the United States Treasury. More than
100000 passes through his hands
every day. This does not mean that he
merely has supervision over a system
of bookkeeping through which $1,000
600 in figures passes each day, but it
means that he actually handles the
money touching 1t with his fingers. or
at any rate watching clerks actually
handle every cent.
Major Quaiffe, as a young man. serv-
ed three years in the army during the
Civil War. When he was mustered out
he came to Washington and got a job
under Francis E. Spinner, the Treasurer
of the United States. He was assigned
to the cash room. Twenty years later,
under President Cleveland, Qualffe was
made vault clerk. He has held that
post for thirty years. during which
time he has undoubtedly handled more
actual money than any other man who
ever lived.
In his first year as vault clerk he
handled $165.730.00O. That was in
1884. Ten years later the flow of
money through his hands had increas-
ed to $241.69S.000. The next two de-
cades registered an equally surprising
increase in the funds that were pass
ing through the nations cash room /;
and in 1918 they passed the billion
mark, during which year Major Quaiffe
directed the course of $1,041 900, 900.
And in all these fifty years that
Major Quaiffe has been handling Uncle
Sans money, not one single cent has
been missing.

New Way to Curl Hair
Without Heated Irons

? Hair tortured with the curling iron
Is bound to become dry, harsh and brit
tie, as so many know from sad expert
ence. It's far more sensible to use
plain liquid silmerine which can do no
wavy effect imaginable 1t takes so
little time to apply the sllmerine and
the hair can be made to curl in any
any style Of hair,dressing. 4 few
ounces from the druggist Will last a

Liquid silmerne is not greasy or
sticky and II doesn't stain or streak
The hair or the scalp
A convenient way to use it is to pour
about two tablespoonfuls into a
saucer and then with clean tooth
brush apply evenly to the hair from
root to tip. If this is done before re-

Anything 1t seems likely to continue
