STAINLESS DOUGH

To avoid the contamination of the
deadly germs that are reputed to Turk
in the currency of our country a large
business house has adopted the idea
of slipping the $40 and other bills
used in making change into individual
envelopes made from waXed paper.
This will permit the bill to be ex-
amined as easily as if it were fully
exposed and yet it is safe from the
contact of the fingers. The pernicious-
germs that make the handling of
money so hazardous do not get to the
light. There is suspicion that these
germs have been overworked. Few
persons object to taking money be-
cause of the parasites it carries. This
in spite of the story about the man
who had to have his arm amputated
after clinging too long and lovingly
to a IS bill. In that case the doctor
did not hesitate to take the bill as
a part of his fee for the operation.
Newspaper men will continue to take
chances on the currency germ. We
will accept money either in a waxen
overcoat of without. 1t all looks pret-
ty good.

HOLDING POST MORTEMs

Three years after the war is over
United States Senators are devoting
their time to investigating rumors of
violent and illegal actions on the part
of American officers toward some of
their men. For some months two or
three millions of strong and frequent
ly quarrelsome pen were thrown to-
gether in various ways. All of them
were armed. Turn 100000 armed
men loose in New York for year
and see how many killings take place.
The wonder of it is that there were
so few ignoble tragedies when the
opportunities and excuses are con-
sidered. Surprising Germany were to
Investigate cases of cruelty or in
justice on the part of German Off
GERS toward their men. The quiz
would run until judgment day.

PERILS OF THE HOME

The former king of the New York
handbookers and once proprietor of
thirty-six gambling houses in Gotham
is now one of Billy Sundays asso-
ciate evangelists. After more than
twenty years Of = dallying with the
pasteboards and the betting ring he
has crossed over to the Lords side
and is now plucking the brands from
the burning. He was one Of the in
Iteresting speakers at the Laymen's
Evangelical Conference held recently
in Louisville. He delivers his mes
sage in the blunt Billy Sunday man
ner and knows all about he'll through
having run a dozen or so of them
himself. He declares that all the
policemen in the world couldn't sup
press gambling. He says:
"The fault does not lie with the
underworld. The underworld is a
result. The fault lies with the homes
with the home life of church
members. There's where the re-
cruits for the city's hellholes are
prepared. During the twentyyears
! was in the game l found that
about all the men and women who
filled my houses and bet themsel-
YES into ruin were the product of
the homes where card playing was
encouraged. It's across the friend
ly poker table or in the bridge game
that Satin puts his fiery brand on
the young men and women of
America. It's in the so-called
Christian homes that the gambling
fever begins. The underworld isn't
irving to drag innocents down. 1t
doesn't have to. The homes are
turning out more recruits than they
can possibly handle. They can't be .
chased back with an AK. They've /
been given their education by their .
parents. They've got their worldly .
wisdom at the dances, card parties .
and other social diversions which !
feature modern social life. There is
nothing in the underworld that can
furnish them any surprise and they
are more likely to start a redder
one Of their own
This reformed gambler is very en-
1hatic in his assertion that the Ameri-
IAN home is not doing its duty by the
rising generation. Through its care
essness or positively criminal en-
enlargement it is creating a class who
nave no purpose in life save the salts
faction Of their own feverish pas
,iOns.
When a gambler throws away his
coils and turns to the light it is quite
he usual thing for him to give the
American home a slam for not pro
riding the right thing in the way Of
IN education which would keep the
.eet Of the young in the right path.

INCOME TAX BLANKS

The day draws near when Uncle
Sam will send me bughouse blanks, on
which to state how rich | am, what
coin I've in the banks. Already this
disturbs my dreams and makes my
days seem vain; those income blanks
are simply. screams that drive man
insane. | pay lawyer princely sums
to get my blank made right; | send
it in, and back it comes; I'm told it is
a fright. | hire an expert who has
filled tax blanks for years and years
he's an accountant doubly skilled, and
he allays my fears. This time" he
says, "your blank will pass the closest
scrutiny, or | will eat a pane of glass
just leave it all to me. I've filled
up blanks for millionaires, and cor
porations, too, and l am wise to all
the snares that mark the revenue"
And so he fills up every space, and
doftly plays his game, and sets the
figures all in place, and has me sign
my name. And so | send the blank
away, and feel a great relief, and like
a colt | dance and play-but all this
joy is brief. The blamed old blank
comes back again from some official
chap, who, with a fierce and caustic
pen, reviles me for sap. l don't
begrudge the tax pay to help my
native land, but hope to see, on some
bright day, a blank I'll understand.

Cast all thy care on God. See that

back. Never brood over thyself;
never stop short in thysele; but cast
thy whole self, even this very care

Be not anxious about little things,
If thou wouldst learn to trust God
with thine all. Act upon faith IN
little things; commit thy daily cares

lived In Groton. Massachusetts,. and
was the grandfather of Colonel Will
liam Presott, the hero of Bunker

torian, was a grandson of Colonel

ing fact that the coat of arms borne
by the family Of John Prescott
showed three owls. while the shield
was an arm holding In the hand a
beacon light. This Is thought quite
appropriate for a family having pro-

OF James Prescott, this family bore
different coat OF arms, the one
that was granted 10 Sir James Of
