DANCED OFF DIET GAINS.
Net Loss Of One and . Half Pounds In
Chicago Squad Due to . Ball.

Chicago. - Dancing and dieting are
not in harmony.
The weighing in" figures Of the diet
squad" which demonstrated that Az
cents worth OF food a day Is enough for
the average individual showed a loss OF
seventeen and a half pounds when com
pared with figures Of the day before.
The answer seems to be that most OF
them attended the annual dance Of the
health department.
Only two members OF the squad
showed a gain. Each gained half a
pound. Comparing weights with those
taken when the test started, seven
members gained ten and a half pounds
but the other five members lost twelve
pounds-net loss a pound and q half
and all because of the dance.

few SMALL COINS
Directors of MINIS Hold Confer
ence to Solve Problem.
INDICATION OF PROSPERITY.
People Among Whom NicksIs, Dimss
and Quarters Circulate Have More
Than Ever Before-Engraving De-
partment Reports Enormous Demand
For One and Two Dollar Bills.

New York.-An unprecedented de-
mand for small coins-quarters, dimes,
nickels and cents-a demand h b Is
daily straining the Of the
United States treasury department,
brought f. III. j. Van Engelken, direc-
tor of the mint, to New York to see IL
something could be done to relieve the
scarcity. He met officials of all minis
here for a conference TO devise ways
and means of turning out enough small
coins to meet the demand.
At the conference were T. w. III.
Shanahan, superintendent of the San
Francisco mint; Thomas w. Annear,
superintendent of the Denver mint; f.
ID. Hawkins, chief clerk of the San
Francisco mint, and Vernon Boyle, SUI
perintendent of the New York assay
office.
"We never before have been confront
ed by such al emergency" said Mr..
Van Engelken, "and / doubt that we
win be able to materially increase the
production. Our two large minis now
are working t~wenty-four hours a day,
while the smallest is on a sixteen hour
shift. They are all at maximum ca
pacity, and their energies are being
concentrated ON the coins of which we
are so short.
Our idea in holding the conference
was to discuss the operation Of the
mints, probably adopting at all of them
suggestions that have proved Of benefit
In one mint. We are now at capacity.
Therefore by the team work which we
believe this conference will produce we
expect to be able to speed up our pro-
duction of small coins. The problem
is growing more p%erplexing every day."
What is the reason for the shortage
in small coins?" the director of the
mint was asked.
There Is only one answer" he said.
"The people among whom the small
coins circulate have more of them than
Eve before. 1t is the result of the ire
mendous prosperity that is getting
down to the people who use coins of
small denominations.
Il talked recently with the head of
the engraving department In Washing
ton. He tells me there is a similar ire
mendous demand for the dollar and
two dollar bills and that this demand
Is increasing as the holiday season APP
proaches. None of them is returned.
They are worn out. Bankers say they
are having great difficulty In meeting
the demand"

AFTER FARMER LADS
STOCK FOOD SWINDLERS OPER-
ATING IN SOUTH DAKOTA.

Aberdeen, Dec. 6.-One of the lat
est schemes to be worked around the
country has been tried near Aber-
deem of late.
A smooth agent finds out the
names of farmer boys who have re-
Gently reached their majority and
whose notes are good at the local
banks. These young men are then
approached and told in glowing terms
of certain formulas which the agent
holds that will work wonders If COM
pounded and fed to the stock on the
farm.
The farmer boy is then tied up in a
deal whereby he buys the formula
for his own use and a dozen or so
others to sell to his neighbors. The
cost of the whole transaction is any
where from $50 to 500.
And there is a great display of the
formula on different engraved parch-
ments, r~esplendent with gold seals,
ribbons and otner appendages to take
the eye. There is also a lot of Sc
rious and deliberate signing of the
same in order TO impress the victim.
In nearly every case these are
schemes TO get the money. as good
stock foods may be purchased any
where. which are all ready to use and
which are the products of responsible
firms.
Solicitors of this kind should be
given a wide berth or looked up care
fully. When they nee get the note
they sell 1t and there is no recourse
but to pay il when due for the farm
er boy.
