SAVE YOUR NICkELS
European War Has Boosted Their
Value to Six Cents.

New York, July 1S.-The European
war, upon which almost all abnormal
conditions are blamed these days. has
boosted the actual value of the United
States scent piece TO six cents.
Since the war the value of nickel
has gradually risen- This increase
has been due to the great demand
for the metal for the manufa cture of
ammunition and weapons.
Back in the days when the world
was at peace, there was actually about
one and one-quarter cents worth of
nickel in every American scent piece.
The metal value of the piece increased
as nickel became scarcer, until the
worth of the metal has increased
about 500 per cent and now makes
the value of the metal in the coin 20
per cent greater than its currency
value.
