OVERLOOKED PIN HOLES

Not for the first time in the Bank of France worried by counterfeit notes so cleverly forged as almost to defy detection. It went through an alarming experience of the kind in the reign of Louis Philippe, when an adventurer happily named Gate bourse put 500 1000 franc notes in circulation in single month. He fared sumptuously, entertained ex- travagantly and had even the au- dacity to offer hospitality to the governor of the bank, who told him all about the forgeries and admitted that if the forger were not soon caught the bank would find itself in Queer street.
 Two days later Gatebrouse walked into the bank and presented one of the notes, but there was one detail which he had overlooked. It was the custom in those days to pin notes of that value together in packets of ten. The cashier looked for the pin bricks and, failing to find them. summoned the police, who arrested Gatebrouse, with the result that he was presently sentenced to penal | servitude for life.
 Another successful forger from | whom the Bank of France has sui fered was a certain M. Barrot who | happened to be on intimate terms with highly placed official of the | bank. M. Manceau.
 How on earth" he asked his friend across the dinner table. dc | you know a forged note from a gen.
 uine one?" His attention was drawr
 to a minute flaw in the genuine notes
 which the cashiers were taught tC 1 look for.
 Armed with this information. M
 Barrot proceeded to forge notes il
 which the crucial flaw duly appeared | but his run was, nevertheless 2
 short one. The forgery was not, af- l ter all, quite perfect, and M. Man 1 ceau came to the conclusion that the | forger could be no other than the gentleman to whom he had been SC | indiscreetly communicative. Ht
 therefore paid him surprise visit
 in the company of the police, anC
 caught him in the act of forging nor, | notes. So Barrot also got life sen

These speeches. reprinted from the Record could be sent in pamphlet form with out postage as the franking privilege is allowed on the Record or reprints from it.
 Another use which ingenious con- gressmen seon found for the Record was to print material which interest ed them for some reason Poems by constituents, long tables of statistics. striking articles from magazines and newspapers were once crowded into the Record regularly. Of late years, this practice has been laughed at by representatives themselves, and fav- orite poems of congress are rarely seen.
 Still, whatever congressman wishes to print. goes. Senator La Toilette on one occasion saw fit to insert in the Record a speech that ran 565 pages, The senator had favored congress with only the first few pages orally. The suggestion of censor over congress has never been toler- ated, but never has congress been so besieged by economy at every point as now

 Care of the teeth should begin in earliest infancy, for proper attention to diet at this time has marked in fluence in the development and char acter of the teeth.
 When the baby comes into the world it is apparently toothless.
 Nevertheless. at this time the first teeth are practically completely formed, lying beneath the gums. Un- der these first teeth there are al- ready the beginnings of the perma- nent teeth. These teeth cannot de- velop as they should if the body is not supplied with sufficient amount of the necessary building material.
 Hence, in the food for the child We should look especially to that part which builds bony structure. The two most important of these are phosphates and lime, and for the growing child there is no better source Of these important elements than milk.
 After infancy the diet of every child should include a glass of milk with each meal, and in addition to this. there should be other sources of mineral salts. such as fruits, green vegetables and pure water.
 Food should be presented in such form that it will require chewing For this reason the diet should in- clude certain amount of coarse ma
