A Coin.

In these times. when every little
that can be saved on the living ex-
penses Of the poor counts. would sug-
gest that the United States govern
ment coin a half-cent, which would be
of great benefit to these who must
count every cent CT expenses.
For instance. if one wished to buy a
half-pound of coffee, at % cents a
pound, one would be obliged to pay 10
cents; with a half-ceat piece in use
there would be a saving of half a cent.
There are many other things, too nu-
merous to mention, that could be
bought by poor people, especially
fruit. One often sees apples and ba-
nanas sold two for enc cent. If a poor
person had a half-cent he could buy
one, when he did not need two.-New
