DIPLOMACY AND RUBBER.
Secretary Hay Has Adopted
Rubber Heels.

II hustlers will let up awhile
In their struggle after wealth;
Quit striving to Increase their pile
And look out for their health
They will be wearing rubber heels,
And make demonstration
OF the easy way, like Sec'y Hay
The diplomat of the nation,
To overcome the Jars Of life
And show their friends the ones
That come the next to angels wings
Are called O'Sullivan's.
Treasured energy is as necessary in
diplomacy as in the more humble walks
OF life.
If rubber heels are good enough for
Secretary Hay, they are good enough for
YOU
But none Of them are SO good as
O,Sullivan's. IS cents a pair.
Send to O'Sullivan Rubber Co., Lowell,
Mass, If the dealer fails to serve you.

COMMANDERS TO PURCHASE
General Staff Adopts New Rule Re-
garding Army Supplies.

New York Sun Special Service. II
Washington, Sept. 5.-The general staff
of the army has ordered change in war
department regulations so that hereafter
food, fuel, forage and other garrison sup
plies shall be contracted for by the various
department commanders. This change has
been advocated by many able military
men in the past, but the beureaucrats
have been SO firmly intrenched in the
war department that nobody could accom-
plish the desired reform.
For years all army supplies have been
contracted for by the heads Of various
staff departments here, which has almost
invariably resulted in delay and in in
creased cost to the government. The gen.
eral staff thought that the officers COM
manding the several army department
scattered all over the United States were
In better position to purchase needed
supplies than department bureaucrats
hundreds Of miles away.
