Two Packages Are Stolen.

at was under these conditions that
losses were sustained in the National
Bank Redemption Agency. One pack
age of 5000 was stolen from girls
desk at lunch hour. and it was discov-
cred and reported to the Secret Ser
vice half hour later. Later on a
package of $7,i00 was stolen, which
was also reported TO the Secret Ser
vice, but thus far no Roadway has
been made in either case. II has been
the custom to charge losses to the
national banks, but not theftS.
During the war all the young men
between the ages of q and 81 in the
Treasurer'S Office were obliged to en-
list, and il was necessary to fill their
places with whatever help could be Sc
cured. The employees are all under
civil service and protected by civil SER
vice regulation and the law. The
Treasurer cannot discharge any one
on suspicion, although he can transfer
him around. Every possible security
TO safeguard the public funds and Sc
curities has been made. In the Ma
tional Bank Redemption Agency the
money is Cancelled before il is counted.
1t makes il more difficult to count, but

that makes il practically safe from
theft.

Accounting Division. it will be seen
that the loss on account of forgery
and raised checks is a mere nothing,
and especially in the light of the we'll

Typhoid Carrier
Makes Salad

Harrisburg, Jan. IA southern
Pennsylvania woman, locally famous
for her excellent cooking, was found
to be- typhoid carrier and is now
classed and treated as such by the
State Department Of Health officials in
a county OF the southern tier as a re-
suit of chicken salad She prepared for
church supper. The name of the
woman has been withheld by the
State officials and she is undergoing
Il course of treatment even more
stringent than that given Typhoid
Mary Of New York fame
The Gaze has been made Il part OF
the State records by DR.. J. Bruce Nc
Cready. Of the departments division
Of medical inspection. because of the
tragic history. The woman's husband,
three Of her children. four servants,
two guests, and some relatives visiting
her nome have been found To have
contracted the disease. although she
never suffered from it herself. State
officials say the history shows the
woman'S husband contracted typhoid
soon after marriage, and enc of her
sons died of the disease, and the State
officials say they have positive ext
dencc Of typhoid in her system and
can trace every case.
The discovery was made when peo-
pie who had eaten chicken salad she
had prepared for supper were taken
sick. It was the only food partaken
of in common. and the investigation
showed typhoid had followed occa-
sions when she had cooked for such
affairs as public suppers.

THE TREASURER

a Few Thousand Dollars

Washington, Jan. is. - Although
the Treasurer of the United States
had more work during the war than
any other Government official. and al
though his Office was greatly disor-
ganized by clerks entering the war,
he had very few losses. There were
losses amounting to few thousand

day TO permit the correction of the

This, at least, is the way the moyte

For years they have studied tho wants

lie wanted special stars, and tho pro

wanted special directors and the pro

now it wants well-acted. well-directed
well-known stories. and the producerg
are trying to give 1t that. But upon
one thing the public has changed itq
mind. according to tho producers, and
that is the so-called sex lure. 1t has
always followed that.
