Millions Of Dollars In Wornout Cur.

Small English Village.

A lonely village in Kent, England,
is the scene Of the destruction of ten
tons Of treasury notes every Monday.
The average face value Of the notes
destroyed amounts to S100000,000.
The banks and pOstmasters deter
mine when the life of a treasury note
shall end. If in the opinion of a bank
er or postmaster a note has become
worn out, it is sent TO the Bank OF
England. There a triangular cut is
made in the right-hand bottom corner
of the note, and IL is then sent, In COM
pany with millions of its fellows, to the
chief money order department II the
post office in Holloway.
Every day more than a ton Of de-
funct currency notes are delivered
from the Bank Of England to the mon
ey order department in Holloway. The
notes are then defaced, made up into
bundles Of a thousand and put into
sacks. On Monday the sacks contain

# You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten! The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need Of it.
A prominent druggist says Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation | have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulhlls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle Of
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles
for sale at all drug stores.Advertisement

RIGHT METHOD OF TRAINING
Youngster of Bold Spirit Does Not
Need Curb So Much as lneul-
cation Of Courtesy.

A bold spirit is invaluable, but an
impertinent manner is an abOmination
in a child, says the Philadelphia Eve
ming Bulletin. And parents, uncOn-
sciOusly. are many times at fault, and
actually inculcate holiness in their
little ones, quoting their clever re-
marks while the children are around,
insisting that they "show of" some
accomplishment.
The forward youngster is not apt to
be brighter than the shy one, but he
receives the credit because Of his
readiness TO do and to talk. Perhaps
natures recompense for less ability is
the courage to exploit what one has.
Sheer initiative alone-with, of course,
sufficient ability to back 1t UPS
bound to make a leader.
Do not too summarily curb the
youngster with the bold spirit-rather
train him in courtesy and in common
sense and so teach him the valueless-
ness Of foolhardiness.

Radiophone Music.

1t appears very much as though we
are on the verge of new era in radio

to have radiophOne stations at central
points sending out concert music as
well as speeches and lectures via radio,
and compact and simple radio receiv-
Ing sets In various homes, clubs and
so on to intercept the waves. Already
there are several radiOphOne stations
in operation, and at least one wire
less company has developed receiv-
ing set made i'm the form of a cabinet

loud-speaking telephone unit, so that
the music, speech, lecture or other
