ThQ bureau of ensravlnp and printing
In Washington easily ranks first among
Undo Sam's monoy-maklng enterprises.
A plant which annually produces ap
proximately a billion and a halt dollars
In paper money, besides a variety ot
bonds, Btanijw, etc., worth millions, is
an Industry ot surpassing Importance.
On an Investment of $3,CM,000 Undo
Sam produces an article the faco value
of which is redeemable at the gigantic
sum of $1,443,820,330, or very closo to 400
times as much. It would require moro
than 100 horses to haul the annual out
put of money, while if 'that amount wero
spread out ,it would cover a quarter of
tho entlro District of Columbia. During
the process of manufacture tho money
Is counted sixteen times. In almost every
instance by different people.
TaHlhg the bureau In connection with
all Its work, that is, tho manufacture
of money, bonds, postage- and'-revenue
and customs stamps, tho yearly output,
is stupendous. The value, of all' this for
a slnglo year, taking last year ,as tho
average, would bt closo on to $2,000,000.

Is more than 2,000 tons. Moro than 4,000
people are employed- in making theso

puper will talce nn Impression, it must
bo pliable enough to sink Into tliu plato
Hues. It is for this reason .that tho
paper hart been moistened. When first
received th6 paper Is stiff and wiry, but
becomes soft upon being wet. The first
printing Is that of the hacks. At each
machine are a printer and a helper, tho
former being a man and the latter a
girl. After a sheet has been printed It
is removed from tho plute and placed.
printed face down, with the sheet coming
next placed printed face up. Thus tho
two printed sides como together, and
tissues aro placed between even- two
sheets to provenl smearing.
When 2C0 sheets havo been printed they
aro removed and taken to the drying
room, whero they aro placed loosely in
shallow compartments, and at tho end of
tho working day heat Is turned on this
room, tho doors of which aro securely
closed. Tho heat Is turned off during the
night, In order to permit tho room to cool
sufficiently for the employes to work In It
the following morning. After tho sheets
havu been dried they nro examined, in
order to detect any that havo been badly
printed, and tho tissues aro removed. The
notes printed during the day ore placed
In the dry room that same n'ght and ex
amined tho next day; thus two days are
milled to tho four required In the wet
ting room. Of course, addltlonnl tlmo
may havo been lost between tho wetting
room and printing room, according to the
time which elapsed befora certain piles
of paper wero needed In the printing
room. Such waits as this uso up the
eleven days In the various processes of
manufacturing the money.
The SitoihI Operation.
After the backs havo been printed, the
sheets dried and examined and the tissues
removed, tho paper Is again sent to
the wotting room. And here it. Is again
put through tho wetting procoss. And
aga'n from horo It goes to tho printing
room, this tlmo to have tho faces printed,
after which tho uamo work of drying,
examining nnd removing the tissues
is repeated, tho entlro work of making
u noto havliir required twelve days' ac
tual work thus far.
Tho noxt step Is that of sizing tho
sheets, a process which Is among tho
most interesting ot all thoso connected
with' tho making ot money. Tiie Work of
siring Is done In a little room In -the
bastimcnt. On one side. are.,Uireo. largo
brass kottlef, whllo in the middle of the'
room is a rowof machines somewhat re-,
scinbllng washing machines. In tho ket
tles is a frothy, white BUbhtance, forced
by iV series of-pipes through the muchlnes
and back into tho kettles again, thui
making an ondles flow. Tho substance
Is glue. To ISO pounds of animal glue 510
gallons of water uro required, to which
is added twenty-seven pounds of alum.
Tho rwiultant substance gives to tho
printed notes tho samo body whloh the
paper had bwfore going through tho two
wetting processes. On account of be
coming dirty through contact with the
printing ink a fresh supply of gluo has
to be mado every two days. Ueforc leav
ing tills room the notes are recounted.
After leaving tho sizing room tho sheeti
aro pressed and trimmed, following wliicn
they uro ready to be taken to the room
in which they are numbered, the final
step in converting blank paper Into actual
money. lit the samo room they receive (

become a familiar accessory of Washing
ton's well known money plant. Tho work
of sizing, drying, pressing and trimming
requires ona day. for each, whllo three aro
required in tho numbering, scaling nnd
separating' room, theso seven days added
to the twelvo previously accounted for
making nineteen. This length of time,
together with tho cloven days taken up
between times, making tho thirty, or tho
tlmo necessary to tho production of tho
note. Nearly 1130,000,000 is in tho bureau
vaults rendy to bo supplied to tho treas
ury department upon demand.
Four kinds of notes aro printed: United
States notes, silver and gold certificate
and national bank notes. Tho denomina
tions of each printed aro us follows:
United States notes, five on ten dollars;
silver certificates, one, two, five and ten
dollars; gold certificates, ten. twenty,
fifty, ono hundred, five hundred, one
thousand, five thousand and ton thousand
dollars, national bank notes, five, ten
twenty, fifty and ono hundred dollars,
There nro eleven denominations.
To return to statistics, tho sheets used
In a year number 87,034,703, each sheet
taking four Impressions. That means
that each day 290,182 sheets aro printed.
Ttio paper costs annually $405,000, or, ror
a slnglo day, $1,550. ' Tho entire cost of
.manufacturing money Is, for .a year,
$3,G9G,WK), or $12,320 per diem.- -Against
that; however, is- the dally output of
notes, tho value of which .ls!$4,812,m
Rut tho cos.t ot tho paper Is not tho

There is tho ink, of hlch S42- tons are
used every year, or two and three-quarters
tons a- day., That costs $142,000 a
year, or $473 each day. An important
Item also Is tho plates. Tho amount of
money spent on these every year Is $140,
000, or $457 each day. The number of
plates made In a year Is abot 2.414, or
wli'lc'h number 2,Hf are faces and tho re
mainder backs. Scventy-fivo men aro
employed In, engraving thosp plates, while
an entire year Is required In preparing
tho original plate, including tho engrav
ing of dies, transferring to rolls, etc.
Three days are necessary, however, to
make subsequent renewals ofTphrte'- It
Is pos,slb)e to take about 150,000 impres
sions from plates for the backs, whllo
the plates bearing the faces can only, bo
used about 43,000 times.
Think, of having almost two tons of
crisp, unwrlnkied bills, dono up neatly
in packages of ICO and of all tho various
denominations! Such Is the weight of a
slnglo day's output from the bureau. Tho
annual output weighs 544 tons.
In addition to tho paper money printed
at the bureau, of engraving and printing,
bonds are also manufactured. Last year,
for example, 04.000 Panama canal bonds
were printed, the face valuo of which
was $74,800,000. These wero new bonds.

Those who try to euro colds by drugs
nro orlly Inviting constant attacks'.
Where, thrso colds nro of' a troublesome
catarrhal nnture tho first thing to do
Is to avoid excess of meat. Onco u day
only should meat 'be eaten -until you
have been free from catarrh for at least
a yoar. Tho skin and other brgahs
which ollmlnato tho body poisons should
be kept In perfect condition. It not,
theso body poisons-back up. In-tho sys
tem, flood tho mucus membranes of
noso and adjoining cavities and catarrh
becomes a fixed trouble.
All theso matters attended to con
stantly and properly tho next important
detail Is ono of clothing. Proper cover
ing of the feet- Is ot great Importance
becauso it is n, detail sadly neglectod.
Tho liublt of- wearing rubbers Is the
cause of colds and catarrh. Rubbers
worn on tho feet during damp or threat
ening weather Is a habit dangerous to
health. When a fond mother says to her
child beforo going out: "Bo surs now
not to forget to wear your rubbers," sho
Is nrnctlenllv bringing that child to 0.
condition whero colds will bo nn al
most constant stato of ill health, weak
ening to ony system.
Rubbers being practically airtight
they prevent, evaporation from the feet
and elimination of waste material; Just
tho things wo must avoid If wu arc to
keep tho physical balance which makes
rnr irood 'health. Now, in very wot
wrathor. sloppy show or moist mud,
ruhbers may bo worn for a short tlmo;
but ttio habit of keeping them on In
office, in stores whllo shopping or any
dry and warm place, Is whero tho harm
comes: And this warning is necessary
becauso onco a woman has put on rub
bora she will keep them on all day, ro-
trardless of weather or place. ,
What should bo worn In wet r damp
stout shoes with cork or
Tin. liablt of wearing' storm boats made
impervious . to w.ator by some- form of
rubber preparation is equally; injurious
for tho reason jthat tlieyj; prevent tli
proper .cvnporatldn from th'o'Bkln. To
put theso, raincoats on when it is really
storming and where ono Is to walk but
a short dlstanoe is all very well, but to
wftnr ono as a cover coat, us. is. in e gen
oral custom If the sky 1 cloudy, Is cer
tain to Induce colds and catarrh.

Many people will upon the approach ot

not a protection by any menns-plaoo
against fuelr skin some form of nbomnable
chest pads or abdominal bandagen. Theso
all prevent Just what nature demands for
protection against colds-free action of
all uaits of the bltln.
Tho wearing of furs, heavy wraps' and
thick overcoats is ia cauae.of catarrh and
similar troubles., Of coursp, thepe heavy
outside apparels, are nil right If caro Is
taken to Immediately romovo them when
entering warm rooms or halls, but this
care is too often neglected, ''No; I'm

to the effflct that "neulskln sacques kill
more people than smallpo" the truth
Is that 'wlien a -person, enters u. theater 1
nr anv nlaee where thero are gathered a I
largo number of allr kinds and sortB of
people, unless the skin Is, allowed to ac-
(.itinimxlatt' its functions to the changes

Months may roll on and you wondr
why you arc not'fcellng fit, why you have
headaches and. colds; then the horrible
revelation that your lungs are affected,
comes as n finishing shock.
Tho clothing next tho skin should "ie
woolen. At least it should contain a
largo proportion of (his substance, "or
sensitive skins silk nnd linen will do If
earn Is taken In cold weather never to
wear for a minute outer wraps or fur
Indoors.
Never, however, should the skin bo
swathed In woolen garments such us to
produce certain perspiration. Yon should
never feel too warm indoors with wraps
oft nor too chilly out of door with furs
or wraps on. If such Is the cc you
are not properly clothed.
Thero Is iio virtue In "Minltnry" under
wear unless they allow free evaporation
and nro weighted to the weather not
tho seasons-mind you? ThooroUcatly tho
samo weight of underwear should ' bo
worn tho year round, only tho outer
clothing changed to fit the weather.
If common sense is used In following
these rules catarrh will disappear nnd
colds bo unknown to you.
Keeping tho feet encased In thick
stockings or socks does not by any inc,ans
afford winter protection for them. In
tho first place, as has been rrpoated so
often, keeping tho foot dry, Is tho first
guide 6f self-defenso from colds. ThicJ;
hosiery will not keep the frc't dry. Pcr-
pplratton results front the thick knitted
woolen hosiery, and especially in winter
this ts diuigeious, beco-uso so many wtar
rubbcra which keep tl'io feet In ns bad a
condition ns If they were actually wet by
means ot leaky shoes.
Partly silk hosiery Is good. All-silk
hosiery Is oven b.-ttrr for keeping the feet
worm, if you must wear woolen hosiery
so to It that It is of tho very finest and
thinnest vorlfty. nnd that you do not
wear rubbers for n moment indoors.

Non-Skid
Now our experts, who encfed rinvcutting, have
solved the Non-Skid problem. , .'''.
It will probably .double the average life of non
skids. See below.
No-Rim-Cut tires, with their oversize, save an av
erage of 48 per cent.
That saving has made these tires by far the most
popular tires in the world.
Now this added saying. ' Note what it means on a
winter tire.
It comet in Uui way:
We uso an extra tread made ol!
very tough rubber. -That means a
double-thick tread.
The blocka are dcep-cut and im
mensely enduring:. They last for
thousands of miles.
They meet at tho base, so the
strain is distributed over the fabric.
Old -time projections, centered
the strain on a small part of the
fabric. These spread that strain,
just as with smooth-tread tires.
That's the greatest saving.
Bulldog Grip
We present to the road surface
countless edges and angle3. In
.every direction .theygrasp with a'
bulldog grip.
Please make a comparison with
other non-skids.' One moment
