mint which today has Beached
the greatest production in its history,
is cytting down the interest
ibearing debt of the United States

coining of silver dolars, upon which
the energies of the plant have been
concentrated in order to replace the
350,000,000 coins of that denomination
melted down during the war and
sold to the English as bullion. The

260,000 sihrer dollars a day.
After melting the coins sold as bullion,

Mr. Anderson was in his usual
jolly humor during the day, having
visitors until shortly after 4 o'clock.
At 4:15 o'clock he stepped into the
back yard and placed a 32 revolver
against hi& right temple and pulled
the trigger. He lived until 6:15 but
did not regain consciousness, the
bullet having penetrated the brain
and emerged from the opposite side
of the head. "*

A MODEST MANAGEk

Friends are congratulating Mr.
Patterson, manager of battery de-|
partment of City Garage, local distributors
of the Eveready Storage
aattery on the excellent appearance
)f the City Servipe Station, -which is
>ne of the hest equipped in the city.
"Nothing to it," says Mr. Patterson.
"We want our place attractive
md inviting. We want our customers
:o come in for Tegular and frequent
inspections of their storage batteries.
"But after all, you can't judge too
iiuch by appearances. Two storage
i>atteries may look very much alike?
but oh! the difference inside! And
;he stuff inside the battery box is
what determines whether you are
jjoing to get sure starts and bright
ights. -
"The same thing' holds true with
jervice stations. Two service stations
nay be equally attractive in appearance,
but the important thing is
whether the car owner can get
prompt, courteous and efficient serce
from storage battery experts?
nen trained for their jobs, storage f
jattery as the .manufacturer built
nto it./
"The Eveready .people have not
>nly the reputation of building a bat?ry
of remarkable endurance, Ibut
hey back that battery by the com>any,s
written guarantee of one and
i half years of satisfactory service.
"Furthermore they insist upon a
ligh standfard of efficiency from
heir service stations and the Eveready
Service Station sign is the
