NO MORE 5o-cENr PIECES.

According to the treasury depart
Hnent, the half dollar, a fixture of
American currency from time i'm
memorial, is in disfavor. No 5O-cent
pieces were coined last year, as those
on hand amply supply the small de-
rnand. One reason given is that the
50-cent pieces Is often confused with
the 25-cent coin.
Considering the decided difference in
size. this does not seem to account for
the change. Possibly the preference
for small coins is an unconscious ment-
al outgrowth of the struggle against
high cost of living.
Small units Of money may have
some tendency towards economy. A
traveller recently returning from
France. where currency is based on the
franc-about 20 cents-said that the
size Of the unit SO affected her that
she felt much less inclined to spend
five francs than 81. with a nice clean
franc in my pocket l feel almost as
rich as if it was a dollar at home"
she said. An article of clothing offer
ed for 90 francs would seem prohibi-
tive, but SO would have seemed very
reasonable.
The mark in Germany, the shilling
In England, the Ira in Italy, ire franc
In France, coins varying not more
than 8 cents from the American quar-
ter, are the backbone of daily COM
rnerce in Europe. The 25-cent piece
seems to fall into line with these as
the normal unit of small change.

CONFIDENCE

There is a new note hum1ning high
and clear throughout the business
world OF the nation. 1t is~-confdence.
For some time, for several years in
fact, there has been a spirit of unrest.
as James Whitcomb Riley said in his
fanaou Christmas poem, a sort o.
feel in the air.. The mass Of the peo-
pie have been insistent that some
great reforms be accomplished. That
part of the national life which is var
iously designated as big business,
capital" etc, has been opposing these
reforms. The country work working
at cross purposes.
In the past few weeks, however.
there has come a change. Big bust
ness" seems to have caught the spirit
Of reform, n instead OF butting,
against the stone wall Of public opin-,
ion, has decided to cooperate. The
first intimation Of the coming change
was the announcement of the tele-i
phone and telegraph trust that II
would voluntarily obey the Sherman
law. and in fact go beyond the de-
mands Of that law and open its lines
to competitors.
The next information showing the
change of sentiment was the an
nouncement that the shoe machinery
trust was in line with the new idea4
The news that the great money trust"
was to pc dissolved capped the eli,
max.
This change undoubtedly came from,
the discovery that the people were not
demanding anything that was unreas-
enable. The reduced tariff, the cur
rency bill and the presidents state7
ment that the Sherman law was not
to be enlarged but merely amplifed,
proved easy pills to swallow. So easy
in fact that big business seems to like,
the medicine and is ready for more Of
the same kind.
The evidence of this is to be seen on,
every hand. Bankers and business
men everywhere are optimistic and it
now begins to look as though, instead
Of a long period Of readjustment, the,
business OF the nation is to catch the
new stride without a skip and that
1914 will witness great progress along
all lines.

BERLIN news LETTER

Berlin, Jan. 5.-Further movements
upward in the high cost of living are
already in sight for the new year.
Two measures in particular just de-
cided upon threaten to tax severely
the purse of the German housewife.
The privileges Of importing duty
free meat from Russia, by which the
municipalities were able to force down
the price of beef and pork from 2 to
10 cents per pound during the past
year is not to be continued. Further
more, the icemen have formed a
trust, the first act of which is to be
an increase of several cents per 100
pounds in the cost of ice next sum
mer.
The meat privilege, which was avail
able only to municipalities buying for
the benefit of residents, expires March
81. The conservative party, which
wishes to secure for it's agrarian con-
stituents as high returns as possible
for their cattle and swine. fought the
concession to. middle -class and poor
appetites from the start, and now has
brought about the reimposition of the
full duty on Russian meat.
The municipalities of Greater Berlin
ran their meat shops at a loss of
some $35, 600 during the past year. 1t
is probable that other German cities
which took advantage of the law will
show corresponding book losses. For
the taxpayer and resident, however,
the profit from cheaper meat has been
marked.
The Berlin icemen's new syndicate
maintains hat the proposed increase
will be only 2h cents per 100 pounds,
making the price 1874 cents per hun
dredweight, n that under this price
it Is absolutely impossible to manu-
facture or import ice at a profit. This
price, however, is only for dealers
with contracts, rand the consumer
using less than 1000 ~hundredweight
per ear must pay a minimum of 20
cents. The ordinary citizen. Who in

German dental students in more
than a dozen schools are on a strike
for higher titles. They demand to be
known as doctors of dental surgery
and not be restricted to the inferior
classification of neutrality-suspicious., u
which now prevails in Germany. The
| strike includes the dental depart
ments Of the universities of Berlin,
Leipsic, Halle, Bonn, Heidelberg, Mar
burg IN Greifswald, where the
students refuse to continue their
studies unless they are given the
coveted title.
The high-grade and highly re-
munerative dental practice in Ger

cap Of this title for what is left. The

HOW TO SAVE.

The Saturday Post has a uniqu
suggestion for saving for the man VIII
is always one jump behind his incom,
The Post says:
We suppose, at a rough esti-
mate, there are fifty thousand ur-
ban families in the United States
that never saved a cent in their
existence who could buy some
n pay for 1t before next Christ
mas.
The chief characteristic Of your
sp~endthrift is that he always gets
things first and pays for them
afterWard. He planks down the
last installment on his winter
overcoat two weeks after pur-
chasing his summer suit. The
winter coal bill Is disposed of only
when a nice little ice bill has be-
gun to accumulate.
Yet unless he has d~egenerated
into a deadbeat he does finally
pay for everything he buys-at
least up to eight months before
his demise-the bills which accu-
mulate in that last lap coming out
of his life insurance. He was not
born ~forehanded. but backhanded.
He Is so unfortunately constituted
that his monetary legs will oper-
ate only on an upgrade.
An. experienced banker thinks
that this constitutional defect
may be turned to good account.
he advises the backhanded man
to ascertain the price of the cost
iiest luxury he might possibly pay
for in the current yearly turn
Ing his corners so fast that about
payday he would resemble a SOUR
rel in a wire cage-then to visit a
sympathetic broker, with a good
letter of introduction, and buy a
bond of the same amount. to be
paid for in the same installments
he would otherwise have applied
to some non-productive purchase.
At the end of the year, saws the
banker, he will own the bond.
which he can put up as collateral
Tor the purchase of another bond,
to be paid for in insta1lments the
next year.
1t sounds fairly plausible and we
recommend all backhanded read
ers to try it. The only question
IS whether q spendthrift would
meet the payments-unless he
were buying something he really
could not afford.
