Hard to Choke Off.

A remarkable instance of the ex
travagance OF the present administra
ton was revealed by the exposure, BY
Senator Morgan, of the expenses and
remuneration of the Isthmian Cana
Commission. To the great surprise Of
the Senators, Mr.. Morgan stated that
the members of the commission were
still drawing salaries to the amount Of
81 900 per month Notwithstanding the
fact that their duties practically
ceased when they handed to the Presi.
dent, nearly q year ago, their last re.
port on the Panama route. Senator
Morgan stated that the Commission
after spending, during an entire year
but two months on the isthmus haC
drawn funds to cover their expenses
to tho amount of $1,075,0OO. It viii
be remembered that this commission
reports directly to the President t.
whom alone it is responsible, so tina,
Congress has not incurred any respon
sibility in the matter.

THE FARMERS AND FORESTRY
Mississippi Valley Lumberman.


According to report emenat:ng
from Washington, the farmers of the
country own abont half billion acres
OF woodland, or ten times the area OF
all the government reserves. Most OF
it consists of small wood lots from
which the owners get their supply
OF timber for farm purposes.
In order that they might make
these lots more productive, the bureau
OF forestry several years ago offered tc
furnish the services of experts free OIL
cost. The offer proved popular, and
the applications for assistance have
been more numerous than the bureau
has been able to supply. Yet during
the season just ended the bureau has
accomplished more than ever before
in putting small wood lots unde,
scientific forest management and in
teaching the farmer how to properly
treat his timber. Two experts have
been employed in the North and
South, who have examined and pu,
under management many thousand
acres of woodland.
A great deal of wood is used each
year on the farm. The farmer usually
takes what he needs for fuel, posts and
fence rails without any thought OF re.
placing what he cuts. AS result bis
timber land is diminished each year
and in time he has nothing left. The
work of the bureau has consisted in
teaching him how he can make his
timber permanent source of supply
for the needs of the farm. He does
not need the services Of an expert to
manage the reproduction of his crops
but when it comes to forestry an ex-
pert is needed. Usually one visit
from an expert OF the forestry bureau
is all that is needed, and for this one
trip no charge is made. If the farmer
asks for second visit he is expected
to pay the travelling and living ex.
penses OF the expert while he is em-
ployed at the work.
In looking after these things the
government is adding much effective
work to its larger work of managing
the forest reserves. These farm wood
lots are small, but they are scattered
all over the country. They not only
beautify the country, but they serve
to retain the moisture that would
otherwise run off into the streams.
Their preservation and perpetuation
means saving of thousands OF dollars
to the farmer and the prolongation OF
the lives of the regular forests.

Senator Quay has made a gallant
fight during the session for tho ad.
mission of the three territories to
whom statehood was promised in the
national platform of both parties. He
has met with severe opposition from
Senator Beveridge and his supporters
but in no instance have they gained
any advantage over him. Before ad.
journment it was determined by mu'
tual consent to postpone further con-
sideration of the measures until Jan
5, the day on which Congress will
reconvene. Senator Quay still insists
that he will win and there are many
members of the Senate who agree
with him, although the Republican
machine is exerting every effortto &C.
complish his defeat.

For the Bath.

lou must be eXqulsltely clean II
you would be beautiful. One OF the
greatly-to- desired things in this
life is good complexion, and this can
only be obtained by health and clean
illness. To be sure, you cannot bring
back the bloom OF sixteen to the cheek
of forty-fve, but you can induce a
"ripened glory" to even the faded
cheek of a grandmother by attending
to your health and properly caring for
the skin. To obtain the best results,
one must have good circulatory and
respiratory system-the heart and
lungs must do their part.
You cannot do without borax in the
bathroom. Its uses are multifold.
Sometimes it is the nostrils that need
attention. Shifting q borax solution
every morning, letting little of the
wash trickle down the throat, is ex-
ceedingly purifying, and will greatly
benefit you if you have nasal or throat
catarrh.
Salt is also excellent when used as a
nose or throat wash, or as a cleanser
for the teeth. Bathing weak eyes in
salty tepid water is very strengthening

ter; it may be used stronger. 1t is

If you can secure the sea salt for
your all-over bath, it is better than
the common cooking salt, and to a
great extent will take the place of the
ocean dip. Try it some morning
when you feel particularly tired and

Of the salty water and groom yourself
with it.
Plenty of towels is luxury, even if
they are not fine ones. Do not, how.

to buy serviceable material. You
need half q dozen soft fine ones for
patting the face and neck dry. Coarse
towels should not be used above the
shoulders. Crash, in any of the
rougher grades, is all right for the
body and limbs; what you need is
friction, and this you must get in
drying off. A rough towel in strong
hand is about the best method.

namely, that he cannot control its &C.

and are becoming cold and distant in
their attitude toward his administra-

How to Stand Straight.

One of the most admirable points in
military discipline, says an exchange,
is the erectness Of figure given by the
drill exercises. A "soldierly" bearing
is proverbially fine one. The follow:
ing rules, if strictly carried out, will
give the civilian the benefit Of such a
carriage. Try them and see.
Make it q rule to keep the back OF
the neck close to the back of the collar.
Roll the shoulders backward and
downward. Try to squeeze the shout
der-blades together many times day.
Stand erect at short intervals during
the day-''head up, chin in, chest out,
shoulders back"
Walk or stand with the hands clasp
ed behind the head and the elbows
wide apart. Walk about, or even.run
upstairs, with from ten to forty pounds
on the top of the head. Try to look at
the top of your high-cut vest or your
necktie. Practice the arm movements
of the breast-stroke swimming while
standing or walking. Hold the arms
behind the back. Carry cane or um.
brella behind the small of the back OF
behind the neck.
Put the hands on the hips, with ell.
bows back and fingers forward. Walk
with the thumbs in the arm-holes o1
the vest. When walking. swing the
