silver. dollars are held here for their
redemption. Finally, there are out
S3S7, 900 of United States notes.
This paper was issued during the Civil
War and had nothing back of 1t but
the governments promise to pay. AS
there seems no reason for not doing
so, the government has continued for
fifty years to use this extension of its
circulating medium. But in order that
this currency might be placed on a
basis of greater stability, Congress
some years ago put aside $150,000,000
in gold to guarantee 1t.
These three classes of paper money,
with that which national and reserve
banks are allowed to issue under their
own names, make up the total or
paper money in circulation.
With the exception cf the notes
issued by the banks, all these come
through the Treasury cash room. Not
only this, but when bills get soiled or
worn, they may be sent to the Treasury
and new money will be issued in their
stead. This new money, issued in lieu
of old, passes through the cash room
and contributes to the constant stream
of wealth that flows through it.

turing the various years of his serv-

during the various years of his serv-
ice.
In his first year as vault clerk he
handled S165, 100000. That was in
1884. Ten years later the flow of
money through his hands had in
creased to S241,09S,000. BY 1904 the
amount had grown to S637, 900.
Another decade registered an equally
surprising increase in the funds that
were passing through the nations
cash room. They passed the billion
mark in 1913, during which year
Major Quaiffe in his little cubbyhole,
directed the course of $1,041, 900, 900.
This is the measure of the growth in
the use of currency in the United
States in a single thirty years.
1t is withal a considerable business
that Uncle Sam does in transacting
the affairs of the nation. He has o.
500 disbursing officers who are author
lied TO issue checks against this, his
central bank. These orders are issued
against the treasure house at the rate
of 10000 day.
In the matter of pensions alone,
100000 year is paid to old SOL
of it coming from this little cash
room. For the multitudinous task of
distributing the mails of the nation
there are 100000 checks year issued
in payment against this, the Bank OF
the United States.
Billion Dollars i'm Circulation
There is in circulation among the
people of the United States TODAY
100000 in gold certificates. The
public is unlikely to pay sufficient at
tention to its paper money to know
which are gold certificates, which are
silver certificates, and which are
United States notes. But there are
out among the people more than a
billion dollars in gold certificates for
which there is deposited in the
Treasury the actual gold money for Its
redemption.
Then there is out among the people
$474 100000 in silver certificates, and

then Treasurer of the United States
He was assigned to the cash room.
Twenty years later, President Cleve-
land asked Conrad Jordan. another
treasurer, if he could not advance
Quaitfe. The Treasurer obtained
through Congress a new post for him,
that of vault clerk. He has held it for
thirty years. He has undoubtedly
handled more actual money than any
other man who ever lived.
Major Quaiffe took charge of the
money vaults where he now presides
in 1884. He stands at a high table in
a small, low-ceilinged steel-lined vault,
literally surrounded by millions.
The paper money is received from
the Bureau of Engraving and Printing
in packages the size of eight-inch
cubes. There are 1000 bills in each
package. The values of packages de-
pend on the denominations of the
bills they contain. If they are one
dollar bills a package of them is
worth $4,000, while If they are twen-
ty-dollar bills II is worth $4,000.
There is one prize package which is
made up of ten thousand dollar bills
and therefore worth S40,000.000 A
few people who have influence at
hold this twelve-pound package in
their honds and attempt to think in
the terms of the wealth it represents.
Framed Greenbacks
The cash vault has two decorations.
One of them is a little frame which
contains two ten thousand dollar bills
and one five thousand dollar bill The
idea is to show the curious just how
these biggest denominations look, as
few people are ever likely to see, let
alone possess one of them. One of
these ten thousand dollar bills is a
curiosity because it is a greenback no
longer in print. This is the only place
in the world where one of this issue
may be seen.
The other decoration hanging on the
door jam is a statement of the amount

PAINFUL EFFECT
OF
Rheumatism, GOut, Urinary Calculus

1t is now asserted with confidence
that these painful effects due to uric
acid in the system are entirely eradi-
Gated. A new remedy, called 'An-ur -
has been discovered by Doctor Pierce,
which is thirty-seven times more po-
tent than lithia. and is the cause of 4
drainage outward of the uric acid with
which 1t comes in contact within the
body. It will ward off backache, head
ache, and the darting pains and aches
of articular or muscular rheumatism
of those diseases which are caused
by too much uric acid, such as gout,
asthma. sciatica. renal calculus. An
uric" prolongs life because old people
usually suffer from hardening and
thickening of the walls of the arteries
due to the excess of uric acid in the
blood and tissues.
Dr. Pierce, who is director and chief
physician at the Invalids' Hotel and
SUI gical Institute. Buffalo. n. Y, has
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1915-10-01

been testing this wonderful medicine
for the relief of overworked and weak
ened kidneys. The relief obtained by
sufferers has been so satisfactory that
ho determined to place "An-uric" with
the principal druggists in town where
people could get this ready-to-use
medicine. "An-uric" is not harmful
or poisonous. but aids nature in throw
ing off those poisons within the body
which cause so much suffering, pain
and misery.
For Diabetes and Brights Disease
this remedy is building UP a reputation
as good as DIR. Pierces other we'll
known medicines which have been
proven reliable during nearly fifty
years, such as DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription for the ills of woman
hood, Doctor Pierce's Pleasant Pellets,
the liver regulator, and Dr. Pierce's

money such as is breathed by few men
in the world. Major Quaiffe handles
more money every year than will Car
negie and Rockefeller in all their lives.
More than S3,000,0OO a day passes
through his hands. This does not
mean that he merely has supervision
over a system of bookkeeping through
which sS,000,000 in figures passes each
Cay, but that he actually handles it in
cash.
Major Quaiffe, as a very young man.
served three years in the army during
the Civil War. When he was muster
ed out he came to Washington and
got a job under Francis E. Spinner.

AWAITS FULL REPORT
ON PACKERS CASES
Washington VIII Not Act on In
complete Information.

Washington, Oct. l9.-No action will
be considered by the State Department.
in behalf OF the packers whose cargoes
have been confscated by the British
prize courts until more information Is
obtained. While the packers attor-
Eeys already have made vigorous ap-
peals, and have been heard at length,
the information they have produced Is
too incomplete TO permit the depart
ments legal experts to form any judg-
ment.
There are two classes of these cases.
The first includes the four ships whose
cargoes, valued at about $4,000 900,
have already been condemned. The
packers, 1t is understood, will appeal TO
the Privy Council for a reversal, but
they ask the government TO act with
out waiting. Since the cases have gone
into the courts, however. it is unlikely
that this government will act before
all hope Of legal remedy in Britain has
been exhausted.
The other cases are those OF twenty
nine vessels awaiting action by the
prize courts. These could be taken up
at once Dramatically, II the United
States so desired, but the records the
State Department has received are also
far from complete.

Details of Daniels's Plans.
The details of Secretary Daniels's
plans are as follows:
The Bureau of Construction and Re-
pair estimates that, owing 70 the In
creased size and protection of the new
battleships, each dresdnought will cost.
including armor and armament, $751;
100000. A portion of this increase may
also be attributed TO the higher cost
of materials, owing 10 the great de-
mand created by the war. 1t may be
that these prices will be reduced. II
so Congress will not have TO appropri-
ate so much money. Then, again, the
demand for materials entering into the
construction of vessels may continue
70 be as great or greater than at pres
ent, so that the estimates may not be
too high.
81 have recommended in the regular
appropriations an increase OF Sits
$50 for ordnance, in which | have in
cluded $4,000 for torpedo defence

mended an increase Of s286.000 for

struction | am asking for a separate
appropriation of S250000 for the pur-
chase and repair of ships for the naval
militia Of Illinois and Minnesota. In
both of these states the naval militia
is well organized, and their efficiency
depends, in each state, upon securing
proper ship for their cruising and
practising. After consultation with the
governors and officers of the naval mi
