A CRAZY MAN
FOUND EATING AN EGG, SHELL
AND All,

FOUND EATING AN EGG, SHELL
AND ALL.
Rational people thought it was aw-
full, as the shell had no food value,
and was, of course, indigestible and
injurious.
It is just as crazy for rational peo-
pie to swallow lot Of cod liver oil, to
get the medicinal curatives from it,
as 1t was for the crazy man to eat
the egg, shell and all.
Modern science has proved that the
oil, or greasy part of cod liver oil, has
no value whatever, and only upsets
the stomach and retards recovery. It
Is the medicinal elements which are
enveloped in the cod liver oil, OF
which there are about fifty, that rep
resent all the tonic and curative
power of the famous old remedy.
A preparation containing all the
medicinal curative elements of cod
liver oil, actually taken from fresh
Gods livers, but entirely free from oil
or grease, must, therefore, be the very
best tonic reconstruction possible
Such Is Vinol. It positively does con.
tain every one of the fifty odd medic.

the opinion Of competent observers,
and there is no extraordinary rush for
places in that branch Of the service.
This shows that the governments
operations approximate business con-
ditions whenever it establishes hard
and fast merit system, but this must
always be accomplished in the face
of fierce criticism.
The way to judge congressional ex-
travagance is not by tabulated coll
umns Of appropriation. in which one
side may regard all postal expendi-
lures and the sinking fund appropri-
atoms as expenditures, lille the other
with a different scheme of bookkeep-
ing, may tell better story. The de-
cision should rather rest on COM
mon sense estimate Of the things
which congress actually provides.
The past session has been in many
respects frugal. It has cut appropri-
atoms down very close to the line
made by the house committee, which
is always more prudent than the sem
ate. It has neglected to provide for
a great many things that are really
necessary. And yet no one can say
that real economy prevails.

Result of High Prices.

The story is the same with us. Our
navy, Secretary Moody says, will al
ways be very costly in comparison |
with foreign establishments of the
same kind, and this comes from our |
general regime of high prices, and
also from our method Of using money
instead of sovereignty to buy what
we want. a.
The pensions system illustrates the
same principle. Such wholesale dis
bursements as we have under this
head finds no counterpart elsewhere.
Our distribution must be regarded
as extra, tho belated, compensation
for the soldiers of the union during
the civil war. 1t is In the nature of
a. deferred payment. The government
then established such rates as it
could afford to pay and appealed to
thinks it did not pay enough, and
thru pensions is really increasing the
old compensation.
Certain general principles may,
however, be laid down concerning ex-
travagance and frugality, wholly I'M
related to what foreign governments
do and pay. or with what we did or
| paid in past times.
Socialism is costly. The spoils sys-
tenn is costly. Colonialism is costly.
Legislation as it moves in the direction
of any of these things is extravagant;
|
frugal.
People say Spanish war; as If 1t
afforded a full and complete justifca-
ton for the fact that expenses have
reached an altogether new level since
1898.
The war itself was a little affair,
entailing no long burdens like those Of
the great struggle of 1876. It
would not have made a new level but
for colonialism and a considerable in
lection Of the spells system for which
it afforded an excuse.
Socialism, which is tremendously
costly, seems to advance regardless of
parties and policies. It has been
demonstrated over and over again that
any time the United States govern
ment does anything which private en-
terprise could do just as well, the cost
is much increased and somebody has
to pay 1T.
Test of Economy.
i If work Of an important character
Is actually to be done, 1t Is obviously
more economical to give persons un-
dertaking it the benefit Of a reason
able expectation of life tenure, rather
than to have democratic chemists and
foresters for four years to give place
to republican chemists and foresters
, for the next four years, and so on.
Z And yet the spoils system seems
, amazingly popular and persistent. To
find places for good men is a con-
slant search, and not small share
) of the positions recorded in Uncle
: Sans Blue Book can be explained
} only by desire to find something for
{ somebody to do.
