FIFTY YEARS AGO IN THE STAR


There was so much counterfeiting
fifty years ago that the Secretary of

Plan to Prevent sought the expert
Counterfeiting. n,ovss or the
Treasury Department as to means of
prevention. In The Star of May "a,
1869. is this item:
"A committee of clerks appointed by
the Secretary of the Treasury to ex-
anime into the affairs of the printing
division Of that department. and
which is charged with the duty of
ascertaining the most practicable
means of defeating the skill and in
genuity of counterfeiters. has decided
on a method OF preventing the altera-
ton of the numbers on bonds and
notes. The addition of one or more
figures either before or after the
original number. is a common and
easy mode of destroying the identity
of the note or bond. 1t is proposed to
print on that part of the bond where
the number is placed number of
blue parallel lines. to be inclosed in
brackets, and the whole figure is to
be just large enough to admit the
number"

There il every assurance that both
the State Department and the Depart

There is another handicapped one
which Congress alone can correct.
That is an absolute need for better
salaries in foreign service in order
to get the services Of better men.
From 1910 to 1915 the State Depart
ment was getting some really high
class mon in the consular service (and

As I told you while in Atlanta last month, have been suffering q long time with gas tritis, .ls the doctors call it--really disordered stomach with consequent constipation. pains in the shoulders headache belching, heartburn. loss of appetite, loss of sleep, and faintng spells. For weeks I could not sleep on my back.
 One week ago: upon recommenda- tion of friends who had tried the med icine, I purchased one bottle of Tar lac and began taking it. Since uy second dose I have suffered none of these troubles to which I refer, a'.d really believe I am going to get per fectly well and strong again.
