From Harper's Magazine.

In addition to the fiat tablet, the
Babylonians and Assyrians wrote some
of their books on large prisms and CYL
riders. Some of these cylinders are
as much as two feet in length and eight
to ten inches in diameter. Being made
of the same material as the tablets,
they are necessarily heavy and cum
bersome, yet they were in some ways
more convenient Tor reading, since they
were perforated longtudinally and
placed on a spindle. so as to revolve.
In some cases the writing runs from
end to end of the cylinder, which is
then suspended horizontally. In other
cases the cylinder is upright, the col
umns running from top to bolt ON. IN
the latter case the book is usually not
a true cylinder. but a prism of six,
eight or ten Sides each side inscribed
with separate column of writing like
page of a book. These prisms and
cylinders were commonly selected by
the kings to contain records of their
deeds. Thus the British Museum con-
tains prisms on which are recorded
achievements of such famous conquer
ors as Sargon, Sennacherib and the
Elamite warrior Cyrus. The last-named
cylinder has peculiar interest because
it describes the taking of Babylon.

Strings to designations.
It is understood that a good stout
string is attached to the designations
of those government official holders
who went from Washington to New
York with Chairman Cortelyou and are
now on duty at the headquarters of the
Republican National Committee.
Chairman Cortelyou must be reason-
ably confident that ne is going to make
good as manager of the Republican
campaign, for he has had no difficulty
IN getting the men he desires to go
through the form of resigning their DO
sitions in the Department of Commerce
to work for the National Committee.
with the understanding that they will
be reinstated when the campaign is
over If Roosevelt SHOULD be elected
1t is generally conceded that Mr.. Cor
telyou will be postmaster general in
the next cabinet. In that event he
will have no difficulty in providing
for his faithful followers in the postal
or some other branch of the public
service.
Public Economy an Issue.
The question of economy in the pub
lie expenditures seems to be the most
healthy issue in the pending campaign.
II is difficult to estimate at this time
which party will derive the greater
benefit by agitating it. Some of the
enthusiastic Democrats declare that
the Republicans are paving the way
for a Democratic victory NV laavinp
an empty treasury and cutting off the
financial supplies for the new adminis-
tration when ii comes into power next
March. 1t is also suggested that the
depletion of the revenues in the treas
ury renders tariff reduction practically
impossible, in the event of Democratic
success at the polls next November.
The Republican side of II.
On the other hand, Republicans
claim that the recent order of the
President to bureau officers to hold
back their annual estimates, is in the
interest of practical economy, without
regard to the outcome of the pending
election. 1t is well understood that
at the last session of Congress the
promise was made in good faith by
those in authority that there should
be "a liberal river and harbor bill and
also number of public building bills
passed during the coming short ses-
sion. The Committee on Rivers and
Harbors is now on am official jaunt
inspecting the great water ways like
! ly to be provided for in the river and
harbor bill. and it is the intention of
the administration to try and make
good some of those promises. To do
so there will be a deep in-cut i'm other
directions. This is not cheering news

BY r. NJ Larner.
Washington. Sept 13.-Republican
extravaganza in public expenditures,
was the topic of discussion, recently,
at Democratic congressional headquar-
tiers. Representative Livingston, who
is member of the Committee on APP
propriations. recalled the large sum of
money expended in the questionable
alterations made at the White House
last year, by executive order.
I'VE were never able to get an item
ICED statement of the 100000 or $500, 900
expended for those so-called improve
ments," said Mr.. Livingston. The
members of the committee made re-
peated requests for specific statements
of those accounts, but we We're never
able TO get them. The alterations in
the White House were never estimated
or authorized. and the first Congress
knew officially of the transaction,
was a demand in the deficiency bill
for nearly 81, zoo, 900 to cover expendi-
lures made at the White House Re-
publican as well as Democratic mem
bers of the committee protested
against the expenditure of such large
amount of money without prior au-
thorizat ion by Congress, but it was
finally appropriated, because the al
terations had been made, and it was
too late to get into a controversy with
the President on the subject"
Decorations Failure.
In this connection the fact was
brought out that the work of decorat-
ing the sleeping apartments of the Pres
ident and his family at the White
House, performed last year. was a
complete failure. or at least so unsat-

now being done over by a local estab-

touches to the bedrooms upstairs and
other Improvements about the mansion
are being pushed vigorously forward
in anticipation of the early return of

are vegetables; and Liquozone like
an excess OF oxygen-is deadly to
vegetal matter.
There lies the great value Of Liquo-
zone. It is the only way known to
kill germs in the body without killing
the tissues, too. Any drug that kills
germs Is a poison, and It cannot be
taken internally. Medicine is almost
helpless in any germ disease. It is
this fact that gives LiQuozone its
worth 10 humanity. And that worth is
so great that. after testing the product
