some shopping day before yesterday, and
It , does seem extraordinary how one's
money can go. I got one adorable hand

be considered an economy, though, as It
would give me such poise in an encounter

I would much rather It would disappear In
New York than any other place. I db love
It there and I can't underatand where the
people who write articles every now and

speak of. .
It seems to me that every one Is so
polite. Car conductors especially have-been
most kind and policemen have really gone
out of their way to be considerate. The
mounted onea certainly are good looking
sometimes. I have found, however, that
it Is best never to get your different smiles

give your mounted policeman smile to a

Things You Want to
No other branch of the axecutlva service
comes so close to every cittsen aa me
Treasury department It supplies us with
our money and every time we buy any
thing,-from a stick of candy to a farm,
we utilise the machinery of the treasury.
This department manages the finances of
the nation, collect Its internal revenue and
Lite customs duties, pays the expensea of
maintaining the government and at the
beginning of each session of congress ad
vise that bod what money will be needed
for operating the governmental machine
during the year.
This by no means explains the full scope
of the activities of the department. The
War and Navy departments are expected to
protect our frontiers and shore from In
vasion by hostile military and naval forces.
Ths Treasury department protect them
from the Invasion of tariff-dodging Im
ports and the landing et contagious dis
eases from other countries.' Through the
life saving service. It looks after the safety
of people at sea, and through the public
health and marine hospital service It look
after the health of the nation.
In dealing with the publto credit the
Treasury department has to do with one
of the most sensitive things known to man.
Net only I the public credit affected by
fact, but by sentiment as well, and the
eglstenc of even an unwarranted sentl
ment will produce facts sufficient to Justify
that sentiment In other wbrda, no matter
how excellent the condition of the treasury,
If a panicky feeling takes possession of the
people. It will cause the revenues to fall
oft to such an extent that the treasury im
mediately will be embarrassed. The actual
Immediate loss of $lM,aM,M from the
treasury would not affect It as aerlously as
even the most unwarranted panic.
The major portions of the revenue of the
government Is collected by the custom and
Internal revenue services. Sine the
foundation of the government approxi
mately $10,000,000,000 have come Into the
treasury through the customs house of
tb country. Two-third of all the customs
business I transaoted at the port of New
York, where It costs I cent to collect each
dollar of revenue. There are m number bt
other customs houses, some located at lm
portant cities along the coast and along
the frontiers, while others are found at
trailer towns. At Beaufort, N. C, it costs
$1,600 to oolieot $1.66. and at Maryland port
It oosts $1,000 to collect (1 cents. Effort
have been made to aboliih these small
porta, but political Influence has thwarted
them.
Elaborate precautions are taken to pre
vent smuggling. Men conceal diamonds In
secret holes In their shoes, women convert
their bodies Into huge spool for rare laoea
or silks, or sew New York or Chicago tags
on Paris gowns, in order to escape the pay
ment of duties. Vessel owners try to land
dutiable goods at places where there are
no customs house. The Treasury depart'
ment therefore, must maintain a long
string of lookout to frustrate the attempts
of the smugglers. The secret service keeps
a ciTd Index of every known smuggler In
the world and closely follows his move
ment. . Report on all big purchase of
Jewel or other valuable are made to the
Treasury department, and. It officer watoh
for them on every ship that comes into
port The vessel that would land Its cargo
elsewhere than at the porta of entry must
escape the eagle eye of the revenue cutter
service, which patrols the coasts of the
country for the purpose of detecting such
violator of the law. A the government
receive advice of the clearance of all
cargo boat from foreign port bound for
America, the chance of running the gamut
successfully are so small that there are
comparatively few violations of the law
forbidding vessels to discharge their car
goes at other place than through the cus
tom house.
When a person comes Into a port of the
United States tb first official to board
the vessel Is the quarantine officer a rep
resentative of the Treasury department
If all on board have been In good health
and there are no complications, the visit is
not an unpleasant one. But If the vessel

of the traveling public regard It a no sin

endured by everybody. An Inspector tay

Dieting Will Greatly Influence
the Condition of Facial Pores
So many Inquiries have come to me re
cently aa to how large pore of the face
may be ehrunk that th toplo oem worth
a special article.
To tell the truth, frankly, large pores
may be reduced In slse, but the process
which will do It harmlessly Is a long one,
and patience, a well a perverance. Is
required. Those "quick roads" to a deer
complexion are too likely to be fraught
with dangerous results, and I do not sug
gest anything which may do that I wish
this to be clearly understood, and when
the treatment I approv of appear to be
dull and tedlou, at least let It oe remem
bered that It Is not one to repent of later.
Diet has much to do with the condition
of pores of the face. If food I not suited
to the Individual and it Is too rich the sys
tem may try to throw It off by an exuda
tion of oil through the pore. It I thl
which cause oily complexion, and the first
thing to be done by a woman whose face
chronically Is this way 1 to change her
diet radically, adopting uch food as Is
nutritious, .easily digested, and tacking In
grease. This mean milk, eggs, fish, rare
meats, rice, spinach, beans and the llkel
Thick soups, pastries and other food of
that type should be banished, substituting
fruit In its place.
Any change which I to be brought about
through food Is necessarily alow, for It
takes time to eradicate the old condition
and establish the new. Therefore It will
not be In two weeks that a woman' com
plexion will begin to show Improvement,
but more likely not before six month.
Another Important part of th treatment
1 to wash the face carefully every night
before going U bed. If any powder Is left
In the pores they will spread In an effort to
get air, and they muet be relieved of the
need of doing this.
Plenty . of fresh air is also necessary
for the cure. As for external application,

receipts amount to several hundred mil Ilea
dollar every year. It was organised early
In the history of the nation. What the
bank Mil we at Philadelphia or the hit
ting piece at Lancaster, that waa whisky to
the town of western rennsylvanla In ITU. '
A gallon of good rye whisky was worth
exactly a shilling piece, and constituted, f
so aa to speak, the coin of the realm. In that
year a tax of from T to IS cent a gallon
was levied on whisky, and this tag led t
the first resistance against the government
of the United States. These violator of
the law were the forerunner f the present
generation of moonshiner, he present high
tax of tl.lf a gallon make inoonshlnlng a
profitable business, and there are no braver
men to be found than the revenue agent
whoee duty it I to seek out and faring the
moonshiners to Justice.
The most Interesting part of the work of
the Treasury department la Its proc of
keeping the nation supplied with money.
This process In the cast of paper money be
gin with the purchase of the raw
paper and the engraving of the
plate. The paper .1 wad after a secret
formula. The plates are engraved with
most exacting care. The publlo ia not per
mltted to see the engravers at work, nor la
any one engraver permitted to prepare a
whole plate. The money Is never printed
from the original plate, but duplicate are
prepared from it by a mechanical process.
It this were not so. It would be practically
Impossible to detect counterfeiting, Bins
no two plate for printing money of the
same denomination would be exactly alike.
The fin lines on the paper money are en
graved by a machine which haa as many
combinations aa the beet safe look, each
combination producing a different design
and no one bu; the operator knowing these
combination. These line oaa never be
successfully Imitated by hand.
The highest bill printed ha a face value
of 110,000. Few ever come back, aa the
bank prefer them to any other kind of
money. Twelve pound of them take the
place of 1,000 ton of silver in a bank vault.
It coat the government IVi cent to issue
a piece of paper money and redeem it. It
takes about thirty day to complete the
printing of a piece of paper money, and
each bill la counted fifty-two tlroea during
the process.
The main province of the secret eervlce
1 to prevent counterfeiting, although' It ha
many other activities. The best guardian
of the currency are the teller of the bank.
More than nine-tenth of all the counter

them. The counterfeiter take advantage
