A LITTLE LEARNING:
In a recent three-year period Americans lost $771,000 to passers of counterfeit money. Here are some "know your money" tips to help you to tell whether the money you get is the real thing: On a counterfeit bill, the portrait is likely to be dull, smudgy, or unnaturally white and scratchy-looking. The tiny squares in the oval background behind the picture are usually dark and broken. On the seal, the saw-tooth points around the rim are usually broken and uneven. The paper generally has no tiny colored threads running through it, but they may be imitated by fine pen lines of red and blue ink. If you think you have a counterfeit coin, drop it on a hard surface — most counterfeits sound dull, while the genuine article will have a dear ring. Feel the coin, as most counterfeit coins feel greasy. The corrugated outer edge of counterfeit coins is generally uneven, crooked, or the corrugations may be missing in spots. Most counterfeit coins can be easily cut with a knife; the genuine resist cutting.

Taking these figures into consideration, you can a-half years would go. That's someflagpole sitters, goldfish eaters or marat attempt.

Department of Q and A: Question: How can table salt be kept from caking in damp weather? Answer: Keep the spout closed and the package on a low shelf; never store over the stove — steam is humid, hardens and cakes the salt. Use small salt shakers with only a few small holes, clean and refill regularly, being sure they're dry before you refill them. A few grains of rice in the shaker helps absorb moisture.
