Smaller Paper Bills, Alika In Tint and

8ecretary of Treasury Wants an In
ternational Conference to Take Up
the Project.
Secretary of tht Treararjr Franklin
l(acVeii£li. now al his summer Lome
ID Dublin. N. II., has a big scheme for
reformation of the currency, particu
larly paper money. When he returns
to Washington he wilt make an effort
t9 have the representative financiers
•fed statesmen of other nations meet
•rid discuss for the first time a plan
for the uniform kIzo, color and denom
ination of the currency.
"Money goes everywhere," said Sec
retary MacVeagh, as he sat at hi#
Work in his study. "A nation is
known first by Its currency. The
German, the Frenchman, the English
man, the Spaniard, even the poor sav
•ge, may know little of the United
States, but he may often see and han
dle Its money. And he will judge by
Its money to a great extent. Any one
merely looking at a French note would
Immediately conclude that the French
are a highly artistic and civilized na
tion. Glancing at a five pound note,
•gain, the observer may easily see
tat
the British nation Is not in the
n of the artistic countries, for the
Opmmonplace design gives her away
"JfnmedinuMy.
"I want America to follow the mod
el
of France and giVKi her best work
to her paper money, that the world
may know that we have artists, that
we know art, that w* appreciate It
and that we value it
Big 8uccess In Philippines.
"Some time ago we got out sotnc
Hew paper money for use in the Phil
ippine Islands. The size was. as an
experiment, a new one. It took about
tliree-quartcrs of an Inch off the Ions
4tige and about an inch and three
quarters off the short edge of the pres
ent bills. The success of the bll!s
#as amazing. The natives were great
pleased, and the treasury depart
ment was uuanlmously complimented
fcy Americans, who found the bills su
perior In a vast degree to those In
present use In the mother country,
i: "Ueducing the size of the paper cur
rency means a saving for the United
States treasury. The present adrnluis-.
•ration is making an effort at judicious
«nd justified economy. Economy Is the
watchword in Washington, and I am
determined to see that there Is bo

Our Inherited Love of Mother Nature
Has bred within our blood and bone the strength tucttkc us a luUm oi conquerors and
the leaders of the world's civilization.
From the dawn of spring until did Jack Frost first covers our land there will be
thousands of camps pitched along the pine-clad rivers and lakes of our beloved country.

scheme I shall recommend new
signs—that is, the designs at present
on our I.ills are, of course, too large
and unwieldy for the more graceful
small bills. That means new designs.
Uniform Bill Portraits.
"Then I want the portraits to be uni
form. Every note of a certain denomi
nation shall have a certain portrait on
it, no matter whether the note Is na
tional or bank currency. Thus when
the portrait of Grovcr Cleveland -a
beautiful Innovation of Mr. Cortelyou
is seen every one will instantly know
that the note Is a ten dollar one, noth
ing else.
"A certain color should also indicate
the denomination of a note. Thus
green might always Indicate to a per
son unable to read that the note is a
dollar note red, a two dollar blue, a
Ave dollar, and so on, whatever the
color might be. Another scheme we
are now using at Washington is to
launder the old bills that come in In
stead of destroying them, as hitherto.
The 'laundry' system will enable the
government to keep Infinitely more
new bills in circulation and will make
'the green rag' a thing of the past.
This is an advantage which scientists,
physicians, hyglenlsts and thinking
people everywhere will recognize.
Uniform Currency.
"Above all these changes and Im
provements I am dreaming—and It will
not be long a dream—of having the
big men of the countries of the earth
meet in an International congress to
adopt for the benefit of humanity In
general a new and uniform system of
money. This must at present extend
only to the size and color of the mon
ey. The various standards of money
make anything more seem merely chi
merical.
"At present we will begin with our
own country. Ilaving shown the oth
ers what wo can do with uniform cur
rency, they will perhaps see the wis
dom of our plan and gladly cewKMrt to
an International conference."
Lemons Without Tree*.
Vegetable lemons are the latest thing
In the fruit (or should it be the vegeta
ble?) line. L. J. Schlorff of 1327 Mon
roe avenue. Kansas City, bought some
seeds last spring at a Kansas City
seed store. lie was told that they
would produce vegetable lemons, good
for making lemonade or for preserves.
Mr. Schlorff planted tae seeds, and
two vines which bear nine of the freak
vegetables are the result The vines
resemble those of the cantaloupe, and
the vegetables also look like canta
loupes. They are a little larger than
the ordinary lemon. They have the
v"r of that frul^.

MASTER BAKERS IN SESSION
Thousand Delegates Attend Conven
tion at Minneapolis.
Minneapolis, Aug. 25.—President
Bmon Hubig of Cincinnati, in his ad
dress opening the convention of the
National Association of Master Ba
kers, approved everything the pure
food bureau of the department of ag
riculture had done In reference to the
use of benzoate ot soda and preserva
tives. Nearly 1,000 delegates are In
attendance.
Two propositions to be considered
arc to make loaves of bread weighing
twenty-two ounces to be sold for 8
cents the country over and to form an
auxiliary organization for the pur
chase of Hour in large quaitlties.
MENACE IN MAGAliraca.
Editor Thinks Constant Reading of
Them Will Harm Americans.
Frank Chapin Bray, editor of the
Chautauqua Magazine, In a recent ad
dress at Chautauqua, N. Y., said:
"There is a menace in the maga
zines. The magazine habit may be
come as had as the morphine habit.
Mere desultory reading of magazines
may result in a loss of the power to
select good reading and to think about
it intelligently.
"Carolyn Wells has aptly defined a
magazine n«i a small body of literature
entirely surrounded by advertisements.
Some magazines are playing the ad
vertising game to such an extent that
their productions seem to be made up
of anything that will hold the adver
tising and support a picture of a
vaudeville actress on the cover. There
are notable exceptions, however. In
many cases one magazine one month
Is so like another magazine for an
other month that they are practically
Indistinguishable.
"Careless reading of the magazines
will make us as a nation more hyster
terical than ever before and worse
than the French in not having a back
ground of steadiness and a sense of
proportions. Wc shall lose our power
of thinking."
FARM FOR SHORT SERMONS.
Indiana Clergyman Given Valuable
Land For Concise Preaching.
The Rev. J. M. Williams, a Metho
dist minister at Pine Village, Ind., re
ceived a deed recently for sixty acres
of land worth $125 an acre from Mr.
and Mrs* Rnrgoyne Davis because he
preached short sermons while pastor
of the church which they attended.
Mr. Davis is wealthy and was so im
pressed with the brevity and pointed
cess of the sermons of Mr. Williams
that he determined to make him inde
pendent. The deed specifies the brev
ity of Williams' discourses as the con
sideration received for the land. The
sixty acres comprise one of the most
fertile tracts of land Ia

Many a Mother in Madison
Will Appreciate the
Following.
Many a strong man and many
healthy woman has much for which
thank mother. The care taken durin
their childhood brought them p««t
the danger point and made them
healthy men and women. Children
are generally bothered at some period
with incontinence of urine, and in.
hility to retain it is ofttimes called u
hanit. It is not the children's fanl!
the difficulty lies in the kidneys,
and can be readily righted if taken in
the proper way. A Madison mother
shows you how.
2 Mrs. Fred Warner, formerly living
on South Eighth street, Madison, S.D
»ayo: "Five years ago my little bov
suflered from a weakness of the ki 1
nevs. He became very restless and
often complained of his hack paining
him severely. He seemed to have im
control over the kidney secretion.-,
especially during the night. Not long
ago my daughter also began to Bnfler
from a similar complaint and as I had
seen Doan's Kidnej Pills highly re
commended, I decided to give them a
trial. I procured a box at And«r
son's drug store and the leenlts were
so gratifying that I procured a fur
ther supply. Today my daughter i
completely cursd and my son is stead
ily improving."
