THE ONE CENT PIECE.
And Some Of tho troubles II 10 Now
Making.

The extra penny tax Is making
lot of trouble for the movie shows all
over the country. To make the re-
Iuisitc change at the box office for
thousands Of patrons daily is fright
fully difficult.
The penny famine" is really very
serius matter. 1t obstructs business
The mints in Philadelphia, Denver
and san Francisco, which make all
the minor coins (cents and nickelsJ
are now working "a hours a day
Sundays included, in three shifts.
What has become Of all the many
billions OF copper cents turned out
by the mints in past years" Nobody
knows. 1t is IL mystery. Being OF
such small value. they are mostly
lost. one may suppose. in one way OF
another Anyhow. they disappear.
The cent is not wholly Of copper. II
is 50 parts Of that metal. three
parts tin and two parts zinc-a com
bination that renders the coin Of good
Pennies pass so constantly from hand
to hand. that above all things. ther
must wear well.
The beginning OF Il cent is a
"blank"-a disk stamped out OF d
strip Of metal Of the aforementioned
composition. Until within very recent
years the blanks were purchased
ready made from Il private concern
in Connecticut. now they are manu-
facturcd at the mints.

into a revolving barrel of Eastwood

gold. Indeed, they are more brilliani
and beautiful than gold. Pity II Is
they so quickly tarnish.
To convert them into coins they are
fed into machines that stamp them
on both sides at once at rate of lOo
n minute. AS fast as they receive the
imprints of the dies they drop into
boxes beneath. Then ii only remains
to count them (Which is done a'

Hot Cdffee and the Stomsch.-D

Hot Coffee and the Stomseh.-Dr.
William ]. Mayo OF Rochester. Mimi.
now major in the L. S. army. says
that 80 per cent Of all cancers Of civili-
zed man are in the stomach. and this
condition is uncommon among primi-
tive men and animals. He believes
that many such cancers are caused by
chronic liberation Of the stomach.
DR.. Mayo told the National Session
Of the Clinical Congress OF Surgeons
OF North America that men had cancer
OF the stomach more frequently than
women because man is in the habit Of
taking his food hotter than the aver
age woman takes hers. Woman sits
at the foot of the table and pours the
tea and coffee, serving the men OF the
household first and drinking hers after
IL has cooled somewhat. Among the
Chinese the same rule holds good Of
eating rice. for the women eat at the
second table.
DR.. Mayo said food and drink should
not he taken into the stomach hotter
than can be borne comfortably in the
mouth. for the mouth has sensitive
nerves expressly to protect the door
way to the body. while the stomach
has not.--New York World.

cept to gophers and mice"
Whereupon eastern newspapers
clipped il as a piece Of humor.
But there is very definite food
saving idea here. All over the country
we have harmless snakes, capable Of
rendering the utmost service. provided
they are left alone. But even country
people find il difficult to let harmless
snakes follow. unmolested, a snake )
legitimate business.
There is q certain big black snake
throughout the east common in fields
and around farmhouses. He Is not
ONLY harmless, but whenever one sees
him about the premises he Is dill
gently at work catching mice or clean
ing up refuse. But he looks deadly
enough 10 the inexperienced eye, and
moreover. has an unfortunate curl
osity. When he hears a horse coming
down field row hitched to a culti-
vator, guided by boy. his natural
hat In l.aH u
him 10 raise a quarter Of his length
from the ground and take look, and
nine times in ten the boy stops the
horse and virtually slaughters Mr..
Snake, thus killing a mouser capable
OF catching far more rodents than any
tabby cat.
II is the same with hawks and owls.
The owner OF flock of hens sees an
enormous hawk sailing over the barn
ward and brings. ii down with a rife,
believing that he has destroyed an
enemy. But only two varieties Of
hawks in this country prey upon hens.
and neither of them sails over the
barnyard in that manner, for their
line of attack is stealthy, through trees
and bush.
Likewise, with owls. which are most
persistent destroyers Of small animals
harmful to crops and foodstuffs. There
was a campaign of owl and hawk
killing through the east some years
ago. which went far enough 10 upset
the balance of nature locally and bring
on a perfect plague of mice. When dis
ease reduced the number of coyotes
in the northwest. some years ago. the
farmers joy at what they considered
relief from a pest was soon turned in
to alarm, rs plague OF jack rabbits
and gophers followed. the chief food
OF the coyote.
In the conservation of food we need
these helpers. not merely in war. but
permanently. in the production and
conservation of food.
If the snakes, owls, and hawks were
able TO write and vote. they would
probably undertake campaign OF

used. Soy beans are richer in protein
than navy beans. and far cheaper: ir
fact, only a fourth the price Of nav,
beans bought at wholesale. The soy
bean -four or meal Is admirable fol
bread making, and bread from 1t Is es-
pecially adapted to little children and
invalids.
From manufacturing viewpoint
the soy bean Is of high Importance, az
some products in the way of seeds full
of oils must be obtained to supplement
cottonseed in order to keep going the
present cotton. oil mills in the south
on n decent paying basis, even wher
carefully managed. The peanut, the
SOY bean and the sunflower can thus
be used. but not the velvet bean OF
the cowpea. Cottonseed- manufac.
turers will find the SOY bean dependa-
bic. II leads the cowpea in profits tc
farmers. and Is not nearly so exhaust
ing TO the soil as peanuts. the latter
costing from IS to 100 per cent more
from planting to harvest than the SOY
bean. The latter must be grown
Through the whole cotton producing
area in order to give the oil mills Q
crop. The oil-mill men will
find that the cost Of extraction OF oil
from the SOY bean will not exceed two
thirds that of the cotton seed. Hence
il Is clear that SOY beans must be use :
to supplement cottonseed at the mills
in the south. The farmers can sell the
beans and have all the remaining crop
left for improving the soil or feeding.
The oil mills get from 80 to IS gallons
of oil and 1905 pounds Of meal from a
ton of SOY beans, the loss from clean
ing and evaporating being 120 pounds.
II is important to know that the meal
contains about 80 per cent more nitro
gen than cottonseed and one quarter
more phosphoric acid and potash, 30
there Is no logical reason why soy
bean meal should not fetch something
more a tor for fertilizer than the cot
tonseed meal. It certainly has high
er feeding value and wider usefulness
