organism is able to bear
degrees of heat and of cold that are
astonishing. Sir George Mares and

Begins Service With Detroit
Baptists

Walter ID. Howell. recently OF st.
Paul, Mimi, who has been appointed
director OF religious education for the
Woodward-aye. Baptist church, took
up the duties OF his new position yes
terday. MIR. Howell comes from six
years OF experience in Christian En-
deavor work. He resigned as field
secretary for the states OF Michigan
and Minnesota to come 10 Detroit and
previous TO his secretarial work he
was business manager OF the Chris
tian Endeavor World published in
Boston.
His duties here will consist in a
general direction OF the Sunday
school, b. Y. p L., and social service
work of the church Discussing them
yesterday, he said: The newer idea
is not 70 have a second ordained min
lister as an assistant TO the pastor,
but 10 have a layman who has had
training in religious work TO take
charge of the activities OF religious
education outside OF the pulpit. In
this a layman in even better than
minister, for in some respects he can
get closer TO the people he works
with
Then, too, you know, where there
are two preachers in a church. there
sometimes creeps in a division among
the people as to which one they like
best. The possibility OF that sort OF
thing is done away with under the
more up-to-date arrangement.
AS to particulars in our work here
